In both forest and agricultural soils, plant derived cuticular materials can constitute a significant part of soil organic matter. In this study, the sorption of nonpolar (naphthalene and phenanthrene) and polar (phenol and 1-naphthol) aromatic organic pollutants to aliphatic-rich cuticularfractions of green pepper (Capsicum annuum) (i.e., bulk (PC1), dewaxed (PC2), nonsaponifiable (PC3), nonsa...

In general, a buoy relay is used to connect the underwater communication terrestrial network over radio or optical wireless (OWC) link. The use of deployment may pose security and issues. This paper investigates feasibility direct air-to-underwater (A2UW) from an over-the-sea OWC system submarine without deploying relaying node. We analyze statistical performance transmission combined channel f...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploring the application of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) optical wireless communication (OWC). As photon counting detector, SPAD can provide much higher sensitivity compared to other commonly used photodetectors. However, SPAD-based receivers suffer from significant dead-time-induced non-linear distortion and signal dependent noise....

The chamber configuration of an asymmetric, fixed-detached Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device was investigated theoretically to analyze its effects on hydrodynamic performance. Two-dimensional linear wave theory used, and the solutions for associated radiation scattering boundary value problems (BVPs) were derived through matched eigenfunction expansion method (EEM) element (BEM). results ef...

Optical wireless communication (OWC) is one of the promising solution to enhance capacity next generation cellular as well fiber-wireless (FiWi) broadband access networks. The proposed work aims complement an OWC system by utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) improve performance integrated terrestrial-air-underwater (TAU) framework. Specifically, FiWi based UAV assisted hybrid free-space op...

High-performance beam-steering devices play a crucial role for optical wireless communication (OWC), which can meet the demand increasing number of mobile and emerging high-speed multimedia applications. Conventional components like spatial light modulator digital micromirror device are limited to realize small steering angle (typ. several degrees), thus dramatically limits scope OWC. Herein, m...

Optical wireless communication (OWC) meets the demands of future six-generation mobile network (6G) as it operates at several hundreds Terahertz and has potential to enable data rate in order Tbps. However, most beam-steering OWC technologies require high-accuracy positioning high-speed control. Resonant beam (RBCom), one kind non-positioning technologies, been proposed for high-rate communicat...
