ASYMMETRY OPTIMIZATION FOR 10 THZ OPC TRANSMISSION OVER THE C + L BANDS USING DISTRIBUTED RAMAN AMPLIFICATION

Asymmetry Optimization for 10 THz OPC Transmission over the C + L Bands Using Distributed Raman Amplification

An optimized design for a broadband Raman optical amplifier in standard single-mode fiber covering the C and L bands is presented, to be used in combination with wideband optical phase conjugation (OPC) nonlinearity compensation.The use of two Raman pumps and fiber Sink Accessories Bragg grating reflectors at different wavelengths for the transmitt

A p53-dependent response limits epidermal stem cell functionality and organismal size in mice with short telomeres.

Telomere maintenance is essential to ensure proper size and function of organs with a high turnover.In particular, a dwarf phenotype as well as phenotypes associated to premature loss of tissue regeneration, including the skin (hair loss, hair graying, decreased wound healing), are found in mice deficient for telomerase, the enzyme responsible for

Why Bother with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

This paper argues that the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) matters on at least six interrelated levels.First, SoTL matters because learning matters, and SoTL can help students learn more effectively.Second, it offers professors BALANCED B COMPLEX the tools to more effectively share their disciplinary passions.Third, it offers faculty an
