Summary: In this paper, a novel technique for estimating polarization-dependent loss (PDL) of reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) in a terrestrial optical network is proposed. The technique monitors the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distribution induced by PDL and infers the corresponding PDL values through linear regression. The method relies on mean and variance of SNR distribution, which can be collected and sent to a central controller. Experimental results show that the proposed technique accurately predicts PDL for ROADMs, reducing the network SNR margins.

Summary: Terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) is a critical component of the land surface and accurate estimation of ET is crucial for understanding global water and energy budgets. Current ET estimation models rely on remotely sensed data, but uncertainty remains in representing ecological factors. This study proposes a model that combines solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) and meteorological variables, validated across different flux stations globally, showing good performance and potential for global scale ET estimation.

Summary: Assessing the extent of permafrost is crucial for understanding the impact of climate change on Arctic ecosystems. This study proposes a new method that combines temperature and electrical resistivity measurements to estimate the distribution of permafrost. The results show that certain vegetation and slope characteristics are associated with warmer and smaller permafrost bodies, as well as a higher occurrence of taliks.

Summary: This paper proposes a secure DAD mechanism P4DAD based on P4, which can filter spoofed NDP messages in-network to prevent DoS attacks on DAD without modifying the NDP or host stack. Evaluation of the P4DAD prototype shows successful prevention of DoS attacks on DAD with negligible overhead and satisfactory scalability.

Summary: The study investigated the use of a single milk flow meter to estimate milk yield for individual cows based on total milk flow in a dairy milking system. Results showed that the technology provided comparable estimates to traditional herd testing, demonstrating the feasibility of the single flow meter technology for estimating lactation milk yield and milk electrical conductivity for individual cows.

Summary: This paper explores the use of multiple robots equipped with location sensors to sample dynamic boundaries, combining Fourier series and polynomial fitting for shape estimation and point tracking. The strategy is validated through simulations and experiments, testing on non-convex boundaries with noisy measurements and inaccurate motion actuators.

Summary: This study presents a novel approach to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands tailings ponds and open-pit mines using the GreenLITE(TM) gas concentration measurement system and an inverse dispersion model. The methane emissions from the tailings pond were estimated to be around 7.2 metric tons per day, while the emissions from the open-pit mine were estimated to be approximately 24.6 metric tons per day.

Summary: This study estimated the seasonal water storage variation of 463 lakes and reservoirs worldwide, finding that North American and African basins have relatively large seasonal water storage changes globally. The latitudinal zonality of LWSsc is significant, concentrated between 30 degrees N and 60 degrees N in the northern hemisphere and between the equator and 30 degrees S in the southern hemisphere.

Summary: Bayesian inference and ultrasonic velocity were used to estimate the self-association concentration of asphaltenes in toluene, revealing that a lower abundance of longer side-chains can lead to earlier self-association of asphaltenes.

Summary: A method utilizing Forster resonance energy transfer was developed to measure positional changes of biomolecules in plasma membranes, showing promise in studying membrane dynamics. This technique has been successfully applied to monitor the movement of lipids and the behavior of host defense peptides in live cells. Further applications include investigating protein dynamics at cytosolic leaflets of plasma membranes, providing insights into fundamental cellular processes.

Summary: Understanding rock mechanical properties is important, but comprehensive testing is often impractical. Therefore, we evaluated microrebound measurement as an alternative method. Our analysis showed a strong relationship between microrebound and properties such as unconfined compressive strength, tensile strength, and cohesion.

Summary: This study demonstrates a high degree of consistency among different TOA carbon analyzer models in total carbon, organic carbon, and elemental carbon, but significant discrepancies in thermal subfractions of OC and EC. Optical charring correction plays a critical role in aligning OC and EC measurements across different TOA analyzer models. Further investigations are recommended to focus on inter-model differences in OC and EC subfractions and to evaluate model performance based on within- and inter-model uncertainties.
