A Theoretical Perspective to Study the Optical Properties of Tetrafluoroborates

In this study, a series of tetrafluoroborates with non-π-conjugated [BF₄] tetrahedra are investigated systematically by first-principles calculations. Theoretical studies demonstrate that tetrafluoroborates with alkali and/or alkaline-earth metals are more favorable for deep-ultraviolet transmission and are comparable to the classical deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) material, MgF₂. Furthermore, bandgap decrease with the increasing of ionic radii in alkali and/or alkaline-earth metals. Introducing highly polarizable cations with d₁₀-configuration or cations with lone pair electrons into the structure will decrease the bandgaps. The birefringence and second harmonic generation effects are not large enough in tetrafluoroborates because polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability in non-π-conjugated [BF₄] tetrahedra are much smaller than those in π-conjugated groups. However, the second harmonic generation effect for [BF₄] tetrahedra has a higher contribution in comparison with that due to birefringence. To effectively synthesize the borate fluorides or fluorooxoborates in the deep-UV region, raw materials with B−F bonds are preferred.

Energy-Efficient Optimization for Energy-Harvesting-Enabled mmWave-UAV Heterogeneous Networks

Energy Harvesting (EH) is a promising paradigm for 5G heterogeneous communication. EH-enabled Device-to-Device (D2D) communication can assist devices in overcoming the disadvantage of limited battery capacity and improving the Energy Efficiency (EE) by performing EH from ambient wireless signals. Although numerous research works have been conducted on EH-based D2D communication scenarios, the feature of EH-based D2D communication underlying Air-to-Ground (A2G) millimeter-Wave (mmWave) networks has not been fully studied. In this paper, we considered a scenario where multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are deployed to provide energy for D2D Users (DUs) and data transmission for Cellular Users (CUs). We aimed to improve the network EE of EH-enabled D2D communications while reducing the time complexity of beam alignment for mmWave-enabled D2D Users (DUs). We considered a scenario where multiple EH-enabled DUs and CUs coexist, sharing the full mmWave frequency band and adopting high-directive beams for transmitting. To improve the network EE, we propose a joint beamwidth selection, power control, and EH time ratio optimization algorithm for DUs based on alternating optimization. We iteratively optimized one of the three variables, fixing the other two. During each iteration, we first used a game-theoretic approach to adjust the beamwidths of DUs to achieve the sub-optimal EE. Then, the problem with regard to power optimization was solved by the Dinkelbach method and Successive Convex Approximation (SCA). Finally, we performed the optimization of the EH time ratio using linear fractional programming to further increase the EE. By performing extensive simulation experiments, we validated the convergence and effectiveness of our algorithm. The results showed that our proposed algorithm outperformed the fixed beamwidth and fixed power strategy and could closely approach the performance of exhaustive search, particle swarm optimization, and the genetic algorithm, but with a much reduced time complexity.     

Ensemble Approach for Detection of Depression Using EEG Features

Depression is a public health issue that severely affects one’s well being and can cause negative social and economic effects to society. To raise awareness of these problems, this research aims at determining whether the long-lasting effects of depression can be determined from electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. The article contains an accuracy comparison for SVM, LDA, NB, kNN, and D3 binary classifiers, which were trained using linear (relative band power, alpha power variability, spectral asymmetry index) and nonlinear (Higuchi fractal dimension, Lempel–Ziv complexity, detrended fluctuation analysis) EEG features. The age- and gender-matched dataset consisted of 10 healthy subjects and 10 subjects diagnosed with depression at some point in their lifetime. Most of the proposed feature selection and classifier combinations achieved accuracy in the range of 80% to 95%, and all the models were evaluated using a 10-fold cross-validation. The results showed that the motioned EEG features used in classifying ongoing depression also work for classifying the long-lasting effects of depression.

Investigation of crystallographic sites of Eu in La2BaZnO5 by site-selective laser-excitation spectroscopy

La₂BaZnO₅:Eu³⁺ (0.05 mol%) was prepared by a solid-state reaction at high temperature. X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of single phase La₂BaZnO₅. Luminescence properties of La₂BaZnO₅:Eu³⁺ are investigated by site-selective laser-excitation and emission spectroscopy at 18 K. Two different crystallographic sites for Eu³⁺ corresponding to the La³⁺ and Ba²⁺ sites are identified from the ⁷F₀→⁵D₀ excitation spectra obtained by monitoring the ⁵D₀→⁷F_J (J=1, 2, …, 6) emissions. It is found that Eu³⁺ substituted for the Ba²⁺ ion experiences stronger crystal-field strength than Eu³⁺ substituted for the La³⁺ ion. Energy transfer between the two crystallographic Eu³⁺ centers is investigated by luminescence decay curves at 18 K.     

基于FTIR技术和稀疏线性判别分析的秦艽种类鉴别

傅里叶变换红外光谱通常包含有大量的波长变量点,对其进行定性分析需要建立稳健的、可解释性的分类模型。稀疏线性判别分析(SLDA)是一种较为新颖和有效的机器学习算法,常用于高维度、小样本数据的变量筛选和判别分析,SLDA通过在线性判别分析中引入正则项,使分类器训练过程和变量选择过程同时完成,不同判别方向上载荷系数的稀疏性则增强了模型的可解释性。采集甘肃不同产地的秦艽样本94个,其中麻花秦艽(Gentiana straminea Maxim)30个,黄管秦艽(Gentiana officinalis)28个,大叶秦艽(Gentiana macrophylla Pall)36个,利用傅里叶变换红外光谱法获得所有样本的光谱图。取其中70个样本构成训练集,剩余24个为测试集。使用训练集建立SLDA模型,对2个判别方向上不为0的载荷系数个数进行网格化寻优,得到了最优的参数空间。利用建立的SLDA模型对测试样本进行预测,其分类准确率达到100%,实现了对三种秦艽的快速、准确鉴别。实验结果表明,与PLS-DA方法相比,SLDA模型在分类准确率、稀疏性及可解释性方面均具有一定优势,是一种新颖、有效的光谱定性分析方法。     

Expected utility approximation and portfolio optimisation

Classical portfolio selection problems that optimise expected utility can usually not be solved in closed form. It is natural to approximate the utility function, and we investigate the accuracy of this approximation when using Taylor polynomials. In the important case of a Merton market and power utility we show analytically that increasing the order of the polynomial does not necessarily improve the approximation of the expected utility. The proofs use methods from the theory of parabolic second-order partial differential equations. All results are illustrated by numerical examples.
