An efficient parallel strategy for the perfect domination problem on distance-hereditary graphs

A graph is distance-hereditary if the distance stays the same between any of two vertices in every connected induced subgraph containing both. Two well-known classes of graphs, trees and cographs, both belong to distance-hereditary graphs. In this paper, we first show that the perfect domination problem can be solved in sequential linear-time on distance-hereditary graphs. By sketching some regular property of the problem, we also show that it can be easily parallelized on distance-hereditary graphs.

An efficient reliable broadcasting protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks

The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) has recently been recognized as an attractive network architecture for wireless communication. Reliable broadcast is an important operation in MANET (e.g., giving orders, searching routes, and notifying important signals). However, using a naive flooding to achieve reliable broadcasting may be very costly, causing a lot of contention, collision, and congestion, to which we refer as the broadcast storm problem. This paper proposes an efficient reliable broadcasting protocol by taking care of the potential broadcast storm problem that could occur in the medium-access level. Existing protocols are either unreliable, or reliable but based on a too costly approach. Our protocol differs from existing protocols by adopting a low-cost broadcast, which does not guarantee reliability, as a basic operation. The reliability is ensured by additional acknowledgement and handshaking. Simulation results do justify the efficiency of the proposed protocol.     

Formation and surface modification of self-assembled films with acrylated hyperbranched poly(ester-amine) as the outmost layer

An acrylated hyperbranched poly(ester-amine) (HPEA) synthesized from piperazine and trimethylolpropanetriacrylate at a molar ratio of 1:1.42 was used as the polycation to form self-assembled films by layer-by-layer dipping with poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate) as the polyanion. The surface morphology and hydrophilicity of the films with HPEA as the outmost layer were controlled by adjusting the solution pH of HPEA. Due to the existence of many acrylate groups, the films with HPEA as the outmost layer were further reacted with a series of reagents, including piperazine, piperidine, laurylamine and p-phenylenediamine. The surface reactions of the films depended on both the nature of the reagents and the morphology of the initial surface. In the presence of the strong basic amines, piperazine and piperidine, the films dissolved extensively into the solution. In the case of laurylamine, a modified film with an opaque appearance was obtained due to the crystallization of long alkyl chains. With the weak basic amine p-phenylenediamine as the reactant, the film was effectively modified without any change in the surface morphology.

P–I diagram method for combined failure modes of rigid-plastic beams

Closed-form solutions of pressure-impulse (P–I) diagrams for simply supported and fully clamped rigid-plastic beams subjected to impact load are developed. Two failure categories, i.e., bending failure and shear failure, are considered and the responses of the beams are analyzed based on five transverse velocity profiles. With proper failure criteria, the critical P–I equations for bending and shear failure are derived. After the simplification of the critical P–I equations, the influences of the shear-to-bending strength ratio and the boundary conditions on the P–I diagrams are discussed. The results are compared with those based on a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) model. It is shown that the proposed P–I diagram method can be conveniently applied to assess beam damage extents and damage patterns. Especially, the P–I diagrams have good agreement with those based on an elastic, perfectly plastic model when severe damage occurs.     

Quantification of the layer dispersion degree in polymer layered silicate nanocomposites by transmission electron microscopy

As the performance of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites strongly depends on their interior layer dispersion, quantification of the layer dispersion degree is needed. In this work, a new methodology was developed to determine the dispersion parameter D_0.1, based on the measurement of the free-path spacing distance between the single clay sheets from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Several examples of exfoliated, intercalated, and immiscible composites were studied. It was found that the exfoliated composites had D_0.1 over 8%, while that of intercalated composites were between 4 and 8%. In the case of intercalation, a high frequency peak appeared at a short spacing distance in the histogram, which was a characteristic of the intercalation, distinct from the exfoliation. The main utility of this TEM methodology is for the quantification of exfoliated or intercalated samples with small number of layers with stacks. The dispersion parameter D_0.1 below 4% was suggested to classify as immiscible. A unique advantage of the TEM measurement is that the dispersion degree of different fillers can be counted individually.     

Facile synthesis of ordered nanocrystalline alumina thin films with tunable mesopore structures

Mesoporous alumina layers have attracted attention for their potential use in ultrafiltration of salts, as a heterogeneous catalyst support, an adsorbent in environmental cleanup, and in petroleum refinement. The ability to control the fast hydrolysis rate of the inorganic precursors using simple and inexpensive routes is important for that potential to be realized. Herein, we introduce a novel and facile route to synthesize mesoporous alumina thin films from the combination of inexpensive and commercially available copolymer with aluminum chloride or nitrate (salts) in an EtOH–surfactant–NH₃ · H₂O–salts (EsNs) system through the evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method. Mesoporous alumina layers obtained utilizing the EsNs system have ordered and tunable pore structures. The ability to easily control the mesophases of the alumina layers within a short time provides distinct advantages over previously reported synthesis procedures. Most importantly, we demonstrate that the binding of surfactant and NH₃ · H₂O for the formation of hydrogen bond between them in the EsNs system controls the fast hydrolysis rate of the inorganic species. This allows for the synthesis of nanocrystalline alumina layers via the aluminum oxo-clusters’ assembly with the surfactant. Such simple route may be applied in the synthesis of other non-silica mesostructured oxides.
