An Adaptive Deblurring Vehicle Detection Method for High-Speed Moving Drones: Resistance to Shake

Vehicle detection is an essential part of an intelligent traffic system, which is an important research field in drone application. Because unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rarely configured with stable camera platforms, aerial images are easily blurred. There is a challenge for detectors to accurately locate vehicles in blurred images in the target detection process. To improve the detection performance of blurred images, an end-to-end adaptive vehicle detection algorithm (DCNet) for drones is proposed in this article. First, the clarity evaluation module is used to determine adaptively whether the input image is a blurred image using improved information entropy. An improved GAN called Drone-GAN is proposed to enhance the vehicle features of blurred images. Extensive experiments were performed, the results of which show that the proposed method can detect both blurred and clear images well in poor environments (complex illumination and occlusion). The detector proposed achieves larger gains compared with SOTA detectors. The proposed method can enhance the vehicle feature details in blurred images effectively and improve the detection accuracy of blurred aerial images, which shows good performance with regard to resistance to shake.

为了解决现有数字全息显微系统中高分辨率与大记录视场无法同时兼得的问题, 提出了一种在不牺牲分辨率的前提下拓展数字全息显微记录视场的方法. 该方法中运用了波长不同、偏振态不同的四路相互不相干的探测物光, 同时探测被测样品四个相邻的不同区域, 并使这四束探测物光分别与其相应的参考光相干, 在记录面上同时记录下含有被测样品不同区域信息的复合全息图. 将获得的复合全息图经过频谱变换和数字滤波, 分别重构出所记录区域的振幅和相位分布.最后通过图像拼接和图像融合技术, 可实现接近原记录视场四倍的大视场数字全息显微记录. 该方法在测量过程中无需移动记录装置、光源和被测样品, 单次曝光即可实现, 实验结果验证了本文所提方法的可行性. 关键词： 数字全息显微术 角分复用 偏振复用 波长复用     

基于差分Pattern时延差编码和海豚whistles信号的仿生水声通信技术研究

为解决传统的隐蔽水声通信方法带来的通信性能降低问题, 提出了一种将差分 Pattern 时延差编码通信体制与海豚whistles信号相结合的仿生水声通信技术. 海豚whistles信号频带较窄且各信息码元间隔不等、码元之间互相关性较弱, 选取whistles信号作同步码和Pattern 码, 并以相邻whistles信号之间的时延差值携带信息. 这种仿生的水声通信信号不易被敌方探测、截获, 且差分Pattern时延差特殊的编码方式也不易使信息被破译, 因此该水声通信技术具有较强的隐蔽性和保密性, 且在抗码间干扰以及抗多普勒效应方面具有优异性能. 本文对系统进行了水池实验, 在信噪比为0 dB、存在相对运动时实现了通信速率为67 bit/s的低误码数据传输, 验证了系统的有效性、稳健性和隐蔽性. 关键词： 仿生水声通信 差分Pattern时延差编码 海豚whistles信号 隐蔽性

Gd complexes of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid conjugates of low-molecular-weight chitosan oligosaccharide as a new liver-specific MRI contrast agent

This study was to describe the synthesis of complexes of gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid conjugates of low-molecular-weight chitosan oligosaccharide Gd-DTPA-CSn (n = 6, 8, 11) as a new class of contrast agent as well as its magnetic property in a pilot magnetic resonance imaging. The efficacy of the contrast agent was assessed by measuring the longitudinal relaxivity (r₁), FLASH imaging in phantoms in vitro and signal intensity in vivo of the rat abdominal axial imaging. The r₁ of Gd-DTPA-CS₁₁ was up to 11.65 mM^− 1·s^− 1, which was 3 times higher than that of the analogous MRI contrast agent Gd-DTPA in commercial use. In vivo MR images of rat obtained with Gd-DTPA-CS₁₁ showed strong signal enhancement in liver and the vessels of the liver parenchyma during the extended period of time. The present study suggests that the new synthesized gadolinium complexes can be used as a new class of practical liver-specific MRI contrast agent because of its superior performance compared with Gd-DTPA.     

强流ECR离子源引出系统研究

为了提高强流ECR 离子源的引出束流品质,分别设计了1# 和2# 引出系统,利用束流引出模拟软件PBGUNS 对1# 和2# 引出系统进行了质子束流引出与传输的模拟计算,结合实际测得的发射度数据分析引出系统,发现2# 引出系统比1# 引出系统引出束流品质高。对ECR 离子源引出系统的电势等位线分布等参数引起的球差进行了简单数学推导及MATLAB 绘图,并结合1# 和2# 引出系统束流相图模拟结果证明了球差会使引出束流品质有效发射度增长,通过适当加大电极孔径可改善束流聚焦情况,得到了束流光学聚焦较好的束流引出系统设计。To improve the quality of extracted ion beam from a high current ECR ion source, 1# and 2# extraction systems were designed and tested. The PBGUNS code was used to simulate the 1# and 2# extraction systems of proton ion beam. The emittance measurement results with the two different extraction systems were compared and analyzed with the simulation, the conclusion that more high quality beam extracted from 2# system than 1# system was got. The formula derivation of ECR ion source extraction system spherical aberration and MATLAB drawing was done by the analyzing on the distribution of extraction field equipotentials, effective emittance increasing caused by spherical berration was proved by 1# and 2# extraction systems beam phase space simulation result, beam focusing would be improved if electrode hole size increasing appropriately and a general concept on good optics focusing of ion beam extraction system was proposed finally.     

