The solution to some of the problems such as illumination changes, initialization of model with moving objects, and shadows suppression was provided. The background samples were chosen by thresholding inter-frame differences, and the Gaussian kernel density estimation was used to estimate the probability density function of background intensity. Pixel's neighbor information was considered to remove noise due to camera jitter and small motion in the scene. The hue-max-min-diff color information was used to detect and suppress moving cast shadows. The effectiveness of the proposed method in the foreground segmentation was demonstrated in the traffic surveillance application.展开更多

Den-sity functional theory calculations indicate that the hydrogen abstraction is favorable in the reaction of Zr2O5- with C2H6, which supports that the observed Zr2O5H- and Zr3O7H- are due to hydrogen atom abstraction from the alkane molecules. This work shows a newpossible pathway in the reaction of zirconium oxide cluster anions with alkane molecules.展开更多

Interactions of both types of Ser with the pure graphene surface show weak non-covalent interactions due to the formation of-COOH…π, -COO^-…π, and -OH…π interactions. On metal- doped graphene, covalent interactions to the surface dominate, due to the formation of strong metal-O and O-metal-O interactions. Furthermore, the doped Fe, Cr, Mn, A1, or Ti enhances the ability of graphene to attract both types of Ser by a combination of the adsorption energy, the density of states, the Mulliken atomic charges, and differences of electron density. At the same time, the interaction strengths of anionic Ser on various graphene surfaces are stronger than those of neutral Ser. These results provide useful insights for the rational design and development of graphene-based sensors for the two forms of Ser by introducing appropriate doped atoms. Ti and Fe are suggested to be the best choices among all doped atoms for the anionic Ser and neutral Ser, respectively.展开更多

In this study, H2 dissociation by Aul-doped closed-shell titanium oxide cluster anions AuTi3O7 and AuTi3O8 has been identified by mass spectrometry and quantum chemistry calculations. The clusters were generated by laser ablation and mass- selected to react with H2 in art ion trap reactor. In the reaction of AuTi3O8 with H2, the ion pair Au+-O22 rather than Au+-O2 is the active site to promote H2 dissociation. This finding is in contrast with the previous result that the lattice oxygen is usually the reactive oxygen species in H2 dissociation. The higher reactivity of the peroxide species is further supported by frontier molecular orbital analysis. This study provides new insights into gold catalysis involving H2 activation and dissociation.展开更多

Sequence of stages of electrosynthesis of silicides of molybdenum and tungsten was found as follows: deposition of more electroposifve metal (molybdenum or tungsten), deposition of the second component (silicon) on the surface of metal deposited previously, and reaction diffusion of silicon into the deep of the metal-salt "pear" with the formation of silicide phases of different compositions up to the higher silicides. In contrast, during the electrodeposition of chromium silicides, one of the components (chromium) is deposited not in elemental form, but in oxide form, and the other (silicon) acts as a reducing agent for this oxide to form binary compounds. Duration of the synthesis first stage (deposition of refractory metal or of its oxide) depends on the refractory metal compound content in the system and on the cathode current density. Synthesis of silicides is possible due to retention of powders of molybdenum (tungsten) or chromium oxide at the cathode without scaling. Optimal values of concentrations ratio, current density, temperature, and duration of electrosynthesis were found. Phase composition of products were obtained, as well as their chemical and thermal stability, were studied.展开更多

In the background subtraction stage, moving objects were extracted. Then, the initial classification for moving shadow pixels and foreground object pixels was performed by using color invariant features. In the shadow model learning stage, instead of a single Gaussian distribution, it was assumed that the density function computed on the values of chromaticity difference or bright difference, can be modeled as a mixture of Gaussian consisting of two density functions. Meanwhile, the Gaussian parameter estimation was performed by using EM algorithm. The estimates were used to obtain shadow mask according to two constraints. Finally, experiments were carried out. The visual experiment results confirm the effectiveness of proposed method. Quantitative results in terms of the shadow detection rate and the shadow discrimination rate(the maximum values are 85.79% and 97.56%, respectively) show that the proposed approach achieves a satisfying result with post-processing step.展开更多

Cyclic M(SO2) and anion M(SO2)-(M=Zn, Cd) were produced in excess argon and neon, which were identified by 34SO2 and S18O2 isotopic substitutions. The observed infrared spectra and molecular structures were confirmed by density functional theoretical calculations. Natural charge distributions indicated significant electron transfer from s orbitals of zinc or cadmium metal atom to S02 ligand and cyclic M(SO2) complexes favored "ion pair" M+(SO2)-formation, which were trapped in low temperature matrices. In addition Zn-O or Cd-O bond in M(SO2) exhibited strong polarized covalent character. Reaction of Hg atom with SO2 was also investigated, but no reaction product was observed, due to the relativistic effect that resulted in the contraction of 6s valence shell and high ionization potential of Hg atom.展开更多

The results show that for both [VOP]- and [VOP]+ the ground states are triplet, in which one of the two unpaired electron occupies the dxy orbital of the V atom while the other occupies the n-orbital of porphyrin ring. Thus both [VOP]- and [VOP]+ can be considered as n-radicals. The ground state of neutral VOP molecule is doublet with the unpaired electron occupying dxy orbital of V atom. In contract to the C4v symmetry of neutral VOP molecule, [VOP]- anion has a "rectangular" distorted C2v structure due to Jahn-Teller effect. The linear vibronic coupling constants for the Jahn-Teller active modes of [TOP]- were evaluated and the node patterns of frontier KS orbitals are used to explain the reason why the distortion occurs along specific modes. The ground state [VOP]+ has a porphyrin ring with pronounced bond length alternation due to pseudo-Jahn-Teller effect, causing its symmetry declined from C4v to Ca. The bond length alternation is well explained with the node patterns of re-constructed frontier KS orbitals.展开更多

