Rapid and efficient image restoration technique based on new adaptive anisotropic diffusion function

The anisotropic diffusion is an efficient smoothing process. It is widely used in noise removing and edges preserving via different schemes. In this paper based on a mathematical background and the existing efficient anisotropic function in the literature we developed a new mathematical anisotropic diffusion function which is able to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional process such as the details loss and the image blur. The simulations results and the comparative study with other recent techniques are conducted and showed that the proposed schema generates a wide improvement in the quality of the restored images. This improvement has been shown subjectively in terms of visual quality, and objectively with reference to the computation of some criteria. The simulated images are well de-noised but the most important is that details and structural information are kept intact. In addition to that, the proposed new function was found very interesting and presents numerous advantages like its similarity to the conventional model and the importance of the speed hence it converges faster which allows an opportunity to be well implemented in our de-noising process.     

Multi-scale cross entropy analysis for inclined oil–water two-phase countercurrent flow patterns

The flow of an oil–water two-phase fluid in an inclined pipe exhibits fundamentally different behaviors to that of a vertical two-phase flow, especially the flow commonly presents complex countercurrent flow structure due to the influence of gravity. The understanding of inclined oil–water flow is of important significance for flow measurement and production optimization. We using multi-scale cross entropy (MSCE) analysis investigate the nonlinear dynamics of inclined water-dominated oil–water two-phase flow patterns which are Dispersion oil-in-water-Pseudoslugs (D O/W PS), Dispersion oil-in-water-Countercurrent (D O/W CT) and Transitional Flow (TF). We find that the rate of low-scale cross entropy can effectively identify flow patterns, and the high-scale cross entropy can represent their long-range dynamics. The research results show that the multi-scale cross entropy analysis can be a helpful tool for revealing nonlinear dynamics of inclined oil–water two-phase flow in terms of microscopic and macroscopic views.     

Conductance of Graphene Nanoribbon Junctions and the Tight Binding Model

Planar carbon-based electronic devices, including metal/semiconductor junctions, transistors and interconnects, can now be formed from patterned sheets of graphene. Most simulations of charge transport within graphene-based electronic devices assume an energy band structure based on a nearest-neighbour tight binding analysis. In this paper, the energy band structure and conductance of graphene nanoribbons and metal/semiconductor junctions are obtained using a third nearest-neighbour tight binding analysis in conjunction with an efficient nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. We find significant differences in both the energy band structure and conductance obtained with the two approximations.     

Effect of ITO electrode on conductance quantization and multi-level cells in TiN/SiOx/ITO devices

In this work, we study TiN/SiO_x/ITO devices to implement conductance quantization and multilevel conductance for high-density memory applications. We observed stepwise conductance with integer and half-integer multiples under pulse and DC voltages. We predict this device's conductance quantization to be a combined result of the formation and rupture of oxygen vacancies in SiO_x film and the formation of O₂^?rich ITO layers due to the oxidation reaction between ITO and SiO_x. Furthermore, it was found that TiN/SiO_x/ITO RRAM devices could stably endure each conductance level.     

A new electric conductance conversion method suitable for very low power applications

This article describes a new electrical conductance converter method suitable for low power applications and an implementation in standard CMOS technology. Despite being designed to meet specific measurements requirements, this converter is intended for applications where device power requirements are determinative such self powered sensors networks and implantable devices. The topology is described and an implementation is presented. Results show the possibility of being powered by a single 1.2 V accumulator cell with a consumption of 8 nJ per conversion.

聚酰亚胺(Polyimide,PI)膜是一种新型的有机膜,具有耐高温、耐强酸和耐辐射等特性,用其制备的重离子微孔膜可以用于电池隔膜和放射性废气过滤等特殊领域。应用中国原子能科学研究院HI-13串列加速器产生的重离子束32S离子轰击25?m的PI薄膜,再对薄膜进行化学蚀刻处理,使由重离子辐照损伤产生的径迹形成微孔。为改善微孔质量,在化学蚀刻前采用具有强氧化性溶液对PI膜进行预处理浸泡,系统分析了常温下采用高锰酸钾和双氧水两种溶液浸泡不同时间对PI膜化学蚀刻的影响。实验结果显示,预处理浸泡可明显加快PI膜的径迹蚀刻速率,缩短蚀刻时间,减小微孔的锥角和提高PI重离子微孔膜的蚀刻质量。

Ab initio simulations of the mechanics and electrical transport of Pt nanowires

Based on first principles, theoretical studies of atomic-scale platinum contacts are presented. A short monatomic wire freely suspended between tips is seen to vibrate as its tensile load increases. The main vibration mode is transversal for lower tensions and longitudinal for higher tensions up to the breaking of the nanowire. The computed conductance exhibits oscillation in the sub-picosecond regime that can be well correlated to the mechanical oscillations of the nanowire. Both the values for the maximum tensile load and the average conductance agree well with available experimental measurements.
