Fenolik Bileşiklerin Bağlı Formları ve Biyoyararlılığı
Authors: KARABULUT Gülşah , YEMİŞ Oktay
Published: December 2019

Bu derleme kapsamında gıdaların yapısında bulunan bağlı (ekstrakte edilemeyen) fenolik bileşiklerin özellikleri, oluşturduğu komplekslerden protein-fenolik ve karbonhidrat-fenolik ilişkisi, sindirimdeki metabolizması ve biyoyararlılığı üzerinde durulmuştur. Gıdaların yapısındaki fenolik bileşikler organik solventlerin kullanıldığı klasik metotlar ile belirlenmektedir. Ancak ekstraksiyon kalıntısında kalan ve toplam fenolik bileşiklerin önemli bir kısmını oluşturan bağlı formları çoğunlukla göz ardı edilmektedir. Bu nedenle, özellikle bağlı fenolik madde içeriği yüksek olan gıdaların toplam fenolik madde içeriği, bağlı formaları dikkate alınmadığından geçmişte doğru şekilde ortaya koyulamamıştır. Meyve, sebze, tahıl ve baklagil ürünlerindeki toplam fenolik içeriğinin %20-60’ına karşılık gelen bağlı fenolik bileşikler, fenolik kompozisyonun belirlenmesinde artık dikkate alınmaktadır. Bağlı fenolikler hücre duvarındaki selüloz, pektin, protein gibi yapılara ester, eter veya asetal bağlarıyla kovalent olarak bağlanabilmektedirler. Fenolik bileşikler sahip oldukları aromatik halkalar ve hidroksil gruplarından dolayı hidrofobik ve hidrofilik interaksiyonlarla, hidrojen ve kovalent bağlarla hücre duvarına ve ortamdaki protein, karbonhidrat, lipit gibi yapılara bağlanabilme yeteneğine sahiptirler. Fenoliklerin makro moleküllerle etkileşiminde molekül ağırlığı, polimerizasyon derecesi, aromatik grupların sayısı gibi birçok etkili faktör bulunmaktadır. Oluşan bu kompleksin sağlık üzerine bir çok olumlu etkisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Gıdalardaki fenolik bileşiklerin biyoyararlılığı, sindirim veya bağırsak sisteminde gıda matriksinden salınımına, emilimine ve kan dolaşım sistemine geçişine bağlıdır. Özellikle bazı gıdalardaki polifenoller hücre duvarı yapısındaki protein, karbonhidrat, lipit gibi makromoleküllere bağlanarak mide-bağırsak sistemindeki biyoyararlılığı büyük ölçüde etkilemektedir. Hücre duvarı materyallerinin sindiriminin zor olması nedeniyle bağlı fenolik bileşikler mide-bağırsak sisteminde değişime uğramadan kolona ulaşabilmektedir.

Since 2002, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has revolutionized the treatment and prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis. A preprocedural assessment of the patient is vital for achieving optimal outcomes from the procedure. Retrospective ECG-gated cardiac computed tomography (CT) today it is the gold-standard imaging technique that provides three-dimensional images of the heart, thus allowing a rapid and complete evaluation of the morphology of the valve, ascending aorta, coronary arteries, peripheral access vessels, and prognostic factors, and also provides preprocedural coplanar fluoroscopic angle prediction to obtain complete assessment of the patient. The most relevant dimension in preprocedural planning of TAVI is the aortic annulus, which can determine the choice of prosthesis size. CT is also essential to identify patients with increased anatomical risk for coronary artery occlusion in Valve in Valve (ViV) procedures.

Moreover, CT is very useful in the evaluation of late complications, such as leakage, thrombosis and displacements. At present, CT is the cornerstone imaging modality for the extensive and thorough work-up required for planning and performing each TAVI procedure, to achieve optimal outcomes. Both the CT procedure and analysis should be performed by trained and experienced personnel, with a radiological background and a deep understanding of the TAVI procedure, in close collaboration with the implantation team. An accurate pre-TAVI CT and post-processing for the evaluation of all the points recommended in this review allow a complete planning for the choice of the valve dimensions and type (balloon or self-expandable) and of the best percutaneous access.
Bridging the gap between hypertrabeculation phenotype, noncompaction phenotype and left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy
Authors: Vergani Vittoria , Lazzeroni Davide , Peretto Giovanni
Published: December 2019

