However, the significant compressive stress accumulated within the Al Ga N layer makes it challenging to achieve a smooth surface free of hexagonal hillocks on these templates. To address this issue, we investigate the mechanism of compressive stress accumulation during the growth of Al Ga N-based epilayers on HTA-Al N templates using in-situ curvature analysis in this study. To verify the mechanism, a low-Al-content Al Ga N interlayer is introduced between the Al N epilayer and the subsequent Al Ga N epilayer. The larger a-plane lattice constant of this interlayer relative to the Al Ga N epilayer slows the accumulation rate of compressive stress. The hexagonal hillock can be effectively suppressed and the surface of Al Ga N epilayer can be significantly regulated by adopting various low-Al-content Al Ga N interlayers. This work provides a comprehension on the stress accumulation mechanism in Al Ga N epilayers and a feasible method to obtain hillock-free surface of Al Ga N epilayers on HTA-Al N templates,which will be beneficial for fabricating Al Ga N based devices.展开更多

The algorithm consists of three image processing steps. The first step is human skin color statistics. Then it separates skin regions from non-skin regions. After that, it locates the fronta l human face(s) within the skin regions. In the first step, 250 skin samples from persons of different ethnicities are used to determine the color distribution o f human skin in chromatic color space in order to get a chroma chart showing lik elihoods of skin colors. This chroma chart is used to generate, from the origina l color image, a gray scale image whose gray value at a pixel shows its likelih ood of representing the skin. The algorithm uses an adaptive thresholding proces s to achieve the optimal threshold value for dividing the gray scale image into separate skin regions from non skin regions. Finally, multiple face templates ma tching is used to determine if a given skin region represents a frontal human fa ce or not. Test of the system with more than 400 color images showed that the re sulting detection rate was 83%, which is better than most color-based face dete c tion systems. The average speed for face detection is 0.8 second/image (400×300 pixels) on a Pentium 3 (800MHz) PC.展开更多

The system will lay a foundation for evaluation, analysis, retrieval, and utilization of the extracted information.Design/methodology/approach: An improved template extraction technique was proposed.Separate templates designed for extracting blog entry titles, posts and their comments were established, and structured information was extracted online step by step. A dozen of data items, such as the entry titles, posts and their commenters and comments, the numbers of views, and the numbers of citations were extracted from eight major Chinese blog websites,including Sina, Sohu and Bokee.Findings: Results showed that the average accuracy of the experimental extraction system reached 94.6%.

In addition, entries posted by Ajax technology can be extracted successfully.Research limitations: As the templates need to be established in advance, this extraction technique can be effectively applied to a limited range of blog websites. In addition, the stability of the extraction templates was affected by the source code of the blog pages.Practical implications: This paper has studied and established a blog page extraction system,which can be used to extract structured data, preserve and update the data, and facilitate the collection, study and utilization of the blog resources, especially academic blog resources.Originality/value: This modified template extraction technique outperforms the Web page downloaders and the specialized blog page downloaders with structured and comprehensive data extraction.展开更多

The system will lay a foundation for evaluation, analysis, retrieval, and utilization of the extracted information.Design/methodology/approach: An improved template extraction technique was proposed.Separate templates designed for extracting blog entry titles, posts and their comments were established, and structured information was extracted online step by step. A dozen of data items, such as the entry titles, posts and their commenters and comments, the numbers of views, and the numbers of citations were extracted from eight major Chinese blog websites,including Sina, Sohu and Bokee.Findings: Results showed that the average accuracy of the experimental extraction system reached 94.6%. Because the online and multi-threading extraction technique was adopted, the speed of extraction was improved with the average speed of 15 pages per second without considering the network delay. In addition, entries posted by Ajax technology can be extracted successfully.Research limitations: As the templates need to be established in advance, this extraction technique can be effectively applied to a limited range of blog websites. In addition, the stability of the extraction templates was affected by the source code of the blog pages.Practical implications: This paper has studied and established a blog page extraction system,which can be used to extract structured data, preserve and update the data, and facilitate the collection, study and utilization of the blog resources, especially academic blog resources.Originality/value: This modified template extraction technique outperforms the Web page downloaders and the specialized blog page downloaders with structured and comprehensive data extraction.
文摘Through employing zeolitic imidazolate framework-67(ZIF-67)templates,the straightforward hydrother-mal and electrodeposition methods were applied to synthesize FeOOH@CoMoO_(4)heterostructure attached to the sur-face of nickel foam(NF).The specific structure of the as-prepared FeOOH@CoMoO_(4)/NF-400s provided pronounced porosity and extensive surface area,enhancing rapid electron transport and exposing abundant active sites to improve catalytic reactions.Furthermore,the introduction of FeOOH,which induces electron transfer from FeOOH to CoMoO_(4),confirms their strong electronic interaction,thereby leading to an accelerated surface catalytic reaction.Consequently,the constructed FeOOH@CoMoO_(4)/NF-400s heterostructure demonstrated exceptional oxygen evolu-tion reaction(OER)activity,requiring an overpotential of 199 mV to deliver the current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2),cou-pled with the superior Tafel slope value of 49.56 mV·dec^(-1)and outstanding stability over 20 h under the current densities of both 10 and 100 mA·cm^(-2).
文摘The wide band gap characteristics of gallium oxide make it very suitable for the preparation of solar-blind ultra-violet photodetectors.The responsivity of ultraviolet photodetectors based on thin films is often low.However,nanomaterials have excellent photoelectric properties in device applications due to the high stability brought by high specific surface area and high crystal quality.Here,we successfully depositedβ-Ga_(2)O_(3) nanopores on the double-pass ordered porous AAO tem-plate by PLD.The porous AAO template is used as the growth space of nanomaterials,and the gallium oxide material is filled into the pores of the template to form a nanotube structure.By optimizing the preparation process,the relationship be-tween the performance of gallium oxide nanopores and the growth time was studied in depth.With the increase of growth time,the responsivity of the detector was improved.The rise timeτr=0.7 s,the decay timeτ_(d)=1.3 s,and the responsivity reached 4.63 mA·W^(-1),which was higher than 2.24 mA·W^(-1)of the responsivity of silicon-based gallium oxide nanorods.

