A polarized micropulse lidar (P-MPL) employing a pulsed laser at 532 nm was developed by the Institute of Oceanographic Instrumentation, Qilu University Technology (Shandong Academy Sciences). The optomechanical structure, technical parameters, detection principle, overlap factor calculation method, and inversion methods atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) depth depolarization ratio (DR) were intr...

Understanding the relationship between gas diffusion electrode (GDE) structures and performance of electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is crucial to developing industrial-scale technologies convert valuable products. We studied how microporous layer (MPL) on GDE's coated with silver nanoparticle catalysts affects conversion CO in a flow cell electrolyser. demonstrate convenient metho...

This work discusses the backward reachability of autonomous Max-Plus-Linear (MPL) systems, a class of continuous-space discrete-event models that are relevant for applications dealing with synchronization and scheduling. Given an MPL system and a continuous set of final states, we characterize and compute its “backward reach tube” and “backward reach sets,” namely the set of states that can rea...

In order to enhance the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) speed of solar generators, offline calculated maximum power line (MPL) is often used as a feed-forward signal added to the output of MPPT controller. MPL is nonlinear static electrical characteristic of renewable energy generators connecting all the maximum power points for given temperature. In this letter, electrical side MPL is deri...

We report the design, fabrication and characterization of a balanced optical discriminator for a high performance phase modulation-direct detection microwave photonic link (MPL). The discriminator is an integrated optical filter consisting of five ring resonators which are fully tunable using thermo-optical tuning. The discriminator is configured to yield a desired transfer where the intensity ...

Max-plus-linear (MPL) systems are a class of discrete-event systems that can be described by models that are “linear” in the max-plus algebra. MPL systems arise in the context of e.g. manufacturing systems, telecommunication networks, railway networks, and parallel computing. We derive a receding horizon control scheme for MPL systems that guarantees a priori stability (in the sense of boundedn...

Monadic second-order logic (MSOL) provides a general framework for expressing properties of reactive systems as modelled by trees. Monadic path logic (MPL) is obtained by restricting second-order quantification to paths reflecting computation sequences. In this paper we show that the expressive power of MPL over trees coincides with the usual branching time logic CTL∗ embellished with a simple ...

The Mars Polar Lander (MPL) mission is the first planetary mission to w e Internet-based distributed ground operations where scientista and engineers cod labornte in daily mission operations f+om multiple geographically distributed locations via the Internet. This paper describes the operations system, the Web Interface for Telescience (WITS), which is used by the MPL mission for Internet-based...

We introduce a unified framework for nonlinear signal processing with finite normal mixtures (FNM) by using maximum partial likelihood (MPL) theory. We show that the equivalence of MPL to accumulated relative entropy (ARE) minimization is valid for the FNM. Then, we define the information geometry of MPL and use the result to derive the em algorithm for distribution learning based on the FNM mo...

We developed a chemically defined medium called milieu proche du lait (MPL), in which 22 Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) strains exhibited growth rates ranging from 0.55 to 1 h(-1). MPL can also be used for cultivation of other lactobacilli and Streptococcus thermophilus. The growth characteristics of L. bulgaricus in MPL containing different carbon sources were dete...
