Transport and sedimentation of microplastics by turbidity currents: Dependence on suspended sediment concentration and grain size by Marianna Soler, Jordi Colomer, Florian Pohl, Teresa Serra

“…Utilizing flows with different sediment concentrations and grain sizes in combination with three different MPs (PET fibers, melamine, and PVC fragments), the experiments revealed distinct sedimentation patterns: higher sediment concentrations enhance MP transport, and turbidity currents with finer sediments transported MPs over greater distances, highlighting the importance of sediment characteristics to predict MP distribution by such flows. …”

Generation of (3, 1) Vector Signal Based on Probabilistic Shaping Technology without Precoding by Jiangnan Xiao, Xu Dong, Bo Liu, Xingxing Feng, Chuang Zhao, Jiangli Zuo

“…The PS (3, 1) photonic vector signal and the normal (3, 1) photonic vector signal are used to transmit in 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km single-mode fibers (SMF), respectively. The simulation results demonstrate that the bit error ratio (BER) of the PS (3, 1) vector signal is less than the forward error correction (FEC) threshold of 3.8 × 10−3, and the BER performance is better than that of the normal (3, 1) vector signal at 4 Gbit/s and 8 Gbit/s transmission rates.…”
