Staunch the Age Related Decline into Dementia, Cancer, Autoimmunity (Long Covid), Obesity, and Other Diseases with a Prebiotic, Probiotic, Postbiotic Triple Play

“All diseases originate in the gut.” Hippocrates (400 BC) A healthy gut microbiome via the gut-brain-axis elevates heart rate variability (HRV), a general measure of health and well-being. A dysbiotic gut microbiome, low in biodiversity and butyrate producers, can alter tryptophan metabolism (ATM) and increase the kynurenine to tryptophan ratio (KTR) with release of proinflammatory cytokines, predominantly TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. These also characterize chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and a multitude of diseases. Also proposed is the gut-lung dysbiosis concept and consequent degradation of ACE2 (richest in lungs and gut). Leaky gut (and lung) induced autoantibodies (AAs) related to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in combination with increased Ang II further potentiate oxidative stress. The underappreciated pathogenic role of these receptors on invading Candida hyphae is explored. The efficacy of fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) in treating dementia, cancer, and autoimmunity supports the plausibility of success with “FMT-lite”. This triple play of prebiotic (d-mannose), probiotic (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli), and postbiotic (butyrate) might improve intestinal barrier integrity, oppose entry of GPCR antigens (epitopes), suppress the inflammatory cytokine triad, balance IFN-γ and TGF-β, suppress oxidative stress, depress KTR, elevate HRV, and extend lifespan and its quality.

تأثير ثلاث خطط مختلفة على المرحلة الثانية من الشبكات الضوئية في الجيل القادم

Abstract: In this work, a simulative analysis of 40 Gb/s downstream time and wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (TWDM-PON) for next-generation passive optical network second stage (NG-PON2) had been designed and demonstrated. The performance of three different wavelength plans in TWDM-PON are evaluated as the solution to NG-PON2 to support 40Gbit/s bandwidth requirement. A four 10-Gb/s TWDM-PON signals are stacked using four different wavelengths in the downstream direction and externally modulated. The system performance is observed using Bit Error Rate (BER) and Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) with respect to the design parameters such as distance, number of users and received optical power. Thus, the proposed system was able to support 512 number of users and 80 km transmission distance. When the system is tested upon transmission of triple play services over 80km distance with 512 users, it is shown that BER of 8.9 × 10-10, 3.9 × 10-9 and 1.3 × 10-4 are achieved for data, voice and video, respectively.

Triple Play of Band Gap, Interband, and Plasmonic Excitations for Enhanced Catalytic Activity in Pd/HxMoO3 Nanoparticles in the Visible Region.

Plasmonic photocatalysis has been limited by the high cost and scalability of plasmonic materials, such as Ag and Au. By focusing on earth-abundant photocatalyst/plasmonic materials (HxMoO3) and Pd as a catalyst, we addressed these challenges by developing a solventless mechanochemical synthesis of Pd/HxMoO3 and optimizing photocatalytic activities in the visible range. We investigated the effect of HxMoO3 band gap excitation (at 427 nm), Pd interband transitions (at 427 nm), and HxMoO3 localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excitation (at 640 nm) over photocatalytic activities toward the hydrogen evolution and phenylacetylene hydrogenation as model reactions. Although both excitation wavelengths led to comparable photoenhancements, a 110% increase was achieved under dual excitation conditions (427 + 640 nm). This was assigned to a synergistic effect of optical excitations that optimized the generation of energetic electrons at the catalytic sites. These results are important for the development of visible-light photocatalysts based on earth-abundant components.

Does industrial convergence mitigate CO2 emissions in China? A quasi-natural experiment on “Triple Play” Reform

As a crucial aspect of industrial development, the influence of industrial convergence on the environment cannot be ignored. This paper uses the “Triple Play” Reform (TPR) policy as a representative case of industrial convergence for constructing a quasi-natural experimental analysis framework. Using panel data from 285 Chinese cities from 2004 to 2016, we examine the influence of the industrial convergence policy on per capita CO2 emissions using a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) model. The results indicate that the TPR reduces CO2 emissions in China. Furthermore, the TPR policy indirectly decreases per capita CO2 emissions through industrial structure upgrading and the promotion of green technology innovation. Most importantly, the carbon emission-reduction effect of TPR is heterogeneous according to geographical differences, resource endowment, and city size. The research findings contribute to filling a gap in the literature by demonstrating how industrial convergence policies can mitigate CO2 emissions in China and offer valuable insights for future industrial convergence practices and emission reduction strategies in China.

Centralized Monitoring for Huge FTTH Network using Code Grating

The Covid-19 has impacted the demand in broadband communication specifically in Fiber to the Home (FTTH). The increase in the demand caused the increase in the number of users in Triple play service during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. Consequently, the high volume of user has slowed down the internet speed and connectivity. In addition, there is no effective monitoring system to monitor the network health from user end. This study was conducted to design a PON Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network which can serve thousands of users by increasing the capacity of the network and at the same time the network operator will be able to monitor any faulty branch(s) at the user end. By upgrading the new component in PON FTTH such as SOA, AWG and Demultiplexer, the network is able to support up to 30 000 users and also able to monitor fault user branches in FTTH network by using code FBG.

