Iteratively weighted thresholding homotopy method for the sparse solution of underdetermined linear equations

Recently, iteratively reweighted methods have attracted much interest in compressed sensing, outperforming their unweighted counterparts in most cases. In these methods, decision variables and weights are optimized alternatingly, or decision variables are optimized under heuristically chosen weights. In this paper,we present a novel weighted l1-norm minimization problem for the sparsest solution of underdetermined linear equations. We propose an iteratively weighted thresholding method for this problem, wherein decision variables and weights are optimized simultaneously. Furthermore, we prove that the iteration process will converge eventually. Using the homotopy technique, we enhance the performance of the iteratively weighted thresholding method. Finally, extensive computational experiments show that our method performs better in terms of both running time and recovery accuracy compared with some state-of-the-art methods.     

地面积水与装甲目标毫米波被动探测信号差异研究

以往毫米波被动探测中以平面金属目标代替立体金属目标(如装甲目标),而平面金属目标的探测信号又和地面积水的探测信号非常相似,所以导致这三种目标难以分辨。针对这一问题,从毫米波被动探测平面金属、积水、装甲目标探测信号的基本理论出发,通过建立目标模型、推导天线温度计算模型,仿真得到了这三种目标的探测信号,查找信号差异并分析总结了造成差异的根源。仿真结果证实了分析的正确性和有效性,为地面装甲目标识别算法的研究提供了必要的理论支撑和分析依据。     

The influences of amplified spontaneous emission,crystal temperature and round-trip loss on scaling of CW thin-disk laser

In this paper, a model is built to explore how the parameters (amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), temperature and round-trip loss) influence the output power in a thin-disk laser. It is found that optical efficiency of the disk laser is reduced with the increase of ASE, temperature or round-trip loss. The parameters are optimized to maximize the output power based on our model. We find that it is necessary to balance the need to lower the temperature with the need to control ASE during the optimization process. But the balance becomes more difficult to achieve with the increase of round-trip loss. We conclude that output power of more than 2.6 MW with a single disk can be achieved, but the necessary disk size (more than 0.5 m) is far beyond the actual technical limits. But it is possible to achieve output power of over a hundred kilowatts using a 10 cm disk in the near future.     

Stable structure and effects of sulfur in CdTe/CdS heterojunctions

Structural and electronic properties of S in the CdTe/CdS(0001) interface are studied using the density functional theory. The interstitial S atom may induce the inversion of the surface Cd atoms and sublayer Te atoms of the Cd‐terminated surface, while S atoms may adsorb at the top sites, substitute Te atoms or accumulate at the voids inside the Te‐terminated (111) CdTe surface. Isovalent substituting S for Te in the CdTe(111)/CdS(0001) heterojunctions can reduce the strain arising from lattice mismatch and cause a reduction of interface states, so it may be better for solar cells.

Catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate over CeMnO_x and CeMnZrO_x compounds synthesized by coprecipitation method

Ce0.6Mn0.4O2 catalysts with different sources of manganese and Ce0.6-xZrxMn0.4O2 mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation method and were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption,TPR,XRD,and XPS techniques.The activities of the prepared catalysts for ethyl acetate combustion,and the effects of calcination temperature and space velocity on catalytic activity were investigated.The results showed that partial replacement of Mn(NO3)2 with KMnO4 as sources of manganese could improve activities of catalysts.Ce0.45Zr0.15Mn0.4O2 catalyst exhibited the best catalytic activity and high thermal stability,e.g.,T90 could be still below 210℃ even if space velocity was up to 20000h-1.     

Photo-driven water splitting photoelectrochemical cells by tandem organic dye sensitized solar cells with I−/I3− as redox mediator

Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical tandem cells have shown the promise for light driven hydrogen production from water owing to the low cost,wide absorption spectra in the visible region and ease to process of their constitutive photoelectrode materials.However,most photo-driven water splitting photoelectrochemical cells driven by organic dye sensitized solar cells exhibit unsatisfactory hydrogen evolution rate,primarily attributed to their poor light capturing ability and low photocurrent performance.Here we present the construction of a tandem system consisting of an organic blue-colored S5 sensitizer-based dyesensitized photoelectrochemical cell(DSPEC) wired in series with three spectral-complemental dyes BTA-2,APP-3 and APP-1 sensitizers-based dye-sensitized solar cell(DSC),respectively.The two spectral-complemental chromophores were used in DSC and DSPEC to ensure that the full solar spectrum could be absorbed as much as possible.The results showed that the photocurrent of tandem device was closely related to the open-circuit voltage(Voc) of sensitized DSC,in which the tandem configuration consisting of S5 based DSPEC and BTA-2 based DSC gave the best photocurrent.On this basis,tandem device with the only light energy and no external applied electrical bias was further constructed of BTA-2 based 2-junction DSC and S5 based DSPEC and obtained a photocurrent of 500 μA cm-2 for hydrogen generation.Furthermore,I-/I3-was used as a redox couple between dye regeneration and O2 production on the surface of Pt-IrO2/WO3.The strategy opens up the application of pure organic dyes in DSC/DSPEC tandem device.

A novel strategy to the synthesis of 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives

A novel approach to prepare 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives based on the transformation of indoline-2,3-dione to formamidine was developed. The processes with this approach are simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly. The efficiency of this approach was evaluated by synthesizing 17 4-anilinoquinazolines and comparing the obtained yields with those achievable through conventional synthetic methods. It was the first time that compounds 8d, 8e, 8h, and 13b–f were synthesized. The characteristics of the IR and the UV spectra of these compounds and the effects of their substituents on the spectra were observed.
