Summary: This paper proposes a new DC-PAM-OFDM method to improve the spectral efficiency of visible light communication (VLC) systems. Compared to traditional methods, this method does not use Hermitian symmetry and can achieve a 100% increase in spectral efficiency. It is also more energy efficient compared to PAM-DMT and has better bit error rate performance and lower peak-to-average power ratio under the same spectral efficiency conditions.

Summary: This study investigates the key determinants of food grain yield in India, focusing on the impacts of climate change and agricultural subsidy. The results indicate that rainfall has a positive impact on grain yield, while temperature and carbon emissions have a negative effect. Non-climatic factors such as capital formation and fertilizer usage also contribute positively to grain yield, while crop area, agricultural subsidy, and employment have negative effects. The findings suggest the importance of technological innovation and precision agriculture in increasing agriculture production and productivity, as well as the need for policies addressing climate change and promoting eco-friendly renewable energy.

Summary: In this study, the detailed properties of the rare-Earth based XMn2Si2 (X=Dy, Er) compounds were investigated using the FP-LAPW method with GGA+U in the ferromagnetic phase. The results show that the ferromagnetic phase is the most suitable for these compounds, as supported by previous experimental findings. The compounds exhibit metallic behavior with hybridization between the Dy/Er-f and Mn-d states in the valence band and the Si-p state in the conduction band. The rare-Earth based DyMn2Si2 compound shows stronger ferromagnetic behavior patterns compared to ErMn2Si2. Additionally, ErMn2Si2 demonstrates high ZT values in the high-temperature region, making it a potential contender for high-temperature applications in waste heat management.