The Cheap Seats: A Note from the Editor

The Cheap SeatsA Note from the Editor Willie Steele I originally started writing this introduction to the journal on my flight back to Nashville from Phoenix, where we’d just wrapped up the twenty-ninth annual NINE Spring Training Conference in early March 2022. After a year of Zoom presentations, we were back in person for the conference, comprised of three days of presentations on all things baseball. It began with an opening night session showcasing two amazing artists who shared their insights on baseball and visual arts: illustrator and author Anika Orrock and photographer Jean Fruth. Three nights later we closed out the conference, as we usually do, with SABR presenting the Seymour Medal to the best book of baseball history or biography from the previous year. This year the prize went to Steve Treder for his terrific biography on former Giants owner Horace Stoneham. Thanks to a commissioner who seems to care very little for the game he oversees, there were no spring training games to attend in Phoenix. Quite frankly the lockout seemed as though it might last well into the season, as the first week’s games had already been postponed. And with the minor leaguers not yet playing, there were none of those games to attend either. Even the local college teams, Arizona State and Grand Canyon University, were out of town. Some of us began to wonder if the baseball gods were against us after all. But determined to see some type of live game, a small group of us grabbed a box of grilled hot dogs and attended a game between Paradise Valley Community College and Mesa Community College. As it turns out, Rob Manfred wasn’t going to ruin the week after all. Shortly after I returned home, Major League Baseball (MLB) announced an agreement with the players had been struck, and they would be reporting to spring training in a matter of days. Almost immediately people on social media and the talking heads on sports talk shows began saying, “Baseball’s back,” as though MLB was the only option available for fans. The funny thing is, in the preceding weeks, there had already been an increase in people who [End Page ix] began posting about attending their first college games. Some in our group at the conference watched their first, and hopefully not last, juco game. Others were excited about the upcoming high school season, which was now just two weeks away. After the past two years, a time in which much of the world was dealing with COVID-19, this year’s conference was a welcome reminder that baseball can serve as a pretty good distraction from things like a pandemic, political unrest, social strife, and economic uncertainty. No, baseball doesn’t fix any of these things, nor is it as important, but it gives us something to watch, enjoy, discuss, and even argue over while everything else in the world can seem to be upside down. Putting together this collection, the first single issue after a long run of double issues, has been interesting. The pieces you hold in this collection represent much of what we love about the game. The game has inspired writers and artists almost since the first pitch was thrown at the first game. You will see this in the poems from Earl J. Wilcox, Rick Burton, and Aaron Belz. More than anything, the game is interesting because of the people who play it. The pieces in the “Triple Play” section are filled with stories about and tributes to the players who have made this game have such a rich history, including a team you’ve probably never heard of from a small town in New York and well-known names like Ted Williams and Bill Lee. And the scholarly, research-based pieces never cease to amaze me with both their variety and their substance. David Krell’s piece on Danny Kaye sent me into the black hole of YouTube, for far longer than I will admit, as I looked for interviews with the former Mariners owner. Joseph Eaton’s work on the Ladies’ Day promotions at Wrigley Field gives a glimpse into the...

Performance evaluation of free space optics communication system in the scenario of triple play service using probabilistic shaping scheme

An advanced triple-play-services (TPS) system based on probabilistic shaping (PS) scheme for free- space-optical (FSO) communication network is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. In this paper, the PS-32-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) 10 Gb/s data, PS-32-QAM 10 Gb/s voice and PS based 2.5 Gb/s HDTV signal are successfully transmitted over 600-m FSO link employing doublet lens scheme. The PS and polarization multiplexing technique both are helped to upgrade the spectral efficiency and improve the system performance. Normalized-generalized-mutual-information (NGMI) threshold is 0.92 at FEC code rate 9/10 for voice/data and 0.82 at FEC code rate 4/5 for video signal are selected to successfully execute the experiment. The spectral efficiency of our system is achieved by calculating the NGMI and shaping parameter (α), 13.6 bits/s/Hz (voice and data) and 10.41 bits/s/Hz (video) spectral efficiency are obtained at maximum α. Experimental results prove that PS based FSO communication system provides flexible data rate and greater spectrum efficiency and also be a powerful candidate to alleviate pressure on modern optical transport system.

