Ammonia-dependent reducing power redistribution for purple phototrophic bacteria culture-based biohydrogen production by Huang, Peitian, Chen, Yun, Li, Zong, Zhang, Baorui, Yu, Siwei, Zhou, Yan

“…The results show that (a) The absence of ammonia resulted in the best performance for hydrogen production, with 44 % of the reducing power distributed to H2 and the highest H2 volumetric productivity, while the allocation of reducing power to hydrogen production stopped when ammonia loading was above 7.6 mg NH4-N·L-1·d-1; (b) when PPB required to eliminate reducing power under ammonia limited conditions, PHA production was the preferred pathway followed by the hydrogen production pathway, but once PHA accumulation reached saturation, hydrogen generation pathway dominated; (c) under ammonia limited conditions, the TCA cycle was more activated rendering higher NADH (i.e. reducing power) production compared with that under ammonia sufficient conditions which was verified by metagenomics analysis, and all the hydrogen production, PHA accumulation and carbon fixation pathways were highly active to dissipate reducing power. …”

Investigation on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation by Fan, Rui

“…OFDM-GIM2 may be further extended, such that the input bit string jointly decides the active indices for in-phase and quadrature components. As a result, more bits can be transmitted per OFDM frame. The symbol constellations of Phase Shift Keying (PSK) or amplitude modulation are identical when the constellation sizes are of 2 or 4. …”
