Synthesis of Azoxy Dyes and Their Copper Complexes and Their Application on Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Polarizing Film

Azoxy dyes and their copper complexes with maximum dichroism in the spectrum range from 550nm to 700nm were synthesized and used to prepare polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing films. These films showed excellent polarizing ability. In addition, a neutral gray polarizing film was prepared by mixing synthesized dichromatic dyes with other dyes. The obtained polarizable film for gray shade was little pervious to light over the visible radiation wavelength region, ranging from 400nm to 700nm at cross state, and excellent in the polarizing activities and stable to moisture and heat.

Exploring a broadened operating pH range for norfloxacin removal via simulated solar-light-mediated Bi_2WO_6 process

Semiconductor photocatalysis can be operated over a narrow pH range for wastewater treatment. In this study, a simulated solar-light-mediated bismuth tungstate (SSL/Bi2WO6) process is found to be effective for norfloxacin degradation over a narrow pH range. To broaden the operating pH range of the SSL/Bi2WO6 process, an NH4+ buffer system and an Fe3+ salt were introduced under extremely basic and acidic pH conditions, respectively. The NH4+ buffer system continuously supplied hydroxyl ions to generate ·OH radicals and prevented acidification of the solution, resulting in improved norfloxacin removal and mineralization removal under alkaline conditions. In contrast, the Fe3+ salt offered an additional homogeneous photo-sensitization pathway. The former treatment assisted in norfloxacin decay and the latter increased the collision frequency between the photo-generated hole and hydroxyl ions. Moreover, the effect of parameters such as pH and Fe3+ dosage was optimized.

Phase Difference Method for DOA Estimation

The phase difference method (PDM) is presented for the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of the narrowband source. It estimates the DOA by measuring the reciprocal of the phase range of the sensor output spectra at the interest frequency bin. The peak width and variance of the PDM are presented. The PDM can distinguish closely spaced sources with different and unknown center frequencies as long as they are separated with at least one frequency bin. The simulation results show that the PDM has a better resolution than that of the conventional beamforming.

A new setup to tune the center wavelength of FBGs

A novel opening loop structure of fiber Bragg grating is proposed. From the analysis of the strain distribution at the side of the opening loop we found that the structure can be used as a new setup to linearly tune the central wavelength of the fiber Bragg gating. The setup is an uniform fiber Bragg grating bonded to the side of a beam which can produce an uniform strain. The experimental results show that the wavelength range of linear tuning is about 5.0 nm,the sensitivity is about 3. ]8 nm/N and the linearity is up to 0. 9988.The largest tuning range of the setup is about 11. 0 nm while the linearity is 0. 9941 in the ranae of 0 and 11. 0 nm. ExPerimental results are in good agreement with our theoretical analysis.

Effects of temperature, salinity, and irradiance on the growth of harmful algal bloom species Phaeocystis globosa Scherffel(Prymnesiophyceae) isolated from the South China Sea

Blooms of Phaeocystis globosa have been frequently reported in Chinese coastal waters, causing serious damage to marine ecosystems. To better understand the ecological characteristics of P. globosa in Chinese coastal waters that facilitate its rapid expansion, the effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of P. globosa from the South China Sea were examined in the laboratory. The saturating irradiance for the growth ofP. globosa （Is） was 60 μmol/（m^2·s）, which was lower than those of other harmful algal species （70-114μmol/（m^2·s））. A moderate growth rate of 0.22/d was observed at 2 μmol/（m^2·s） （the minimum irradiance in the experiment）, and photo-inhibition did not occur at 230 μmol/（m^2·s） （the maximum irradiance in the experiment）. Exposed to 42 different combinations of temperatures （10- 31 ℃） and salinities （10-40） under saturating irradiance, P. globosa exhibited its maximum specific growth rate of 0.80/d at the combinations of 24℃ and 35, and 27℃ and 40. The optimum growth rates （〉0.80/d） were observed at temperatures ranging from 24 to 27℃ and salinities from 35 to 40. While P. globosa was able to grow well at temperatures from 20℃ to 31℃ and salinities from 20 to 40, it could not grow at temperatures lower than 15℃ or salinities lower than 15. Factorial analysis revealed that temperature and salinity has similar influences on the growth of this species. This strain ofP. globosa not only prefers higher temperatures and higher salinity, but also possesses a flexible nutrient competing strategy, adapted to lower irradiance. Therefore, the P. globosa population from South China Sea should belong to a new ecotype. There is also a potentially high risk of blooms developing in this area throughout the year.

