Fading mitigation coding techniques for space to ground free space optical communications

2014

In this manuscript, a Geostationary satellite-toground Free Space Optics (FSO) downlink channel model has been implemented, which is able to predict temporal irradiance fluctuations caused by scintillation at a wide range of turbulence conditions and for different values of the zenith angle. In order to mitigate fading events that occur in FSO communications, we have also tested the performance of three different families of Rateless Codes (Luby Transform, Raptor and RaptorQ) into our model and found that RaptorQ is the best candidate to mitigate errors in FSO links. Keywords— Optical Wireless Communications; Space-toGround FSO links, time-series, rateless codes; fading mitigation

The vertical spectrum of H2CO revisited: (SC)2-CI and CC calculations

2003

The vertical electronic spectrum of formaldehyde has been studied by means of (SC)2-MR-SDCI and CCLR methods. Two basis sets of atomic natural orbitals (ANOs) complemented with a one-centre series of Rydberg orbitals were used. The first was taken from the CASPT2 study by Merchan, M., and Roos, B. O., 1995, Theoret. Chim. Acta, 92, 221, and may be described as C,O[4s3pld]/H[2slp] with a lslpld Rydberg series centred in the charge centroid of the 2B2 state of the cation. The second was a larger basis set that may be described as C,O[6s5p3d2f]/H[4s3p2d] + 3s3p3d in the same centre. The (SC)2 dressing may be applied efficiently to an MR-SDCI method and comparison with the dressed CAS-SDCI is s…

Orbital Structure of the Two Fixed Centres Problem

1999

The set of orbits of the Two Fixed Centres problem has been known for a long time (Charlier, 1902, 1907; Pars, 1965), since it is an integrable Hamiltonian system.

Roles of sorbitol and sucrose in growth and respiration of ‘Encore’ peach fruit in the three developmental stages

2002

In peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch (Peach Group)], both sorbitol and sucrose are utilized for source to sink carbon (C) transport, yet their specific functions in fruit growth and development remain unclear. Growth rate (GR), respiration rate (R), carbohydrate content, and the activities of sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), sorbitol oxidase (SOX), sucrose synthase (SS), acid invertase (AI), and neutral invertase (NI) were determined in ‘Encore’ peach fruit to study the specific functions of sorbitol and sucrose in each phase of fruit development (an early period of rapid cell division, a relatively inactive intermediate stage where endocarp (pit) hardening occurs, and a final swelling due to …

Azione antalgica di Hydrogel nell'orbitopatia basedowiana

2007

La terapia dell'orbitopatia,nella fase acuta,si basa oltre che sulla correzione della turba endocrinologica,sulla protezione della cornea e sull'uso dei corticosteroidi ad alto dosaggio o di farmaci immunosoppressori o, in alternativa,sulla radioterapia orbitaria.Per attenuare la sintomatologia dolorosa,frequente nella fase acuta e che può inficiare la qualità della vita,data la componente flogistica,abbiamo voluto valutare gli effetti di una terapia antalgica mediante appliocazione sulla superficie palpebrale di un gel chirurgico criogenico decongestinante ( a contenuto di estratto di ananas più acido betaglicirretico),ad oggi utilizzato con risultati soddisfacenti in soggetti sottoposti a…

Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic action of hydrogel in thyroid orbitopathy.

2011

Purpose: To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of applying on the eyelid surface sterile hydrogel dressings containing substances such as pineapple extract which has anti-inflammatory and antioedema properties, and 18 beta-glycyrrhetinic acid. Design: Randomized prospective clinical trial. Methods: 50 patients (16 males and 34 females) affected with thyroid-associated orbitopathy in acute phase equally distributed in two groups. The level of patient satisfaction of the treatment was measured by answering a questionnaire before and after the treatment phase. Results: While 24 patients of study group reported an reduction in the pain only 2 of control group did. In the study group questionnaire’…

MS-CASPT2 analysis of the UV thermochromism of octamethyltrisilane

2006

We interpret the reversal of the direction of the thermochromic shift of the first absorption band of peralkylated oligosilanes as the silicon chain is extended, based on multistate complete active space second-order perturbation theory (MS-CASPT2) calculations for octamethyltrisilane, Si3Me8. The observed shift is attributed to the effect of b1 distortions from ground state equilibrium geometry on vertical excited state energies and intensities. A generally contracted basis set of atomic natural orbitals (ANOs) at a ground state geometry optimized in the second-order Moller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) approximation with Dunning's correlation consistent triple-zeta basis set (cc-pVTZ)…
