112.5 Gbit/s long reach passive optical network with over 31 dB power budget enabled by semiconductor optical amplifiers
Figure 3(a) presents the gain curve of a commercial InP/InGaAsP multiple quantum well (MQW) layer SOA as a function of input power (Pin) into the SOA for three different bias currents of 125 mA, 175 mA, and 225 mA. Regardless of the bias…

Critical role of carbon nanofibers in boosting C-S-H density and fracture toughness in fine recycled aggregate concrete
Materials
Reference fine RAC, reference plain concrete, and RACs nanomodified with CNFs were synthesized in this study. The fine RCAs and natural sand were obtained from Ozinga Concrete (Chicago, IL, USA). The characteristics of the natural sand…

Effects of loading modes and temperature on fracture properties of limestone
Validation of the DIC technique
Figure 5 displays the relationships between the specimen loading time (t) and CMOD of ML-325-2 and CL-325-2 specimens. The changes in the CMOD can be roughly divided into 3 stages under ML: (1) Slow development…

Federated learning-enhanced generative models for non-intrusive load monitoring in smart homes
Problem statement
The goal of NILM is to disaggregate the total power consumption into the individual power consumption of each load. Let \(T = \{ 1, 2, \dots , T \}\) represent the time period, where \(T\) is the total number of time steps. The…
