Triplet Exciton Transition Induced Highly Efficient Fluorescent Channel in Organic Electroluminescence

The in.jection of charge carriers from the electron/hole injection or transport layers in polymer light-emitting diodes potentially increases the device efficiency not by changing of charge intensity but by lattice distortion variation and quasi-particle interactions. From the low-dimensional condensed matter physics perspective, a valid mechanism is proposed to bring a type of novel channels that, under a proper external electric field, transition- forbidden triplet excitons are transformed and partially charged by charge carriers （polarons/bipolarons）, thus are able to emit light and to enhance fluorescence greatly.

An Efficient CSI Feedback Scheme for Dual-Polarized MIMO Systems Using Layered Multi-Paths Information

Massive MIMO is one of tile enabling technologies tbr beyond 4G and 5G systems due to its ability to provide beamforming gain and reduce interference Dual-polarized antenna is widely adopted to accommodate a large number of antenna elements in limited space. However, current CSI（channel state information） feedback schemes developed in LTE for conventional MIMO systems are not efficient enough for massive MIMO systems since the overhead increases almost linearly with the number of antenna. Moreover, the codebook for massive MIMO will be huge and difficult to design with the LTE methodology. This paper proposes a novel CSI feedback scheme named layered Multi-paths Information based CSI Feedback （LMPIF）, which can achieve higher spectrum efficiency for dual-polarized antenna system with low feedback overhead. The MIMO channel is decomposed into long term components （multipath directions and amplitudes） and short term components （multipath phases）. The relationship between the two components and the optimal precoder is derived in closed form. To reduce the overhead, different granularities in feedback time have been applied for the long term components and short term components Link and system level simulation results prove that LMPIF can improve performance considerably with low CSI feedback overhead.

Efficient and Secure Authenticated Quantum Dialogue Protocols over Collective-Noise Channels

Based on the deterministic secure quantum communication, we present a novel quantum dialogue protocol with- out information leakage over the collective noise channel. The logical qubits and four-qubit decoherence-free states are introduced for resisting against collective-dephasing noise, collective-rotation noise and all kinds of unitary collective noise, respectively. Compared with the existing similar protocols, the analyses on security and information-theoretical emciency show that the proposed protocol is more secure and emeient.

Adaptive Energy-Efficient Power Allocation for DAS with Imperfect Channel State Information and Antenna Selection

Considering that perfect channel state information(CSI) is difficult to obtain in practice,energy efficiency(EE) for distributed antenna systems(DAS) based on imperfect CSI and antennas selection is investigated in Rayleigh fading channel.A novel EE that is defined as the average transmission rate divided by the total consumed power is introduced.In accordance with this definition,an adaptive power allocation(PA) scheme for DAS is proposed to maximize the EE under the maximum transmit power constraint.The solution of PA in the constrained EE optimization does exist and is unique.A practical iterative algorithm with Newton method is presented to obtain the solution of PA.The proposed scheme includes the one under perfect CSI as a special case,and it only needs large scale and statistical information.As a result,the scheme has low overhead and good robustness.The theoretical EE is also derived for performance evaluation,and simulation result shows the validity of the theoretical analysis.Moreover,EE can be enhanced by decreasing the estimation error and/or path loss exponents.

Deep learning-based automated grading of visual impairment in cataract patients using fundus images

Cataract is the leading cause of visual impairment globally.The scarcity and uneven distribution of ophthalmologists seriously hinder early visual impairment grading for cataract patients in the clin-ic.In this study,a deep learning-based automated grading system of visual impairment in cataract patients is proposed using a multi-scale efficient channel attention convolutional neural network(MECA_CNN).First,the efficient channel attention mechanism is applied in the MECA_CNN to extract multi-scale features of fundus images,which can effectively focus on lesion-related regions.Then,the asymmetric convolutional modules are embedded in the residual unit to reduce the infor-mation loss of fine-grained features in fundus images.In addition,the asymmetric loss function is applied to address the problem of a higher false-negative rate and weak generalization ability caused by the imbalanced dataset.A total of 7299 fundus images derived from two clinical centers are em-ployed to develop and evaluate the MECA_CNN for identifying mild visual impairment caused by cataract(MVICC),moderate to severe visual impairment caused by cataract(MSVICC),and nor-mal sample.The experimental results demonstrate that the MECA_CNN provides clinically meaning-ful performance for visual impairment grading in the internal test dataset:MVICC(accuracy,sensi-tivity,and specificity;91.3%,89.9%,and 92%),MSVICC(93.2%,78.5%,and 96.7%),and normal sample(98.1%,98.0%,and 98.1%).The comparable performance in the external test dataset is achieved,further verifying the effectiveness and generalizability of the MECA_CNN model.This study provides a deep learning-based practical system for the automated grading of visu-al impairment in cataract patients,facilitating the formulation of treatment strategies in a timely man-ner and improving patients’vision prognosis.

