Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging of Tissue Microstructure and Early Treatment in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Conventional MRI cannot resolve the coexisting pathological processes within multiple sclerosis tissue. Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging decomposes the diffusion signal into fiber, cell, and hindered ratios indexing axonal integrity, cellularity, and extracellular space, respectively.

Clinical, Histologic, and Serological Predictors of Renal Function Loss in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Kidney survival is the ultimate goal in lupus nephritis (LN) management, but long‐term predictors remain inadequately studied, requiring long‐term follow‐up. This study aimed to identify baseline and early longitudinal predictors of kidney survival in the Accelerating Medicines Partnership LN longitudinal cohort.

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Comparative Research on Mode Permutation Strategies in Mode-division Multiplexing Systems

Guangtongxin yanjiu
【Objective】Mode-division multiplexing is a key technology to break through the capacity limit of single-mode fiber systems. In the few-mode fiber links, the pulse broadening caused by intermodal dispersion increases the complexity of multiple-input ...

Twist Sensor Based on Long Period Grating and Tilted Bragg Grating Written in Few-Mode Fibers

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
A twist sensor based on a few-mode long period grating (LPG) and a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) is proposed and demonstrated. The LPG, inscribed in a step index few-mode fiber by a CO2 laser, is utilized to excite the LP11 core mode.

Forward Brillouin scattering in few-mode fibers

Light: Science & Applications
Abstract Forward Brillouin scattering is an opto-mechanical effect in which two co-propagating optical fields couple with an acoustic mode in a common medium. The effect has been studied in standard optical fibers since 1985, however nearly all studies have been limited to the single optical mode regime. Forward Brillouin scattering in single-

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Simultaneous Beat-Length Measurement of a Polarization-Maintaining Few-Mode Fiber

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
Based on the polarization interference technique, we propose a modified method for simultaneously measuring the beat length of all guided modes in a polarization-maintaining few-mode fiber (PM-FMF).

Thermomechanical Fatigue and Creep–Fatigue Interaction of Inconel 718 Additively Manufactured by Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Thermomechanical fatigue tests of laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) Inconel 718 show that the additively manufactured material reaches almost the lifetimes of conventionally‐rolled material under no‐dwell conditions. Introducing dwell times at the maximum temperature markedly reduces the lifetimes due to pronounced grain boundary sliding associated

Design of Self-Matching Photonic Lantern for High-Order Transverse-Mode Laser Systems

Photonics
High-order transverse-mode lasers have important potential application value in many fields. To address the current issue of the limited controllability of modes in high-order transverse-mode lasers, we have designed a self-matching photonic lantern ...
