Photocatalytic performance of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> thin films connected with Cu micro-grid

Aiming at reducing the recombination of photo-induced carriers in semiconductor photocatalytic process, we prepared TiO₂ thin film with its surface modified by a connected Cu micro-grid via a microsphere lithography strategy, which showed higher photocatalytic activity than the pure TiO₂ film. The improvement of photocatalytic activity of Cu micro-grid to the TiO₂ film is due to the charge carrier separation and electron transfer by the conducting metal grid. The photocatalytic activity was improved as metal loading increased, which obtained the best performance at a certain loading amount, and then decreased at higher loading amount. This phenomenon was attributed to the metal’s bulk effect which could be explained by the relationship between the energetic positions and the metal cluster size.

Mold deformation in soft UV-nanoimprint lithography

UV-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) using a soft mold is a promising technique with low cost and high throughput for producing the submicron scale large-area patterns. However, the deformations of the soft mold during imprinting process which can cause serious consequences have to be understood for the practical application of the process. This paper investigated the deformation of the soft mold by theoretical analyses, numerical simulations, and experimental studies. We simulated the mold deformation using a simplified model and finite element method. The simulation and the related experimental results agree well with each other. Through the investigation, the mechanism and affected factors of the mold deformation are revealed, and some useful conclusions have been achieved. These results will be valuable in optimizing the imprinting process conditions and mold design for improving the quality of transferred patterns.     

Gel polymer electrolyte based on poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) and a novel organic iodide salt for quasi-solid state dye-sensitized solar cell

A gel polymer electrolyte based on poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) as polymer matrix and N-methyl pyridine iodide salt as I⁻ source was prepared. Controlling the concentration of polymer matrix of poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) at 17.5 wt.%, mixing the binary organic solvents mixture ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate with 6:4 (w/w), and the concentration of N-methyl pyridine iodide and iodine with 0.5 and 0.05 M, respectively, the gel polymer electrolyte attains the maximum ionic conductivity (at 30 °C) of 4.63 mS cm⁻¹. Based on the gel polymer electrolyte, a quasi-solid state dye-sensitized solar cell was fabricated and its overall energy conversion efficiency of light-to-electricity of 3.10% was achieved under irradiation of 100 mW cm⁻².

An automatic 2D to 3D video conversion approach based on RGB-D images

3D movies/videos have become increasingly popular in the market; however, they are usually produced by professionals. This paper presents a new technique for the automatic conversion of 2D to 3D video based on RGB-D sensors, which can be easily conducted by ordinary users. To generate a 3D image, one approach is to combine the original 2D color image and its corresponding depth map together to perform depth image-based rendering (DIBR). An RGB-D sensor is one of the inexpensive ways to capture an image and its corresponding depth map. The quality of the depth map and the DIBR algorithm are crucial to this process. Our approach is twofold. First, the depth maps captured directly by RGB-D sensors are generally of poor quality because there are many regions missing depth information, especially near the edges of objects. This paper proposes a new RGB-D sensor based depth map inpainting method that divides the regions with missing depths into interior holes and border holes. Different schemes are used to inpaint the different types of holes. Second, an improved hole filling approach for DIBR is proposed to synthesize the 3D images by using the corresponding color images and the inpainted depth maps. Extensive experiments were conducted on different evaluation datasets. The results show the effectiveness of our method.

流计算模式下概率粗糙集三支决策的快速计算

概率粗糙集三支决策是不确定问题求解的一种重要理论,流计算模式是一种新型的动态内存计算形式,实施流计算模式下三支决策的快速动态计算是一项具有挑战性的新议题。本研究以流计算模式中的两个核心计算步骤即动态增量与动态减量作为研究对象,提出了一种流计算模式下概率粗糙集三支决策域的快速动态学习方法。首先对流计算模式中三支决策动态增量和动态减量的不同变化情况进行了数据建模。然后基于不同数据变化情况分别讨论了数据增量与数据减量时三支决策域的变化推理,并且基于上述理论给出了流计算模式下的三支决策动态增减学习算法。该算法能够以更低的时间复杂度获得与经典三支决策算法相同决策效果。最后通过八种UCI数据集的实验证明了流计算模式下三支决策动态增减学习算法在时间消耗上明显优于经典概率粗糙集三支决策算法,并且在不同阈值下具有稳定的决策效率。本研究表明了流计算模式下三支决策快速计算是可行的。     

不同破口大小对B型主动脉夹层假腔内压力的影响

为了研究夹层内的血流动力学变化对夹层转归的重要影响,并期望为临床判断主动脉夹层发展及转归提供理论依据,通过3D打印技术制作不同出入口比例及破口大小的B型主动脉夹层模型,对主动脉夹层内血流变化进行模拟,并测量观察主动脉夹层模型假腔内压力变化及流场情况.真腔内固定压力为18.620、21.280 k Pa两组中,不同破口比例的假腔入口压力比普遍均小于夹层模型内其他假腔位置,且压力值低于真腔压力;真腔内压力为23.940 k Pa组中,破口比例为2∶1的夹层模型内假腔压力比较其他破口比例模型的压力比明显升高;所有模型真腔固定水压为21.280、23.940 k Pa下均可观测到同真腔压力下,真腔流速更快,其内部压力低于假腔.同一模型中,假腔压力普遍低于真腔压力;相同压力下,原发破口大的模型假腔流速相对较低,而涡流明显;相同模型相同压力下,假腔流速低于真腔,假腔的涡流更为明显,复杂的涡流和旋动对壁面造成冲击进而使假腔破裂风险增加.