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is an increasingly recognised cardiomyopathy characterised by excessive trabeculation and deep intertrabecular recesses in direct communication with the left ventricular cavity. In LVNC, hypertrabeculation has been associated with heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, and systemic thromboembolism. However, hypertrabeculation alone is not sufficient to define a subject as at risk for such complications and thus should not be sufficient to diagnose LVNC. Despite several studies having investigated parameters to predict adverse cardiovascular events, physicians have no effective tools to differentiate between clinically silent hypertrabeculation and LVNC. The aim of this paper was to review literature on LVNC diagnostic criteria and to provide an easy and accessible diagnostic algorithm to distinguish between hypertrabeculation phenotype, non-compaction phenotype and LVNC cardiomyopathy.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate in vitro effects of triclosan coating of suture materials on the growth of clinically relevant bacteria isolated from wounds in dogs.

SAMPLE

6 types of suture material and 10 isolates each of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, methicillin-resistant S pseudintermedius, Escherichia coli, and AmpC β-lactamase and extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing E coli from clinical wound infections.

PROCEDURES

Isolates were cultured on Mueller-Hinton agar with 3 types of triclosan-coated suture, uncoated counterparts of the same suture types, and positive and negative controls. Zones of inhibition (ZOIs) were measured after overnight incubation. Sustained antimicrobial activity assays were performed with susceptible isolates. The ZOI measurements and durations of sustained antimicrobial activity were compared among suture types and isolates by statistical methods. Suture surface characteristics and bacterial adherence were evaluated qualitatively with scanning electron microscopy.

RESULTS

ZOIs were generated only by triclosan-coated materials; triclosan-coated suture had sustained antimicrobial activity (inhibition) for 3 to 29 days against all tested pathogens. The ZOIs around triclosan-coated suture were significantly greater for S pseudintermedius isolates than for E coli isolates. Bacterial adherence to uncoated polyglactin-910 was greatest, followed by triclosan-coated polyglactin-910, and then uncoated monofilament sutures, with least adherence to coated monofilament sutures.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Surface characteristics of suture materials may be as important or more important than triclosan coating for microbial inhibition; however, triclosan coating appeared to affect bacterial adherence for multifilament sutures. Triclosan-coated, particularly monofilament, sutures inhibited pathogens commonly isolated from wounds of dogs, including multidrug-resistant bacteria. Further studies are required to assess clinical efficacy of triclosan-coated suture materials in vivo.

Abstract
The purpose of the article is to present selected results of the conducted research on digital competence of young people: high school and university students. The preliminary results are to explain, what emotions accompany the implementation of activities requiring the use of digital skills. In the face of rapid technological changes, related to digitalization and widespread of ICT, still the emotional reactions within the human computer interactions (HCI) require in-depth analyses and empirical inquiries. The project realised in Media Research Laboratory University of Warsaw was supposed to provide answers to questions about the relationship between the pole of experienced emotions and the low or high professionalism of tasks in the virtual world. The article also attempts to take up the methodological reflection on the methods of measuring the scientific reaction of a humans being in communication within the cyber-world.
Impact of Achieved Tenure and Promotion on Faculty Research Productivity at a School of Pharmacy
Authors: Scott David , Kelsch Michael , Friesner Daniel
Published: December 2019

Objective: Critics of the promotion and tenure system contend that promotion and tenure may lead to a decline in research productivity (“dead wood phenomena”) by those faculty. To assess this perception, we compiled the publications and grants at the time of application for promotion, and again through 2017 for the same faculty following promotion and/or tenure.

Methods: Promotion documents at a school of pharmacy at a public Midwestern university were assessed. Mean publication rates and grant dollars per year per faculty member were compared to the same group of faculty (n=13) pre and post-promotion.

Results: At the time of promotion to associate professor, mean numbers of total publications per year per faculty in the pharmacy practice department were 1.1, compared to 1.4 post-promotion. For pharmaceutical sciences department faculty, corresponding means were 5.0 and 4.1, respectively. At the time of promotion to full professor, mean numbers of total publications per year for pharmacy practice faculty were 7.0, compared to 7.2 post-promotion. For pharmaceutical sciences faculty, corresponding means were 3.5 and 4.7, respectively. For grant activity, both associate professors and full professors increased the mean total dollars per year from pre-promotion to post-promotion for both departments.

