A New Deep Dual Temporal Domain Adaptation Method for Online Detection of Bearings Early Fault

With the quick development of sensor technology in recent years, online detection of early fault without system halt has received much attention in the field of bearing prognostics and health management. While lacking representative samples of the online data, one can try to adapt the previously-learned detection rule to the online detection task instead of training a new rule merely using online data. As one may come across a change of the data distribution between offline and online working conditions, it is challenging to utilize the data from different working conditions to improve detection accuracy and robustness. To solve this problem, a new online detection method of bearing early fault is proposed in this paper based on deep transfer learning. The proposed method contains an offline stage and an online stage. In the offline stage, a new state assessment method is proposed to determine the period of the normal state and the degradation state for whole-life degradation sequences. Moreover, a new deep dual temporal domain adaptation (DTDA) model is proposed. By adopting a dual adaptation strategy on the time convolutional network and domain adversarial neural network, the DTDA model can effectively extract domain-invariant temporal feature representation. In the online stage, each sequentially-arrived data batch is directly fed into the trained DTDA model to recognize whether an early fault occurs. Furthermore, a health indicator of target bearing is also built based on the DTDA features to intuitively evaluate the detection results. Experiments are conducted on the IEEE Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) Challenge 2012 bearing dataset. The results show that, compared with nine state-of-the-art fault detection and diagnosis methods, the proposed method can get an earlier detection location and lower false alarm rate.     

Average coherence with respect to complementary measurements

We investigate the average coherence with respect to a complete set of complementary measurements.By using a Wigner-Yanase skew information-based coherence measure introduced in Luo and Sun(2017 Phys.Rev.A 96,022130),we evaluate the average coherence of a state with respect to any complete set of mutually unbiased measurements and general symmetric informationally complete measurements,respectively.We also establish analytically the relations among these average coherences.     

SO_2和NO_2在γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面吸附的第一性原理计算

采用基于平面波基组的Vienna Ab-initio Simulations Package (VASP)程序研究了SO_2和NO_2在γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面和羟基化γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面的吸附,获得了SO_2和NO_2吸附的不同构型和结构参数.对吸附能,电荷转移,差分电荷密度和投影态密度等进行分析和讨论.对比发现,在γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面SO_2的吸附能力强于NO_2.SO_2或NO_2在非羟基化γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面吸附时O原子的2p轨道和Al原子的3s3p轨道作用形成O-Al键,且SO_2吸附时键结强度高于NO_2.NO_2吸附时费米能级以下有部分反键态,削弱了与γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面相互作用.在羟基化γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面SO_2或NO_2的吸附能力会低于非羟基化表面,但是SO_2的吸附能力依旧强于NO_2.计算结果说明SO_2与γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面的相互作用强于NO_2.以上研究,将有助于理解SO_2和NO_2在γ-Al_2O_3的反应性,为进一步研究它们的非均相转化和在灰霾形成中的促进作用奠定基础.     

钕敏化多层壳纳米结构的增强型染料敏化上转换发光

对于稀土离子掺杂的上转换发光,由于稀土离子吸收截面小、吸收范围窄,导致其发光强度受限。最近,在稀土上转换纳米粒子的表面连接近红外染料分子敏化发光,被证实是提高上转换发光强度的有效策略。然而,将染料分子连接经典的稀土Yb掺杂纳米粒子,并不能有效利用染料分子的敏化能力。针对这一问题,本文通过高温热分解法成功制备了Nd³⁺敏化的核/壳/壳(NaYF₄:Yb/Er(20/2%)@NaYF₄:Yb(10%)@NaYF₄:Nd(80%))纳米结构,与经典的IR-806敏化的NaYF₄:Yb/Er纳米结构相比,IR-806敏化的Nd³⁺掺杂的核/壳/壳纳米结构的上转换发光(500~700 nm)强度增强了约38倍。通过荧光光谱及荧光寿命分析证实,上转换发光强度增强源于Nd的吸收与近红外染料分子的有效交叠,以及壳层结构对发光中心的保护作用(Er³⁺(⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2)的寿命延长了1.7倍)。另外,研究发现纳米壳层结构中最外层掺杂的Yb³⁺离子将导致染料敏化发光减弱。进一步,这种IR-806敏化的Nd掺杂的核/壳/壳纳米结构可实现增强发光中心为Ho及Tm的上转换发光。本文研究为提高染料敏化上转换发光及应用提供了新途径。     

Tb3+掺杂锂铝硅酸盐玻璃的光致发光和辐照致发光

采用熔融-淬冷法制备了Tb3+掺杂锂铝硅酸盐闪烁玻璃,用紫外激发光谱、发射光谱及荧光寿命表征了光致发光性能,用X射线和阴极射线激发测试了辐射致发光性能。研究结果表明：低Tb3+掺杂浓度时,随着其浓度增大,Tb3+间的交叉弛豫增加导致了5D₃→7F_j跃迁的能量逐渐向5D₄→7F_j迁移转变,5D₃激发态的荧光寿命和发射强度均明显下降,5D₄-7F_j发射强度逐渐增大。较高Tb3+浓度时,其浓度继续增加会提升非辐射比例,是荧光寿命降低和荧光猝灭的最主要原因。比较光致发光和辐照致发光性能,发现随着激发源的能量上升,会增加激发态5D₃能级向5D₄能级的能量转移,同时,由于玻璃的密度低会导致辐照致发光效率随激发源的能量上升而下降。     

