Image encryption scheme by using iterative random phase encoding in gyrator transform domains

An image encryption is discussed based on the random phase encoding method in gyrator domains. An iterative structure of image encryption is designed for introducing more random phases to encrypt image. These random phase functions are generated by a two-dimensional chaotic mapping with the help of computer. The random phases are utilized for increasing the security of this encryption algorithm. In the chaotic mapping relation, the initial value and expression can serve as the key of algorithm. The mapping relation is considered secretly for storage and transmission in practical application in comparison to traditional algorithms. The angle parameter of gyrator transform is an additional key. Some numerical simulations have been given to validate the performance of the encryption scheme.     

Template-free synthesis of TS-1 zeolite film on tubular mullite support

The TS-1 film on tubular mullite support was prepared by secondary growth via template-free route using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT) as silica and titanium sources. The as-made films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). Continuous TS-1 seed layer was bonded tightly to the mullite substrates. After secondary growth in the template-free synthesis solution, intergrown TS-1 zeolite film with the typical MFI-type structure was formed on the outer surface of support. The Si atoms in zeolitic lattice were found to be isomorphously substituted by Ti atoms which existed only in tetrahedral coordination. The thickness of the obtained TS-1 zeolite film was less than 20 μm.     

Performance Enhancement of Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells with Direct Growth of CdS‐Cluster‐Decorated Graphene Nanosheets

Two‐dimensional graphene–CdS (G–CdS) semiconductor hybrid nanosheets were synthesized in situ by graphene oxide (GO) quantum wells and a metal–xanthate precursor through a one‐step growth process. Incorporation of G–CdS nanosheets into a photoactive film consisting of poly[4,8‐bis‐(2‐ethyl‐hexyl‐thiophene‐5‐yl)‐benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b]dithiophene‐2,6‐diyl]‐alt‐[2‐(2‐ethyl‐hexanoyl)‐thieno[3,4‐b]thiophen‐4,6‐diyl] (PBDTTT‐C‐T) and [6,6]‐phenyl C₇₀ butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₀BM) effectively decreases the exciton lifetime to accelerate exciton dissociation. More importantly, the decreasing energy levels of PBDTTT‐C‐T, PC₇₀BM, and G–CdS produces versatile heterojunction interfaces of PBDTTT‐C‐T:PC₇₀BM, PBDTTT‐C‐T:G–CdS, and PBDTTT‐C‐T:PC₇₀BM:G–CdS; this offers multi‐charge‐transfer channels for more efficient charge separation and transfer. The charge transfer in the blend film also depends on the G–CdS nanosheet loadings. In addition, G–CdS nanosheets improve light utilization and charge mobility in the photoactive layer. As a result, by incorporation of G–CdS nanosheets into the active layer, the power‐conversion efficiency of inverted solar cells based on PBDTTT‐C‐T and PC₇₁BM is improved from 6.0 % for a reference device without G–CdS nanosheets to 7.5 % for the device with 1.5wt % G–CdS nanosheets, due to the dramatically enhanced short‐circuit current. Combined with the advantageous mechanical properties of the PBDTTT‐C‐T:PC₇₀BM:G–CdS active layer, the novel CdS‐cluster‐decorated graphene hybrid nanomaterials provide a promising approach to improve the device performance.     

Direct Anisotropic Growth of CdS Nanocrystals in Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Templates for Heterojunction Optoelectronics

The direct growth of CdS nanocrystals in functional solid‐state thermotropic liquid crystal (LC) small molecules and a conjugated LC polymer by in situ thermal decomposition of a single‐source cadmium xanthate precursor to fabricate LC/CdS hybrid nanocomposites is described. The influence of thermal annealing temperature of the LC/CdS precursors upon the nanomorphology, photophysics, and optoelectronic properties of the LC/CdS nanocomposites is systematically studied. Steady‐state PL and ultrafast emission dynamics studies show that the charge‐transfer rates are strongly dependent on the thermal annealing temperature. Notably, annealing at liquid‐crystal state temperature promotes a more organized nanomorphology of the LC/CdS nanocomposites with improved photophysics and optoelectronic properties. The results confirm that thermotropic LCs can be ideal candidates as organization templates for the control of organic/inorganic hybrid nanocomposites at the nanoscale level. The results also demonstrate that in situ growth of semiconducting nanocrystals in thermotropic LCs is a versatile route to hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites and optoelectronic devices.

猪瘟病毒E2基因pGEME2重组质粒仍具有α互补作用

在利用pGEM-T载体克隆猪瘟病毒石门株E2 基因中发现,E2 基因以与lacZ相同方向插入时,重组质粒仍具有α互补作用,呈典型的蓝色菌落,而以与lacZ基因相反方向插入时,重组质粒无α互补作用,呈白色菌落. 经E2 蛋白检测、序列分析、重组质粒缺失和插入等研究,结果表明pGEME2 的α互补作用产生机制不同于目前人们已知的机制. 它由外源E2 基因内部起始合成新的α肽,从而赋于其α互补作用. 此结果表明利用α互补作用并不能筛选到全部克隆.