Conclusion: Research productivity at this school of pharmacy continues to be either maintained or increased since promotion for the collective group of faculty. This evidence runs counter to the perception that promotion and tenure may lead to decreased scholarly productivity. The study provides a roadmap for other schools/colleges to quantify research productivity and make comparisons to national mean levels reported in the literature.

Authors: Nelson Harold S.
Published: December 2019

Background: Allergy immunotherapy (AIT), both subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), is an effective and safe treatment for allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma due to inhalant allergens. However, there are many variables in how it is administered.
Objective: To review the evidence that suggests the optimal practice(s) to minimize adverse reactions to AIT. Methods: Articles that reported the results of various approaches to the practice of AIT and evidence-based guidelines were consulted for guidance
about approaches that would minimize adverse reactions to AIT. Results: Evidence is presented that supports care in the preparation of allergy extracts for treatment; use of modified extracts; location for administration of SCIT and SLIT; risk factors for systemic reactions;
AIT in patients on adrenergic blocking agents and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; use of premedication; the need for prescription of epinephrine autoinjectors; adjustments in dose for pollen seasons, interruptions in treatment, and for local and systemic reactions; and the safety
in patients with autoimmune diseases and during pregnancy. Conclusion: Although some of these variables have not been adequately studied, there are many studies that indicate practices that minimize the risk of adverse reactions for both SCIT and SLIT.

In regenerative medicine, nanotechnology plays a vital role in the diagnosis, the delivery of therapeutic drugs and the treatment of many diseases and disorders. Due to the growing need to develop environmentally friendly technologies in material synthesis, the biosynthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (IOP) has received considerable attention over the past decades. Therefore, the community is now looking back for traditional medicines for various diseases after the practice of allopathic drugs with tremendous side effects. There are an increasing number of biomedical applications for iron oxide nanoparticles; as such uses are essential for in-vitro characterisation and in-vivo to ensure the bio-safety of these particles. The main complication of diabetes due to frequent lipid peroxidation is liver damage and renal dysfunction, but treatment with Leucas aspera has a pronounced effect on these indicators, which protects the organs from further damage. The current research supports the traditional use of Leucas aspera against diabetes mellitus and cancer, as well as the safety, effectiveness and potency of Leucas aspera leaf extract's anti-diabetic and anti-cancer effect in the in-vivo model. The overall results reveal that Leucas aspera has the potential and can be a candidate of choice without side effect.

This article is a distillation and extension of some of themes I presented as a lecture to the Canadian Society of Clinical Investigation meeting in Banff in 2019. I emphasize the important role that investigation of a few key families seen in our clinic (sometimes as few as one) can play in cancer genetic discovery. I present the work both thematically and chronologically, demonstrating how clinical observation, combined with laboratory work and extensive collaboration can lead to novel insights. I will focus on families possessing germline pathogenic variants in PALB2, DICER1, SMARCA4, FGFR1 and RAD51D as examples of how the process has been carried out in our group.

The integrated interventional radiology match: a bibliometric analysis of matched first-year residents
Authors: Chandra Vishnu , Jain Neil , Shukla Pratik , Wajswol Ethan , Contractor Sohail , Kumar Abhishek
Published: December 2019

Objectives:

The integrated interventional radiology (IR) residency has only been established relatively recently as compared to other specialties. Although some preliminary information is available based on survey data five, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis documenting the importance of the quantity and quality of research in applying to an integrated-IR program currently exists. As the first bibliometric analysis of matched IR residents, the data obtained from this study fills a gap in the literature.

Materials and Methods:

A list of matched residents from the 2018 integrated-IR match were identified by contacting program directors. The Scopus database was used to search for resident research information, including total publications, first-author publications, radiology-related publications, and h-indices. Each matriculating program was categorized into one of five tiers based on the average faculty Hirsch index (h-index).

