Robust 10 Gbps Fso Communication And Up To 70db/Km High-Fidelity Psk Modulation Under Diverse Atmospheric Turbulence, Raghad Zuhair Yousif, Soran Salah Fareeq Aldawoodi, Sirwan Kareem Jalal, Sevan H. Ali

Engineering and Technology Journal

This work introduces a free-space optical (FSO) communication system engineered to operate effectively under diverse atmospheric conditions, specifically addressing attenuation levels of 20, 30, 40, and 70 dB/km at a stable data rate of 10 Gbps. The proposed architecture utilizes advanced Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulation, combined with a 60 dBm continuous-wave laser, a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), and optical amplifiers with 20 dB gain, to ensure signals can be transmitted through challenging atmospheric channels. The model performs quite well, even in diverse conditions, and remains effective when the signal is 70 dB/Km weaker. It has a Q-factor of approximately 10.069 …

Optimization Algorithms And Modeling Techniques For Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems: A Mini Review, Marwan J. Hussein, Omar Talib Khazraji, Ahmed M Almawla

Engineering and Technology Journal

The growing world-wide demand of power from renewable sources has brought up considerable attention to HRES system as the strong supplementary or alternative systems for fossil-fuel based energy generation. The efficient deployment of HRESs has to tackle a number of difficult optimization problems that involve the trade-offs between cost, reliability and sustainability. Sophisticated optimization techniques are the key in system design and operation. This paper classifies and assesses the solar, wind, biomass and energy storage based HRES optimization methodologies. It defines significant modeling methodologies and measures, such as Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP) and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). …

Adaptive Wheelchair Control Using Fuzzy Logic And Eye Gaze Metrics, Hanan J. Abdulkareem, Sadik K. Gharghan, Saad Mutashar

Engineering and Technology Journal

Intelligent wheelchair systems are crucial for enabling hands-free mobility in individuals with severe physical impairments. This paper presents a novel eye-movement-based wheelchair control system that integrates camera-based gaze detection with fuzzy logic decision-making. By analyzing the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR), along with horizontal and vertical gaze ratios, the system interprets real-time eye movements into five navigational commands: “Move Forward,” “Move Backward,” “Move Left,” “Move Right,” and “Stop.” A time threshold mechanism (2–5 seconds) ensures intentionality by filtering out involuntary gaze fluctuations. The novelty of this work lies in its hybrid use of real-time video processing and fuzzy logic reasoning to …

Undergraduate Engagement In Neutron Scattering As A Pathway To U.S. Competitiveness And A Diverse Scientific Workforce, Hillary L. Smith

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Works

Engaging undergraduate students in neutron scattering experiments through beamtime trips, student internships, or class visits is a powerful driver of scientific progress in the United States. These experiences provide hands-on exposure to advanced instrumentation, mentorship from diverse scientists, and insight into large-scale research infrastructure. By contributing meaningfully to proposal development, sample preparation, data collection, and data analysis, students develop confidence, scientific identity, and a sense of belonging, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. Early engagement cultivates a skilled and motivated scientific workforce, strengthens the capabilities and mission of national laboratories, and ensures continued U.S. leadership in discovery and innovation.

Emotional Branch Termination And False Fantasy Collapse: A Structural Specification Of Computational Resource Restitution In Interpersonal Systems, Griselda Poe

Publications and Research

This paper specifies the structural protocol for communication within interpersonal systems by focusing on branch generation mechanisms and computational resource allocation. Conventional interpersonal communication often relies on emotional modulation, which obscures established constraints and triggers the generation of Emotional Branches (EB) within the recipient’s internal model. These branches function as unresolved parallel processing tasks that persistently occupy working memory, leading to a state of non-computability termed False Fantasy (FF). To resolve this, the study introduces Emotional Branch Termination (EBT)—a termination operation that outputs only constraints, facts, and procedures while excluding emotional modifiers. By halting the supply of EBs, EBT triggers …

Interview With Orca Award Winner Michael James, Unl Textile Clothing & Design; Abstract Quilted Fabric Artist, Mark A. Griep, Michael James

UNL ORCA Interview Series

Prof. Michael James was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Something in his youth must have sparked an interest in the arts because he earned a bachelor and master of fine arts, both with an emphasis on painting and printmaking. His bachelor’s was from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth and his master’s was from the Rochester Institute of Technology. After graduation, he embarked on a 26-year career as an independent studio quilt designer and maker. His career took a new direction in Spring 2000 when he was a Visiting Lecturer in Textiles at his Dartmouth Alma Mater. In Fall 2000, …

Reassessing Transketolase Assays: Methodological Considerations For Detecting Functional Thiamine Deficiency, Katie A. Edwards

Pharmacy Faculty Scholarship

Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency due to degradation, inadequate intake, impaired absorption, or increased metabolic demand remains prevalent in both human and animal populations. In its diphosphate form (thiamine diphosphate, TDP), thiamine serves as an essential cofactor for metabolic enzymes, including transketolase (TKT), a rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose-phosphate pathway. Measurement of TKT activity with and without exogenous TDP provides a functional assessment of thiamine utilization that serves as a surrogate for or complements direct quantification of thiamine forms. Beyond its historical role as a deficiency-screening tool, the TKT assay offers opportunities to interrogate enzyme function and cofactor dependence. Strategic variation …
