High-temperature single-mode operation of 1.3-μm strained MQWgain-coupled DFB lasers

Single-mode and high-power operation at temperatures up to 120°C has been achieved in 1.3-μm strained MQW gain-coupled DFB lasers. A stable lasing wavelength is maintained due to a large modal facet loss difference of the two Bragg modes, which is provided by the gain-coupling effect. A very low temperature dependence of the threshold current has been obtained by detuning the lasing wavelength to the long wavelength side of the material gain peak at room temperature, which effectively compensates the waveguide loss at higher temperatures. An infinite characteristic temperature T_o can be realized at certain ranges of temperature depending on the detuning value     

A novel adaptive anti-interference algorithm based on negative diagonal loading for spoofing and jamming in Global Navigation Satellite System

Spoofing and jamming are two kinds of significant interferences in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). When they coexist in GNSS propagation environment, interference suppression becomes more difficult. Conventional power inversion (PI) algorithm can reject jamming effectively, but has different influences on repeat spoofing when the different numbers of elements are used in an antenna array. Nevertheless, repeat spoofing still has the capability of deception after being processed by the PI algorithm. In the paper, different influences have been analyzed and a blind adaptive anti-interference algorithm is proposed based on negative diagonal loading technique. The proposed method can adaptively reject spoofing and jamming simultaneously without estimating the direction-of-arrivals (DOAs) of them, and ensure that authentic satellite signal can be acquired by the GNSS receiver without other treatment of repeat spoofing. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the new method.     

Bifunctional Porous NiFe/NiCo2O4/Ni Foam Electrodes with Triple Hierarchy and Double Synergies for Efficient Whole Cell Water Splitting

A 3D hierarchical porous catalyst architecture based on earth abundant metals Ni, Fe, and Co has been fabricated through a facile hydrothermal and electrodeposition method for efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The electrode is comprised of three levels of porous structures including the bottom supermacroporous Ni foam (≈500 μm) substrate, the intermediate layer of vertically aligned macroporous NiCo₂O₄ nanoflakes (≈500 nm), and the topmost NiFe(oxy)hydroxide mesoporous nanosheets (≈5 nm). This hierarchical architecture is binder‐free and beneficial for exposing catalytic active sites, enhancing mass transport and accelerating dissipation of gases generated during water electrolysis. Serving as an anode catalyst, the designed hierarchical electrode displays excellent OER catalytic activity with an overpotential of 340 mV to achieve a high current density of 1200 mA cm^?2. Serving as a cathode catalyst, the catalyst exhibits excellent performance toward HER with a moderate overpotential of 105 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm^?2. Serving as both anode and cathode catalysts in a two‐electrode water electrolysis system, the designed electrode only requires a potential of 1.67 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm^?2 and exhibits excellent durability in prolonged bulk alkaline water electrolysis.     

Cypate‐Conjugated Porous Upconversion Nanocomposites for Programmed Delivery of Heat Shock Protein 70 Small Interfering RNA for Gene Silencing and Photothermal Ablation

Synergistic therapy is an accepted method of enhancing the efficacy of cancer therapies. In this study, cypate‐conjugated porous NaLuF₄ doped with Yb³⁺, Er³⁺, and Gd³⁺ is synthesized and its potential for upconversion luminescence/magnetic resonance dual‐modality molecular imaging for guiding oncotherapy is tested. Loading cypate‐conjugated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP‐cy) with small interfering RNA gene against heat shock protein 70 (UCNP‐cy‐siRNA) enhances the cell damage. UCNP‐cy‐siRNA exhibits remarkable antitumor efficacy in vivo as a result of the synergistic effects of gene silencing and photothermal therapy, with low drug dose and minimal side effects. This result thus provides an explicit strategy for developing next‐generation multifunctional nanoplatforms for multimodal imaging‐guided synergistic oncotherapy.     

Fake modern Chinese painting identification based on spectral–spatial feature fusion on hyperspectral image

Chinese painting is famous and valuable for special painting materials, skills and final art effects used, yet this has resulted in many fake paintings being produced. Those fake paintings were normally made by using modern high resolution scanning and printing technology, thus it is very hard to identify the fake ones by human vision. To address this challenging problem, in this paper, a hyperspectral image based features fusion method is proposed. Firstly, we scan Chinese paintings using a visual band hyperspectral camera with the spectral frequency ranging from 400 to 900 nm. Then, the spectral and spatial features are extracted respectively by using the principal component analysis and a convolution neural network. Finally, we fuse these two kinds of features and input the feature set into a support vector machines for classification. All samples of real and fake paintings are obtained from local Chinese painting organization. The experimental result shows the effectiveness of the proposed method with an accuracy achieved of 84.6 %, which is significantly higher than other approaches where only spectral or spatial feature is used.     

CRSM: a practical crowdsourcing-based road surface monitoring system

Detecting road potholes and road roughness levels is key to road condition monitoring, which impacts transport safety and driving comfort. We propose a crowdsourcing-based road surface monitoring system, simply called CRSM. CRSM can effectively detect road potholes and evaluate road roughness levels using hardware modules mounted on distributed vehicles. These modules use low-end accelerometers and GPS devices to obtain vibration patterns, locations, and vehicle velocities. Considering the high cost of onboard storage and wireless transmission, a novel light-weight data mining algorithm is proposed to detect road surface events and transmit potential pothole information to a central server. The central server gathers reports from multiple vehicles, and makes a comprehensive evaluation on road surface quality. We have implemented a product-quality system, and have deployed it on 100 taxies in the Shenzhen urban area. The results show that CRSM can detect road potholes with 90 % accuracy, with nearly zero false alarms. CRSM can also evaluate road roughness levels correctly, even with some interferences from small bumps or potholes.
