ABSTRACTPassive optical network (PON) is one of the key enabling technologies to fulfill the latest exceptional bandwidth demand owing to an exponential rise of Internet data traffic induced by the expansion of bandwidth‐hungry applications services. The potential of using passive star topology for ITU‐T G.989.x standardardized next generation PON incorporating vertical cavity surface emitting laser input source, is proposed in this paper. Mode division multiplexing (MDM) technique employing Hermite‐Gaussian (HG10 and HG20) modes are used to enhance the channel capacity at bidirectional 80 Gbps traffic rate. By utilizing polarization mode dispersion (PMD) emulator, this proposed system is promising since it offers good tolerance ability of anti‐PMD, anti‐dispersion, suppression of nonlinear effects and high spectrum effectiveness at high‐speed transmission. Impressively, faithful 600 and 590 m range is obtained at HG10 and HG20 modes respectively, with clear eye patterns at bit error rate of 10−9 for 1596–1598.4 nm in downlink. In uplink, faithful 600 and 530–600 m distance is achieved for 1524–1526.4 nm at HG10 and HG20 respectively. For variable laser temperature, maximum tolerable temperature of 20°C for both modes in downlink and 20°C at HG10 as well as 14C at HG20 is observed in uplink, over 600 m range. Besides, the proposed design undergoes ∼1e‐30 at HG10 and ∼1e‐35 at HG20 coupling coefficients for linearly polarized (LP[0,1] to LP[−4,3]) modes. It is also analyzed that maximum 3.99 dB gain and 84.58 dB optical signal‐to‐noise ratio is obtained for the proposed scheme. This design does not suffer from shot, thermal and phase noise and offers optimum performance than existing systems.

Gender Minority Physician Assistant/Associate Applicants and Likelihood of Matriculation: A Retrospective Analysis.

Gender minorities are undermeasured among physician assistant/associate programs and across the profession. This study describes the 2020 to 2021 Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants self-identified gender minority applicant pool, examining whether gender minority status is associated with matriculation. A retrospective cohort of 2020 to 2021 admission cycle participants (n = 30,123) was described and evaluated for associations between self-identified gender minority status and likelihood of program matriculation using logistic regression. Models were controlled for important potential confounders, including total undergraduate grade point average, race/ethnicity, hours of patient experience, and age. Of the 30,123 total applicants, 0.21% (n = 63) self-identified as a gender minority. Total matriculation was 27.64% (n = 8325) compared with gender minority matriculation of 20.63% (n = 13). Gender minority status was associated with a nonsignificant lower likelihood of matriculation (odds ratio [OR] = 0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.37-1.25). Fully adjusted models were unchanged controlling for academic achievement, patient care experience, age, and race/ethnicity (OR = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.51-1.35). These findings suggest that gender minority applicants have a similar likelihood of matriculation in physician assistant/associate programs as compared with non-gender minority applicants. Low prevalence of self-identified gender minority status could indicate reluctance to self-identify and is concerningly lower than population prevalence.

Optimization algorithm of power system line loss management using big data analytics

As global energy demand continues to rise and renewable energy sources develop rapidly, the operational efficiency and stability of power systems have emerged as primary challenges in energy management. Line loss within these systems is a critical factor for both energy efficiency and economic performance. This study leverages an electric energy data management platform that facilitates the sharing of archival information, the development of line loss calculation models, and the automated computation of electricity and line loss formulas. This ensures accurate and real-time calculations of line losses in the power grid, supporting multi-time scale analyses and providing timely, comprehensive data for effective line loss management. The platform utilizes theoretical line loss values to identify anomalies, which are categorized into five types: topological relationships, archival information, data collection, electricity metering, and consumption behavior. In response to the abnormal monthly power imbalance rate of 220 kV and 110 KV stations, and the − 3.684% exceeding the − 1% assessment limit, the designed line loss management system service layer does not need to go deep into the bottom layer of the power system. It hides the complexity of the power grid through middleware and provides data, application, and security services.

