\Probabilistic-shaped quadrature amplitude modulation (PS-QAM) based on Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distribution has been extensively studied in recent years in the SNR limited coherent communication system to approach the Shannon capacity. However, MB distribution is not the optimal distribution when the transmission system suffers from serious laser phase noise. To improve the laser phase noise tolerance of MB distribution, a novel Maxwell-Boltzmann/Angular-distance-directed (MB/ADD) distribution is proposed in this article. The benefits of PS-QAM exist in the case of limited SNR, as well as large laser phase noise. The proposed distribution is verified through simulations and experiments. In our simulation analysis, the ADD part enables the reduction of SNR penalty when laser phase noise increases. The results are validated by experimental data, in which both digitally generated and distributed-feed-back (DFB) laser generated phase noise are employed to evaluate laser phase noise tolerance. In the scenario of large phase noise, MB/ADD shaping can achieve lower pre-FEC BER and higher GMI compared withMB shaping, without inserting pilot symbols. Moreover, the improvement of applying MB/ADD distribution can be obtained nomatter whether BPS or V&V based algorithm is adopted for carrier phase estimation (CPE). Different shaping parameters are also tested, where the capability to agilely adapt to various channel conditions of the MB/ADD distribution is shown. And the proposed MB/ADD shaping can be applied with similar complexity with MB shaping, if the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the generated and the expected 2-D QAM distribution is required to be lower than 10(-3).

In the present study, ZnFe2O4@methyl cellulose (MC) nano-biomagnetic photocatalyst was rapidly prepared based on a microwave-assisted method. FTIR, FESEM, EDS, UV-DRS, XRD, and VSM were performed to characterize the structure of as-prepared ZnFe2O4@MC. The removal efficiency of Metronidazole (MNZ) degradation was 92.65% and 71.12% in synthetic and real samples under optimal conditions, respectively. The removal efficiency of TOC was also reported to be 77.87% under optimal conditions. The kinetic linear models showed that the photocatalytic degradation of MNZ follows either a pseudo-first-order kinetic or the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The correlation coefficients (R-2) were 0.92, 0.97, 0.99, and 0.94, respectively at 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg/L. The equilibrium adsorption coefficient (KL-H) of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model and the superficial reaction rate constant (K-c) were 0.633 Lmg(-1) and 0.203 mg/L min(-1), respectively. The participation of active species such as holes and hydroxyl and superoxide radicals was studied during MNZ photodegradation with organic and inorganic radical scavengers. Finally, the nano-biomagnetic catalyst could be reused for six further runs without remarkable changes in catalytic efficiencies. In this study, we present a new magnetic nanocomposite and a novel strategy for antibiotic removal from aqueous media. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