Plasma anode is used to increase the beam current density. Preliminary interelectrode gap filling with plasma in the explosive-emission source decreases the influence of uncontrolled plasma arrival from the anode on the diode processes, promotes current density increase and duration of generated electron beams. The paper considers the influence of the cathode geometry on the breakdown formation in the plasma-anode explosive-emission electron source. The data on obtaining of microsecond electron beams with current density of 30 A/cm^2 and 1.5-2 kA/cm^2 are presented.展开更多

The indium modified AP65 exhibits accelerated pitting corrosion and overall corrosion, but there is almost no incubation period at the onset of corrosion. Polarization curve measurements indicate that the indium modified AP65 has more negative corrosion potential, which is an improvement aspect of the electrochemical activation. The corrosion current density increases from 0.126 to 0.868 mA/cm2 with and without 2.0% (mass fraction) indium addition. The mean potentials of AP65 negatively shift from -1.491 V to -1.584 V by adding 2.0% indium. The effect of indium addition on the corrosion performance of AP65 seems to be associated with the decrease of cathode-to-anode area ratio of the alloy, which may change the electrochemical anode and cathode polarization behavior of the alloy.展开更多

Intensive studies on two-dimensional molybdenum disulfides(2 D Mo S2) have been conducted due to their remarkable catalytic properties.However, most of the reported syntheses are time consuming,complicated and less efficient. The present work demonstrates the production of Mo S2/graphene catalyst via an ultra-fast(60 s) microwave-initiated approach. High specific surface area and conductivity of graphene delivers a favorable conductive network for the growth of Mo S2 nanosheets, along with rapid charge transfer kinetics. As-produced Mo S2/graphene nanocomposites exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity for the HER in acidic medium, with a low onset potential of62 m V, high cathodic currents and a Tafel slope of43.3 m V/decade. Beyond excellent catalytic activity, Mo S2/graphene reveals long cycling stability with a very high cathodic current density of around 1000 m A cm^-2 at an overpotential of 250 m V. Moreover, the Mo S2/graphene-catalyst exhibits outstanding HER activities in a temperature range of 30 to 120°C with low activation energy of36.51 k J mol^-1, providing the opportunity of practical scalable processing.展开更多

The emission density of carbon nanotube (CNT) cold cathode reaches 207.0 mA cm-2 at an electric field of 4.5 Vμm-1 under continuous driving mode, and high peak current emission of 315.8 mA corresponding to 4.5 A cm 2 at the electric field of 10.3 V μm-1 under pulsed driving mode. The emission patterns of the cold cathodes are of excellent uniformity that was revealed by vivid luminescent patterns of phosphor coated transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) an- ode. The cold cathodes also exhibit highly stable emission under continuous and pulsed driving modes. The high adhe- sion of CNTs to molybdenum substrates results in robust cold cathodes and is responsible for the high field emission performance. This robust CNT emitter could meet the operating requirements of continuous and pulsed electron sources, and it provides promising applications in various vacuum- micro/nanoelectronic devices.展开更多

The stable cationic pentamers have three-dimensional structures in contrast to anionic clusters assume planar structures. For the given cluster size the electron affinities decrease as the Cu content increases, while no clear trend can be found in adiabatic ionization potentials. The binding energy per atom also increases with the increasing Cu content and follows the order anion 〈 cation. The most probable dissociation channels of the clusters considered are also discussed.展开更多

The emission density of carbon nanotube (CNT) cold cathode reaches 207.0 mA cm-2 at an electric field of 4.5 Vμm-1 under continuous driving mode, and high peak current emission of 315.8 mA corresponding to 4.5 A cm 2 at the electric field of 10.3 V μm-1 under pulsed driving mode. The emission patterns of the cold cathodes are of excellent uniformity that was revealed by vivid luminescent patterns of phosphor coated transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) an- ode. The cold cathodes also exhibit highly stable emission under continuous and pulsed driving modes. The high adhe- sion of CNTs to molybdenum substrates results in robust cold cathodes and is responsible for the high field emission performance. This robust CNT emitter could meet the operating requirements of continuous and pulsed electron sources, and it provides promising applications in various vacuum- micro/nanoelectronic devices.

文摘Abstract The structural and energetic properties of bimetallic AgmCun (m +n ≤ 5) in the cationic and anionic charged states have been investigated by density functional theory with relativistic effective core potentails. The stable cationic pentamers have three-dimensional structures in contrast to anionic clusters assume planar structures. For the given cluster size the electron affinities decrease as the Cu content increases, while no clear trend can be found in adiabatic ionization potentials. The binding energy per atom also increases with the increasing Cu content and follows the order anion 〈 cation. The most probable dissociation channels of the clusters considered are also discussed.

文摘Powder metallurgy was used to fabricate carbon nanotube(CNT) field emission cathodes.CNTs and tin(Sn) powder were blended,compacted and sintered.After polishing and etching,CNTs were exposed and protruded from the metal surface.CNTs were embedded into the Sn matrix,which acted as stable field emitters. The J-E curves show excellent field emission properties,such as low turn-on field of 2.8 V/μm,high emission current density and good current stability.