S‐Scheme 2D/2D Bi_(2)MoO_(6)/BiOI van der Waals heterojunction for CO_(2) photoreduction

Reducing CO_(2) to hydrocarbon fuels by solar irradiation provides a feasible channel for mitigating excessive CO_(2) emissions and addressing resource depletion.Nevertheless,severe charge recombi‐nation and the high energy barrier for CO_(2) photoreduction on the surface of photocatalysts com‐promise the catalytic performance.Herein,a 2D/2D Bi_(2)MoO_(6)/BiOI composite was fabricated to achieve improved CO_(2) photoreduction efficiency.Charge transfer in the composite was facilitated by the van der Waals heterojunction with a large‐area interface.Work function calculation demon‐strated that S‐scheme charge transfer is operative in the composite,and effective charge separation and strong redox capability were revealed by time‐resolved photoluminescence and electron para‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy.Moreover,the intermediates of CO_(2) photoreduction were identi‐fied based on the in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier‐transform spectra.Density functional theory calculations showed that CO_(2) hydrogenation is the rate‐determining step for yielding CH_(4) and CO.Introducing Bi_(2)MoO_(6) into the composite further decreased the energy barrier for CO_(2) photoreduction on BiOI by 0.35 eV.This study verifies the synergistic effect of the S‐scheme heterojunction and van der Waals heterojunction in the 2D/2D composite.

Modified Fisheye Optical System

A design for a fisheye optical system is modified in order to enable IR vision in addition to the visible and UV lighting. The proposed modification goes to replace the optical material of the movable lens by another with less thermal dispersion. The choice of appropriate materials lead to a good focus appeared on the retina for a wide spectral range includes UV, visible, and near IR lighting. Then, the performance of the modified design is verified through some optical measures for imaging quality determinations. These optical measures are determined with the aid of Zemax software, which also used for testing performance of the modified fisheye optical system. The analysis mainly focuses on the energy distribution in the light spot on the focal surface. The results show that the modified design of the fisheye is acceptable.

The Equilibrium Range of Wind Wave Spectra: an Explanation Based on White Noise

Laboratory experiments and field observations show that the equilibrium range of wind wave spectra presents a – 4 power law when it is scaled properly. This feature has been attributed to energy balance in spectral space by many researchers. In this paper we point out that white noise on an oscillation system can also lead to a similar inverse power law in the corresponding displacement spectrum, implying that the – 4 power law for the equilibrium range of wind wave spectra may probably only reflect the randomicity of the wind waves rather than any other dynamical processes in physical space. This explanation may shed light on the mechanism of other physical processes with spectra also showing an inverse power law, such as isotropic turbulence, internal waves, etc.

A selective optical chemical sensor for the determination of iodine based on fluorescence quenching of LiTOE

An optical chemical sensor has been developed for the determination of iodine based on the reversible fluorescence quenching of 2, 2, 7, 7, 12, 12, 17, 17-octamethyl-21, 22, 23, 24-tetraoxaquaterene-Li （LiTOE） immobilized in a plasticized poly（vinyl chloride） （PVC） membrane. The optimum membrane of the sensor consists of 100 mg of PVC, 200 mg of bis （2-ethytbexyl） sebacate （BOS） and 3.0 mg of LiTOE. The maximum response of the optode membrane for iodine is obtained in Tris-HCl buffer solutlon （pH 8.0）. With the optimum conditions described, the proposed sensor responds linearly in the measuring range of 3.90×10^-2 to 3.90×10^-4 mol/L, and has a detection limit of 6.0×10^-8 mol/L. The response time of the sensor is less than I rain. In addition to high reproducibility and reversibility of the fluorescence signal, the sensor also exhibits good selectivity. It is not interfered by some common anions and cations. It is applied for the determination of iodine in table salt samples. The results agree with those obtained by another method.

