研究了纳米SiO2水溶胶的固液二相流成膜特性．结果表明，水溶胶中的Si02固体颗粒的粒径及质量分数对粘度的影响较小，对成膜能力和承载能力的影响较大；在薄膜润滑阶段，固体颗粒的粒径和质量分数对润滑状态的稳定性具有一定的影响，随着速度的增加，液体膜厚度逐渐增大，固体颗粒对液体润滑膜稳定性及性能的影响逐渐减弱；在弹流润滑阶段，固体颗粒的影响很小。     

The Carboxyl Functionalized UiO-66-(COOH)2 for Selective Adsorption of Sr2+

Efficient and selective removal of ⁹⁰Sr is an important process for the safe use of nuclear energy. Herein, we investigate and assess the Sr²⁺ adsorption properties of a metal-organic framework UiO-66-(COOH)₂ functionalized by non-bonded carboxylic groups. This MOF is an exciting class of free carboxylic functionalized MOFs that combine chemical stability with gas sorption, dye elimination, and conductivity. Specifically, we show that uniformly distributed carboxyl and water stability make it accessible for loading Sr²⁺ without structural changes. The FTIR spectroscopy, PXRD analysis, XPS, and SEM-EDS studies show excellent stability as well as the strong affinity between -COOH active site and Sr²⁺. This strong coordination interaction guarantees a high adsorption capacity of 114 mg g⁻¹ within 5 h (pH 5 and 298 K). Combined kinetic and thermodynamic studies show that the surface complexation is strong chemisorption and cost-effective spontaneous process (ΔG = −5.49 kJ mol⁻¹~−2.16 kJ mol⁻¹). The fact that UiO-66-(COOH)₂ not only possesses a high adsorption capacity, but also enables selectivity to Sr²⁺ in the presence of similar radius ions Na⁺ and K⁺, prefigures its great potential for the practical treatment of radioactive Sr²⁺ in polluted water.     

旋涂法制备掺杂BiOX薄膜及光催化性能研究

采用旋涂的方法在基底材料表面原位生长BiOX(X=C1、Br、I)薄膜材料.样品的晶体结构和光学性质等通过X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis)进行了表征.结果表明旋涂法制备的BiOX薄膜是纯净的,无其他杂质,均匀性好.通过对BiOX薄膜材料的光催化性能和瞬态表面光电压技术(TPV)进行了研究,发现卤素掺杂的BiOBr0.48I052具有较好的光催化性能.其结果表明催化性能提高的原因可能是BiOBr0.48I0.52薄膜在光照下可以产生更强的光生载流子并具有更长的光生载流子寿命.

H2S和H2S+的振动光谱和电子能谱计算

本文基于MOLPRO软件包使用从头算方法计算了星际分子H₂S及其阳离子H₂S⁺的势能面及光电子能谱.首先,在(U)CCSD/cc-pVQZ理论水平下获取了H₂S沿法线坐标展开的势能面,势能面直观描述了不同振动模式耦合对分子能量变化的影响,S-H键的非对称伸缩振动和面内弯曲振动共同作用使得系统势能变化范围明显变大.振动多组态相互作用方法被用来计算非谐振动频率和振动光谱,计算结果显示,倍频和组合频之间出现了强烈的费米共振,使得相应波段处的红外强度显著增强.最后,使用拉曼波函数和收缩不变Krylov子空间方法首次计算了H₂SΧ¹A₁→H₂S⁺ X²B₁的光电子能谱.此项研究有助于进一步理解星际分子的内部结构,并为实验研究及星际观测提供参考.     

NO在稀有金属钇表面的吸附行为

以往的理论在预测六方结构(HCP)金属的表面能时,计算值与实验值存在较大误差.鉴于此,本文首先用一种较为合理的方法精准地预测了稀有金属钇(Y)(0001)面的表面能,计算值(1.141 J/M²)与实验值(1.125 J/M²)吻合的很好.随后,系统研究了NO小分子在Y(0001)面不同位置(空位、桥位和端位)的吸附行为.结果表明:空位(H1)表现出了良好的吸附能力,吸附能超过了5eV,同时N-O键长伸长量超过了24%,此时,NO分子几乎平行地吸附于Y(0001)表面.所有的吸附位置的N-O分子伸长量范围为0.2?-0.42?.这种伸长量明显超过了NO在其它金属表面时的计算结果.     