The Impact and Sources of Radio Frequency Interference on GNSS Signals

AbstractThe utilization of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) services in both military and civilian applications as well as for scientific investigation has grown exponentially. However, the increasing reliance on GNSS applications has raised concerns about potential risks from intentional radio frequency interference (RFI) transmitters. RFI significantly affects GNSS's environmental monitoring capabilities by inflating the scintillation index and misleading the scientific community with scintillation indices not attributable to ionospheric dynamic events. Consequently, the existing climatological distribution of GNSS scintillations may require careful reevaluation, as it may not adequately filter out RFI induced scintillations. Thus, characterizing the global RFI occurrence regions and developing real‐time detection capabilities to mitigate its effects is critically important. Leveraging GNSS measurements from ground stations and six COSMIC‐2 satellite constellations, we have developed a technique to detect RFI events and identify RFI active regions. Additionally, for the first time, we have implemented techniques that differentiate RFI associated scintillations from scintillations caused by ionospheric turbulence.

Application Discrepancies in the 2023-2024 Integrated Plastic Surgery Match.

The Plastic Surgery Common Application (PSCA) was introduced in the 2020-2021 integrated plastic surgery match cycle. We investigated the accuracy of medical student-reported quantitative metrics in the PSCA. Quantifiable data from 1 year of PSCA applications were compared between matched and unmatched students. Discrepancies were identified by reviewing publicly available data and from Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) applications. A total of 330 PSCAs were analyzed and divided into two groups: matched (n = 196) and unmatched (n = 134). Of the 71 medical schools with multiple applicants, 23.9% (17/71) and 31.0% (22/71) had contradicting reports of Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honor Society availability. Three matched applicants, with an average numeric Step 1 score of 228, reported scores as "pass." Four applicants did not disclose a prior failing Step 1 score. More matched students had research discrepancies than unmatched students for first author (56%, 111/196; 50%, 67/132; P = 0.24) and total publications (66.8%, 131/196; 53%, 71/134; P = 0.011). The mean discrepancy number between matched and unmatched students was similar for first author (3.0 vs 3.2, P = 0.61) and total publications (4.3 vs 4.5, P = 0.61). Reasons for discrepancies included counting accepted articles (20.2%), submitted articles (7.5%), non-peer reviewed (3.1%) articles, and other endeavors (6.2%) in publication counts, with 52% of applicants having multiple reasons for discrepancies. Matched and unmatched applicants applying to plastic surgery had honor society and Step 1 score discrepancies, and inaccurate research reporting. NBME score verification and PubMed indexing may be a warranted addition to PSCA applications to guarantee application consistency.

Unveiling the gaps: Assessing LGBTQIA+ inclusivity on emergency medicine residency websites-An analysis of pronoun usage, diversity pages, and LGBTQIA+ sections.

Despite progress in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in medical education, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, and more (LGBTQIA+) individuals remain underrepresented and often face barriers to equitable advancement. Emergency medicine (EM) residency programs are instrumental in creating inclusive environments that attract diverse applicants and support LGBTQIA+ trainees. Since the COVID-19 pandemic's shift to virtual recruitment, residency websites have become vital tools for communicating DEI initiatives. This study examines LGBTQIA+ inclusivity on EM residency websites, focusing on the visibility of resident pronouns, diversity pages, and LGBTQIA+ subsections. We conducted a review of 282 EM residency program websites listed on the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) between August and October 2023. Websites were assessed for the presence of pronouns on resident biographies, dedicated diversity pages, and LGBTQIA+ content. Data were stratified by geographic region and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Among the websites reviewed, 4.3% displayed resident pronouns, 31.2% had dedicated diversity pages, and 3.9% included LGBTQIA+ subsections. The Midwest region had the highest proportion of programs featuring resident pronouns (5/70), while the West region led in diversity pages (14/32) and LGBTQIA+ content (4/32). The limited visibility of LGBTQIA+ content and pronouns across EM residency websites suggests an underutilization of online platforms to promote inclusivity. With virtual recruitment now standard, these websites are critical for conveying program culture to prospective applicants. Displaying pronouns, DEI pages, and LGBTQIA+-specific content can foster a welcoming environment and signal support to diverse applicants. Programs in regions with stronger DEI representation could serve as models for others, sharing best practices in promoting inclusivity. Enhancing DEI visibility on EM residency websites may positively influence perceptions and engagement among LGBTQIA+ applicants, fostering more inclusive and equitable training environments that align with the needs of diverse trainees in emergency medicine.

