Ordered mesoporous Pd/SnO2 synthesized by a nanocasting route for high hydrogen sensing performance

Ordered mesoporous SnO₂ and mesoporous Pd/SnO₂ have been successfully synthesized via nanocasting method using the hexagonal mesoporous SBA-15 as template. Two different procedures, impregnation technique and direct synthesis, were utilized for the doping of Pd in the mesoporous SnO₂. The results of small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD), nitrogen adsorption–desorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrate that the SnO₂ and Pd/SnO₂ display ordered mesoporous structures and high surface areas. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveal tetragonal structure of SnO₂ and the existence of Pd element. The sensing properties of mesoporous SnO₂ and mesoporous Pd/SnO₂ for H₂ were detected. The sensor utilizing mesoporous Pd/SnO₂ via direct synthesis method exhibits excellent response and recovery behavior and much higher sensitivity to H₂, compared to those using mesoporous SnO₂ and mesoporous Pd/SnO₂ via impregnation technique. It is believed that its high gas sensing performance is derived from the large surface area, high activity and well dispersion of Pd additive, as well as high porosity, which lead to highly effective surface interaction between the target gas molecules and the surface active sites.     

Dual graph regularized NMF model for social event detection from Flickr data

In this work, we aim to discover real-world events from Flickr data by devising a three-stage event detection framework. In the first stage, a multimodal fusion (MF) model is designed to deal with the heterogeneous feature modalities possessed by the user-shared data, which is advantageous in computation complexity. In the second stage, a dual graph regularized non-negative matrix factorization (DGNMF) model is proposed to learn compact feature representations. DGNMF incorporates Laplacian regularization terms for the data graph and base graph into the objective, keeping the geometry structures underlying the data samples and dictionary bases simultaneously. In the third stage, hybrid clustering algorithms are applied seamlessly to discover event clusters. Extensive experiments conducted on the real-world dataset reveal the MF-DGNMF-based approaches outperform the baselines.     

Microstructural topology optimization of structural-acoustic coupled systems for minimizing sound pressure level

The aim of this paper is to present a microstructural topology optimization methodology for the structural-acoustic coupled system. In the structural-acoustic system, the structure is considered to be a thin composite plate composed of periodic uniform microstructures. The discrete design variables are used in the microstructural topology optimization, and the constitutive matrix is interpolated by the power-law scheme at the micro scale. The equivalent macro material properties of the microstructure are computed through the homogenization method. The design objective is to minimize the sound pressure level (SPL) in an interior acoustic medium. The sensitivities of the SPL with respect to design variables are derived. The bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method is extended to solve the structural-acoustic coupled optimization problem to find the optimal material distribution of the microstructure. Numerical examples of a hexahedral box and an automobile passenger compartment are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the presented microstructural topology optimization method.

Prediction of rank deficiency in partition of unity-based methods with plane triangular or quadrilateral meshes

In the partition of unity (PU)-based methods, the global approximation is built by multiplying a partition of unity by local approximations. Within this framework, high-order approximations are achieved by directly adopting high-order polynomials as local approximations, and therefore nodes along sides or inside elements, which are usually adopted in the conventional finite element methods, are no more required. However, the PU-based approximation constructed in this way may suffer from rank deficiency due to the linear dependence of the global degrees of freedom. In this paper, the origin of the rank deficiency in the PU-based approximation space is first dissected at an element level, and then an approach to predict the rank deficiency for a mesh is proposed together with the principle of the increase of rank deficiency. Finally, examples are investigated to validate the present approach. The current work indicates such a fact that the rank deficiency is an unrelated issue to the nullity of the global matrix. It can be resolved in its own manner.

Surface tension calculation of the Ni3S2---FeS---Cu2S mattes

The surface tension of the Ni₃S₂-FeS-Cu₂S ternary mattes have been calculated from those of the Ni₃S₂-FeS·FeS-Cu₂S and Cu₂S-Ni₃S₂ pseudo-binary boundary systems by using geometric models (Kohler and Toop model) and a general solution model (Chou model). Taking account of the experimental accuracy of ±2.5%, the respective calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data. At the same time, surface tensions of molten Ni₃S₂-FeS-Cu₂S mattes and their pseudo-binary boundary systems are predicted based on Butler's original treatment with great attention to the model parameter β. The predicted results also agree with the experimental data. Therefore, the resulting iso-surface tension curves in molten Ni₃S₂-FeS-Cu₂S mattes at 1473K, especially calculated by using Kohler, Toop and Chou models, are generally acceptable.
