An enhanced data-driven polynomial chaos method for uncertainty propagation

As a novel type of polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), the data-driven PCE (DD-PCE) approach has been developed to have a wide range of potential applications for uncertainty propagation. While the research on DD-PCE is still ongoing, its merits compared with the existing PCE approaches have yet to be understood and explored, and its limitations also need to be addressed. In this article, the Galerkin projection technique in conjunction with the moment-matching equations is employed in DD-PCE for higher-dimensional uncertainty propagation. The enhanced DD-PCE method is then compared with current PCE methods to fully investigate its relative merits through four numerical examples considering different cases of information for random inputs. It is found that the proposed method could improve the accuracy, or in some cases leads to comparable results, demonstrating its effectiveness and advantages. Its application in dealing with a Mars entry trajectory optimization problem further verifies its effectiveness.     

Physicochemical characteristics,antioxidant capacity and thermodynamic properties of purple-fleshed potatos dried by radio frequency energy

Abstract

The impacts of using radio frequency (RF) energy to dry purple-fleshed potatoes were investigated and compared to infrared radiation (IR) and microwave (MW) drying techniques. The gelatinization rate, color, flavor, morphological, and structural characteristics, thermodynamic properties, as well as antioxidant capacity were examined. The results indicated that the drying time of RF (70?min) and MW (21?min) were shorter than IR (105?min). The gelatinization ratio of MW, RF, and IR were 94.4?±?2.0, 88.3?±?1.4, and 64.5?±?1.1%, respectively. The degree of crystallization of purple-fleshed potato powder decreased with all three drying methods. RF-dried potatoes were able to retain higher polyphenols (loss rate: 4.3%), total anthocyanin (3.7%), and total flavonoid content (35.1%), whereas IR showed the lowest retention. The content of polyphenols also decreased significantly. Furthermore, after RF heating, the scavenging of free radicals was higher compared to MW and IR.

High room-temperature pyroelectric property in lead-free BNT-BZT ferroelectric ceramics for thermal energy harvesting

Pyroelectrics are attracting increasing attention because they enable pyroelectric generators to extract energy from low-gradient-temperature heat for portable electronic devices. High pyroelectric coefficient around room temperature is essential for high-performance energy harvesters, which, unfortunately, is only commonly achieved in lead-based ferroelectrics. Herein we report a high room temperature pyroelectric response of 27.2 × 10^?4 C m^-2 K^-1 in 0.94(Bi_0.5Na_0.5)TiO₃-0.06Ba(Ti_0.75Zr_0.25)O₃ lead-free ceramics by modulating the Zr⁴⁺/Ti⁴⁺ ratio to tune the ferroelectric-relaxor antiferroelectric-like phase transition point to around ambient temperature, whose pyroelectric response is one order of magnitude higher than that of the sample without Zr and even comparable to those of lead-containing pyroelectrics. The theoretical analysis revealed that introduced Zr⁴⁺ could incorporate into the TiO₆ octahedral lattices and break the long-range translational symmetry of BaTiO₃ lattices, resulting in the reduction of B-site ion displacement activation energy and transition point of ferroelectric-relaxor antiferroelectric-like phase, giving rise to a pronounced room-temperature pyroelectric effect in BNT-BZT.

Simulation-based performance analysis of an ultra-low specific on-resistance trench SOI LDMOS with a floating vertical field plate

An ultra-low specific on-resistance \((R_\mathrm{{on,sp}})\) trench SOI LDMOS with a floating vertical field plate structure (FVFPT SOI) is proposed in this paper. A floating vertical plate (FVFP) is introduced into the filled oxide trench of a conventional trench SOI LDMOS (CT SOI) to improve its electrical performance. We conduct related performance analysis to this device by simulation and investigate the effects of different parameters on its performance. The FVFP causes an assisted depletion effect especially for the trench surface regions. An ultra-low \(R_\mathrm{{on,sp}}\) is therefore obtained in the FVFP device due to higher drift region doping concentration \((N_\mathrm{{d}})\). A breakdown voltage (BV) of 188V and a \(R_\mathrm{{on,sp}}\) of \(0.9 \hbox { m}\Omega \, \hbox { cm}^{2}\) are realized on a 4.8-\({\upmu }\hbox {m}\)-long drift region, a 7.5-\({\upmu }\hbox {m}\)-thick top-silicon layer and a 0.5-\({\upmu }\hbox {m}\)-thick buried oxide (BOX) layer by our simulation. Eventually, the \(R_\mathrm{{on,sp}}\) for the FVFPT SOI can be reduced by more than 60%, while its BV is maintained the same class as the CT SOI, and the figure of merit (FOM) is enhanced by 155%. And a set of optimal parameters, including the structure parameters of plate and the property parameters of device, are obtained.