Results:

Sixty-three programs and 117 matched residents were identified and reviewed on the Scopus database. For the 2018 cycle, 274 total publications were produced by matched applicants, with a mean of 2.34 ± 0.41 publication per matched applicant. The average h-index for matched applicants was 0.96 ± 0.13. On univariate analysis, the number of radiology-related publications, highest journal impact factor, and h-index were all associated with an increased likelihood of matching into a higher tier program (P < 0.05). Other research variables displayed no statistical significance. All applicants with PhDs matched into tier one programs.

Conclusions:

Research serves as an important element in successfully matching into an integrated-IR residency. h-index, number of radiology-related manuscripts, and highest journal impact factors are all positively associated with matching into a higher tier program.

Authors: Jain Neil , O’Neill Sean , Chandra Vishnu , Sokalaw Slavamir , Alam Aisha , Kumar Abhishek , Contractor Sohail , Shukla Pratik
Published: December 2019

Objective:

Symposiums are great avenues to expose students to interventional radiology (IR) and gauge their interest in the field. This study compares student interest and knowledge of the specialty before and after a state- wide IR symposium.

Materials and Methods:

A state-wide IR symposium consisted of lecture didactics and interactive hands-on IR simulations. Pre-symposium and post-symposium survey assessments were provided to each attendee to complete. The surveys remained anonymous and were performed for quality assurance purposes. The survey included questions on knowledge of IR, interest in IR, application strategies for the IR match, and career options in IR.

Results:

A total of 101 medical students registered for the symposium. Thirty-nine completed the pre-symposium survey and 40 completed the post-symposium survey. About 71.1% of the respondents reported “Little Knowledge” of IR before the symposium, which decreased to 40.5% after the symposium. Furthermore, 21% of the respondents believed that they had a “Good Foundation” in IR before the symposium and 59.5% after the symposium (P < 0.0001). The percentage of students planning to pursue IR increased from 35.9% to 45.9% (P = 0.160) after the symposium. About 77.8% reported that having an IR clinic is important in their career in the post-symposium survey compared to 64.1% in the pre-symposium survey (P = 0.077).

Conclusions:

Symposiums are an effective method in exposing medical students to IR. Students have expressed both strong interest in the field and increased knowledge post-symposium. Prospective applicants have reported dual applying to the integrated IR and diagnostic radiology (DR) residencies due to their concern about the competitive nature of integrated IR due to small number of positions available.
Professional ethics – An approach through value education
Authors: Singh Jagdev , Panditrao Mridul
Published: December 2019

Profession is not only the means to earn one’s livelihood but also the means of one’s evolution by appropriate participation in the larger order. Through professional education, one acquires the specific knowledge and skills to make contributions beneficial to the living as well as non-living beings. The contradictions and dilemmas in profession exist due to the prevailing world view, in which wealth maximization is perceived to be prime objective. This is what seems to be ailing the present-day medical profession. The development of professional ethics is a long-term process to be achieved through appropriate value education. A systematic approach in the field has been introduced where the effort to understand human reality vis-à-vis the rest of existence, with the prime focus to discover inherent coexistence and harmony at all levels of existence, has been propounded. In this article, the process of understanding, one’s own “natural acceptance”!

Published: December 2019

Philadelphia chromosome is well-known chromosomal abnormality in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with Philadelphia-positive (Ph′) is a neoplasm of lymphoblast committed to the B-cell lineage. The clinical presentation of B-ALL Ph′+ is similar to B-ALL but is more common in adults than in children. Our 50-year-old male patient presented to psychiatry OPD for deaddiction of alcohol. The patient also complained of generalized weakness and pain in legs which may have been due to chronic alcoholism. He was further investigated and diagnosed as B-precursor ALL with positive BCR-ABL fusion gene. Here, we like to emphasize that overlapping symptoms may lead to delay in diagnosis, so clinician should always investigate the patient thoroughly so that the patient is diagnosed on time and treatment can be started as early as possible and fatal outcomes can be avoided.

A rare autoimmune disorder – Behçet’s disease
Authors: Singh Bhandari Gurbir , Kaur Jasleen
Published: December 2019

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a rare autoimmune disorder also classified as a variable vessel vasculitis which is characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcerations, eye involvement, musculoskeletal symptoms, and other systemic features. Clinical presentation may vary from simple mucocutaneous manifestations to life-threatening pulmonary artery aneurysms and central nervous system involvement. The disease is much more severe in males as compared to females in contrast to all other autoimmune diseases where vice versa is true. Diagnosis is predominantly made by clinical presentation according to the International Criteria for BD. Early initiation of treatment is important as it can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not treated. Glucocorticoids along with other immunosuppressants are the mainstay of treatment.

