Danvy??s functional unparsing problem (Danvy in J. Funct. Program. 8(6), 621?C625, 1998) is to implement a type-safe ??printf?? function, which converts a sequence of heterogeneous arguments to a string according to a given format. The dual problem is to implement a type-safe ??scanf?? function, which extracts a sequence of heterogeneous arguments from a string by interpreting (Friedman and Wand in LFP, pp. 348?C355, 1984 and in Essentials of Programming Languages, MIT Press, 2008) the same format as an equally heterogeneous sequence of patterns that binds zero or more variables. We derive multiple solutions to both problems (Wand in J. ACM 27(1), 164?C180, 1980) from their formal specifications (Wand in Theor. Comput. Sci. 20(1), 3?C32, 1982). On one hand, our solutions show how the Hindley-Milner type system, unextended, permits accessing heterogeneous sequences with the static assurance of type safety. On the other hand, our solutions demonstrate the use of control operators (Felleisen et al. in Proceedings of the 1988 ACM Conference on Lisp and Functional Programming, pp. 52?C62, ACM Press, New York, 1988; Wand in POPL 85: Conference Record of the Annual ACM Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages, vol. 16, ACM Press, New York, 1985; Meyer and Wand in Logics of Programs, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 193, pp. 219?C224, Springer, Berlin, 1985) to communicate with formats as coroutines (Wand in Proceedings of the 1980 ACM Conference on Lisp and Functional Programming, vol. 12, pp. 285?C299, ACM Press, New York, 1980 and Haynes et al. in LFP, pp. 293?C298, 1984). 相似文献
We describe Java-MaC, a prototype implementation of the Monitoring and Checking (MaC) architecture for Java programs. The MaC architecture provides assurance that the target program is running correctly with respect to a formal requirements specification by monitoring and checking the execution of the target program at run-time. MaC bridges the gap between formal verification, which ensures the correctness of a design rather than an implementation, and testing, which does not provide formal guarantees about the correctness of the system.Use of formal requirement specifications in run-time monitoring and checking is the salient aspect of the MaC architecture. MaC is a lightweight formal method solution which works as a viable complement to the current heavyweight formal methods. In addition, analysis processes of the architecture including instrumentation of the target program, monitoring, and checking are performed fully automatically without human direction, which increases the accuracy of the analysis. Another important feature of the architecture is the clear separation between monitoring implementation-dependent low-level behaviors and checking high-level behaviors, which allows the reuse of a high-level requirement specification even when the target program implementation changes. Furthermore, this separation makes the architecture modular and allows the flexibility of incorporating third party tools into the architecture. The paper presents an overview of the MaC architecture and a prototype implementation Java-MaC. 相似文献
Standard stability calculations following the Stekly, adiabatic or dynamic stability models apply purely solid thermal conduction mechanism, derive predictions under (quasi-) stationary and adiabatic conditions and assume ideal (mostly centrosymmetric) location of disturbances. Instead, the present paper takes into account also thermal radiative heat transfer in the superconducting solid, pool boiling, and considers the impact of random location and intensity of disturbances on the stability problem. The analysis is based on interplay between Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations and a rigorous Finite Element method to calculate the resulting transient temperature field and stability functions. The combined Monte Carlo/Finite Element method is applied to 1G filament and 2G thin-film-coated high temperature superconductors. Results are strongly different from solutions achieved with standard, solely solid conduction thermal transport. It is not realistic, even in thin films, to assume uniform conductor temperature under transient disturbances. This may have significant consequences for design and simulation of performance of superconducting fault current limiters. There are doubts whether superconducting fault current limiters under any operation conditions could work in either pure flux flow or Ohmic resistive states. 相似文献
In most approaches to the problem of two-dimensional homomorphic deconvolution of ultrasound images, the estimation of a corresponding point-spread function (PSF) is necessarily the first stage in the process of image restoration. This estimation is usually performed in the Fourier domain by either successive or simultaneous estimation of the amplitude and phase of the Fourier transform (FT) of the PSE This paper addresses the problem of recovering the FT-phase of the PSF, which is an important reconstruction problem by itself. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it provides a theoretical framework, establishing that the FT-phase of the PSF can be effectively estimated by a proper smoothing of the FT-phase of the appropriate radio-frequency (RF) image. Second, it presents a novel approach to the estimation of the FT-phase of the PSF, by solving a continuous Poisson equation over a predefined smooth subspace, in contrast to the discrete Poisson equation solver used for the classical least mean squares phase unwrapping algorithms, followed by a smoothing procedure. The proposed approach is possible due to the distinct properties of the FT-phases, among which the most important property is the availability of precise values of their partial derivatives. This property overcomes the main disadvantage of the discrete schemes, which routinely use wrapped (principal) values of the phase in order to approximate its partial derivatives. Since such an approximation is feasible subject to the restriction that the partial phase differences do not exceed pi in absolute value, the discrete schemes perform satisfactory only for few practical situations. The proposed approach is shown to be independent of this restriction and, thus, it performs for a wider class of the phases with significantly lower errors. The main advantages of the novel method over the algorithms based on discrete schemes are demonstrated in a series of computer simulations and for in vivo measurements. 相似文献
