Non-contact optical fibre phased array generation of ultrasound for non-destructive evaluation of materials and processes

The use of non-contact laser techniques for the generation of ultrasound has extended the limits of the application of traditional ultrasonic techniques. This paper focusses on the use of one such non-contact laser technique, known as ‘optical fibre array’, to generate shear and surface waves. The shear wave experimental directivity pattern results are presented and compared with the theoretical results of a single source and an array source. The experimental directivity results for the surface wave are also presented, and compared with the theoretical results. The data show that the array enhances signal generation in the forward direction for both shear and surface waves. The array gain is also discussed. The receiver for the directivity measurements was a contact piezoelectric transducer.     

锯齿型石墨烯带缺陷改性方法研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的非平衡格林函数, 对具有不同缺陷构型的锯齿型石墨烯带(zigzag graphene nanoribbon, ZGNR) 的输运性质进行了理论计算与模拟. 研究表明, 相同数目、 不同构型缺陷结构对ZGNR的导电特性将产生不同的影响. 如A-B构型双空缺对ZGNR电导的影响最为显著, 而A-A构型双空缺对其电导的影响最小. 更为重要的是, 当引入碳环构型缺陷时, ZGNR将被改性, 即由原本的金属性质转变为半导体性质, 为缺陷调控石墨烯导电特性提供了理论依据.

Attractive target wave patterns in complex networks consisting of excitable nodes

This review describes the investigations of oscillatory complex networks consisting of excitable nodes,focusing on the target wave patterns or say the target wave attractors.A method of dominant phase advanced driving(DPAD) is introduced to reveal the dynamic structures in the networks supporting oscillations,such as the oscillation sources and the main excitation propagation paths from the sources to the whole networks.The target center nodes and their drivers are regarded as the key nodes which can completely determine the corresponding target wave patterns.Therefore,the center(say node A) and its driver(say node B) of a target wave can be used as a label,(A,B),of the given target pattern.The label can give a clue to conveniently retrieve,suppress,and control the target waves.Statistical investigations,both theoretically from the label analysis and numerically from direct simulations of network dynamics,show that there exist huge numbers of target wave attractors in excitable complex networks if the system size is large,and all these attractors can be labeled and easily controlled based on the information given by the labels.The possible applications of the physical ideas and the mathematical methods about multiplicity and labelability of attractors to memory problems of neural networks are briefly discussed.     

Fringe skeletonizing using an improved derivative sign binary method

A modified derivative sign binary method is proposed to extract fringe skeletons from interferometric fringe patterns. A fringe direction map ranging from 0° to 360° is obtained with an unambiguous relationship between the grayscale and fringe tangent direction. Using this approach, the derivative sign binary map is detected without a fringe direction jump. The dark (light) fringe intensity minimum (maximum) can be extracted automatically to define fringe skeletons. In addition, two different anisotropic one-dimensional filters are described that can be used for further improving the fringe quality. Examples are provided for a holographic interferogram and a Moiré fringe pattern to illustrate applications and benefits of the approach.     

Atomic force microscopy investigation of growth process of organic TCNQ aggregates on SiO2 and mica substrates

<正>Deposition patterns of tetracyanoquinodimethane(TCNQ) molecules on different surfaces are investigated by atomic force microscopy.A homemade physical vapour deposition system allows the better control of molecule deposition. Taking advantage of this system,we investigate TCNQ thin film growth on both SiO_2 and mica surfaces.It is found that dense island patterns form at a high deposition rate,and a unique seahorse-like pattern forms at a low deposition rate.Growth patterns on different substrates suggest that the fractal pattern formation is dominated by molecule-molecule interaction.Finally,a phenomenal "two-branch" model is proposed to simulate the growth process of the seahorse pattern.     

A new method for removing impulse noise based on noise space characteristic

This paper proposes a new method for eliminating impulse noise. Based on the space characteristic of object and noise, three kinds of basic noise patterns are introduced to describe noise and detect noise candidates. Correspondingly, noise removal operators are presented to remove the impulse noise. Extensive experiment results have shown that the proposed method is better than some of the state-of-the-art methods.

以杭州市中心城区的多时相TM/ETM+遥感影像为数据源,采用建设用地扩张强度、空间自相关方法等,分析了杭州市1991~2010年间城市扩张的时空特征,并探讨其扩张的空间模式及其演化.结果表明：（1）杭州市城区快速扩展,各街道 乡镇扩张程度存在明显差异;（2）杭州城市扩张的“热点”方位变化大致为：城北-城西-多方位-城东,其变迁规律与杭州城市扩张模式的总体变化规律一致;（3）杭州市城市扩张的空间模式主要有边缘式、填充式、自发式和线性轴状,且随城市演化过程总体遵循以下轨迹：首先,主城表现为边缘式为主、填充式为辅的扩张;其次,外围自发式的扩张形成了副城;接下来主副城都表现为从填充为主、边缘为辅的扩张转变为边缘为主、填充为辅的扩张;而线性轴状扩张是沿交通线发展并贯穿整个城市空间的演化过程.