文摘In the present work,the high uniform 6-inch single-crystalline AlN template is successfully achieved by high temperature annealing technique,which opens up the path towards industrial application in power device.Moreover,the outstanding crystalline-quality is confirmed by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry(RBS).In accompanied with the results from X-ray diffraction,the RBS results along both[0001]and[1213]reveal that the in-plane lattice is effectively reordered by high temperature annealing.In addition,the constantΦ_(epi)angle between[0001]and[1213]at different depths of 31.54°confirms the uniform compressive strain inside the AlN region.Benefitting from the excellent crystalline quality of AlN template,we can epitaxially grow the enhanced-mode high electron mobility transistor(HEMT)with a graded AlGaN buffer as thin as only~300 nm.Such an ultra-thin AlGaN buffer layer results in the wafer-bow as low as 18.1μm in 6-inch wafer scale.The fabricated HEMT devices with 16μm-L_(GD)exhibits a threshold voltage(V_(TH))of 1.1 V and a high OFF-state breakdown voltage(V_(BD))over 1400 V.Furthermore,after 200 V high-voltage OFF-state stress,the current collapse is only 13.6%.Therefore,the advantages of both 6-inch size and excellent crystallinity announces the superiority of single-crystalline AlN template in low-cost electrical power applications.

文摘The Mg−1Zn−1Sn and Mg−1Zn−1Sn−0.2Ca alloy scaffolds were prepared via infiltration casting using 3D-printed Ti templates to achieve complete and accurate control of the pore structure.The results indicate that the actual porosity and pore size of the prepared P model for each pore size are greater than the designed values.The addition of Ca changes the second phase of the alloy from Mg_(2)Sn to CaMgSn and refines its microstructure.The compressive yield strength and compressive modulus of the Mg−1Zn−1Sn−0.2Ca alloy scaffold reach 32.61 MPa and 0.23 GPa,respectively.The corrosion current density is measured at 14.64μA/cm^(2),with an instantaneous corrosion rate of 0.335 mm/a.Both scaffolds exhibit excellent biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity.Additionally,the antibacterial effects of both alloys on E.coli are greater than 97.81%.These results indicate that Mg alloy scaffolds have great potential for clinical applications.
文摘To address the high cost of online detection equipment and the low adaptability and accuracy of online detection models that are caused by uneven lighting,high noise,low contrast and so on,a block-based template matching method incorporating fabric texture characteristics is proposed.Firstly,the template image set is evenly divided into N groups of sub-templates at the same positions to mitigate the effects of image illumination,reduce the model computation,and enhance the detection speed,with all image blocks being preprocessed.Then,the feature value information is extracted from the processed set of subtemplates at the same position,extracting two gray-level cooccurrence matrix(GLCM)feature values for each image block.These two feature values are then fused to construct a matching template.The mean feature value of all image blocks at the same position is calculated and used as the threshold for template detection,enabling automatic selection of template thresholds for different positions.Finally,the feature values of the image blocks in the experimental set are traversed and matched with subtemplates at the same positions to obtain fabric defect detection results.The detection experiments are conducted on a platform that simulates a fabric weaving environment,using defective gray fabrics from a weaving factory as the detected objects.The outcomes demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in detecting defects in gray fabrics,the mitigation of the impact of uneven external lighting on detection outcomes,and the enhancement of detection accuracy and adaptability.