Stable all-inorganic CsPbX3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) with high optical yield can be used in combination with graphene as photon sensors with high responsivity (up to 106 A W−1) in the VIS-UV range. The performance of these perovskite/graphene field effect transistors (FET) is mediated by charge transfer processes at the perovskite – graphene interface. Here, the effects of high electric (up to 3000 kV cm−1) and magnetic (up to 60 T) fields applied perpendicular to the graphene plane on the charge transfer are reported. The authors demonstrate electric- and magnetic-field dependent charge transfer and a slow (>100 s) charge dynamics. Magneto-transport experiments in constant (≈0.005 T s−1) and pulsed (≈1000 T s−1) magnetic fields reveal pronounced hysteresis effects in the transfer characteristics of the FET. A magnetic time is used to explain and model differences in device behavior under fast (pulsed) and slowly (continuous) changing magnetic fields. The understanding of the dynamics of the charge transfer in perovskite/graphene heterostructures developed here is relevant for exploitation of these hybrid systems in electronics and optoelectronics, including ultrasensitive photon detectors and FETs for metrology. 相似文献
Surfactants have a widespread occurrence, not only as household detergents, but also in their application in industry and medicine. There are numerous bioassays for assessing surfactant toxicity, but investigations of their impact on biological systems at the molecular level are still needed. In this paper, luminous marine bacteria and their coupled NAD(P)H:FMN-oxidoreductase + luciferase (Red + Luc) enzyme system was applied to examine the effects of different types of surfactants, including cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), non-ionic polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) and anionic sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and to assess whether the Red + Luc enzyme system can be used as a more sensitive indicator of toxicity. It was shown that the greatest inhibitory effect of the surfactants on the activity of luminous bacteria and the Red + Luc enzyme system was in the presence of SLS samples. The calculated IC50 and EC50 values of SLS were 10−5 M and 10−2 M for the enzymatic and cellular assay systems, respectively. The results highlight the benefits of using the enzymatic assay system in ecotoxicology as a tool for revealing surfactant effects on intracellular proteins if the cellular membrane is damaged under a long-term exposure period in the presence of the surfactants. For this purpose, the bioluminescent enzyme-inhibition-based assay could be used as an advanced research tool for the evaluation of surfactant toxicity at the molecular level of living organisms due to its technical simplicity and rapid response time. 相似文献
The undoped and metal-doped zinc oxide columnar films (ZnO:Sn, ZnO:Fe, ZnO:Ag, and ZnO:Cu) are covered with an ultra-thin layer of SiO2 (10–20 nm). The electrical, UV, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensing properties are evaluated under different ambient conditions for ≈7 months to investigate the impact of the top SiO2-layer on the long-term stability of samples. The obtained results show a high immunity of sensing properties of SiO2-coated samples to humidity. Furthermore, gas sensing measurements show that the loss in response after 203 days is significantly lower for coated samples indicating higher stability of sensing performance. For ZnO:Fe the gas response is reduced by about 90% after 203 days, but for SiO2-coated ZnO:Fe columnar films the gas response is slightly reduced by only 38%. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that water species bind strongly with the surface SiO2 layer atoms with a −0.129 e− charge transfer, which is, much higher compared to the interaction with ethanol and acetone. Calculations show strong binding of water species on the SiO2 layer indicating preferential absorption of water molecules on SiO2. The obtained results demonstrate an important role of the top SiO2 ultra-thin layer in order to produce humidity-tolerant sensitive devices. 相似文献
A composed morphology of iron oxide microstructures covered with very thin nanowires (NWs) with diameter of 15–50 nm has been presented. By oxidizing metallic Fe microparticles at 255 °C for 12 and 24 h, dense iron oxide NW networks bridging prepatterned Au/Cr pads are obtained. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies reveal formation of α‐Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 on the surface and it is confirmed by detailed high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) investigations that NWs are single phase α‐Fe2O3 and some domains of single phase Fe3O4. Localized synthesis of such nano‐ and microparticles directly on sensor platform/structure at 255 °C for 24 h and reoxidation at 650 °C for 0.2–2 h, yield in highly performance and reliable detection of acetone vapor with fast response and recovery times. First nanosensors on a single α‐Fe2O3 nanowire are fabricated and studied showing excellent performances and an increase in acetone response by decrease of their diameter was developed. The facile technological approach enables this nanomaterial as candidate for a range of applications in the field of nanoelectronics such as nanosensors and biomedicine devices, especially for breath analysis in the treatment of diabetes patients. 相似文献
Electrochemically induced radical‐initiated reaction of vinyl azides with N‐hydroxyphthalimide resulting O‐phthalimide oximes with challenging for organic chemistry N−O‐N fragment has been discovered. The developed approach introduces in synthesis electrochemically generated O‐centered imide‐N‐oxyl radicals as the coupling components. Sequential formation of C−O and N−O bonds was achieved via generation and selective addition of imide‐N‐oxyl radicals, followed by recombination with iminyl radicals. A wide range of O‐phthalimide oximes was obtained with the yields up to 84%.
