文摘The fusion of infrared and visible images should emphasize the salient targets in the infrared image while preserving the textural details of the visible images.To meet these requirements,an autoencoder-based method for infrared and visible image fusion is proposed.The encoder designed according to the optimization objective consists of a base encoder and a detail encoder,which is used to extract low-frequency and high-frequency information from the image.This extraction may lead to some information not being captured,so a compensation encoder is proposed to supplement the missing information.Multi-scale decomposition is also employed to extract image features more comprehensively.The decoder combines low-frequency,high-frequency and supplementary information to obtain multi-scale features.Subsequently,the attention strategy and fusion module are introduced to perform multi-scale fusion for image reconstruction.Experimental results on three datasets show that the fused images generated by this network effectively retain salient targets while being more consistent with human visual perception.
文摘An efficient visible-light induced nickel-catalyzed reductive Heck reaction of alkenes by using mild organic reductant Hantzsch ester(HEH)instead of traditional metal reductants or hydride reagents was developed.The reductive hydroarylation of acrylates with aryl halides was successfully achieved without requiring exogenous photoredox catalysts.This reaction is highlighted by the simple and mild conditions,good functional group tolerance,thus providing a complementary approach for alkenes reductive Heck reaction.

文摘Elemental doping is an effective strategy for tuning the band structure of graphite carbon nitride(CN)to enhance its photocatalytic performance.In this study,sodium(Na)and oxygen(O)co-doped carbon nitride(Na/O-CN_(x),x=1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0)was synthesized via solid-phase reaction of sodium citrate(NaCA)and pure CN powder in the Teflon-sealed autoclave under air conditions at 180℃.Surface area of Na/O-CN_(3.0) is measured to be 18.8 m^(2)/g,increasing by 60.7%compared to that of pure CN(11.7 m^(2)/g).Bandgap energy of Na/O-CN_(3.0) is determined to be 2.68 eV,marginally lower than that of pure CN(2.70 eV),thereby enhancing its capacity for sunlight absorption.Meanwhile,the incorporation of Na and O atoms into Na/O-CN_(x) is found to effectively reduce recombination rates of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.As a result,Na/O-CN_(x) samples exhibit markedly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity under visible light irradiation.Notably,the optimal Na/O-CN_(3.0) sample achieves a photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 103.2μmol·g^(–1)·h^(–1),which is 8.2 times greater than that of pure CN(11.2μmol·g^(–1)·h^(–1)).Furthermore,a series of Na/O-CN_(x)-yO_(2)(y=0,20%,40%,60%,80%,100%)samples were prepared by modulating the oxygen content within reaction atmosphere.The catalytic performance evaluations reveal that the incorporation of both Na and O atoms in Na/O-CN_(3.0) enhances photocatalytic activity.This study also introduces novel methodologies for synthesis of metal atom-doped CN materials at lower temperature,highlighting the synergistic effect of Na and O atoms in photocatalytic hydrogen production of Na/O-CN_(x) samples.

文摘Regulating the photo-response region of iron metal-organic frameworks(Fe-MOFs)is a viable strategy for enhancing their practical application in the visible-light driven photo-Fenton-like process.This study developed a novel pyrazine-based Fe-MOFs(MIL-101(Fe)-Pz)by substituting the 1,4-dicarboxybenzene acid ligands in typical MIL-101(Fe)with 2,5-pyrazinedicarboxylic acid(PzDC),in which sodium acetate was used as coordinative modulator to control the crystal size(2–3μm).The incorporation of Fe-pyridine N coordination structures originated from PzDC ligands gave MIL-101(Fe)-Pz narrowed band gap(1.45 eV)than MIL-101(Fe)(2.54 eV)resulting in improved visible-light adsorption capacity(λ>420 nm),and also increased the proportion of Fe(Ⅱ)in the Fe-clusters.Thus MIL-101(Fe)-Pz exhibited a synergistic enhanced photo-Fenton-like catalytic performance under visible-light irradiation.The MIL-101(Fe)-Pz/H_(2)O_(2)/Vis system could degrade 99%of sulfamethoxazolewithin 30min,whichwas 10-fold faster than that of the pristine MIL-101(Fe),it also effectively removed other organic micropollutants with high durability and stability.Mechanistic analysis revealed that the PzDC ligands substitution decreased the band gap of MIL-101(Fe),giving MIL-101(Fe)-Pz appropriate band structure(-0.40∼1.05 V vs.NHE)which can cover several light-driven process for the generation of reactive oxygen species,including Fe(Ⅲ)reduction and H_(2)O_(2) activation for accelerating•OH generation,as well as oxygen reduction reaction for generating H_(2)O_(2),O_(2)^(•−) and ^(1)O_(2).This study highlights the role of pyridine-N containing ligands in regulating the band structure of Fe-MOFs,providing valuable guidance for the design of Fe-MOFs photocatalysts.