A Learning-Based Channel Model for Synergetic Transmission Technology

It is extensively approved that Channel State Information(CSI) plays an important role for synergetic transmission and interference management. However, pilot overhead to obtain CSI with enough precision is a significant issue for wireless communication networks with massive antennas and ultra-dense cell. This paper proposes a learning- based channel model, which can estimate, refine, and manage CSI for a synergetic transmission system. It decomposes the channel impulse response into multiple paths, and uses a learning-based algorithm to estimate paths' parameters without notable degradation caused by sparse pilots. Both indoor measurement and outdoor measurement are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed channel model preliminarily.

CO_2-triggered gelation for mobility control and channeling blocking during CO_2 flooding processes

CO2 flooding is regarded as an important method for enhanced oil recovery （EOR） and greenhouse gas control. However, the heterogeneity prevalently dis- tributed in reservoirs inhibits the performance of this technology. The sweep efficiency can be significantly reduced especially in the presence of ＂thief zones＂. Hence, gas channeling blocking and mobility control are important technical issues for the success of CO2 injection. Normally, crosslinked gels have the potential to block gas channels, but the gelation time control poses challenges to this method. In this study, a new method for selectively blocking CO2 channeling is proposed, which is based on a type of CO2-sensitive gel system （modified polyacry- lamide-methenamine-resorcinol gel system） to form gel in situ. A CO2-sensitive gel system is when gelation or solidification will be triggered by CO2 in the reservoir to block gas channels. The CO2-sensitivity of the gel system was demonstrated in parallel bottle tests of gel in N2 and CO2 atmospheres. Sand pack flow experiments were con- ducted to investigate the shutoff capacity of the gel system under different conditions. The injectivity of the gel system was studied via viscosity measurements. The results indi- cate that this gel system was sensitive to CO2 and had good performance of channeling blocking in porous media. Advantageous viscosity-temperature characteristics were achieved in this work. The effectiveness for EOR in heterogeneous formations based on this gel system was demonstrated using displacement tests conducted in double sand packs. The experimental results can provide guideli- nes for the deployment of theCO2-sensitive gel system for field applications.

In this work, we analyze the efficiency of simple slotted ALOHA scheme, and then propose a novel allocation scheme that controls the random access period and packet transmission probability to optimize channel efficiency. NS-2 simulations have been carried out to evaluate its performance. The simulation results demonstrate significant performance improvement in latency and throughput using the proposed MAC algorithm.

Priority-based adaptive transmission algorithm for medical devices in wireless body area networks(WBANs)

A wireless body area network offers cost-effective solutions for healthcare infrastructure. An adaptive transmission algorithm is designed to handle channel efficiency, which adjusts packet size according to the difference in feature-point values that indicate biomedical signal characteristics. Furthermore, we propose a priority-adjustment method that enhances quality of service while guaranteeing signal integrity. A large number of simulations were carried out for performance evaluation. We use electrocardiogram and electromyogram signals as reference biomedical signals for performance verification. From the simulation results, we find that the average packet latency of proposed scheme is enhanced by 30% compared to conventional method. The simulation results also demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvement in terms of drop rates of high-priority packets around 0.3%-0.9 %.

With the rapid development of information technology,information system security and insider threat detection have become important topics for organizational management.In the current network environment,user behavioral bio-data presents the characteristics of nonlinearity and temporal sequence.Most of the existing research on authentication based on user behavioral biometrics adopts the method of manual feature extraction.They do not adequately capture the nonlinear and time-sequential dependencies of behavioral bio-data,and also do not adequately reflect the personalized usage characteristics of users,leading to bottlenecks in the performance of the authentication algorithm.In order to solve the above problems,this paper proposes a Temporal Convolutional Network method based on an Efficient Channel Attention mechanism(ECA-TCN)to extract user mouse dynamics features and constructs an one-class Support Vector Machine(OCSVM)for each user for authentication.Experimental results show that compared with four existing deep learning algorithms,the method retains more adequate key information and improves the classification performance of the neural network.In the final authentication,the Area Under the Curve(AUC)can reach 96%.