Authors: Mohiaddin Gohdar H. , Sharaf Khidir R.
Published: December 2019

In geographic, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of transportation network provides many informations about its connectedness. It is proven that the more highly connected in a transportation network G has largest eigenvalue and hence more multiple occurrences of the eigenvalue -1. For a graph G with adjacency matrix A, the multiplicity of the eigenvalue -1 equals the dimension of the null space of the matrix A + I. In this paper, we constructed a high closed zero sum weighting of G and by which its proved that, the dimension of the null space of the eigenvalue -1 is the same as the number of independent variables used in a non-trivial high closed zero sum weighting of the graph. Multiplicity of -1 as an eigenvalue of known graphs and of corona product of certain classes of graphs are determined and two classes of -1- nut graphs are constructed.

Authors: Abdullah Abdullah A. , Eesa Adel S. , Abdo Ahmed M.
Published: December 2019

Data hiding or steganography has been used ever since a secret message was needed to be transferred. Data hiding methods need a medium to be cover for secret message that is to be sent. Different mediums are used such as image, video, audio, and last decade the deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). In this paper, a new data hiding approach based on the DNA sequence is proposed. Unlike many existing methods, the proposed method does not change the biological functionality of the DNA reference sequence when the sequence is translated into amino acids. The proposed method is consisting of two steps: the first step is encrypting the message using the Toffoli quantum gate. The second step is embedding the encrypted message into DNA sequence by taking one codon at a time and considering amino acids' biological functionality during the embedding process. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing schemes preserving biological functionality in terms of cracking probability, and hiding capacity for bit per nucleotide.

Hafıza Ortamından Tüketim
Nesnesine Dönüşen Ev

Özet

Bu makalede bir sosyal mekân olarak ev ve hafıza ilişkisi tüketim
bağlamında ele alınmaktadır. Tüketim kültürünün insanların arzularını
kışkırtarak onları nasıl çeşitli aralıklarla ev veya konut değiştirmeye
zorladığı ve bunun sonucunda eve dair hafızanın nasıl yitirildiğine
odaklanılmaktadır. Bu çerçevede öncelikle evin bir sosyal varlık olan insan
için taşıdığı öneme değinilmiş; ardından insan-mekân-hafıza ilişkisi bağlamında
evin anlamlar, değerler ve ilişkilerin kaydolduğu bir hafıza çerçevesi olarak
oynadığı role dikkat çekilmiştir. Son olarak evin tüketim kültürünün etkisiyle
nasıl bir meta-göstergeye dönüştüğü ve bunun sonucunda da diğer tüketim
nesneleri gibi kullanılıp belli bir süre sonra bir başkasıyla değiştirildiği ve
böylece bu yüzer-gezerlik durumuna bağlı olarak ev-hafıza ilişkisinin nasıl
silikleştiği serdedilmiştir.

Anahtar kavramlar: ev, hafıza, tüketim kültürü, hafızanın silikleşmesi

Published: December 2019

Et ve et ürünleri tüketicilerin çoğunlukla tercih ettiği, hayvansal orjinli protein kaynağıdır. Et tüketimi dünya çapında artış göstermektedir. Bu nedenle etlerin hazırlanması, tüketime sunulması ve uzun süre saklanabilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Et bozulması sonucunda dokunun rengi, tonu değişmekte, yapışkan hale gelmekte, kötü koku ve tat görülmektedir. Hayvan etlerinin bozulmasından sorumlu mikroorganizmalar arasında funguslardan Cladosporium, Sporotrichum, Geotrichum, Penicillium, Mucor, Candida, Cryptococcus, Rhodotorula, bakterilerden ise Brochothrix, Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Streptococcus, Sarcina, Lactobacillus, Salmonella, Escherichia, Clostridium ve Bacillus’a ait türler sayılabilir. Bu mikroorganizmaların gelişimini önlemek için farklı yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Kullanılan yöntemler fiziksel, kimyasal ve biyolojik olmak üzere üç bölüme ayrılabilir. Etleri korumada kullanılan tuzlama yöntemi eski çağlardan beri kullanılan bir kimyasal yöntemdir. Gıda katkı maddesi olarak kabul edilen diğer kimyasal maddeler de et koruması için kullanılmaktadır. Bu derlemede etlerin korunmasında kullanılan kimyasal yöntemler anlatılmıştır.
Ester Dance Reaction on the Aromatic Ring
Authors: Matsushita Kaoru , Takise Ryosuke , Muto Kei , Yamaguchi Junichiro
Published: December 2019

