OFDM MMF optical communication transmission system based on mode group division multiplexing

To increase the transmission capacity of multimode fiber (MMF) drastically, Mode Group Division Multiplexing (MGDM), an optical MIMO technique, can be applied. With MGDM, different mode groups, propagating in MMF are used to carry different information. In this paper, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), a multi-carrier modulation scheme which not only can make efficient use of the available spectrum but is more resistant to frequency selective fading is proposed in an MGDM system. Simulation results of a 2 x 2 OFDM MGDM system operating at high bitrates will be presented and discussed and an improved performance is shown

A phosphorus NMR study of the reaction products of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) with a double-helical oligonucleotide and with DNA

AbstractThe structural distortion of oligonucleotides upon cis-PtCl2(NH3)2{d(T-C-T-C-G-G-T-C-T'-C-N7(5) N7(6)} reveals shifting of 4 phosphorus resonances due to platination. 3 Resonances could be assigned by selective 31P-irradiation, showing P(6) (P between the two Gs) to be shifted 1.5 ppm to low field. In the concomitant double strands P(6) is shifted 0.9 ppm to lower field. A similar peak has been observed in platinated salmon sperm DNA (37°C), indicating that Pt-binding to GpG-fragments in DNA is similar to that found for the decanucleotide, so the distortion of DNA might be comparable

Novel generation and transmission of 2 Gbps impulse radio ultra wideband over MMF for in-building networks application

We propose novel generation technique of IR-UWB pulse by linearly combining two monocycles using different pulse shapes. We experimentally demonstrate DSP based BER measurement of 2 Gbps IR-UWB over multimode fiber for in-building networks application.</p

Structural basis of ubiquitin-independent PP1 complex disassembly by p97

The AAA+-ATPase p97 (also called VCP or Cdc48) unfolds proteins and disassembles protein complexes in numerous cellular processes, but how substrate complexes are loaded onto p97 and disassembled is unclear. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of p97 in the process of disassembling a protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) complex by extracting an inhibitory subunit from PP1. We show that PP1 and its partners SDS22 and inhibitor-3 (I3) are loaded tightly onto p97, surprisingly via a direct contact of SDS22 with the p97 N-domain. Loading is assisted by the p37 adapter that bridges two adjacent p97 N-domains underneath the substrate complex. A stretch of I3 is threaded into the central channel of the spiral-shaped p97 hexamer, while other elements of I3 are still attached to PP1. Thus, our data show how p97 arranges a protein complex between the p97 N-domain and central channel, suggesting a hold-and-extract mechanism for p97-mediated disassembly

4.7 Gbit/s transmission over 50m long 1mm diameter multi-core plastic optical fiber

We report, for the first time, 4.7 Gbit/s transmission over 50m long 1mm diameter multi-core step-index plastic optical fiber, employing discrete multitone techniques and low-cost optical transceiver. A spectral efficiency of 13 bit/s/Hz is demonstrated.</p
