Holographic algorithms on bases of rank 2

An essential problem in the design of holographic algorithms is to decide whether the required signatures can be realized under a suitable basis transformation (SRP). For holographic algorithms with matchgates on domain size 2, , ,  and  have built a systematical theory. In this paper, we reduce SRP on domain size k≥3$k\ge 3$ to SRP on domain size 2 for holographic algorithms with matchgates on bases of rank 2. Furthermore, we generalize the collapse theorem of [3] to domain size k≥3$k\ge 3$.     

Impacts of new technologies on media usage and social behaviour in domestic environments

Technological infrastructure at home is changing continuously and is becoming increasingly interconnected. Media devices, including the TV set, provide access to the Internet and offer manifold opportunities to consume media on demand. Additionally, personal devices, such as smartphones, also enable flexible consumption and sharing of media. Questions about how these technologies change the user's media usage and how these changes affect the social structure of a household, however, remain largely unanswered. In order to gain insight into the adoption of new technologies into daily routines, we explored these changes in respect of people's media usage in a qualitative long-term Living Lab study. We will present findings regarding personal routines, flexible integration of new devices into existing practices, influences on households as social systems and related issues in device access and collective use. We will highlight potentials and conflicts regarding device shifts and roles; restrictions in device access; social influences in the living room; and individual changes in media consumption.     

Effects of additives on the electrodeposition of tin from an acidic Sn(II) bath

Additive effects of formaldehyde, propionaldehyde and benzaldehyde on the deposition of tin in acidic solution of tin(II) sulfate have been investigated. The effects of these additives on cathodic polarization and a.c. impedance was measured by galvanostatic or potentiostatic methods, respectively. The reduction products of the aldehyde during the deposition and the diffusion coefficient of Sn(II) in various solutions were also determined.

Dynamic response of Ti3SiC2 under shock compression up to 112 GPa

Ti₃SiC₂ is of interest due to its unique dual nature reminiscent of both brittle ceramics and ductile metals at ambient conditions. In this work, plate-impact experiments have been performed to study the dynamic behavior of Ti₃SiC₂ under shock compression up to 112 GPa by using laser velocity interferometer and electric pin techniques. Hugoniot elastic limits (HEL), spall strength, and Hugoniot equations of state have been obtained based on measured particle velocity profiles and shock wave velocities. The ratio of spall strength to HEL for Ti₃SiC₂ is larger than brittle ceramics but smaller than metals. This result indicates that the dual nature of Ti₃SiC₂ remains at least up to 10 GPa. On the other hand, the linearity of the Hugoniot equation of state, $D=6.9\text{0}1(22)+1.153(53)u_{\text{p}}$, suggests that the initial structure of Ti₃SiC₂ should be stable up to 112 GPa, in contrast to the result reported by Jordan et al. [J. Appl. Phys., 93 (2003) 9639].     

Using a virtual environment to assess cognition in the elderly

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is essential if treatments are to be administered at an earlier point in time before neurons degenerate to a stage beyond repair. In order for early detection to occur tools used to detect the disorder must be sensitive to the earliest of cognitive impairments. Virtual reality technology offers opportunities to provide products which attempt to mimic daily life situations, as much as is possible, within the computational environment. This may be useful for the detection of cognitive difficulties. We develop a virtual simulation designed to assess visuospatial memory in order to investigate cognitive function in a group of healthy elderly participants and those with a mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Participants were required to guide themselves along a virtual path to reach a virtual destination which they were required to remember. The preliminary results indicate that this virtual simulation has the potential to be used for detection of early AD since significant correlations of scores on the virtual environment with existing neuropsychological tests were found. Furthermore, the test discriminated between healthy elderly participants and those with a MCI.

以低相对分子质量生物可降解D，L-聚乳酸(D，L-PLA)二醇和六亚甲基二异氰酸酯(HDI)为原料、1，4-丁二醇(BD)为扩链剂及聚乙烯基吡咯烷酮(PVP)为悬浮剂，通过悬浮聚合法初步合成了一种新型聚氨酯微球(PUMS)。用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)考察了BD的含量对微球表面形态的影响，通过激光粒度分析仪讨论了搅拌速率和PVP浓度对微球粒径及其分布的影响，用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)粒度分析仪对微球的化学结构进行了表征。结果表明，合成的微球的平均粒径随搅拌速率和PVP浓度的增加而减少，粒径分布变宽；当搅拌速率为400r／min，PVP质量分数为1．5％时。微球的平均粒径约47μm，粒径分布最窄。约在10～90μm；微球表面有孔，但随着BD含量的增加，微球表面变得相对粗糙，孔数减少，孔径减小，直至孔消失。     

In situ composite of nano SiO2-P(VDF-HFP) porous polymer electrolytes for Li-ion batteries

Nano SiO₂-P(VDF-HFP) composite porous membranes were prepared as the matrix of porous polymer electrolytes through in situ composite method based on hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane and phase inversion. SEM, TEM, DSC and AC impedance analysis were carried out. It is found that the in situ prepared nano silica was homogeneously dispersed in the polymeric matrix, enhanced conductivity and electrochemical stability of porous polymer electrolytes, and improved the stability of the electrolytes against lithium metal electrodes. The in situ composite method was found to be much better than the direct composite method in lowering the interfacial resistance between electrolyte and lithium metal electrode. Moreover, cycle test of lithium batteries using lithium metal as anode and sulfur composite material as cathode showed that the electrolyte based on in situ composite of silica presented stable charge-discharge behavior and little capacity loss of battery.
