Infrared Radiance Simulation and Application under Cloudy Sky Conditions Based on HIRTM

An algorithm based on hyperspectral infrared cloudy radiative transfer model (HIRTM) is introduced and a simulation method for infrared image of the generation geostationary meteorological satellite is proposed. Based on the parameters from weather research and forecast (WRF), such as the water content, atmospheric temperature, and humidity profile, the simulation data for the advanced Himawari imager (AHI) infrared radiative (IR) channels of Himawari-8 are obtained. Simulated results based on HIRTM agree well with the observed data. Further, the movement, development, and change of the cloud are well predicated. And the simulation of IR cloud image for the weather forecast has been obtained. This paper provides an improved method for evaluation and improvement of regional numerical model for weather forecast.     

基于本征音子说话人子空间的说话人自适应算法

本征音子说话人自适应算法在自适应数据量充足时可以取得很好的自适应效果,但在自适应数据量不足时会出现严重的过拟合现象。为此该文提出一种基于本征音子说话人子空间的说话人自适应算法来克服这一问题。首先给出基于隐马尔可夫模型-高斯混合模型(HMM-GMM)的语音识别系统中本征音子说话人自适应的基本原理。其次通过引入说话人子空间对不同说话人的本征音子矩阵间的相关性信息进行建模;然后通过估计说话人相关坐标矢量得到一种新的本征音子说话人子空间自适应算法。最后将本征音子说话人子空间自适应算法与传统说话人子空间自适应算法进行了对比。基于微软语料库的汉语连续语音识别实验表明,与本征音子说话人自适应算法相比,该算法在自适应数据量极少时能大幅提升性能,较好地克服过拟合现象。与本征音自适应算法相比,该算法以较小的性能牺牲代价获得了更低的空间复杂度而更具实用性。     

Photothermal Janus Anode with Photosynthesis‐Shielding Effect for Activating Low‐Temperature Biological Wastewater Treatment

Biological wastewater treatment (BWT), which is used to manage global wastewater, suffers from a sharp decrease in microbial activity at low temperature (<10 °C). Photothermal technology with a high energy efficiency theoretically exceeding 80% has the potential to activate low‐temperature BWT. However, photothermal BWT is threatened by the propagation of photosynthetic algae in wastewater under irradiation, and these microorganisms can suppress the functional bacteria or even kill anaerobic species by photosynthetically releasing oxygen. Herein, taking microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as a representative biological reactor, a photothermal Janus anode (PTJA) is designed, composed of a carbon black/polydimethylsiloxane photothermal nonporous layer and a graphite felt porous layer to promote low‐temperature BWT. Unlike traditional symmetrical porous anodes, the nonporous layer of the PTJA can isolate the wastewater in the porous layer from light irradiation during photothermal conversion, thus preventing photosynthetic algae from poisoning anaerobic functional microbes. Under ≈1 sun illumination, the PTJA MFC exhibits 1.6 and 24.2 times higher organic pollutant removal rate and power density generation, respectively, than MFCs using traditional anodes for low‐temperature BWT (7.0 ± 2.0 °C). This development can allow novel utilization of solar energy and is a promising resolution for low‐temperature BWT.     

The First Flexible Dual‐Ion Microbattery Demonstrates Superior Capacity and Ultrahigh Energy Density: Small and Powerful

Humans live today in a high‐tech and informationalized society. With the development of the emerging electronic information age, various electronic systems are inclined to be multifunctional and miniaturized. It is urgent to develop “small and powerful” micro‐batteries with flexibility and high electrochemical performance to meet the diverse needs of microelectronic components. However, low electrochemical performance exists in traditional microenergy storage devices, which fail to satisfy the energy needs for microdevices. Here, for the first time, a planar integrated flexible rechargeable dual‐ion microbattery (DIMB) is reported, which is fabricated from an interdigital pattern of graphite as an electrode and lithium hexafluorophosphate as an electrolyte. As a microbattery, the DIMB exhibits a high reversible capacity of 56.50 mAh cm^?3, and excellent cycle stability with 90% capacity retention after 300 cycles under a high working voltage. The application of DIMB in microdevices, such as light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), digital electronic game consoles, and electrochromic glasses is also investigated, fully demonstrating its “small and powerful” performance. The integrated DIMB is a high‐voltage microdevice that reaches a nonpareil discharge voltage of about 100 V and a charging capacity of 102 mAh g^?1. This dual ion‐based flexible microbattery could become a promising candidate for energy storage and conversion components in next‐generation microelectronic devices and integrated electronic devices.     

