Effects of silicone oil and polymeric modifiers on the mechanical properties of highly filled LLDPE

The effects of coupling agents, silicone oil, and three types of polymeric modifiers on the mechanical properties of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) composites highly filled with aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)₃] were studied. Polymeric modifiers that contain polar groups, such as silane‐grafted polyethylene (Si‐g‐PE) and acrylic‐acid‐grafted ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (AA‐g‐EVA), improve the mechanical properties dramatically, while nonpolar modifiers improve them to some extent. When Al(OH)₃ was treated using a titanate coupling agent, the silicone oil increased the impact strength and elongation at break of the LLDPE/Al(OH)₃ composites. Introduction of a polymeric modifier containing polar groups destroys the beneficial effects of silicone oil on film mechanical properties, while the introduction of a nonpolar elastomeric polymeric modifier retains the high impact strength and elongation at break. SEM analyses provide the indirect evidence of the encapsulation of silicone oil around the filler. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 121–128, 2002     

基于边缘敏感的SLIC和二次密度聚类的GGO分割

针对磨玻璃肺结节(Ground Glass Opacity,GGO)边界对比度低、大小各异和灰度不均匀等造成分割准确率低的问题,提出一种基于边缘敏感的SLIC和二次密度聚类相结合的分割算法。将图像边缘检测结果与SLIC超像素算法相结合,并将其中含有边缘的超像素块用区域质心代替其原始聚类中心,改善SLIC边界黏连性较差的问题;针对密度聚类不能完整分割GGO的问题,提出二次密度聚类的方法,对密度聚类定位到的簇及其邻域簇进行二次密度聚类。实验结果表明,该算法分割GGO的平均准确率达90.17%,灵敏度达84%。     

基于自然最近邻的密度峰值聚类算法

针对密度峰值聚类算法(Density Peaks Clustering,DPC)需要人为指定截断距离d c,以及局部密度定义简单和一步分配策略导致算法在复杂数据集上表现不佳的问题,提出了一种基于自然最近邻的密度峰值聚类算法(Density Peaks Clustering based on Natural Nearest Neighbor,NNN-DPC)。该算法无需指定任何参数,是一种非参数的聚类方法。该算法首先根据自然最近邻的定义,给出新的局部密度计算方法来描述数据的分布,揭示内在的联系;然后设计了两步分配策略来进行样本点的划分。最后定义了簇间相似度并提出了新的簇合并规则进行簇的合并,从而得到最终聚类结果。实验结果表明,在无需参数的情况下,NNN-DPC算法在各类数据集上都有优秀的泛化能力,对于流形数据或簇间密度差异大的数据能更加准确地识别聚类数目和分配样本点。与DPC、FKNN-DPC(Fuzzy Weighted K-nearest Density Peak Clustering)以及其他3种经典聚类算法的性能指标相比,NNN-DPC算法更具优势。

使用密度泛函理论方法研究了量子点(CdSe)2与配体L(L=PH3、PH2Me、PHMe2、PMe3、NH3、NH2Me、NHMe2、NMe3)之间的相互作用及其产物的结构和性质。配体中的P或N原子与Cd原子上分别形成较强的Cd—P和Cd—N配位键,从而影响(CdSe)2的结构和电子性质。配体作用下,(CdSe)2的几何结构、电荷分布、轨道能级、吸收光谱等均发生变化,但2类配体的影响,尤其是甲基数目的影响,存在较大差异。     

A pseudo-spectral scheme for the approximate solution of a time-fractional diffusion equation

We consider an initial-boundary-value problem for a time-fractional diffusion equation with initial condition u₀(x) and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded interval [0, L]. We study a semidiscrete approximation scheme based on the pseudo-spectral method on Chebyshev–Gauss–Lobatto nodes. In order to preserve the high accuracy of the spectral approximation we use an approach based on the evaluation of the Mittag-Leffler function on matrix arguments for the integration along the time variable. Some examples are presented and numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Mutual spectral residual approach for multifocus image fusion

Multifocus image fusion is the process of obtaining a single image from multiple partially focused images such that the newly formed image consists of the well-defined information extracted from each source image. This paper proposes the use of saliency of the source images based on Mutual Spectral Residual. Spectral Residual brings out the unique/salient features of an image in frequency domain. The idea of proposed mutual spectral residual is to emphasize the relative unique features of a source image with respect to the other source images. The relative unique features are utilized to form saliency maps for each source image. These saliency maps can clearly indicate the focused and defocused parts of an image. Based on the saliency maps obtained, the image fusion takes place in spatial domain. Visual inspection and quantitative evaluation of the fused images obtained by the proposed method, using different evaluation metrics, demonstrate its effectiveness over several existing image fusion methods.     

Distribution, relative abundance, and prey demand by double-crested cormorants on Manitoulin Island lakes vs. Lake Huron Coast

An aerial distance sampling survey of double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) was conducted in the northern region of Lake Huron (North Channel; four largest lakes of Manitoulin Island; South Shore of Manitoulin Is. facing the main body of the lake) to assess the relative distribution, abundance and prey demand by cormorants on inland lake vs. coastal habitat. On a per area basis, the density (approx. 1-2 cormorants ? km^− 2) and prey demand (approx. 1.2 kg ha^− 1) of cormorants in the four inland lakes matched that of the North Channel. The South Shore had approximately half the density and prey demand as the other two areas. Cormorants on the inland lakes of Manitoulin Island represented 13% early in the season and a high of 33% of the total population for this region of Lake Huron later in the summer. Estimating regional distributions of cormorants within the Great Lakes basin is important because mapped nest colonies and nest counts are not representative of the actual distribution of foraging cormorants during and after the nesting season. There are two general conclusions to emerge from this survey. First, aquatic productivity from both Great Lakes coast and inland lakes contributes to trends in population and distribution of cormorants in the northern region of Lake Huron and perhaps elsewhere. Second, inland aquatic ecosystems are important throughout a season for foraging cormorants from the Great Lakes and may become more important as Great Lake productivity trends downward.
