Problem definition: In many resource scheduling problems for services with scheduled starting and completion times (e.g., airport gate assignment), a common approach is to maintain appropriate buff…
On-demand delivery through sharing platforms represents a rapidly expanding segment of the global workforce. The emergence of sharing platforms enables gig workers to choose when and where to work,…
In this article, we test for the effects of high-dimensional covariates on the response. In many applications, different components of covariates usually exhibit various levels of variation, which …
High-power, single-frequency lasers are important in the applications of coherent optical communication, Doppler wind lidar, and remote sensing. Here, a 10-kHz, 353-μJ, single-frequency, 574-ns, 1…
We present a wideband balun-based microwave device for quantum manipulation of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. The device employs a balun with multi-section Chebyshev impedance transformer to …
High-spatial-resolution distributed sensing at high temperature is crucial in many industrial areas, such as aero-engines, nuclear power, furnaces, and fuel cells. Here, we propose and demonstrate …
Random distributed-feedback Raman fiber lasers (RRFLs) are promising contenders in the applications of remote sensing, biotechnology, imaging, thanks to the unique properties on low coherence and w…
Ultrafast visible doughnut beams carrying cylindrically symmetric states of polarization or orbital angular momentum provide new capabilities for super-resolution microscopy, visible light communic…
In the paper, a four-dimensional trellis-coded modulation 16-quadrature amplitude modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (4D TCM 16QAM-OFDM) combined with precoding scheme is propose…
Optical fiber shape sensing technology provides an excellent solution for the tracking and guiding of minimally invasive surgical instruments. However, when some large-deformed instrument operation…
