Analytical time-domain model for radio over free space optical (RoFSO) systems considering the scintillation effect
This work was supported by the World-Class University (WCU) Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (R31-10026), and Grant K20901000004-09E0100-00410 funded by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (MEST).An analytical time-domain model is presented to analyze a radio over free space optical (RoFSO) system considering the scintillation effect with a log-normal distribution. This analytical model uses a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and photodetector (PD) for typical optical double sideband (ODSB) and single sideband (OSSB) signals. We show the output current of PD as a function of the summation of each frequency component in time domain. Finally, we calculate the received signal power with respect to the power spectral density (PSD) and derive a closed-form average bit error rate (BER) performance.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio
Constraining the HI-Halo Mass Relation From Galaxy Clustering
We study the dependence of galaxy clustering on atomic gas mass using a
sample of 16,000 galaxies with redshift in the range of
and HI mass of , drawn from the 70% complete sample
of the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey. We construct subsamples of galaxies
with above different thresholds, and make volume-limited
clustering measurements in terms of three statistics: the projected two-point
correlation function, the projected cross-correlation function with respect to
a reference sample selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the
redshift-space monopole moment. In contrast to previous studies, which found
no/weak HI-mass dependence, we find both the clustering amplitude on scales
above a few Mpc and the bias factors to increase significantly with increasing
HI mass for subsamples with HI mass thresholds above . For HI
mass thresholds below , while the measurements have large
uncertainties caused by the limited survey volume and sample size, the inferred
galaxy bias factors are systematically lower than the minimum halo bias factor
from mass-selected halo samples. The simple halo model, in which galaxy content
is only determined by halo mass, has difficulties in interpreting the
clustering measurements of the HI-selected samples. We extend the simple model
by including the halo formation time as an additional parameter. A model that
puts HI-rich galaxies into halos that formed late can reproduce the clustering
measurements reasonably well. We present the implications of our best-fitting
model on the correlation of HI mass with halo mass and formation time, as well
as the halo occupation distributions and HI mass functions for central and
satellite galaxies. These results are compared with the predictions from
semi-analytic galaxy formation models and hydrodynamic galaxy formation
simulations.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ. The 2PCF measurements are available

Knowledge Management Systems Diffusion in Chinese Enterprises: A Multi-Stage Approach with the Technology-Organization-Environment Framework
Many enterprises encounter difficulties during the process of KMS diffusion and thus fail to gain benefits from KMS adoption. This study aims to explain why some enterprises succeed while others fail in KMS diffusion. Based on technology diffusion theory and technologyorganization- environment (TOE) framework, we propose an integrated model to examine the influence of factors from the technological, organizational, and environmental aspects on the three-stage KMS diffusion process, i.e., initiation- adoption/adaptation-acceptance /routinization /infusion. In particular, we incorporate social-cultural factors into our model to examine its effect on KMS diffusion, which has not been paid enough attention by prior KMS studies. For the specific research context, we choose China and examine how socialcultural factors influence KMS diffusion process in Chinese enterprises. This study benefits academics by providing a process perspective of KMS diffusion and also provides practical guidance for Chinese enterprises which are engaging in KMS implementation
