Characterization of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone‐co‐isobutylstyryl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) nanocomposites

Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone‐co‐isobutyl styryl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane)s (PVP–POSS) were synthesized by one‐step polymerization and characterized using FTIR, high‐resolution ¹H‐NMR, solid‐state ¹³C‐NMR, ²⁹Si‐NMR, GPC, and DSC. The POSS content can be controlled by varying the POSS feed ratio. The T_g of the PVP–POSS hybrid is influenced by three main factors: (1) a diluent role of the POSS in reducing the self‐association of the PVP; (2) a strong interaction between the POSS siloxane and the PVP carbonyl, and (3) physical aggregation of nanosized POSS. At a relatively low POSS content, the role as diluent dominates, resulting in a decrease in T_g. At a relatively high POSS content, the last two factors dominate and result in T_g increase of the PVP–POSS hybrid. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 2208–2215, 2004     

Preparation and properties of (BATB–ODPA) polyimide–clay nanocomposite materials

A series of polymer–clay nanocomposite (PCN) materials consisting of 1,4‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)‐2‐tert‐butylbenzene–4,4′‐oxydiphthalic anhydride (BATB–ODPA) polyimide (PI) and layered montmorillonite (MMT) clay were successfully prepared by an in situ polymerization reaction through thermal imidization up to 300°C. The synthesized PCN materials were subsequently characterized by Fourier‐Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, wide‐angle powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of material composition on thermal stability, mechanical strength, molecular permeability and optical clarity of bulk PI and PCN materials in the form of membranes were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), molecular permeability analysis (GPA) and ultraviolet‐visible (UV/VIS) transmission spectra, respectively. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

End-capped polystyrene with 8-hydroxyquinoline group by ATRP method

8-Hydroxyqunioline end-capped polystyrene was prepared through atom transfer free radical polymerization (ATRP) with 8-(5-chloromethyl) quinolyl acetate as initiator. The results indicated that this polymerization is a first order reaction with respect to monomer conversion. The molecular weight increased linearly with monomer consumption and very narrow distribution of molecular weight was obtained (polydispersity index less than 1.2). The FT-IR and NMR results show that the 8-hydroxyquinloine group was chemically bonded to the polymer end and there is nearly one 8-hydroxyquinoline group in per polymer chain. All those data show that polymerization of styrene at such conditions displayed living characters. The polymer with 8-hydroxyqquinoline end group reacted with triethylaluminum to form polymeric light-emitting complex and single layer LED was prepared by common spin-coating method. The peak wavelength of LED based on synthesized polymeric complex was around 570 nm.     

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of unsaturated polyester resins with reduced flammability

In this article, the kinetics of thermal decomposition of unsaturated maleic–phthalic polyester resins, flame‐retarded with zinc hydroxystannate, was studied by thermogravimetric analysis at different heating rates. At the first stage, it was found, on the basis of isoconversional analysis by the methods of Friedman and of Ozawa–Flynn–Wall, that the value of the (apparent) activation energy (E) characteristically changes in three steps during the degradation. Further kinetic studies using nonlinear regression methods revealed the best fits for both pristine and stabilized resins. It was observed that the course of E versus the degree of conversion (α) during degradation of zinc hydroxystannate‐containing resins (α > 0.8) was characterized by higher values of E—this phenomenon can be explained in terms of the flame‐retardation action of zinc hydroxystannate, which is believed to operate primarily in the condensed phase. At the next stage, kinetic analysis by the nonregression method was performed to find the kinetic model [f(α) function] of the decomposition process; hence, for pristine resin, the best fit was found for the Avrami–Yerofeeyev model (nuclei growth), and for stabilized samples, the nth‐order function with catalysis proved to be the best approximation. The obtained kinetic parameters in the form of E, the preexponential factor A, and the model function f(α) allow a prediction of the polyester resin's thermal behavior in an extrapolated range of degree of conversion, time, and temperature. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effective naive Bayes nearest neighbor based image classification on GPU

Non-parametric classifier, Naive Bayes nearest neighbor, is designed with no training phase, and its performance outperforms many well-trained learning-based image classifiers. Unfortunately, despite its high accuracy, it suffers from great computational pressure from distance computations in space of local feature. This paper explores accelerating strategies from perspectives of both algorithm design and software development. Our approach integrates space decomposition capability of Product quantization (PQ) and parallel accelerating capability of underlying computational platform, Graphics processing unit (GPU). PQ is exploited to compress the indexed local features and prune the search space. GPU is used to ease most of computational pressure by processing the tasks in parallel. To achieve good parallel efficiency, a new sequential classification process is first designed and decomposed into independent components with high parallelism. Effective parallelization techniques are then presented to make use of computational resources. Parallel heap array is built to accelerate the process of feature quantization. Distance table lookup is built to speed up the process of feature search. Comparative experiments on UIUC-Sport dataset demonstrate that our integrated solution outperforms other implementations significantly on Core-quad Intel Core i7 950 CPU and GPU of NVIDIA Geforce GTX460. Scalability experiment on 80 million tiny images database shows that our approach still performs well when large-scale image database is explored.     

A memetic algorithm for the capacitated m-ring-star problem

The Capacitated m-Ring-Star Problem (CmRSP) models a network topology design problem in the telecommunications industry. In this paper, we propose to solve this problem using a memetic algorithm that includes a crossover operation, a mutation operation, a local search involving three neighborhood operators, and a population selection strategy that maintains population diversity. Our approach generates the best known solutions for 131 out of 138 benchmark instances, improving on the previous best solutions for 24 of them, and exhibits more advantages on large benchmark instances when compared with the best existing approach. Additionally, all existing algorithms for this problem in literature assume that the underlying graph of the problem instance satisfies the triangle inequality rule; our approach does not require this assumption. We also generated a new set of 36 larger test instances based on a digital data service network price structure to serve as a new benchmark data set for future researchers.     

Bifurcation analysis of a two-dimensional simplified Hodgkin–Huxley model exposed to external electric fields

In this paper, the dynamical behaviors of a two-dimensional simplified Hodgkin–Huxley (H–H) model exposed to external electric fields are investigated through qualitative analysis and numerical simulation. A necessary and sufficient condition is proposed for the existence of the Hopf bifurcation. Saddle-node bifurcations and canards of the simplified model with the coefficients of different linear forms are also discussed. Finally, the bifurcation curves with the coefficients of different linear forms are shown. The numerical results demonstrate that some linear forms can retain the bifurcation characteristics of the original model, which is of great use to simplify the H–H model for the real-world applications.
