MAXIMIN EFFICIENCY ROBUST TEST FOR MULTIPLE NUISANCE PARAMETERS AND ITS STATISTICAL PROPERTIES

We propose the maximin efficiency robust test（MERT） for multiple nuisance parameters based on theories about the maximin efficiency robust test for only one nuisance parameter and investigate some theoretical properties about this robust test.We explore some theoretical properties about the power of the MERT for multiple nuisance parameters in a specified scenario intuitively further more.We also propose a meaningful example from statistical genetic field to which the MERT for multiple nuisance parameters can be well applied.Extensive simulation studies are conducted to testify the robustness of the MERT for multiple nuisance parameters.

Mechanical robust and self-healing flexible perovskite solar cells with efficiency exceeding 23%

Flexible perovskite solar cells(f-PSCs) have experienced rapid advancements due to the light-weight, flexibility, and solution processability of the perovskite materials, which prompted the power conversion efficiency(PCE) to 24.08%. However, f-PSCs still face challenges in terms of mechanical and environmental stability. This is primarily due to their inherent brittleness, the presence of residual tensile strain, and the high density of defects along the boundaries of perovskite grains. To this end, we carefully developed a cross-linkable elastomers 3-[(3-acrylamidopropyl)dimethylammonium] propanoate(ADP) with electrostatic dynamic bond, which could be in-situ cross-linked and coordinate with [Pb I6]4-to regulate the crystallization process of perovskite. The cross-linked elastomers attached to the perovskite grain boundaries could release the remaining tensile strains and mechanical stresses, leading to enhanced stability and flexibility of the f-PSCs. More importantly, the electrostatic interaction between positive and negative groups of cross-linked elastomers and hydrogen bond formation between N–H and C=O accelerate the cross-linking of ADP, endowing the flexible perovskite films with self-healing ability under mild treating conditions(60 °C for 30 min). As a result, the device achieves a remarkable PCE of 23.53%(certified 23.16%). Additionally, the device exhibits impressive mechanical sustainability and durability, retaining over 90% of initial PCE even after undergoing8,000 bending cycles.

Control method on serial type pump-valve coordinated electro-hydraulic servo system

In order to compromise the conflicts between control accuracy and system efficiency of conventional electro-hydraulic servo systems,a novel pump-valve coordinated electro-hydraulic servo system was designed and a corresponding control strategy was proposed.The system was constituted of a pumpcontrolled part and a valve-controlled part,the pump controlled part is used to adjust the flow rate of oil source and the valve controlled part is used to complete the position tracking control of the hydraulic cylinder.Based on the system characteristics,a load flow grey prediction method was adopted in the pump controlled part to reduce the system overflow losses,and an adaptive robust control method was adopted in the valve controlled part to eliminate the effect of system nonlinearity and parametric uncertainties due to variable hydraulic parameters and system loads on the control precision.The experimental results validated that the adopted control strategy increased the system efficiency obviously with guaranteed high control accuracy.

Efficient model building in active appearance model for rotated face

This paper proposes the efficient model building in active appearance model(AAM) for the rotated face.Finding an exact region of the face is generally difficult due to different shapes and viewpoints.Unlike many papers about the fitting method of AAM,this paper treats how images are chosen for fitting of the rotated face in modelling process.To solve this problem,databases of facial rotation and expression are selected and models are built using Procrustes method and principal component analysis(PCA).These models are applied in fitting methods like basic AAM fitting,inverse compositional alignment(ICA),project-out ICA,normalization ICA,robust normalization inverse compositional algorithm(RNIC)and efficient robust normalization algorithm(ERN).RNIC and ERN can fit the rotated face in images efficiently.The efficiency of model building is checked using sequence images made by ourselves.

Flexible,robust and highly efficient broadband nonlinear optical materials based on graphene oxide impregnated polymer sheets

We report a simple solution-processed method for the fabrication of low-cost,flexible optical limiting materials based on graphene oxide(GO) impregnated polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) sheets.Such GO–PVA composite sheets display highly efficient broadband optical limiting activities for femtosecond laser pulses at 400,800,and 1400 nm with very low limiting thresholds.Femtosecond pump–probe measurement results revealed that nonlinear absorption played an important role for the observed optical limiting activities.High flexibility and efficient optical limiting activities of these materials allow these composite sheets to be attached to nonplanar optical sensors in order to protect them from light-induced damage.

Optimality Conditions for Generalized Convex Nonsmooth Uncertain Multi-objective Fractional Programming

This paper aims at studying optimality conditions of robust weak efficient solutions for a nonsmooth uncertain multi-objective fractional programming problem(NUMFP).The concepts of two types of generalized convex function pairs,called type-I functions and pseudo-quasi-type-I functions,are introduced in this paper for(NUMFP).Under the assumption that(NUMFP)satisfies the robust constraint qualification with respect to Clarke subdifferential,necessary optimality conditions of the robust weak efficient solution are given.Sufficient optimality conditions are obtained under pseudo-quasi-type-I generalized convexity assumption.Furthermore,we introduce the concept of robust weak saddle points to(NUMFP),and prove two theorems about robust weak saddle points.The main results in the present paper are verified by concrete examples.
