ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are critical drivers of ecosystem processes such as pest regulation and material cycling. However, their distribution patterns and the drivers influencing them along the elevational gradients remain unclear. This study investigated the diversity and distribution...

Water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is an important process linking gasification syngas upgrading to downstream synthesis of pure H2 or hydrogen-based fuels such as ammonia, methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The conventional WGS reaction is a long process that includes syngas cleaning and co...

The neural successive cancellation (NSC) decoder with tanh-based modified log-likelihood ratio (LLR) is proposed for reducing the decoding latency of polar codes over free space optical (FSO) turbulence channel. The conventional successive cancellation (SC) decoder is partitioned into multiple sub-b...
