We demonstrate a cost-effective bidirectional WDM self-healing ring network using wavelengthinterleaved bidirectional add/drop amplifier modules. The measured restoration time was less than 10 ms. Recently, bidirectional WDM self-healing ring (SHR) networks based on bidirectional transmission have been proposed [1]-[3]. In these networks, each node should be implemented by using a bidirectional...

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L’archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau...

Bartonella proteins that elicit an antibody response during an infection are poorly defined; therefore, to characterize antigens recognized by the host, a Bartonella genomic expression library was screened with serum from an infected mouse. This process led to the discovery of a Bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis gene encoding a 382-kDa protein, part of a gene family encoding large proteins, ...

This paper presents a model based on an hybrid system to numerically simulate the climbing phase of an aircraft. This model is then used within a trajectory prediction tool. Finally, the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) optimization algorithm is used to tune five selected parameters, and thus improve the accuracy of the model. Incorporated within a trajectory prediction ...

As a means of measuring progress towards fuel and emissions reduction targets, the United Kingdom Air Navigation Service Provider NATS developed the 3Di flight efficiency metric. In principle the 3Di score of a flight is calculated by comparing a flown trajectory to a theoretical fuel/CO2 optimum trajectory. In response to a Eurocontrol review of the metric, the 3Di score has been analysed usin...

Original extracts from an unpublished 1958 experiment conducted by the late Stanley L. Miller were recently found and analyzed using modern state-of-the-art analytical methods. The extracts were produced by the action of an electric discharge on a mixture of methane (CH4), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Racemic methionine was formed in significant yields, toget...

The surface Electromyography (sEMG) signal is affected by different sources of noises: current technology is considerably robust to the interferences of the power line or cable motion artifacts, but still there are many limitations in denoising the baseline. In this paper we introduce a new technique, named Baseline Adaptive Denoising Algorithm (BADA), for denoising the sEMG signal by wavelet t...

Ground-based aircraft trajectory prediction is a major concern in air traffic control and management. A safe and efficient prediction is a prerequisite to the implementation of automated tools that detect and solve conflicts between trajectories. This paper focuses on the climb phase, because predictions are much less accurate in this phase than in the cruising phase. Trajectory prediction usua...
