The polyhedral ZnSnO3 core acts as a sacrificed template for the growth of hierarchical SnO2 nanoflakes, and the average thickness of SnO2 nanoflakes is around 25 nm. The time-dependent morphology evolution of ZnSnO3-SnO2 samples was investigated, and a possible formation mechanism of these hierarchical structures is discussed. The gas sensor based on these novel ZnSnO3-SnO2 nanostructures exhibits high response and quick response- recovery traits to ethanol (C2H5OH). It is found that ZnSnO3-SnO2 nanoflakes have a response of 27.8 to 50×10-6 C2H5OH at the optimal operating temperature of 270 °C, and the response and recovery time are within 1.0 and 1.8 s, respectively.展开更多

Operational variables which influence nanomaterial synthesis have been studied and optimized. Synthesis was very fast and simple using non polluting solvents; silver chemical reduction was carried out at room temperature. Spectroscopic studies were carried out in order to assure the uniformed of nanomaterial obtained. Fluorescent signal of silver nanoparticles resulted enhanced in presence of Ni(II). At optimal experimental conditions, a detection limit of 0.036 pg'L1 and quantification limit 0.12 pg'L~ were obtained. The calibration sensitivity was 2 x 1014 L.pg-l.cm1 for the new methodology, with a range of linearity of six orders of magnitude between 0.12 and 2.93 × 10^5 pg L^-1. The tolerance levels for potential interferent ions were studied with good results. The proposed methodology represents a promising approach for Ni(II) traces quantification due to its low operation cost, simplicity of instrumentation, high sampling speed and non-polluting solvents.展开更多

An area-based method is proposed to estimate full navigation parameters(FNPs), including attitude, altitude and horizontal position, for unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) navigation. Our method is composed of three main modules: geometric transfer function, local normalized sobel energy image(LNSEI) based objective function and simplex-simulated annealing(SSA) based optimization algorithm. The adoption of relatively rich scene information and LNSEI, makes it possible to yield a solution robustly even in the presence of very noisy cases, such as multi-modal and/or multi-temporal images that differ in the type of visual sensor, season, illumination, weather, and so on, and also to handle the sparsely textured regions where features are barely detected or matched. Simulation experiments using many synthetic images clearly support noise resistance and estimation accuracy, and experimental results using 2367 real images show the maximum estimation error of 5.16(meter) for horizontal position, 9.72(meter) for altitude and 0.82(degree) for attitude.展开更多