Aromatic rearrangement reactions are useful tools in the organic chemist’s toolbox when generating uncommon substitution patterns. However, it is difficult to precisely translocate a functional group in (hetero)arene systems, with the exception of halogen atoms in a halogen dance reaction. Herein, we describe an unprecedented “ester dance” reaction: a predictable translocation of an ester group from one carbon atom to another on an aromatic ring. Specifically, a phenyl carboxylate substituent can be shifted from one carbon to an adjacent carbon on a (hetero)aromatic ring under palladium catalysis to often give a thermodynamically favored, regioisomeric product with modest to good conversions. The obtained ester moiety can be further converted to various aromatic derivatives through the use of classic as well as state-of-the-art transformations including an amidation, acylations and decarbonylative couplings.

Parental Proximity and the Earnings Consequences of Job Loss
Authors: Coate Patrick , Krolikowski Pawel M. , Zabek Mike
Published: December 2019

We find post-job-loss earnings recovery is faster for young adults who live near their parents than for young adults who live farther away. This positive effect diminishes gradually as the distance to one's parents increases. Most of the effect is driven by higher wages after job displacement, not by differences in the number of hours worked. The effect is not present for older workers, who may be caring for elderly parents.
How Small Banks Deal with Large Shocks
Authors: Cortés Kristle Romero
Published: December 2019

After a natural disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, or flood, banks in the affected area experience a sharp rise in the demand for loans as property owners look to repair the damage. Recent research has focused on such events to study how small community banks adjust their typical way of doing business to respond to large shocks. The research finds that banks strategically adjust their business in three ways to meet the increased demand. Two adjustments increase the funds available for lending, while one shifts lending from areas unaffected by the disaster to the affected area, a strategy that extends the negative impact of large shocks to distant areas otherwise untouched by the disaster.
An Improved M-ary Modulation Scheme Based on Chaotic Dynamics
Authors: Abdullah Hikmat N. , Sahar Asaad H. , Saeed Thamir R.
Published: December 2019

This paper proposes an improved chaos-based M-ary modulation system. It reproduces deterministic chaotic dynamics to create M-ary non-coherent modulation. The proposed modulation system transmits data using autonomous chaotic sequences. It separates the chaotic dynamics through the use of interleavers and realigns them through the use deinterleavers. The simulation results show that the improved scheme overperforms its traditional counterpart. The degree of improvement grows as the M-ary order is increased, with a penalty of increased system complexity.
Implementation of C-PolSK Modulation in FSO Network and Analysis of its Atmospheric Performance
Authors: Chattopadhyay Diptangshu , Bharti Manisha
Published: December 2019

Free Space Optical (FSO) communication is a quickly developing technology that is designed to handle high data rates while maintaining a good quality factor (Q-factor). Many novel techniques have been implemented to cope with atmospheric attenuating factors, such as fog and rain. Here, we have introduced circular polarization shift keying (C-PolSK) modulation to produce a stable and uniform light beam. The plane of polarized light keeps rotating along with the propagation vector, which helps reduce phase variations and cross-channel eﬀects. C-PolSK provides higher penetrating power and attenuation resistance over linear polarization shift keying (L-PolSK). Two diﬀerent C-PolSK models have been proposed and graphical comparisons, relying on such parameters as Q-factor, transmission distance and inputoutput power, have been made. The cases of moderate fog and rain attenuation are taken to verify the model’s eﬃciency. Polarized light is split into two orthogonal components and then modulated using the Mach-Zehnder modulator. One of the models also employs the principle of orthogonal diﬀerential phase shifting. Eye diagrams have been provided to verify the bit error rate (BER). The orthogonal diﬀerential phase shifted C-PolSK model proves to be the most suitable implementation prototype.