Phosphorene-Based van der Waals Heterojunction for Solar Water Splitting

As a clean and renewable future energy source, hydrogen fuel can be produced via solar water splitting. Two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorene (black-P) can harvest visible light due to the desirable band gap, which promises it as a metal-free photocatalyst. However, black-P can be only used to produce hydrogen since the oxidation potential of water locates lower than the position of the valence band maximum. To improve the photocatalytic performance of black-P, here, using black-P and blue phosphorene (blue-P) monolayers, we propose a 2D van der Waals (vdW) heterojunction. Theoretical results, including the band structures, density of states, Bader charge population, charge density di erence, and optical absorption spectra, clearly reveal that the visible light absorption ability is obviously improved, and the band edge alignment of the proposed vdW heterojunction displays a typical type-II feature to effectively separate the photogenerated carriers. At the same time, the built-in interfacial electric field prevents the electron-hole recombination. These predictions suggest that the examined phosphorene-based vdW heterojunction is an efficient photocatalyst for solar water splitting.

Density, pH, viscosity, conductivity and the Raman spectra of aqueous NaB（OH）4 solutions precisely measured as functions of concentration at different temperatures （293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15 K） are presented. Polyborate distributions in aqueous NaB（OH）4 solution were calculated, covering all the concentration range, B（OH）4 is the most dominant species, other polyborate anions are less than 5.0%. The volumetric and the transport properties were discussed in detail, both of these properties indicate that B（OH）4 behaves as a struc- ture-disordered anion.

Manifestation If Substance Molecular Structure in Temperature Effects of Light Scattering

DCMSL （depolarization components of molecular scattering of light） have been studied within the wide spectral range （0-200 cm-1） and in the temperature intervals （20-200 ℃） in toluol （C6HsCH3） and aniline （C6HsNH2）. It has been shown that when a liquid is heated and temperatures approach to critical ones, a significant contribution of DCMSL is made by vibration motion of molecules. The special properties of the temperature-frequency behavior of DCMSL spectra are discussed from the view point of hindered rotation of liquid molecules with consideration of intermolecular interaction.

Influence of Filtration Processes on Aqueous Nanostructures by NIR Spectroscopy

Filtration processes are worldwide used for sterilizing solutions and substrates. Filtration seems to induce the formation of aqueous nanostructures. The aim of this work was to verify the influence of filtration processes on water structure detected by spectral variations in NIR region. Samples of ultrapure water （MilliQ-Millipore, Vimodrone, Milan, Italy） before and after iterated filtrations were analyzed. NIR spectra were collected in transmission mode in the whole NIR range, by using NIRFIex N500 spectrometer at constant temperature （40 ± 1 ℃）. NIR data were processed using Unscrambler software v. 9.2 in evaluating qualitative differences between filtered and not filtered samples. The information related to possible solvent physical stresses were highlighted in the range 6500-7500 cm^-1. The shifts observed were ascribable to a different distribution of the number of water molecules involved in hydrogen bonds in filtered and not filtered water samples, at constant temperature. NIR spectroscopy, commonly used to study relationship between spectral changes and hydrogen bonds in water at increasing temperature values, was applied to evaluate effects of filtration processes on water structure. The obtained results are in agreement with literature data and allowed the improvement of the knowledge about pure water characteristics when some mechanical perturbations are applied.

Influence of Signal and Noise on Statistical Fluctuation of Single-Mode Laser System

On the basis of calculating the steady-state mean normalized intensity fluctuation of a signal-mode laser system driven by both colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between its real and imaginary parts, we analyze the influence of modulation signal, noise, and its correlation form on the statistical fluctuation of the laser system. We have found that when the amplitude of modulation signal weakens and its frequency quickens, the statistical fluctuation will reduce rapidly. The by reducing the intensity of pump noise and quantum noise. statistical fluctuation of the laser system can be restrained Moreover, with prolonging of colored cross-correlation time, the statistical fluctuation of laser system experiences a repeated changing process, that is, from decreasing to augmenting, then to decreasing, and finally to augmenting again. With the decreasing of the value of cross-correlation coe~cient, the statistical fluctuation will decrease too. When the cross-correlation form between the real part and imaginary part of quantum noise is zero correlation, the statistical fluctuation of laser system has a minimum. Compared with the influence of intensity of pump noise, the influence of intensity of quantum noise on the statistical fluctuation is smaller.

The laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of jet-cooled NiS molecule has been recorded in the energy range of 15500 17200 cm-1. Fifteen bands have been assigned as three transition progressions：[15.65]^3Ⅱ1（v′=0-4）-X^3∑0^-（v″=0）,[15.69]^3∑0^-（v′=0-4）-X^3∑0^-（v″=0）,and [15.81]^3Ⅱ1（v′=0-4）-X^3∑0^-（v″=0）.Spectroscopic constants for the three newly identified electronically excited states have been determined for the first time. In addition,the lifetimes for most observed vibronic bands have also been measured.

Study on the Determination of Trace Ni(II) by the Catalytic Kinetic Spectrophotometric Method

A new kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of trace Ni （Ⅱ in natural water. The method is based on the catalytic effect of Ni （Ⅱ） on the oxidation of weak acid brilliant blue dye （RAWL） by KIO4 in acid medium. The concentration of nickel （Ⅱ） can be determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease of absorbance of RAWL at λ = 626 nm using the fix-time method. The influencing factors are investigated by the orthogonal experimental design. The obtained optimum analytical conditions are： pH = 2.00, CRAWL = 5.00×10^-5 mol·L^-1, c KlO4 = 2.00× 10^-5 mol·L^-1, the reaction time t= 10min and the temperature T = 25 ℃. Under the optimum conditions, the developed method allows the measurement of Ni （Ⅱ） in a range of 0 - 40.0ngmL1. The standard deviation of eleven independent measurements of blank reaction is S = 3.08× 10^-3 and the limit of detection is 2.20ng·mL^-1. The relative standard deviations （RSDs） in six replicate determinations of 5 ngmL-1 and 8 ngmL1 Ni （Ⅱ） are 2.87% and 1.11%, respectively. Moreover, the experiments show few cations and anions can interfere with the measurement of Ni （Ⅱ）. The recovery efficiencies of this method are in a range of 97.0%-102.5% in freshwater samples. But there is a decreasing effect, which is about 0.2 times the added Ni （Ⅱ） in seawater medium. After reasonable calibration this processing method is used for the determination of Ni （Ⅱ） in seawater samples successfully. The results show this developed method has high accuracy and precision, high sensitivity, large range of linearity and high speed. The method can, therefore, be employed at room temperature.

Design of a Mobile Photovoltaic Module System for Demonstration and Experimentation

In Mexico, owing to solar radiation conditions, there is great potential for PV （photovoltaic） systems. Besides, since 2007, the solar electricity interconnection agreement became official which allowed for an important growth of the photovoltaic industry. Due to the important development of the PV industry, there is a need for engineers trained to design, install, and evaluate PV systems The UAEMEX （autonomous university of the state of Mexico） offers a new bachelor degree of engineering program which dedicated to the development of sustainable energy systems. This kind of programs requires special equipment for experimentation and practice Specialists at UAEMEX also detected the need for a system to evaluate and demonstrate the application of PV modules, but they also found that most of the systems on the market are very expensive and unable to evaluate different arrangements. The goal of this paper is to present the design of a mobile system to evaluate PV modules and arrangements. This system is useful, not only for demonstration practices, but also for experimentation with different materials and types of PV panels. The design allows for two or four PV modules to be assembled in different positions and inclinations. The prototype is equipped with a data acquisition system that will be used to obtain the PV module performance curves. It will also be used to evaluate the atmospheric, interference and shadow effects on these modules. This prototype will be used to complement the practice learning of solar PV systems, but also to demonstrate the use of PV modules. The prototype is being design and constructed by a group of mechanical and electronic engineering students and this fact will be useful to meet the needs of basic science, math, and engineering teaching objectives in an integrated and hands-on way project. The essential features of system are described. A comparative analysis of the systems on the market is carried out. Also presented are the learning advantages for the students involved in the design and construction of this kind of systems, as well as a summary of practices that may be performed with the equipment.
