Recent studies on modern wireless communication systems are focusing on Massive Multiple- Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology for its high potential. MIMO systems require high resolution Analog-to- Digital Converters (ADCs) in the Base Stations (BS) to reduce quantization noise. However, using high resolution ADCs causes higher power consumption at the BS and the hardware costs increase. Reducing the resolution of the ADCs at the BS causes severe non-linearity errors due to additional quantization noise. In other words, MIMO systems cannot achieve high performance without highly linear and low resolution ADCs. In this paper, a 3-bit highly linear Time- based ADC (T-ADC) is presented. The proposed circuit exhibits high linearity, simple design and low power which make it the best solution for the problems that limit the performance of the MIMO systems. The proposed ADC exhibits a linearity error of 0.56 % with a dynamic range equals to 800 mV and at small power consumption of 2.2 mW. The supply voltage used equals to 1.2 V using industrial 65 nm TSMC CMOS technology. The clock frequency equals to 4 GHz at a maximum input frequency of 2 GHz.
Electric consumption prediction methods are investigated for many reasons such as decision-making related to energy efficiency as well as for anticipating demand in the energy market dynamics. The objective of the pre...

We explore nonequilibrium quantum heat transport in nonlinear bosonic systems in the presence of a non-Kerr-type interaction governed by hyperparametric oscillation due to two-photon hopping between the two cavities. We estimate the thermodynamic response analytically by constructing the su(2) algebra of the nonlinear Hamiltonian and predict that the system exhibits a negative excitation mode. Consequently, this specific form of interaction enables the cooling of the system by inducing a ground-state transition when the number of particles increases, even though the interaction strength is small. We demonstrate a transition of the heat current numerically in the presence of symmetric coupling between the system and the bath and show long relaxation times in the cooling phase. We compare with the Kerr-type Bose-Hubbard form of interaction induced via cross-phase modulation, which does not exhibit any such transition. We further compute the nonequilibrium heat current in the presence of two baths at different temperatures and observe that the cooling effect for the non-Kerr-type interaction persists. Our findings may help in the manipulation of quantum states using the system's interactions to induce cooling.

A growing number of machine learning (ML) projects in manufacturing require the collaboration of various experts. In addition to data scientists, stakeholders with production engineering knowledge have to specify and prioritize individual project tasks. Data engineers prepare input data, while machine learning operations (MLOps) engineers ensure that trained models are deployed and monitored within IT landscapes. Existing project management approaches, e.g., Scrum, have problems for ML projects, as they do not consider various expert roles or ML project stages. We propose a project management approach defining a Kanban workflow by readjusting stages of ML development lifecycles, e.g., CRISP DM. This makes it possible to map expert roles to stages of the Kanban workflow. An adapted Kanban board allows visualizing and reviewing the status of all project tasks. We validate our approach with specific use cases, showing that it facilitates ML project management in manufacturing.

This study investigated the incorporation of Amaranthus viridis (AV) extract into films composed of rice starch (RS) and nanocellulose (CNF) at concentrations of 5 %, 7.5 %, and 10 %, aiming to evaluate the effects on physicochemical, mechanical, and antioxidant properties. The addition of AV increased the films' structural density, especially at 10 %, which showed a compact surface with no visible pores and characteristic specks related to mineral salt crystallization (calcium, iron, magnesium) interacting with oxalates to form insoluble complexes. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed interactions between extract compounds and the polymer matrix. Thermal stability improved with more extract, with degradation peaks reaching 420 °C at 10 % AV. Water solubility increased from 28 % (RS + CNF) to 37 % (10 % AV), while water holding capacity decreased from 42 % to 26 %. Film thickness decreased from 80 μm to 50 μm. Regarding mechanical properties, tensile strength rose to 6.5 MPa at 5 % AV, and elongation at break reached 145 % with 10 % AV, indicating increased flexibility. Antioxidant activity improved with higher AV levels, with the 10 % film presenting the best performance: FRAP (499.10 μg/mL), phosphomolybdenum method (372.42 mg AAE/g), ABTS (26.52 % RSA), and DPPH IC₅₀ (27.42 μg/mL). All formulations exhibited biodegradability, with mass loss above 80 % after 15 days of soil exposure. In conclusion, the incorporation of Amaranthus viridis extract, particularly at 10 %, enhanced the films' structural, mechanical, and antioxidant properties, confirming its potential for use in active and biodegradable packaging.

Microbial spoilage in milk is a crucial concern for healthy consumption. This study aims to apply the electronic nose system (e-nose) comprising an array of different gas sensors as an initial tool for monitoring of food spoilage for maintaining food safety and human health. In this system, nanocomposite gas sensors based on different polymers and functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (f-SWCNTs) are employed. By exposure of these gas sensors to the milk's headspace, the gas sensors show responsive signals toward volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contained in the milk. The pasteurized milks under two storage conditions, at 4°C (±1°C) and 25°C (± 1°C), were used to observe development of spoilage for 9 days. To consider the capability of electronic nose for freshness and milk spoilage detection, the odor pattern was analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA). The ability of each sensor to detect the intensity of the odor level was observed by tracking the change of sensing responses. The discrimination results have shown that the odor levels of samples stored at 4°C are not different from the first day to the ninth day, whereas the odor levels of samples stored at room temperature condition are increasing upon the storage time. The exploration in this work can thus provide information about the application of electronic nose with nanocomposite gas sensor array as a beneficial tool for monitoring the food spoilage and quality control.