文摘The world-class Jiaodong gold province in the North China Craton hosts over 5000 t of Au resource and is characterized by abundant visible gold mineralization.However,the critical processes controlling the formation of visible gold in this province remain poorly understood.To solve this problem,integrated microtextural,trace elemental,and sulfur isotopic analyses of pyrite from the high-grade Linglong gold deposit in the Jiaodong gold province were conducted in this study.Two distinct pyrite types were identified within auriferous quartz-sulfide veins:(1)Py1 aggregates in quartz-pyrite veins(hydrothermal stageⅡ),and(2)euhedral to subhedral,coarse-grained Py2 crystals in quartz-polymetallic sulfide veins(hydrothermal stageⅢ).Microtextural and elemental analyses revealed that visible gold predominantly occurs as intergranular particles between primary pyrite crystals within Py1 aggregates.The Py1 exhibits complex microtextures with abundant mineral inclusions of polymetallic sulfides and has low concentrations of Au(median:0.032 ppm)with a narrowδ^(34)S range(4.86‰-6.75‰),indicative of rapid crystallization under unstable,disequilibrium conditions.By contrast,the Py2 is texturally homogeneous and contains higher Au concentrations(median:0.304 ppm)with progressively increasingδ^(34)S values(5.25‰-10.14‰)over time,suggesting slow crystal growth under more stable,near-equilibrium conditions.Based on the microtextural and geochemical information,it is proposed that fluid boiling occurred only during the hydrothermal stage Ⅱ,which resulted in the unstable physicochemical environment and rapid deposition of gold.During the boiling processes,gold colloids likely occurred and promoted the formation of visible gold.

文摘The purpose of infrared and visible image fusion is to create a single image containing the texture details and significant object information of the source images,particularly in challenging environments.However,existing image fusion algorithms are generally suitable for normal scenes.In the hazy scene,a lot of texture information in the visible image is hidden,the results of existing methods are filled with infrared information,resulting in the lack of texture details and poor visual effect.To address the aforementioned difficulties,we propose a haze-free infrared and visible fusion method,termed HaIVFusion,which can eliminate the influence of haze and obtain richer texture information in the fused image.Specifically,we first design a scene information restoration network(SIRNet)to mine the masked texture information in visible images.Then,a denoising fusion network(DFNet)is designed to integrate the features extracted from infrared and visible images and remove the influence of residual noise as much as possible.In addition,we use color consistency loss to reduce the color distortion resulting from haze.Furthermore,we publish a dataset of hazy scenes for infrared and visible image fusion to promote research in extreme scenes.Extensive experiments show that HaIVFusion produces fused images with increased texture details and higher contrast in hazy scenes,and achieves better quantitative results,when compared to state-ofthe-art image fusion methods,even combined with state-of-the-art dehazing methods.

文摘Pressurized buildings have emerged as a novel architectural solution to alleviate altitude illness in high-altitude regions.Unlike conventional buildings,evacuation from this kind of building has to experience a depressurization time,which results in air expansion and heat absorption,creating a dense fog and impairing sight within the buildings.Evacuation experiments were performed in a pressurized oxygen-supplement compartment to investigate the pedestrian motion properties.Based on the questionnaires,participants reported varying degrees of symptoms such as ear blockage,reduced environmental noise,and dizziness,which had a measurable impact on their mobility.We focus on the evacuation parameters through three basic building components:staircases,pressure transition cabins,and escape windows.As the visibility in the compartment decreases from high to low,the movement patterns of pedestrian shift from triangular to single-file with a significant decline in evacuation efficiency.It is found that there is a linear relationship between evacuation time and the number of evacuees through escape windows.The pressure transition cabin is a crucial evacuation route in emergencies,and evacuation time is recommended as the key metric for assessing its effectiveness.These findings offer valuable insights for emergency evacuation strategies in pressurized buildings.
文摘The International Astronomical Union named a small crater on the Moon after the Moroccan explorer Ibn Battouta in 1976.The crater,located on the Moon’s visible side,is called the Ibn Battouta crater.Ibn Battouta is regarded as one of the four great medieval travellers.Born in Tangier,he spent nearly 30 years exploring over 30 countries across Africa,Europe,and Asia,including China,covering approximately 120,000 km.In 1355,he documented his travels in a work known as The Rihla.This account has attracted significant academic interest due to its rich details about diverse cultures.
文摘This study aims to enhance automated crop detection using high-resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)imagery by integrating the Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index(VARI)with deep learning models.The primary challenge addressed is the detection of bananas interplanted with betel nuts,a scenario where traditional image processing techniques struggle due to color similarities and canopy overlap.The research explores the effectiveness of three deep learning models—Single Shot MultiBox Detector(SSD),You Only Look Once version 3(YOLOv3),and Faster Region-Based Convolutional Neural Network(Faster RCNN)—using Red,Green,Blue(RGB)and VARI images for banana detection.Results show that VARI significantly improves detection accuracy,with YOLOv3 achieving the best performance,achieving a precision of 73.77%,recall of 100%,and reduced training time by 95 seconds.Additionally,the average Intersection over Union(IoU)increased by 4%–25%across models with VARI-enhanced images.This study confirms that incorporating VARI improves the performance of deep learning models,offering a promising solution for precise crop detection in complex agricultural environments.

