The phosphorus-functionalized cycloheptatrienyl cyclopentadienyl (Cht Cp) titanium sandwich complex [(η7-C7H7)Ti(η5-C5H4PtBu2)] ( 7 ) forms a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) in combination with the borane B(C6F5)3, and this FLP undergoes heterolytic cleavage of dihydrogen and fixation of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide with a noticeable colorimetric response, which is visible to the naked eye. In their UV/Vis spectra, the H2, CO2 and N2O fixation products exhibit a bathochromic shift of the absorption band that can be assigned to a HOMO LUMO excitation of the Cht Cp titanium (troticene) moiety. 相似文献
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been as useful and beneficial as resource-constrained distributed event-based system for several scenarios. Yet, in WSN, optimisation of limited resources (energy, computing memory, bandwidth and storage) during data collection and communication process is a major challenge. Data redundancy involves a large consumption of sensor resources during processing and transferring information to an analysis centre. As a matter of fact, most of energy consumption (as much as 80%) for standard WSN applications lies in the radio module where receiving and sending packets is necessary to communicate between stations. Thus, this paper proposes an approach to achieve optimal sensor resources by data compression and aggregation regarding integrity of raw data. Then, the main objective is to reduce this redundancy by discarding a certain number of packets of information and keeping only the most meaningful and informative ones for the reconstruction. Data aggregation discarded a certain sensing data packet, which lead to low data-rate communication and low likelihood of packet collisions on the wireless medium. Data compression reduces a redundancy in keeping aggregated data, in order to diminish resources consumption of wireless sensor nodes, which leads to storage saving and sending only a small data stream in the bandwidth of communication. The performances of the proposed approach DDCA-WSN are qualified using experimental simulation on OMNeT++/Castalia. The performance metrics were evaluated in terms of Compression Ratio (CR), data Aggregation Rate (AR), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE) and Energy Consumption (EC).The obtained results have significantly increased the network lifetime. Moreover, the integrity (quality) of the raw data is guaranteed.
We fabricated three-dimensional silicon nanopillar array (SiNP)-based photovoltaic (PV) devices using PbS quantum dots (QDs) as the hole-transporting layers. The core-shell structured device, which is based on high aspect ratio SiNPs standing on roughed silicon substrates, displays a higher PV performance with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.53% compared with that of the planar device (2.11%). The enhanced PCE is ascribed to the increased light absorption and the improved charge carrier collections in SiNP-modified silicon surfaces. We also show that, for the core-shell structured device, the thickness of the shell layer plays a critical role in enhancing the PV performance and around five monolayers of QDs are preferred for efficient hole-transporting. Wafer-scale PV devices with a radial PbS/SiNP heterojunction can be fabricated by solution phase techniques at low temperatures, suggesting a facile route to fabricate unique three-dimensional nanostructured devices. 相似文献
The study of the physical and mechanical properties of raffia vinifera fibers along the stem is examined in this work. In central Africa, these fibers are already being used by craftsmen in the field of textile and decoration. The cross-section of fibers is higher at the base of the stem and grows from the periphery toward the center on a transverse position. By the Archimedes method, the obtained bulk density was between 0.1288 g/cm3 and 0.2368 g/cm3 and in a transverse position, it increases from the center toward the periphery. The dynamic tensile tests were used to estimate the Young’s modulus that lies among 0.88 GPa and 7.9 GPa and the low values are at the base of the stem. The specific Young’s modulus was deduced and varied from 7.33 GPa/(g/cm3) and 66.00 GPa/(g/cm3). Finally, through the strain, the microfibril angle was found and it is oscillated from 29.81° to 48.65°. 相似文献
We demonstrated a novel, simple, and low-cost method to fabricate silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays and silicon nanohole (SiNH) arrays based on thin silver (Ag) film dewetting process combined with metal-assisted chemical etching. Ag mesh with holes and semispherical Ag nanoparticles can be prepared by simple thermal annealing of Ag thin film on a silicon substrate. Both the diameter and the distribution of mesh holes as well as the nanoparticles can be manipulated by the film thickness and the annealing temperature. The silicon underneath Ag coverage was etched off with the catalysis of metal in an aqueous solution containing HF and an oxidant, which form silicon nanostructures (either SiNW or SiNH arrays). The morphologies of the corresponding etched SiNW and SiNH arrays matched well with that of Ag holes and nanoparticles. This novel method allows lithography-free fabrication of the SiNW and SiNH arrays with control of the size and distribution. 相似文献
Investigations were conducted to determine the presence of mycotoxigenic fungi in maize samples from Cameroon. The deep freezing blotter method, and the medium DG-18, with and without 1% sodium hypochlorite surface sterilization pre-treatment, were used. The plated grains were incubated for 7 days under a cycle of 12 h (NUV) daylight and 12 h darkness. Fusarium pallidoroseum was found infecting 1-2% of the tested grains. Eleven samples out of 65 tested were found infected, 2 samples from the locality of Melong in the humid forest agro-ecological zone with monomodal rainfall, 1 from Foumbot and 2 from Bamenda in the highlands agro-ecological zone, and 6 from Yaounde, in the humid forest with bimodal rainfall agro-ecological zone. An infection rate of 2% of the grains was found on blotter paper while only 1% was recorded on the reduced water activity medium DG-18, with or without surface sterilization. F. pallidoroseum is reported here for the first time from maize samples of Cameroon. This underlines the need for detailed research on toxigenic fungi and the improvement of common storage practices to avoid mycotoxin contamination and the resulting human and animal health problems. 相似文献
