Performance Analyses of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing in Ring Metropolitan Area Networks With and Without Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier
This Paper investigates the performance of dense wa v length division multiplexing ring networks implemnted in the metropolitan areas for the purpose of deploy ing higher bit rates. The investigations were carri ed out in the Cband operating region by deploying four channels over a single standard mode fibre with channel spacing of 100GHz at 10Gbps. Transmissions of 108km and 7km with and without Erb ium Doped Fibre Amplifier (EDFA) were achieved with a 10 fixed value of Bit Error Rate (BER). The performanc e was measured through a bit rate analyser using an eye diagram.

This article provides an introduction to dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology and to DWDM communications systems. It presents a comprehensive exposure to WDM and DWDM, explains the major components in optical networks and discusses optical long-haul network functions and applications.
Role of the coronoid process in varus osteoarticular stability of the elbow.
The role of the coronoid process in varus osteoarticular stability of the elbow was investigated in 10 cadaveric elbows. Testing was performed at multiple flexion angles after incremental removal of the coronoid. At each flexion angle, removal of more than 50% of the coronoid produced a statistically significant decrease in the load resisting varus displacement compared with all lesser resection levels (P < .003). There was a trend for decreasing load after removal of 50% of the coronoid. The mean decrease in load across all flexion angles was 10.1%, 50.4%, and 75.4% after removal of 50%, 75%, and 100% of the coronoid, respectively. Resistance to varus displacement tended to decrease more as a percent of control at lower flexion angles than at higher flexion angles after removal of more than 50% of the coronoid. The coronoid process was found to be a key varus stabilizer in the elbow and may contribute more to elbow stability in extension than in flexion.