自旋轨道耦合Su-Schrieffer-Heeger原子链系统的电子输运特性

在Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH)原子链中,电子在胞内和胞间的跳跃依赖于其自旋时,即SSH原子链存在自旋轨道耦合作用时,存在不同缠绕数的非平庸拓扑边缘态.如何探测自旋轨道耦合SSH原子链不同缠绕数的边缘态是一个重要问题.本文在紧束缚近似下研究了自旋轨道耦合SSH原子链的非平庸拓扑边缘态性质及其零能附近的电子输运特性.研究发现四重和二重简并边缘态的缠绕数分别为2和1;并且仅当源极入射电子的自旋被极化(铁磁电极)时,自旋轨道耦合SSH原子链在零能附近的电子输运特性才能反映其边缘态的能谱特性.尤其是,随着自旋轨道耦合SSH原子链与左、右导线之间的耦合强度由弱到强改变,对于缠绕数为2的四重简并边缘态,入射电子在零能附近的透射峰数目将从4个变为0;而对于缠绕数为1的二重简并边缘态情形,其透射峰数目将从2个变为0.因此,在源极为铁磁电极的情形下,通过观察自旋轨道耦合SSH原子链在零能附近电子共振透射峰的数目随着其与左、右导线之间耦合强度的变化,来探测其不同缠绕数的边缘态.上述结果为基于电子输运特性探测自旋轨道耦合SSH原子链不同拓扑性质的边缘态提供了一种可选择的理论方案.     

Efficient photocatalytic degradation of methyl violet with two metall–organic frameworks

Two metal–organic frameworks, [Co₂(L)(H₂O)₂(4,4′-bipy)]·3CH₃CN (1) and [Mn₂(L)(1,10-phen)(H₂O)]·H₂O (2) (H₄L = 5-[bis(4-carboxybenzyl)-amino]isophthalic acid; 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, 1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), with two different N-donor ligands have been synthesized. The structures of both MOFs were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. MOF 1 shows 3D uncommon (4,6,6)-c net with (4.5³.6²)₂(5⁷.6⁶.8²)(4².5⁴.6⁶.7².8) topology while in the case of 2, only L^4? ligands link Mn(II) ions into a 2D layer structure with chelating 1,10-phen ligand. The results demonstrate that variation in the N-donor ligands plays a pivotal role in deciding the framework of the two MOFs. Both MOFs have been exploited as photocatalyst materials for the degradation of MV. The photocatalysis results indicate that the two MOFs are stable and are prospective candidates for degradation of methyl violet under UV light irradiation. Additionally, 2 displayed superior photocatalytic activity in comparison to 1. The probable photocatalytic activity mechanism for both 1 and 2 against MV has been proposed using density of states (DOS) calculations.     

Signal-Induced Release of Guests from a Photolatent Metal–Phenolic Supramolecular Cage and Its Hybrid Assemblies

The coordination chemistry of plant polyphenols and metal ions can be used for coating various substrates and for creating modular superstructures. We herein explored this chemistry for the controlled release of guests from mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The selective adsorption of tannic acids (TAs) on MSN silica walls opens the MSN mesoporous channels without disturbing mass transport. The channel may be closed by the coordination of TA with Cu^II ions. Upon exposure to light, photolysis of Trojan horse guests (photoacid generators, PAGs) leads to acid generation, which enables the release of payloads by decomposing the outer coordination shell consisting of TA and Cu^II. We also fabricated a modular assembly of MSNs on glass substrates. The photoresponsive release characteristics of the resulting film are similar to those of the individual MSNs. This method is a fast and facile strategy for producing photoresponsive nanocontainers by non-covalent engineering of MSN surfaces that should be suitable for various applications in materials science.     

In-tip nanoreactors for cancer cells proteome profiling

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteome profiling is essential for molecular diagnostics in modern biomedical study. To date, sample preparation including protein extraction and proteolysis is still very challenging and lack of efficiency. Recently tips-based sample preparation protocols exhibit strong potentials to achieve the goal of “a proteome in an hour”. However, in-tip proteolysis is still rarely reported and far from ideal for dealing with complex bio-samples. In this work, nanoreactors encapsulated micropipette tips were demonstrated as high performance devices for fast (∼minutes) and multiplexing proteolysis to assist the profiling of cancer cells proteome. Nanoporous silica materials with controlled pore size and surface chemistry were prepared as nanoreactors and encapsulated in micropipette tips for efficient in situ proteolysis. The as-constructed device showed desirable sensitivity (LOD of 0.204 ± 0.008 ng/μL and LOQ of 0.937 ± 0.055 ng/μL), selectivity, stability (two months under −20 °C), reusability (at least 10 times), and little memory effect in MS based bottom-up proteomic analysis. It was used for comprehensive protein mapping from cancer cell lines. The number of identified proteins was increased by 18%, 22%, 52%, and 52% dealing with HepG2, F56, MCF7, and HCCLM3 cancer cells, compared to traditional in-solution proteolysis based bottom-up proteomic strategy. With the enhanced performance, our work built a novel, efficient and miniaturized platform for facile proteomic sample preparation, which is promising for advanced biomarkers discovery in biomedical study.     

Ring-contraction from benzo[b][1,4]thiazines to benzo[d]thiazolines induced by oxygen

An unexpected ring-contraction from benzo[b]pyrazino[1,2-d][1,4]thiazine-1,4-diones (6) to benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-diones (7) has been developed. The preliminary mechanistic studies showed the transformation contained two independent steps: the first step is the formation of a Michael adduct upon the addition of the protic solvent, in the presence of base, to the C-2-C-3 double bond of compound 6, and the second step is a ring-contraction induced by oxygen via the migration of sulfur atom from C-2 to C-3 position. And its scope is also studied.