文摘The rise of Zn-ion hybrid capacitor(ZHC)has imposed high requirements on carbon cathodes,including reasonable configuration,high specific surface area,multiscale pores,and abundant defects.To achieve this objective,a template-oriented strategy coupled with multi-heteroatom modification is proposed to precisely synthesize a three-dimensional boron/nitrogen-rich carbon nanoflake-interconnected micro/nano superstructure,referred to as BNPC.The hierarchically porous framework of BNPC shares short channels for fast Zn2+transport,increased adsorption-site accessibility,and structural robustness.Additionally,the boron/nitrogen incorporation effect significantly augments Zn2+adsorption capability and more distinctive pseudocapacitive nature,notably enhancing Zn-ion storage and transmission kinetics by performing the dual-storage mechanism of the electric double-layer capacitance and Faradaic redox process in BNPC cathode.These merits contribute to a high capacity(143.7 mAh g^(-1)at 0.2 A g^(-1))and excellent rate capability(84.5 mAh g^(-1)at 30 A g^(-1))of BNPC-based aqueous ZHC,and the ZHC still shows an ultrahigh capacity of 108.5 mAh g^(-1)even under a high BNPC mass loading of 12 mg cm^(-2).More critically,the BNPC-based flexible device also sustains notable cyclability over 30,000 cycles and low-rate self-discharge of 2.13 mV h-1 along with a preeminent energy output of 117.15 Wh kg^(-1)at a power density of 163.15Wkg^(-1),favoring a creditable applicability in modern electronics.In/ex-situ analysis and theoretical calculations elaborately elucidate the enhanced charge storage mechanism in depth.The findings offer a promising platform for the development of advanced carbon cathodes and corresponding electrochemical devices.

文摘The fundamental research and potential applications of magnetic two-dimensional(2D)ternary chalcogenides in spintronics have garnered considerable interest.Lessening the thickness of non-van der Waals(nvdWs)ternary chalcogenides to 2D structures can bring about novel physical phenomena and contribute to their potential applications m spintronics.In this paper,a template-mediated chemical synthesis was proposed to prepare nvdWs2D micrometer-sized CuFeSeS composite nanosheets.Specifically,free-standing 2D nvdWs hexagonal CuFeSeS with a mean size of 2.6μm was successfully achieved.The anisotropic growth of CuFeSeS was induced by the confinement effect of the template.Inspiringly,the 2D hexagonal CuFeSeS nanosheets with higher Fe content exhibit intrinsic ferromagnetic order,with a huge coercivity(HC)of 10.99 kOe at 5 K.The magnetism is regulated by varying the Fe content and reaction temperature.The valence changes of Fe,which form the ferromagnetic Fe7S8phase,play a crucial role in the magnetic transitions.This work enlightens the synthesis of 2D nvdWs ternary chalcogenides and promotes the potential applications of2D hexagonal CuFeSeS nanosheets in spintronics.
文摘Biometric template protection is essential for finger-based authentication systems,as template tampering and adversarial attacks threaten the security.This paper proposes a DCT-based fragile watermarking scheme incorporating AI-based tamper detection to improve the integrity and robustness of finger authentication.The system was tested against NIST SD4 and Anguli fingerprint datasets,wherein 10,000 watermarked fingerprints were employed for training.The designed approach recorded a tamper detection rate of 98.3%,performing 3–6%better than current DCT,SVD,and DWT-based watermarking approaches.The false positive rate(≤1.2%)and false negative rate(≤1.5%)were much lower compared to previous research,which maintained high reliability for template change detection.The system showed real-time performance,averaging 12–18 ms processing time per template,and is thus suitable for real-world biometric authentication scenarios.Quality analysis of fingerprints indicated that NFIQ scores were enhanced from 2.07 to 1.81,reflecting improved minutiae clarity and ridge structure preservation.The approach also exhibited strong resistance to compression and noise distortions,with the improvements in PSNR being 2 dB(JPEG compression Q=80)and the SSIM values rising by 3%–5%under noise attacks.Comparative assessment demonstrated that training with NIST SD4 data greatly improved the ridge continuity and quality of fingerprints,resulting in better match scores(260–295)when tested against Bozorth3.Smaller batch sizes(batch=2)also resulted in improved ridge clarity,whereas larger batch sizes(batch=8)resulted in distortions.The DCNN-based tamper detection model supported real-time classification,which greatly minimized template exposure to adversarial attacks and synthetic fingerprint forgeries.Results demonstrate that fragile watermarking with AI indeed greatly enhances fingerprint security,providing privacy-preserving biometric authentication with high robustness,accuracy,and computational efficiency.
