Large-Time-Step-Based Ray-Tracing Modeling of Light Delivery in One-Sidedly Cladding-Removed Step-Index Plastic Optical Fiber under Arbitrary Weave Structure by Sun Hee Moon, In Hwan Sul

“…Particularly, half side of a cladding layer in the radial direction was selectively removed to enhance one-sided fabric light scattering. The cladding-removed plastic optical fiber was adopted in a textile weave structure, and its light scattering was measured quantitatively by varying the removal length, fiber curvature, and fabric weave patterns. …”

Quasi-Classical Gravity Effect on Neutrino Oscillations in a Gravitational Field of a Heavy Astrophysical Object by Jonathan Miller, Roman Pasechnik

“…We demonstrate that such an essentially quantum gravity effect may have strong consequences for neutrino oscillation phenomena in astrophysics due to relatively large scattering cross sections of relativistic neutrinos undergoing large angle radiation of energetic gravitons in gravitational field of a classical massive source (i.e., the quasi-classical case of gravitational Bethe-Heitler scattering). …”

Analysis of Static Narrowband On-Body Channel Polarization Distribution at 2.4 GHz by Lingfeng Liu, Peng Zhang, Xiaonan Wang, Xiaoyan Zhang, Nan Jiang

“…The polarization of on-body propagation channels has shown significant spatial selectivity and full-space distribution in numerous measurements due to the near-field characteristics and strong body scattering effect. To get a comprehensive image of such polarization distribution, in this work, we measured polarized on-body channels on static body at 2.4 GHz by monopole antennas, where standing and sitting postures are included. …”
