Laplacian group sparse modeling of human actions

Recently, many local-feature based methods have been proposed for feature learning to obtain a better high-level representation of human behavior. Most of the previous research ignores the structural information existing among local features in the same video sequences, while it is an important clue to distinguish ambiguous actions. To address this issue, we propose a Laplacian group sparse coding for human behavior representation. Unlike traditional methods such as sparse coding, our approach prefers to encode a group of relevant features simultaneously and meanwhile allow as less atoms as possible to participate in the approximation so that video-level sparsity is guaranteed. By incorporating Laplacian regularization the method is capable to ensure the similar approximation of closely related local features and the structural information is successfully preserved. Thus, a compact but discriminative human behavior representation is achieved. Besides, the objective of our model is solved with a closed-form solution, which reduces the computational cost significantly. Promising results on several popular benchmark datasets prove the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach.

Deterministic transmission of an arbitrary single-photon polarization state through bit-flip error channel

We present two error-tolerance transmission protocols of a single-photon polarization state when bit-flip error is taken into account. For achieving the transmission target of the single-photon state, the first protocol needs to encode it to a nonmaximally entangled Bell state. Exploiting the interaction of the polarization entanglement with spatial entanglement between two photons, its success probability is 100 %. Different from the first protocol, the second one utilizes the idea of teleportation with an auxiliary Bell state. By performing quantum nondemolition measurement to analyze the parity, conventional measurement, and unitary transformation operations, the success probability of the second protocol is approximately unity. Furthermore, the second protocol can be generalized to the error-tolerance transmission of an arbitrary mixed state or the distribution of an arbitrary multi-photon entangled state.     

A new model for Brownian force and the application to simulating nanofluid flow

A new expression is proposed to simulate Brownian force based on the experimental measurement results of Brownian motion, which follows white Gaussian noise process. As the time t → 0 and the particle density is equal to the fluid density, the new expression approaches the classical formula of the model used by many researchers. The modified model is validated by theoretical and experimental data. On the other hand, as it origins from the unbalanced force exerted by surrounding fluid molecules, the drag analogy force model is constructed describing the Brownian force, which depends on size-related statistical velocity. Thus, a different expression for the Langevin equation is presented. The present model is applied in simulating flow and heat transfer in a channel utilizing alumina–water nanofluid. Navier–Stokes equations with modified source terms for the continuous flow have been discretized using finite element method. The velocities and temperatures of nanoparticles are determined in the Lagrangian reference frame. The simulation results show that the distribution of nanoparticles inside the channel is obviously unsteady and nonuniform. The fluid velocity and temperature profiles show significant fluctuation feature at low Reynolds numbers (Re). The impact of Brownian motion on the fluid flow is analyzed quantitatively. We have found that for Re < 0.06, the affected intensity increases rapidly.

A Normalization Method of Moment Invariants for 3D Objects on Different Manifolds

3D objects can be stored in computer of different describing ways, such as point set, polyline, polygonal surface and Euclidean distance map. Moment invariants of different orders may have the different magnitude. A method for normalizing moments of 3D objects is proposed, which can set the values of moments of different orders roughly in the same range and be applied to different 3D data formats universally. Then accurate computation of moments for several objects is presented and experiments show that this kind of normalization is very useful for moment invariants in 3D objects analysis and recognition.     

High catalytic activity of PdOx/MnO2 for CO oxidation and importance of oxidation state of Mn

PdO_x/MnO₂ has been examined as a catalyst for CO oxidation using a conventional flow reactor at reaction temperatures between 50 and 150°C. In the reaction conditions of GHSV (gashourlyspacevelocity) of 1.22 × 10⁵/h and CO concentration of 2000 ppm, PdO_x/MnO₂ showed higher catalytic activity compared with PdO_x/Mn₂O₃, which had been previously reported as an effective catalyst due to the cooperative action of Pd and Mn₂O₃ for this reaction. The reason for higher activity of PdO_x/MnO₂ than PdO_x/Mn₂O₃ has been investigated using TPR (temperatureprogrammed reduction) and XPS studies. TPR showed that PdO_x/MnO₂ could be reduced by CO at much lower temperature than PdO_x/Mn₂O₃. During the experiment of reduction and oxidation, XPS showed that the valence of Mn in the PdO_x/MnO₂ was between 4+ and 3+, which is higher than that of Mn in the PdO_x/Mn₂O₃ catalyst of which the valence has been reported to be between 3+ and 2+. It is known that in this catalyst system the support supplies oxygen onto Pd, where the oxidation occurs with adsorbed CO, and the ability of the support to provide oxygen improves the performance of the catalyst. Therefore, it was concluded that the readiness of MnO₂ to be reduced with maintaining a higher oxidation state showed higher CO oxidation activity than Mn₂O₃ as support for PdO_x.     

Nanocrystalline CeO2 in SBA-15: Performance of Pt/CeO2/SBA-15 Catalyst for Water-gas-shift Reaction

CeO₂ particles confined within the pores of an SBA-15 mesoporous silica host were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation (IMP) and deposition precipitation (DP) methods. The materials were characterized by XRD, N₂-adsorption and temperature programmed reduction (TPR) to evaluate the structure, texture, and redox properties. The preparation procedure had significant impact on the assembling mode of CeO₂ inside the SBA-15 mesopores. A high dispersion of CeO₂ particles was achieved via DP, whereas the dispersion of CeO₂ prepared by IMP was found to be inhomogeneous and CeO₂ partially blocked the pores. The CO conversion in the water-gas-shift reaction was enhanced over 1 wt% Pt supported on CeO₂-modified SBA-15 obtained by DP.
