Polynomial rooting based frequency offset estimation for MIMO OFDM systems

Based on the frequency domain training sequences, the polynomial-based carrier frequency offset （CFO） estimation in multiple-input multiple-output （ MIMO ） orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （ OFDM ） systems is extensively investigated. By designing the training sequences to meet certain conditions and exploiting the Hermitian and real symmetric properties of the corresponding matrices, it is found that the roots of the polynomials corresponding to the cost functions are pairwise and that both meger CFO and fractional CFO can be estimated by the direct polynomial rooting approach. By analyzing the polynomials corresponding to the cost functions and their derivatives, it is shown that they have a common polynomial factor and the former can be expressed in a quadratic form of the common polynomial factor. Analytical results further reveal that the derivative polynomial rooting approach is equivalent to the direct one in estimation at the same signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） value and that the latter is superior to the former in complexity. Simulation results agree well with analytical results.

Effect of surface dissolution on kinetic parameters in flotation of ilmenite from different gangue minerals

The effects of acid surface dissolution on the flotation kinetics of ilmenite(IL)and its common accompanied gangue minerals including olivine-pyroxene(Ol-Px),tremolite-clinochlore(Tr-Cch)and quartz were investigated.The results show that through the surface dissolution the adsorption rate constant for ilmenite increases from 5.272 to 8.441 mol/(g·min)while it decreases for Ol-Px,Tr-Cch and quartz from 6.332,7.309 and 7.774 mol/(g·min)to 5.034,6.223 and 7.371 mol/(g·min),respectively.Also,the flotation experiments on a binary mixture of minerals indicate that after surface dissolution the values of modified rate constant for ilmenite flotation from Ol-Px,Tr-Cch and quartz are enhanced from 36.15,36.52 and 47.86 min-1 to 41.72,45.78 and 56.24 min-1,respectively.This results in the improvement of kinetic selectivity index(SI)in the separation of treated ilmenite from gangue minerals.As evidenced by ICP-MS analysis,the decrease of kinetic parameters for gangue minerals can be due to the removal of Fe^2+,Ca^2+and Mg^2+ions from their surfaces,which results in the lack of enough active sites to interact with collector species.As confirmed by contact angle measurements,this prevents the formation of a stable hydrophobic layer on the minerals surfaces for creating stable attachments between minerals and bubbles.Generally,the improvement of ilmenite flotation kinetics has a negative correlation with the iron content in its accompanied gangue minerals.

Experimental and kinetic study of n-heptane isomerization on nanoporous Pt-(Re,Sn)/HZSM5-HMS catalysts

Pt-（Sn,Re）/HZSM5-HMS catalysts were evaluated for n-heptane isomerization at 200–350 ℃.To characterize the catalyst,X-ray diffraction,X-ray fluorescene,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy,temperature-programmed reduction of H2,temperature-programmed desorption of NH3,infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine,H2 chemisorption,nitrogen adsorption-desorption,scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis were performed.Kinetics of n-C7 isomerization were investigated under various hydrogen and n-C7 pressures,and the effects of reaction conditions on catalytic performance were studied.The results showed that bi-and trimetallic catalysts exhibit better performance than monometallic catalysts for this reaction.For example,a maximum i-C7 selectivity（ 〉74%） and multibranched isomer selectivity（40%） were observed for Pt-Sn/HZSM5-HMS at 200 ℃.

Selectively constructing sandwich-like heterostructure of CdS/PbTiO_(3)/TiO_(2)to improve visible-light photocatalytic H_(2)evolution

Fast migration and efficient spatial separation of photogenerated charges in photocatalytic materials are indispensable to efficient solar water splitting reactions.Here,we construct a three-phase heterostructure of CdS/PbTiO_(3)/TiO_(2)by selectively depositing CdS and TiO_(2)at oppositely poled crystal facets of PbTiO_(3)using single-domain ferroelectric PbTiO_(3).The heterostructure has matching band edge alignments and strong interfacial connections at different moieties.The heterostructure combines the interfacial electrical and ferroelectric fields because of their peculiar microstructures,which provide a strong driving force throughout the whole bulk to separate photogenerated charges.Almost two orders of magnitude improvement of visible-light-driven photocatalytic H_(2) production has been realized in CdS/PbTiO_(3)/TiO_(2)compared with bare PbTiO_(3)/TiO_(2),showing the efficiency of charge separation in the heterostructure.The idea of combining ferroelectrics with potential light capture semiconductor provides a paradigm to accurately design charge migration pathways,bringing a step closer to efficient solar water splitting.
