Broadband terahertz spectroscopy of amino acids

Broadband spectra of 20 L-amino acids were obtained at room temperature by terahertz time-domain and infrared spectroscopy. The intensity of terahertz absorption peaks varied with the concentrations of amino acids, and the optimum proportion for each amino acid was obtained. An absorption spectral database of 20 L-amino acids was established from 0 to 6 THz. The associations between terahertz absorption peaks and molecular structures of amino acids were analyzed. The terahertz spectra for L-alanine were compared with the calculated results based on density functional theory using two basis sets that were reliably consistent.     

Design and implementation of path planning algorithm for vehicle parking

Parking is an important and indispensable skill for drivers. With rapid urban development, the automatic parking assistant system is one of the key components in future automobiles. Path planning is always essential for solving parking problems. In this paper, a path planning method is proposed for parking using straight lines and circular curves of different radius without collisions with obstacles. The parking process is divided into two steps in which the vehicle reaches the goal state through the intermediate state from the initial state. The intermediate state will be selected from the intermediate state set with a certain criterion in order to avoid obstacles. Similarly, an appropriate goal state will be selected based on the size of the parking lot. In addition, an automatic parking system is built, which effectively achieves the parking lot perception, path planning and performs parking processes in the environment with obstacles. The result of simulations and experiments demonstrates the feasibility and practicality of the proposed method and the automatic parking system.     

Invertebrate response to impacts of water diversion and flow regulation in high‐altitude tropical streams

Water supply systems are critical infrastructure that provides food and energy security for developed societies. The operation of reservoirs (flow regulation) and water intakes (water diversion) has known negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems; however, quantification of ecological impacts and examination of these two types of flow alteration remain a developing area of research. We investigated the individual and combined impact of flow regulation and water diversion on stream ecosystem integrity, the freshwater macroinvertebrate community, and the population structure of flow‐sensitive insects. For 2 years, we monitored quarterly discharge, physical and chemical stream conditions, and benthic invertebrates of four high‐altitude tropical streams that are part of the water supply system of Quito, Ecuador. Flow regulation caused a loss of the hydrological seasonality of these streams, including a decrease in stream depth and biotic quality. Water diversion caused a decrease in dissolved oxygen and overall ecosystem integrity. Freshwater invertebrate density and richness decreased as a result of water diversion and flow regulation. The combined flow alteration in these streams decreased the density of nymphal stages of the widely distributed mayfly Andesiops peruvianus. Given the societal needs for food and energy security, water management for diversion (e.g., irrigation) and in‐line storage practices (e.g., hydroelectric dams) are anticipated to increase. This research suggests that the negative environmental impacts of flow alteration could be mitigated with discharge releases designed to approximate the natural hydrologic regime of undisturbed streams.

Rapid nanopatterning technique based on monolayer silica nanosphere close-packing by spin coating

Nanoparticles monolayer formation by spin coating is considered to be a simple, fast and inexpensive nanopatterning technique. However, the parameters that govern the overall growth process in this technique are not completely quantified and techniques for the controlled and continuous growth of close packed monolayer particle arrays without defects need to be developed. In this paper, an ordered particle array formation process is analyzed theoretically, employing material flux balance and particle- subjected forces balance, based on the film thickness model of spin coating and evaporation rate law. A series of experiments were conducted using silica particle suspensions with various particle volume fractions and different spin speeds. The results show that the spin speed should match the particle volume fraction to meet the requirements of material flux and particles movement in order to obtain a close packed monolayer film. The formation mechanism of fabrication defects involving particle agglomeration and uncontrollable voids were analyzed qualitatively based on crystal growth theory, and validation experiments were performed. The formation of highly uniform close-packed monolayer films was demonstrated and the condition requirements for achieving monolayer nanoparticles array with good quality presented.
