基于动态双门限和D-S证据理论的合作频谱感知算法

针对传统能量检测算法门限设置单一且不适应感知信道环境差异的问题,为了提高合作频谱感知结果的可靠性,减小网络开销和融合中心计算的负担,提出了将动态双门限能量检测和D-S证据理论相结合的合作频谱感知算法.在进行本地感知时,该算法可以让认知用户通过双门限能量检测方法直接得到本地判决结果,同时根据信道环境的变化自适应调整双门限值,并在双门限内使用D-S证据理论,感知双门限内未判决结果的信任度函数,将其发往融合中心,这样可以减少融合中心的计算量以及传输带来的网络开销.仿真结果表明,双门限D-S证据理论的融合结果要优于D-S证据理论和OR准则.

Mechanism for clogging of microchannels by small particles with liquid cohesion

We numerically investigate the effect of liquid cohesion on the clogging of microchannels induced by small wet particles. The computer simulation is performed by the discrete element method (DEM) with cohesive contact models in presence of pendular liquid bridges, which is embedded into the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). We find that liquid cohesion significantly promotes particle deposition and agglomerate growth. A clogging phase diagram, in the form of Weber number and Stokes number, is constructed to quantify the clogging-nonclogging transition. The competition between particle–particle and particle–fluid interactions is quantitatively discussed in terms of particle velocity and slip velocity. Strong cohesion can address a greater slip velocity or drag between particles and fluid, which depresses the resuspension of deposited particles and results in clogging. Finally, we compare our results with clogging induced by van der Waals adhesion of small dry particles and find that the competence of liquid cohesion is more prominent.     

Bismuth-activated,narrow-band,cyan garnet phosphor Ca3Y2Ge3O12:Bi3+ for near-ultraviolet-pumped white LED application

Herein, a novel Bi³⁺-activated Ca₃Y₂Ge₃O₁₂ (CYGO) narrow-band cyan-emitting phosphor was synthesized. It can be excited from 320–420 nm, and the strongest excitation peak is located at 370 nm, which is suitable for current near-ultraviolet (NUV) chips perfectly. The full width at half maximum is at 52 nm. By analyzing the crystal structure of the sample, we infer that the Bi³⁺ ions replace the Y³⁺ site to form a highly symmetrical BiO₆ octahedron. The time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra of CYGO: Bi³⁺ reveal that the only a single emission center exists in the host lattice. A warm white light–emitting diode (WLED) device with a low correlated color temperature (3148 K) and a high color rendering index (90.2) was fabricated by using the as-prepared sample, and the significant thermal stability of CYGO: Bi³⁺ guarantees its potential application in WLEDs. It is verified that the structure with only one crystallographic Y site for Bi³⁺ dopant occupation and highly symmetrical and dense structure is conducive to realize narrow-band emission, which will provide experience for researchers to explore more Bi³⁺-activated phosphors used for high-end lighting.     

Effect of hollow glass beads on density and mechanical properties of silicone rubber composites

In this work, low density hollow glass beads (HGB)/silicon rubber (SR) composites were prepared by solution method and flocculation process. The prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, tensile test, and friction test. The results show that the densities of SR composites decrease from 1.140 to 0.792 g/cm³ with the addition of HGB. By comparing theoretical density with true density, it can be estimated that the ratio of shattered HGB increase from 8.79% to 24.76%. Especially, the mechanical properties of SR composites were improved by surface modification of HGB. By adding surface-modified HGB at 5 and 10 wt%, the tensile strengths of SR composites were enhanced by 17.8% and 28.2%, respectively. In addition, tear strength, shore A hardness, compression set, and friction property were significantly ameliorated. Furthermore, the mechanism of surface-modified HGB in mechanical properties was analyzed.     

Preparation of treelike and rodlike carboxymethylated nanocellulose and their effect on carboxymethyl cellulose films

In this work, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with low substitution degree, followed by different posttreatments, was applied to prepare treelike CMC nanofibrils (CMCNFs) and rodlike CMC nanocrystals (CMCNCs), and their performance in CMC composite film was evaluated simultaneously. From transmission electron microscopy results, it was found that the treelike CMCNCFs exhibited a lager aspect ratio compared to the rodlike CMCNCs. As for reinforcing CMC film, 4 wt% was the best adding amount, at this time, the tensile strength of CMC/CMCNFs and CMC/CMCNCs composite films was increased by 72.1% and 47.3%, respectively. Moreover, adding these nanofillers to CMC also could enhance the thermal stability of composite films slightly, while the transmittance of composite films was reduced at the same time. In addition, CMC/CMCNFs film was designed as a packaging box to determine its performance. Therefore, this study could reveal the differences of properties for composites with different types of nanocellulose and provide a foundation for further application of nanocellulose.     

Enhanced interfacial adhesion of aramid fiber reinforced rubber composites through bio-inspired surface modification and aramid nanofiber coating

In order to improve the interfacial adhesion between aramid fiber (AF) and rubber matrix, a simple and facile method of aramid nanofiber (ANF) coating is demonstrated in this article. Tannic acid (TA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) are polymerized in an alkaline solution to form a thin TA/PEI (TP) layer that is deposited on the surface of AF to introduce functional groups such as hydroxyl and amino groups. Then, the ANF coating is utilized to construct nanostructures on the surface of AF to improve the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and the rubber. Through hydrogen bonding and/or π-π stacking between the TP layer and the ANF, the ANF coating is firmly attached to the surface of AF. Compared with the untreated fiber, the interfacial adhesion of AF coated with ANF after 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 deposition cycles is increased by 27.8%, 29.1%, 31.5%, 43.1%, and 30.3%, and the mechanical properties of the fibers remain almost unchanged. This method shows its advantages of simple, facile, and time-effective, which is of great significance for industrial applications.
