Managing uncertainty and discontinuous condition numbers in geometric computation

We consider operations on subdivision surfaces under the strict robustness requirement that these floating-point computations return an object with the same topological form as the true solution. The problems involved may however be ill-conditioned, and defined in terms of uncertain data, and even supplementary interval arithmetic may not ensure robustness. Trapping mechanisms are therefore proposed to resolve this difficulty.     

Materials applications of photoelectron emission microscopy

Photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) is a versatile technique that can image a variety of materials including metals, semiconductors and even insulators. Under favorable conditions the most advanced aberration corrected instruments have a spatial resolution approaching 2 nm. Although PEEM cannot compete with transmission or scanning electron microscopies for ultimate resolution, the technique is much gentler and has the unique advantage of imaging structure as well as electronic and magnetic states on the nanoscale. Since the image contrast is derived from spatial variations in electron photoemission intensity, PEEM is ideal for interrogating both static and dynamic electronic properties of complex nanostructured materials. Here, we review the key principles and contrast mechanisms of PEEM and briefly summarize materials applications of PEEM.     

Reinforced Wool Keratin Fibers via Dithiol Chain Re-bonding

Regenerated wool keratin fibers (RWKFs) have heretofore attracted tremendous interest according to environmental friendliness, ample resource, and intrinsic biocompatibility for broad applications. In this realm, both uncontrollable keratin fibril assembly procedure and resultant insufficient mechanical strength, have greatly hindered their large-scale manufacture and commercial viability. Herein, a continuous wet-spinning strategy is put forward to rebuild wool keratin into compact regenerated bio-fibers with improved strength via disulfide re-bonding. Dithiothreitol (DTT) has been introduced to renovate disulfide linkage inside keratin polypeptide chains, and bridge keratin fibrils via covalent thiol bonding to form a continuous backbone as mechanical support. A thus-derived RWKF manifests a tensile strength of 186.1 ± 7.0 MPa and Young's modulus of 7.4 ± 0.2 GPa, which exceeds those of natural wool, feathers, and regenerated wool or feather keratin fibers. The detailed wet-spinning technical parameters, such as coagulation, oxidation, and post-treatment, have been systematically optimized to guarantee the continuous preparation of high-strength regenerated keratin fibers. This work offers insight into solving the concurrent challenges for continuous manufacture of regenerated protein fibers and sustainability concerns about biomass waste.

The L(2,1)-labeling and operations of graphs

Motivated by a variation of the channel assignment problem, a graph labeling analogous to the graph vertex coloring has been presented and is called an L(2,1)-labeling. More precisely, an L(2,1)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V(G) to the set of all nonnegative integers such that |f(x)-f(y)| /spl ges/ 2 if d(x,y)=1 and |f(x)-f(y)| /spl ges/ 1 if d(x,y) = 2. The L(2,1)-labeling number /spl lambda/(G) of G is the smallest number k such that G has an L(2,1)-labeling with max{f(v):v/spl isin/V(G)}=k. A conjecture states that /spl lambda/(G) /spl les/ /spl Delta//sup 2/ for any simple graph with the maximum degree /spl Delta//spl ges/2. This paper considers the graphs formed by the Cartesian product and the composition of two graphs. The new graph satisfies the conjecture above in both cases(with minor exceptions).     

掺杂位置对基于马赫-曾德尔干涉的硅光调制器的消光比的影响

在基于马赫-曾德尔干涉的硅光调制器中,载流子吸收会极大的影响器件的消光比。并且,不同的掺杂位置会引起注入的载流子的分布不一样,从而导致不同的消光比。从实验上研究了这一现象,实验中的器件采用0.18 μm CMOS工艺制作在SOI材料上。实验表明,掺杂位置离脊波导的边沿0.5 μm左右时,器件会获得最佳的消光比。     

Performance analysis and power allocation for decode‐and‐forward cooperative communications over Rician fading channel

This paper derives the asymptotic symbol error rate (SER) and outage probability of decode‐and‐forward (DF) cooperative communications over Rician fading channels. How to optimally allocate the total power is also addressed when the performance metric in terms of SER or outage probability is taken into consideration. Analysis reveals the insights that Rician factor has a great impact on the system performance as compared with the channel variance, and the relay–destination channel quality is of importance. In addition, the source–relay channel condition is irrelevant to the optimal power allocation design. Simulation and numerical evaluation substantiate the tightness of the asymptotic expressions in the high‐SNR regions and demonstrate the accuracy of our theoretical analysis.

基于蛙跳算法的模糊图像复原

为了提高模糊图像复原后的清晰度,提出蛙跳算法。将蛙群体分成若干个族群,每个族群包含若干只青蛙,每次进化只更新最差青蛙的位置。为防止解空间收缩,对最优个体进行高斯变异算子操作,同时设定阈值策略对蛙跳各维变量进行指导性更新。建立模糊图像复原模型,用蛙跳算法非线性映射特性建立模糊图像与复原的函数关系,使模糊图像复原的解最终收敛于泊松统计的最大似然解。建立了复原评价指标。仿真实验结果表明,与其他算法相比,蛙跳算法复原较清晰,改善百分比最大,同时耗时最少。