Quantum anomalous Hall effect and related topological electronic states

Over a long period of exploration, the successful observation of quantized version of anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in thin film of magnetically doped topological insulator (TI) completed a quantum Hall trio—quantum Hall effect (QHE), quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE), and quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE). On the theoretical front, it was understood that the intrinsic AHE is related to Berry curvature and U(1) gauge field in momentum space. This understanding established connection between the QAHE and the topological properties of electronic structures characterized by the Chern number. With the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) broken by magnetization, a QAHE system carries dissipationless charge current at edges, similar to the QHE where an external magnetic field is necessary. The QAHE and corresponding Chern insulators are also closely related to other topological electronic states, such as TIs and topological semimetals, which have been extensively studied recently and have been known to exist in various compounds. First-principles electronic structure calculations play important roles not only for the understanding of fundamental physics in this field, but also towards the prediction and realization of realistic compounds. In this article, a theoretical review on the Berry phase mechanism and related topological electronic states in terms of various topological invariants will be given with focus on the QAHE and Chern insulators. We will introduce the Wilson loop method and the band inversion mechanism for the selection and design of topological materials, and discuss the predictive power of first-principles calculations. Finally, remaining issues, challenges and possible applications for future investigations in the field will be addressed.     

Injection Molding Shrinkage and Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene Blends

Polypropylene (PP) blends based on isotactic polypropylene (iPP), propylene-ethylene block copolymer (bPP), and propylene–ethylene random copolymer (rPP) were prepared by melt blending and the effects of content of bPP and rPP on the shrinkage during solidification and storage and mechanical properties of the blends were studied. It was found that the addition of polypropylene copolymer could effectively reduce the processing shrinkage of iPP and the lowest shrinkage of the blends was achieved at a loading of 2 wt% bPP or rPP. The flexural modulus and tensile strength of the blends decreased a little while the impact strength and elongation at break were improved greatly compared with those of iPP.     

Microstructure,Rheology, and Potential Oil Absorbency of Poly(Butyl Methacrylate) and Poly(Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate) Blends

To prepare oil-absorptive polymers with moderate cross-linking structure, poly(butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) was synthesized as a linear hydrophobic polymer by suspension polymerization. In addition, hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), as a monomer, which could construct a network structure among the macromolecules via hydrogen bond interactions, was solution polymerized in dimethylacetamide (DMAc) with PBMA, yielding a polymer blend of PBMA and PHEMA. The solution of the polymer blend was investigated by rotational viscometry and extended rheometry. The results showed that the viscosity varied greatly with the temperature and shear rate for three different compositions. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra indicated that an entanglement or interlocking cross-linking structure of molecular chains was constructed by hydrogen bonds. The results from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra exhibited a downfield movement of the proton peak as influenced by end groups or hydroxyls in the polymer chains. The rheological measurements demonstrated that the cross-linking structure greatly affected the rheological behavior of the blend solution. In addition, the cross-linking structure was also evaluated by oil absorbency of films.     

Interaction between isoamyl adenine and rice cytokinin oxidase

Cytokinin (CTK) dehydrogenase is responsible for regulating the endogenous CTK content by oxidative removal of the side chain. Herein, we have applied fluorescence method to study the interaction between CTK dehydrogenase and CTK in vitro and obtain some parameters of their interaction. We found that addition of isopentenyl adenine can quench the fluorescence of CTK dehydrogenase, and the quenching mechanism was to be a static quenching procedure. We have measured the number of binding sites n and the apparent binding constant K and have calculated the thermodynamics parameter ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS by fluorescence quenching method. Based on thermodynamics parameter’s results, we concluded that their binding reaction was both entropy driven and the enthalpy driven, and the Van der Waals force and hydrogen bond force played a major role in the interaction. Based on the synchronous fluorescence spectrometry results, we demonstrated that the binding site between isopentenyl adenine and CTK dehydrogenase is in the microenvironment of both tryptophan and tyrosine. The fluorescence signal of coenzyme, flavin adenine dinucleotide, decreases gradually with the addition of isopentenyl adenine. And this method can be used for isopentenyl adenine routine assay. Under optimized experimental parameters, the linear segment increases from 0.6 µM to 100 µM with a regression equation of ΔF = 0.04 + 0.15c_ip (r = 0.999, c_ip in µM) with the detection limit of 0.15 µM iP.
