Efficacy and Safety of Long-Term Universal Salt Iodization on Thyroid Disorders: Epidemiological Evidence from 31 Provinces of Mainland China

Abstract: Background: Mandatory universal salt iodization (USI) has been implemented in China for 20 years. Although iodine deficiency disorders are effectively controlled, the risk of excess iodine have bee...

Recent progress of using Brillouin distributed fiber optic sensors for geotechnical health monitoring

Abstract: Distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) have been attracted significant attention from geotechnical engineering communities for a few decades. Innovative development of structural design, encapsulation and implementation methods of optical fiber sensors leads to many new applications in geotechnical monitoring field. This paper presents a comprehensive review of Brillouin based DOFS for health monitoring of various geotechnical structures include geotextiles, soil nails, anchors, pipelines, piles, retaining walls, tunnels, and landslides. Recent application status of using two successful commercialized technologies including Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR) and Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA) for geotechnical health monitoring was reviewed and discussed in details. Particular emphasis was given to sensor design, encapsulation, and installation methods of DOFS in various successful geotechnical applications. Comparison analysis regarding typical advantages and limitations of different technologies (DOFS, fiber Bragg grating sensors, and conventional sensors) for geotechnical health monitoring was also presented and discussed in this paper.

Optimal trajectories for efficient atomic transport without final excitation

Abstract: We design optimal harmonic-trap trajectories to transport cold atoms without final excitation, combining an inverse engineering technique based on Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants with optimal control theory. Since actual traps are not really harmonic, we keep the relative displacement between the center of mass of the transport modes and the trap center bounded. Under this constraint, optimal protocols are found according to different physical criteria. The minimum time solution has a ``bang-bang'' form, and the minimum displacement solution is of ``bang-off-bang'' form. The optimal trajectories for minimizing the transient energy are also discussed.
