It was synthesized using terbium and trimesic acid as a metal ion center and ligand, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy were employed to characterize the synthesized MOF-76 structural features. According to the results, MOF-76 was successfully obtained with minor synthetic modification and its activated form(named TbTMA) was tested as a sensor for methanol. Tb^(3+) luminescence intensity increases as the methanol concentration in ethanol fuel also increases and the water content does not affect this response. Our findings indicate TbTMA as an appropriate sensor for evaluating ethanol fuel adulteration by methanol addition above the allowed limit.展开更多

For this reason, we propose a unified framework of the TWLS method for joint estimation of multiple disjoint sources and sensor locations in this paper. Unlike some existing works, the presented method is based on more general measurement model, and therefore it can be applied to many different localization scenarios.Besides, it does not have the initialization and local convergence problem. The closed-form expression for the covariance matrix of the proposed TWLS estimator is also derived by exploiting the first-order perturbation analysis. Moreover, the estimation accuracy of the TWLS method is shown analytically to achieve the Cramér-Rao Bound(CRB) before the threshold effect takes place. The theoretical analysis is also performed in a common mathematical framework, rather than aiming at some specific signal metrics. Finally, two numerical experiments are performed to support the theoretical development in this paper.展开更多
A Cd-containing metal–organic framework（Cd L）, formula as {[Cd_3（L）_2（H_2O）_6] 1.5DMF}, has been synthesized under solvothermal condition by the reaction of 4,40,400-（methylsilanetriyl）tribenzoic acid（H_3L）...A Cd-containing metal–organic framework（Cd L）, formula as {[Cd_3（L）_2（H_2O）_6] 1.5DMF}, has been synthesized under solvothermal condition by the reaction of 4,40,400-（methylsilanetriyl）tribenzoic acid（H_3L） and Cd^（2＋）ion. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that Cd L displays a three-dimensional framework with 2-fold interpenetration and DMF molecules locate in the void space of the channels. A topological analysis of the framework indicates Cd Lisa 3,4-connected pto net. The photoluminescence properties of Cd L are systematically studied in detail. Impressively, Cd L shows excellent detection performance towards Fe^（3＋）ion and acetone in the sensing experiments, which undoubtedly demonstrates the great potential of Cd L as a highly selective multi-responsive luminescent sensor for the detection of organic solvents and metal ions.展开更多

Metal–organic frameworks(MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers, are a fascinating class of highly ordered crystalline coordination polymers formed by the coordination of metal ions/clusters and organic bridging linkers/ligands. Owing to their unique structures and properties,i.e., high surface area, tailorable pore size, high density of active sites, and high catalytic activity, various MOF-based sensing platforms have been reported for environmental contaminant detection including anions, heavy metal ions,organic compounds, and gases. In this review, recent progress in MOF-based environmental sensors is introduced with a focus on optical, electrochemical, and field-effect transistor sensors. The sensors have shown unique and promising performance in water and gas contaminant sensing. Moreover, by incorporation with other functional materials, MOF-based composites can greatly improve the sensor performance. The current limitations and future directions of MOF-based sensors are also discussed.展开更多

Due to the heterogeneity of sensor networks using the web architecture, cross layer mechanism can be implemented for integrating multiple resources. Framework for Sensor Web using the cross layer scheduling mechanisms in the grid environment is proposed in this paper. The resource discovery and the energy efficient data aggregation schemes are used to improvise the effective utilization capability in the Sensor Web. To collaborate with multiple resources environment, the grid computing concept is integrated with sensor web. Resource discovery and the scheduling schemes in the grid architecture are organized using the medium access control protocol. The various cross layer metrics proposed are Memory Awareness, Task Awareness and Energy Awareness. Based on these metrics, the parameters-Node Waiting Status, Used CPU Status, Average System Utilization, Average Utilization per Cluster, Cluster Usage per Hour and Node Energy Status are determined for the integrated heterogeneous WSN with sensor web in Grid Environment. From the comparative analysis, it is shown that sensor grid architecture with middleware framework has better resource awareness than the normal sensor network architectures.展开更多

Employing clustering techniques in such networks can achieve balanced energy consumption of member nodes and prolong the network lifetimes.In classical clustering techniques, clustering and in-cluster data routes are usually separated into independent operations. Although separate considerations of these two issues simplify the system design, it is often the non-optimal lifetime expectancy for wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes an integral framework that integrates these two correlated items in an interactive entirety. For that,we develop the clustering problems using nonlinear programming. Evolution process of clustering is provided in simulations. Results show that our joint-design proposal reaches the near optimal match between member nodes and cluster heads.展开更多

Complexes 1 ([Co(TEPA)(TPT)2/3]·2DMF·H2O) and 2 ([Co(EPA)(TPT)]·1.5DMF·1.5H2O) show excellent luminescence properties. Meanwhile, as fluorescent sensors, complexes 1 and 2 exhibit selectivity and sensitivity for Fe3+ with the Ksv of 1.520 ×104 L/mol and 3.543 ×104 L/mol, which can rapidly detect nitroaromatic compounds in methanol and ethanol, especially for 2,4-NPH through fluorescence quenching with high quenching efficiency. In particular, the Ksv value of complexes 1 and 2 towards 2,4-NPH can reach up to 1.627 ×105 L/mol and 9.600 ×104 L/mol, demonstrating that complexes 1 and 2 are good candidates for the identification and detection of Fe3+and nitroaromatic compounds.展开更多

A general frame-work for key predistribution is presented, based on the idea of KDC (Key Distribution Center) and polyno-mial pool schemes. By utilizing nice properties of H2 (Hierarchical Hypercube) model, a new security mechanism for key predistribution based on such model is also proposed. Furthermore, the working per-formance of tolerance resistance is seriously inspected in this paper. Theoretic analysis and experimental fig-ures show that the algorithm addressed in this paper has better performance and provides higher possibilities for sensor to establish pairwise key, compared with previous related works.展开更多