Enhanced 3D Outdoor Positioning Method Based on Adaptive Kalman Filter and Kernel Density Estimation for 6G Wireless System

The implementation of accurate positioning methods in both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments has been emphasized for seamless 6G application services. In LOS environments with unobstructed paths between the transmitter and receiver, accurate tracking essential for seamless 6G services is achievable. However, accurate three-dimensional (3D) outdoor positioning has been challenging to achieve in NLOS environments where positioning accuracy may be severely degraded. In this paper, a novel 3D outdoor positioning method considering both LOS and NLOS environments is proposed. Considering the practical positioning systems, the data received from satellites often contain null values and outliers. Thus, a kernel density estimation (KDE)-based outlier removal method is used for effectively detecting the null values and outliers through temporal correlation analysis. A dilution of precision-based adaptive Kalman filter (DOP-AKF) is proposed to mitigate the effects of an NLOS environment. In the proposed method, the DOP-AKF can optimize the performance of the 3D positioning system that dynamically adapts to complex environments. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve 3D positioning accuracy by up to 18.84% compared to conventional methods. Therefore, the proposed approach can be suggested as a promising solution for 3D outdoor positioning in 6G wireless systems.

Joint Optimization Strategy of Task Migration and Power Allocation Based on Soft Actor-Critic in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Assisted Internet of Vehicles Environment

In recent years, the unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted internet of vehicles has been extensively studied to enhance communication and computation services in vehicular environments where ground infrastructures are limited or absent. However, due to the limited-service range and battery life of unmanned aerial vehicles, along with the high mobility of vehicles, an unmanned aerial vehicle cannot continuously cover and serve the same vehicle, leading to interruptions in vehicular application services. Therefore, this paper proposes a joint optimization strategy for task migration and power allocation based on soft actor-critic (JOTMAP-SAC). First, communication models, computational resource allocation models, and computation models are established sequentially based on the computational resource and dynamic coordinate of each node. The joint optimization problem of task migration and power allocation is then formulated. Considering the dynamic nature of the unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted internet of vehicles environment and the continuity of the action space, a soft actor-critic based algorithm for task migration and power allocation is designed. This algorithm iteratively finds the optimal solution to the joint optimization problem, thereby reducing the processing delay in unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted internet of vehicles and ensuring the continuity of internet of vehicles task processing.

SceneKG: A Geo‐Scene Based Spatiotemporal Knowledge Representation Framework Considering Geo‐Processes

ABSTRACTCurrent geographic knowledge graph research mainly focuses on static knowledge coupling through analysis of web text and maps, but its knowledge expression model fails to incorporate knowledge mechanisms such as process evolution and interactions. The geo‐scene is a synthesis of various geographic elements which prescribes spatial, temporal, semantic, attribute, and interrelationships. It has demonstrated its utility in facilitating geocomputation, spatiotemporal simulation and reasoning related to geo‐process. Therefore, developing a geo‐scene‐based knowledge graph is significant to improve the ability of spatiotemporal knowledge representation and service. In this study, we first analyze the basic characteristics of geo‐scenes and try to emphasize the evolution of geo‐scenes through redefining the ontologies ‘event’, ‘process’ and ‘state’. To describe the dynamic nested structure of geo‐scenes, we propose a geo‐scene knowledge representation framework, and illustrate the representation of a geo‐scene and its inner relationships. Moreover, to keep the integrity, interaction and dynamic of geo‐scenes, we develop a event‐process centered geo‐scene knowledge organization method. Furthermore, we have tested the utility of our proposed representation by the Beijing 731 heavy rainstorm. The case study represents heavy rainstorm to demonstrate the complicated structure of the disaster scene, and the support for precipitation process simulation, early warning information organization, and disaster situation information query. The proposed representation provides an idea for the construction of geo‐dynamic knowledge graphs, encodes both static and dynamic geographic knowledge, makes explicit the evolution and interaction knowledge in geo‐scenes, and expands the application service of geo‐scene knowledge graph in the era of GeoAI.