CT and MRI Medical Image Fusion Using Noise-Removal and Contrast Enhancement Scheme with Convolutional Neural Network

Medical image fusion (MIF) has received painstaking attention due to its diverse medical applications in response to accurately diagnosing clinical images. Numerous MIF methods have been proposed to date, but the fused image suffers from poor contrast, non-uniform illumination, noise presence, and improper fusion strategies, resulting in an inadequate sparse representation of significant features. This paper proposes the morphological preprocessing method to address the non-uniform illumination and noise by the bottom-hat–top-hat strategy. Then, grey-principal component analysis (grey-PCA) is used to transform RGB images into gray images that can preserve detailed features. After that, the local shift-invariant shearlet transform (LSIST) method decomposes the images into the low-pass (LP) and high-pass (HP) sub-bands, efficiently restoring all significant characteristics in various scales and directions. The HP sub-bands are fed to two branches of the Siamese convolutional neural network (CNN) by process of feature detection, initial segmentation, and consistency verification to effectively capture smooth edges, and textures. While the LP sub-bands are fused by employing local energy fusion using the averaging and selection mode to restore the energy information. The proposed method is validated by subjective and objective quality assessments. The subjective evaluation is conducted by a user case study in which twelve field specialists verified the superiority of the proposed method based on precise details, image contrast, noise in the fused image, and no loss of information. The supremacy of the proposed method is further justified by obtaining 0.6836 to 0.8794, 0.5234 to 0.6710, and 3.8501 to 8.7937 gain for QFAB, CRR, and AG and noise reduction from 0.3397 to 0.1209 over other methods for objective parameters.     

Stable Zinc-Based Metal-Organic Framework Photocatalyst for Effective Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Production

Herein, a new Zn-MOF material, [Zn(L1)(L2)], 1, was built successfully through a one-pot solvothermal method. The 3D MOF structure was determined by Single X-ray diffraction analysis, IR, and elemental analysis. A series of PXRD tests of 1 after being immersed in different solvents and pH solutions demonstrated the good stability of 1. Interestingly, this material displayed high catalytic activity for the visible-light-driven hydrogen generation under the illumination of white LED in pure water or a mixture of DMF and H₂O without additional photosensitizers and cocatalysts. Besides, the studies also showed that the catalytic activity changed constantly as well as the solvent ratio adjustment of DMF and H₂O from 4:6 to 2:8. Additionally, the catalytic activity reached the best value (743 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹) when the solvent ratio was 4:6. The heterogeneous nature and recyclability of the MOF catalyst, as well as several factors that affect the catalytic activity, were investigated and described in detail. Moreover, the photocatalytic mechanism for the hydrogen generation of 1 was also proposed based on the fluorescence spectra and UV-vis absorption.     

GDP vs. LDP: A Survey from the Perspective of Information-Theoretic Channel

The existing work has conducted in-depth research and analysis on global differential privacy (GDP) and local differential privacy (LDP) based on information theory. However, the data privacy preserving community does not systematically review and analyze GDP and LDP based on the information-theoretic channel model. To this end, we systematically reviewed GDP and LDP from the perspective of the information-theoretic channel in this survey. First, we presented the privacy threat model under information-theoretic channel. Second, we described and compared the information-theoretic channel models of GDP and LDP. Third, we summarized and analyzed definitions, privacy-utility metrics, properties, and mechanisms of GDP and LDP under their channel models. Finally, we discussed the open problems of GDP and LDP based on different types of information-theoretic channel models according to the above systematic review. Our main contribution provides a systematic survey of channel models, definitions, privacy-utility metrics, properties, and mechanisms for GDP and LDP from the perspective of information-theoretic channel and surveys the differential privacy synthetic data generation application using generative adversarial network and federated learning, respectively. Our work is helpful for systematically understanding the privacy threat model, definitions, privacy-utility metrics, properties, and mechanisms of GDP and LDP from the perspective of information-theoretic channel and promotes in-depth research and analysis of GDP and LDP based on different types of information-theoretic channel models.     

Experimental synchronization of independent entangled photon sources

We report the generation of independent entangled photon pairs from two synchronized but mutually incoherent laser sources. The quality of synchronization is confirmed by observing a violation of Bell's inequality with 3.2 standard deviations in an entanglement swapping experiment. The techniques developed in our experiment are not only important for realistic linear optical quantum-information processing, but also enable new tests of local realism.