A comprehensive study on radio over fiber systems: present evaluations and future challenges

Abstract In order to serve the explosive demands of triple play services or multimedia services with high quality of data transmission in Fifth Generation (5G) communication systems which has availability of large spectrum unlike Fourth Generation (4G), low latency, improved transmission, and increased reliability, an access networks with optical fiber distribution network and wireless enabled technology is urgently needed and therefore, a prominent technology known as Radio over Fiber (RoF) is suggested by researcher/Scientists due to a perfect blend of flexible fiber technology and wireless mobility. RoF technology is helping the data transmission systems from last thirty years with great success and has numerous advantages such as scalability, transparency, antenna site complexity reduction, low installation cost, accessibility of radio carrier by diverse antenna sites dynamically. Millimeter waves (Mm waves) integration in 5G wireless RoF systems comes out to be an encouraging candidate to cater the bandwidth hungry current as well as future generation internet application such as high definition TV (HDTV), online games, video conferencing, and voice over IP (VoIP) etc. For the prolonged reach, economical installations, and improved performance, optimal Mm wave generation methods should be incorporated in 5G such as employing multi carrier generation technique (MCG). Deployment of single mode fiber (SMF) in 5G offers high speed, large capacity, improved security, etc., but also has a prominent limitation of nonlinear effects and it is unwanted phenomenon which degrade the system performance by introducing intermodulation distortion, distortion of signal phase, harmonic distortion, and interference in the neighbouring channels. Minimum modifications of architecture and minimum cost should be spent on the compensation of nonlinear effects or Kerr’s effects in RoF systems and recently mode division multiplexing has emerged as an ultimate solution. In this review article, detailed discussion of an evolutionary technology, i.e., RoF is presented with a literature review, present evaluations, and future challenges. Our utmost goal is to enrich the young researchers with precious aspects for RoF technology on single platform and also encourage them to conduct the technology advancement research works in various fields such as nonlinear compensation, Mm wave generation, dispersion compensation, cost reduction, complexity reduction, and security enhancements for 5G RoF systems.

Perancangan Jaringan Fiber To The Home (FTTH) PT. Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk Witel Makassar di Desa Bontomanai Bulukumba

Fibre Optics is a delivery medium to connect network points to multipoint. FTTH is a service provided to customers to meet internet needs in terms of voice, data and video (triple play) services. PT. Telkom has standards for determining network eligibility, namely Power Link Budget and Rise Time Budget. With a case study in Bontomanai Village, Bulukumba, it is possible to simulate the design of the FTTH network to measure BER (Bit Error Rate) for system performance. From the results of network design calculations that the Power Link Budget, one of which is the attenuation from STO to the customer, is 25.65 dB, where this value is still feasible because it is still in the standard range of PT. Telkom is 13 – 28 dB. The Rise Time Budget parameter obtained based on the analysis is 0.262 ns which has not yet crossed the NRZ degradation limit of 0.28 ns. Simulations have been carried out using Optisystem software to measure BER

Quantifying the impacts of industrial convergence on air pollution: a quasi-experimental analysis of evidence from China's "Triple Play" reform.

Industrial structure change is an important cause of air pollution in China. Regarding the "Triple Play" reform (TPR) led by the Chinese government as a quasi-natural experiment of industrial convergence, this study constructs an analysis framework for the impact of industrial convergence on air pollution. Based on panel data at the Chinese city level from 2004 to 2016, this paper empirically examines the impact of industrial convergence on air pollution by using a difference-in-difference model, the propensity score matching method, and a mediation model. The results show that (1) the TPR significantly alleviates air pollution of cities; (2) the TPR reduces air pollution by improving green technological innovation and industrial structural upgrading; (3) the TPR significantly reduces air pollutants in the southern, coastal, non-resource-based cities and cities with higher technological absorption capacity, but its impact in the northern, inland, resource-based cities and cities with lower technological absorption capacity is not remarkable. This research provides feasible suggestions for the government to promote industrial convergence through deregulation policies and then reduce air pollution.

WORKSHOP AUDIO RECORDING SYSTEM PADA SEKAWAN TRAINING CENTER

Data, Voice / Voice and Video are basic needs for information for people in the digital era. This is based on the trend of triple play technology, which is a technology trend that accommodates three services that are presented in a customer service. The development of meeting the basic needs of the digital community cannot be separated from the development of the infrastructure that can be passed. This should be the basis for understanding the digital community that, in meeting the basic need for information, there is always a new technique being born. And the birth of this new technology can change a paradigm and even be disruptive.
 Voice as a need for digital society cannot be separated from the use of communication technology. Communication that is shared by users who interact with each other, that is, interact and communicate with each other.
 Sekawan Trining Center is an institution that is very interested in the use of techniques in supporting organizational operations wherever they are located. Although the technique is developing rapidly, this is also accompanied by an increase in the costs that must be incurred in its implementation. For this reason, the utilization of existing techniques can be maximized to reduce costs that may arise.
 There are also technology platforms that use analog communication media to enable systems that can be used to connect with technologies that can be used to access digital data. The solution that can be applied to overcome this is an Audio Recording System.