文摘The introduction of machine learning algorithms has revolutionized the design of invisible devices,particularly in the intricate domain of elasto-dynamics.In this study,we proposed a core-shell configuration to realize elastic sphere cloaks driven by a Bayesian optimization algorithm to pinpoint the optimal configuration with high precision.Numerical simulations in solid and aqueous environments were performed to validate the cloaking efficacy of our design and the parameters identified by the algorithm.The results closely agreed with the theoretical predictions,underscoring the robustness of the proposed method.This approach provides new insights into the design of elastic wave invisibility devices and has potential applications in underwater communication and sonar detection.

文摘Scratch damage can reduce both the aesthetic appearance and structural integrity of polymer surfaces.To optimize and enhance the scratch resistance of polycarbonate,this study investigates the influence of assembly pre-tensile and pre-compressive stresses,with scratch experiments being conducted under both linearly increasing and constant normal load modes.Experimental results and finite element simulations are used to analyze scratch resistance and visibility.The results indicate that the application of 20%pre-compressive stress increases the critical normal load for onset of scratch visibility by 42%compared with the case in which no assembly pre-stress is applied,and it effectively decreases residual scratch depth,shoulder height,shoulder width,and tangential load.This is because assembly pre-compressive stress can effectively counteract the extrusion of material at the front and sides caused by the sliding scratch tip.Pre-compressive stress hinders scratch groove formation,improving the scratch resistance of polycarbonate.By contrast,pre-tensile stress weakens these characteristics.This study provides valuable insights for enhancing the surface damage resistance of polycarbonate materials.

文摘Photoredox-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization(RDRP)is an effective approach to synthesize polymers with defined composition and architecture.Current photoinduced RDRP primarily depends on outer-sphere electron transfer or homolysis mechanisms.Herein,we describe an example of iodine-mediated RDRP facilitated by photoinduced charge transfer complex(CTC)catalysis.The approach uses cheap and easily accessible N^(-)heterocyclic nitrenium salt(NHN^(+)...I^(-))as the photoactive CTC.Upon the irradiation of visible light,NHN^(+)...I^(-)undergoes single electron transfer to generate NHN·and I·radicals.The NHN·radical activates dormant Pn-I polymers via inner-sphere single electron transfer,leading to the propagating Pn·radical for chain growth and the I^(-)anion for recovering the CTC,and the I·radical deactivates the polymerization via coupling with Pn·.

文摘Urban combat environments pose complex and variable challenges for UAV path planning due to multidimensional factors,such as static and dynamic obstructions as well as risks of exposure to enemy detection,which threaten flight safety and mission success.Traditional path planning methods typically depend solely on the distribution of static obstacles to generate collision-free paths,without accounting for constraints imposed by enemy detection and strike capabilities.Such a simplified approach can yield safety-compromising routes in highly complex urban airspace.To address these limitations,this study proposes a multi-parameter path planning method based on reachable airspace visibility graphs,which integrates UAV performance constraints,environmental limitations,and exposure risks.An innovative heuristic algorithm is developed to balance operational safety and efficiency by both exposure risks and path length.In the case study set in a typical mixed-use urban area,analysis of airspace visibility graphs reveals significant variations in exposure risk at different regions and altitudes due to building encroachments.Path optimization results indicate that the method can effectively generate covert and efficient flight paths by dynamically adjusting the exposure index,which represents the likelihood of enemy detection,and the path length,which corresponds to mission execution time.

文摘Pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole is a good building block for radical photoini-tiators.In this study,free-radical photoinitiator 1,4-bis(4-bro-mophenyl)-2,5-bis(4-(trifluo-romethyl)phenyl)-1,4-dihydropy-rrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole(PyBF),con-taining a symmetric trifluo-romethyl(-CF3)end group,is syn-thesized via a one-step aldehyde-ketone condensation re-action for light-emitting diode(LED)photopolymerization.The-CF3 groups are incorporated into the 2,5-phenyl on the pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole core.PyBF rapidly initiates the photopolymerization of acrylate pre-polymers and monomers under LED illumination at 365 and 405 nm.A possible photolysis mechanism is provided.In the presence of amines,PyBF increases the gel fraction rate of polyethylene glycol diacrylate(PEGDA)from 63.4%to 80.0%,indicating good potential as a two-component photoinitiator.PyBF exhibits a thermal decomposition temperature in an ex-cess of 300℃,comparable to that of a commercial photoinitiator(diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethyl-benzoyl)phosphine oxide,TPO),indicating its thermal stability.PyBF shows low migration in light-curing materials.Scanning electron microscopy images indicate that the materials of the PyBF/TPO/PEGDA mixture cured using the PyBF/TPO two-component photoinitia-tor system exhibit a smooth surface,in contrast to those cured with PyBF/PEGDA and TPO/PEGDA systems.The cured materials also display low curing shrinkage.Therefore,the pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole radical photoinitiator exhibits high photoactivity in visible-light pho-topolymerization reactions.