Transcatheter Self‐Powered Ultrasensitive Endocardial Pressure Sensor

Changes in endocardial pressure (EP) have important clinical significance for heart failure patients with impaired cardiac function. As a vital parameter for evaluating cardiac function, EP is commonly monitored by invasive and expensive cardiac catheterization, which is not feasible for long‐term and continuous data collection. In this work, a miniaturized, flexible, and self‐powered endocardial pressure sensor (SEPS) based on triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), which is integrated with a surgical catheter for minimally invasive implantation, is reported. In a porcine model, SEPS is implanted into the left ventricle and the left atrium. The SEPS has a good response both in low‐ and high‐pressure environments. The SEPS achieves the ultrasensitivity, real‐time monitoring, and mechanical stability in vivo. An excellent linearity (R ² = 0.997) with a sensitivity of 1.195 mV mmHg^?1 is obtained. Furthermore, cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular premature contraction can also be detected by SEPS. The device may promote the development of miniature implantable medical sensors for monitoring and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.     

传输腔稳频的397nm半导体激光器

商用的半导体激光器由于其长期漂移大,不能满足单离子光频标中离子的激光冷却和长时间探测的目的。因此,采用了传输腔稳频技术减小商用397nm半导体激光器的长期漂移。利用经过Pound-Drever-Hall(PDH)技术锁定的729nm超稳激光器作参考激光,采用扫描的法布里-珀罗(F-P)干涉仪作传输介质,实现了397nm半导体激光器的长稳锁定。稳频后397nm激光器在1h内的漂移小于1MHz,100s的Allan方差小于1×10-10。这些指标为下一步利用传输腔技术实现866nm激光的长稳锁定打下了基础,同时为优化单个钙离子的激光冷却和长时间精密测量提供了条件。

NH3 对二甲苯光氧化形成二次有机气溶胶的影响

二甲苯是一种重要的人为源 VOC, 也是城市地区 SOA 的重要前体物。二甲苯光氧化形成的 SOA 受多种环 境因素影响, 而 NH3 对该反应形成的 SOA 生成产率及反应机制的影响尚不清楚。基于室内烟雾箱模拟系统, 探讨了 NH3 对二甲苯光氧化形成 SOA 质量浓度、物理特性及化学组成的影响。研究表明, 在低浓度条件下, NH3 对二甲苯 光氧化生成 SOA 具有明显的促进作用, 结合气溶胶质谱结果发现 NH3 促进醛酮类物质进入颗粒相以及含氮有机物的 生成是导致 SOA 质量浓度增加的主要原因。此外, NH3 能够提高邻二甲苯生成 SOA 的吸光度, 但是对对二甲苯无明 显影响。分析表明, 相较于对二甲苯, 邻二甲苯光氧化会生成大量醛类物质, NH3 与醛类发生美拉德反应是导致 SOA 吸光性增加的主要原因。     

Tuning the Poisson's Ratio of Biomaterials for Investigating Cellular Response

Cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, regardless of whether the source is from a normal tissue matrix, an adjacent cell or a synthetic substrate. In recent years, cell response to surface rigidity has been extensively studied by modulating the elastic modulus of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐based hydrogels. In the context of biomaterials, Poisson's ratio, another fundamental material property parameter has not been explored, primarily because of challenges involved in tuning the Poisson's ratio in biological scaffolds. Two‐photon polymerization is used to fabricate suspended web structures that exhibit positive and negative Poisson's ratio (NPR), based on analytical models. NPR webs demonstrate biaxial expansion/compression behavior, as one or multiple cells apply local forces and move the structures. Unusual cell division on NPR structures is also demonstrated. This methodology can be used to tune the Poisson's ratio of several photocurable biomaterials and could have potential implications in the field of mechanobiology.
