Collaborative Distribution Alignment for 2D image-based 3D shape retrieval

Retrieving 3D shapes with 2D images has become a popular research area nowadays, and a great deal of work has been devoted to reducing the discrepancy between 3D shapes and 2D images to improve retrieval performance. However, most approaches ignore the semantic information and decision boundaries of the two domains, and cannot achieve both domain alignment and category alignment in one module. In this paper, a novel Collaborative Distribution Alignment (CDA) model is developed to address the above existing challenges. Specifically, we first adopt a dual-stream CNN, following a similarity guided constraint module, to generate discriminative embeddings for input 2D images and 3D shapes (described as multiple views). Subsequently, we explicitly introduce a joint domain-class alignment module to dynamically learn a class-discriminative and domain-agnostic feature space, which can narrow the distance between 2D image and 3D shape instances of the same underlying category, while pushing apart the instances from different categories. Furthermore, we apply a decision boundary refinement module to avoid generating class-ambiguity embeddings by dynamically adjusting inconsistencies between two discriminators. Extensive experiments and evaluations on two challenging benchmarks, MI3DOR and MI3DOR-2, demonstrate the superiority of the proposed CDA method for 2D image-based 3D shape retrieval task.     

Facile synthesis of Ti3C2 MXene-modified Bi2.15WO6 nanosheets with enhanced reactivity for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)

Through a facile hydrothermal method, we have successfully prepared Ti₃C₂/Bi_2.15WO₆ (TC/BWO) composite, and systematically investigated their reactivity for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light. X-ray diffraction and Raman analysis confirm the formation of heterostructure between Bi_2.15WO₆ and Ti₃C₂. The resultant 7TC/BWO composite exhibits enhanced photoactivity toward Cr(VI) reduction. After 120 min irradiation, the conversion of Cr(VI) reaches 92.5% with the quasi-first-order kinetic constant of k = 0.0145 min^?1, which is higher than that of pure BWO (30% and k = 0.0005 min^?1). The electrochemical and photoluminescent characterization confirm that the introduction of Ti₃C₂ is conducive to the separation of carriers, thus significantly improves the photocatalytic performance of TC/BWO. Furthermore, the radical capture experiments verify that the electrons are important for enhancing reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). As a result, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of the reduction of Cr(VI) by TC/BWO composite under visible light.     

基于误差估值累加开环校正的诱导式欺骗检测方法

诱导式卫星欺骗干扰可诱导航空器逐渐偏离预定航迹，难以被发现，因此及时有效地检测干扰是飞行安全的保障。在现有紧组合导航体制基础上，设计了一种基于误差估值累加开环校正的紧组合导航结构，并证明了其性能与传统闭环校正紧组合导航性能等效。在此结构中，将紧组合导航系统与自适应序贯概率比检测方法结合，提出了一种基于误差估值累加开环校正的诱导式欺骗检测方法，融合紧组合导航信息与其他不受欺骗影响的导航信息，构建欺骗检测统计量进行诱导式欺骗检测。仿真结果表明，开环校正结构可避免随时间累加的惯性导航系统误差所导致的组合导航滤波器发散问题，同时欺骗检测方法可进一步提高算法对“最坏”情形下微小诱导式欺骗的检测效果。     

Stabilization for Schrödinger Equation with Internal Damping and Boundary Disturbance

In this paper, the stabilization for Schrödinger equation subject to internal damping and boundary disturbance at the control end is investigated. Due to its immeasurability, the nonlinear observer system is designed to obtain the state information, and the existence of weak solution and its convergence for the nonlinear observer system are proved. The feedback control is realized by the backstepping transformation. In addition, the adaptive disturbance rejection control is applied to estimate the disturbance. According to the observer and disturbance estimation, the feedback control is finally designed to stabilize the system asymptotically.

Self-optimized and renewable Ni–Co alloy@Co–Co2C catalyst for higher alcohols synthesis from syngas

Higher alcohols synthesis (HAS) from syngas (CO/H₂) has attracted widespread attention, while the low selectivity and poor stability of the catalysts mainly stumbled its industrial application. In the work, Ni–Co alloy nanoparticles (NPs) derived from Co_1-xNi_xAl₂O₄ loaded on the SiO₂ with large specific surface area were prepared; and during reaction, the highly dispersed Ni–Co alloys were self-optimized to Ni–Co alloy@Co–Co₂C. Importantly, Ni–Co alloy@Co–Co₂C can be regenerated through oxidation - reduction - self-optimization process. Characteristic results indicated that the structural liberalization during the reaction process inhibited the loss of Ni, regulated and balanced the dual active sites of the catalyst and the Ni–Co alloys were regenerated after the re-oxidation and re-reduction process. The optimized catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance, including a high total selectivity to alcohols of 39.3% and an excellent catalytic stability at 250 °C, 3.5 MPa (H₂/CO = 2) and a space velocity of 6000 mL (g_cat h)^?1. In addition, the Ni–Co alloy@Co–Co₂C catalyst after stability test could recover its original catalytic performance after re-oxidation and re-reduction. The renewable characteristics and superior catalytic performance of Ni–Co alloy@Co–Co₂C made the catalyst to be one of the potential industrial catalysts for HAS.

Coupling effects of water content,temperature, oxygen density,and polytetrafluoroethylene loading on oxygen transport through ionomer thin film on platinum surface in catalyst layer of proton exchange membrane fuel cell

In this work, coupling effects of water content, temperature, oxygen density, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) loading on oxygen transport through an ionomer thin film on a platinum surface in a catalyst layer of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell are investigated using molecular dynamics approach. Taguchi orthogonal algorithm is employed to comprehensively analyze the coupling effects in a limited number of cases. It is found that the effect of operation temperature is the weakest among the four factors, which has the smallest effect index 14.4. Coupling effects including the PTFE loadings on the oxygen transfer through the ionomer thin film is uncovered. Less PTFE loadings should be beneficial for the oxygen transfer. The chemical potential gradient is considered as the major driven force for the oxygen transport through the ionomer thin film, and oxygen density is the dominating factor, significantly affecting the chemical potential in the thin film.

Synergistic regulation of hydrogen adsorption/desorption via dual interfaces of Cu/Ni/Ni(OH)2 toward efficient hydrogen evolution reaction

Nickel-based catalysts have attracted tremendous attention as alternatives to precious metal-based catalysts for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in virtue of their conspicuous advantages such as abundant reserves and high electrochemical activity. Nevertheless, a great challenge for Ni-based electrocatalyst is that nickel sites possess too strong adsorption for key intermediates H1, which severely suppresses the hydrogen-production activities. Herein, we report a hierarchical architecture Cu/Ni/Ni(OH)₂ consisting of dual interfaces as a high-efficient electrocatalyst for HER. The Cu nanowire backbone could provide geometric spaces for loading plenty of Ni sites and the formed Ni/Cu interface could effectively weakened the adsorption intensity of H1 intermediates on the catalyst surface. Moreover, the H1 adsorption could be further controlled to appropriate states by in-situ formed Ni(OH)₂/Ni interface, which simultaneously promotes water adsorption and activation, thus both Heyrovsky and Volmer steps in HER could be obviously accelerated. Experimental and theoretical results confirm that this interface structure can promote water dissociation and optimize H1 adsorption. Consequently, the Cu/Ni/Ni(OH)₂ electrocatalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 20 mV at 10 mA cm^?2 and an ultralow Tafel slope of 30 mV dec^?1 in 1.0 M KOH, surpassing those of reported transition-metal-based electrocatalysts and even the prevailing commercial Pt/C.
