Sleep monitoring by millimeter wave radar sensor by Ma, Yuchen

“…The sleep monitoring system managed to perform a wireless detection of vital signs, such as heart rate and respiration rate, during sleep. Millimeter rave radar was used to monitor the chest motion, Fourier transform-based methods were applied for frequency resolutions, and band-pass filters were exercised to separate multiple vital sign signals. …”

Mechanisms and Implementation of Thermo-Optical Annealing in Silica Fiber Sensors for Radiation-Induced Attenuation Mitigation by Legoupil, Aurelien Y. M.

“…We design a white light absorption spectroscopy setup with in-situ irradiation and optical annealing, working at liquid nitrogen temperature and different post-irradiation warm-up rates. For the pure silica core and F-doped cladding fibers studied, the RIA spectrum obtained is decomposed into known radiation-induced defect absorption bands, highlighting the key role of self-trapped holes in RIA at telecommunication wavelengths. …”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…These, in turn, lead to direct exploitation of habitats and species, land use degradation and climate change. Southeast Asia is one of most biodiverse region, but it has also experienced extraordinary human population and economic growths in the last decades, leading to pristine habitat loss and deforestation rates among the highest globally. …”

Visible light communication systems supporting wireless data access and indoor positioning applications by Yang, Helin

“…In order to maximize the system data rate while guaranteeing the minimum data rate and high positioning accuracy requirements, a QoS-driven optimized design with joint adaptive modulation, subcarrier allocation and weighted pre-equalization is proposed to improve the system performance. …”

Biogeochemical cycling and environmental footprints of peatland-derived organic carbon in the coastal ocean in Southeast Asia by Zhou, Yongli

“…Each year, 0.2–0.25 Pg C of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is delivered from land to ocean by riverine transport. This riverine flux of terrigenous DOC alone is sufficient to support the turnover of the entire oceanic DOC pool, which means that terrigenous DOC can in theory dominate the DOC pool in the ocean. …”
