A signal theory approach to the space and frequency variant filtering performed by the human visual system

A mathematical representation is given of the processing performed by the peripheral nervous cells of the human visual system. This representation consists essentially of a set of shift-variant convolutions, implying non-uniform resolutions in both the space and frequency domains. A remarkable property of such “convolutions” is the form-invariance of their outputs with respect to (size) linear scalings of the inputs. It is shown that this latter property is a necessary support of the hypothesis according to which the visual system translates linear scalings of the (retinal) inputs into shifts of the (cortical) outputs.     

A transition solvent strategy to print polymer:fullerene films using halogen-free solvents for solar cell applications

Inkjet printing is a mask-less non-contact deposition technique that is potentially suited for prototyping and manufacturing of thin-film polymer organic semiconductor devices from digital images. However new strategies are needed to achieve films with good macromorphology (i.e., high-fidelity footprint and uniform cross-section) and nanomorphology on unstructured substrates using a conventional ink-jet. Here we report a new transition solvent strategy to provide the desired film macromorphology and ultrafine nanomorphology in regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) model films, without using chlorinated solvents. This strategy employs a good volatile solvent in combination with a miscible poor solvent that is much less volatile, which is the reverse of the usual low−high boiling-point solvent method. The good solvent suppresses premature aggregation in the ink head. Its removal by evaporation on the substrate leaves the poor solvent that triggers early π-stacking ordering and/or gelation of the polymer matrix that immobilizes the printed fluid on the substrate, suppressing both contact-line depinning and evaporation-induced solvent flow effects. The resultant donor–acceptor nanomorphology is further improved by vacuum drying at an optimal rate that avoids bubble formation. We have systematically characterized P3HT:PCBM films deposited with different solvents and platen temperatures to identify key macro- and nano-morphology determining processes. High-performance printed P3HT:PCBM solar cells were realized. These findings are applicable also to other printing and coating techniques based on low-viscosity inks.

A Novel Visual Multi-Secret Sharing Scheme Based on Folding-up Operation

The Visual multi-secret sharing （VMSS） scheme is characterized by encoding several secret images into a set of noise-like shares. Most existing VMSS meth- ods have to distort shares to embed additional secret im- ages. As a result, the quality of the decoded original secret image is degraded. This paper proposes a folding-up op- eration based VMSS scheme, which is able to encode one secret image and a group of tag images into shares. The secret image is revealed by stacking all shares, and fold- ing up each chosen share discloses the tag image. The proposed scheme encodes tag images without affecting the quality of the reconstructed secret image. The quality of the decoded secret image is equal to that of the conven- tional Visual secret sharing （VSS） scheme. The superiority of the proposed method is experimental verified.     

GPU-accelerated molecular dynamics simulation for study of liquid crystalline flows

We have developed a GPU-based molecular dynamics simulation for the study of flows of fluids with anisotropic molecules such as liquid crystals. An application of the simulation to the study of macroscopic flow (backflow) generation by molecular reorientation in a nematic liquid crystal under the application of an electric field is presented. The computations of intermolecular force and torque are parallelized on the GPU using the cell-list method, and an efficient algorithm to update the cell lists was proposed. Some important issues in the implementation of computations that involve a large number of arithmetic operations and data on the GPU that has limited high-speed memory resources are addressed extensively. Despite the relatively low GPU occupancy in the calculation of intermolecular force and torque, the computation on a recent GPU is about 50 times faster than that on a single core of a recent CPU, thus simulations involving a large number of molecules using a personal computer are possible. The GPU-based simulation should allow an extensive investigation of the molecular-level mechanisms underlying various macroscopic flow phenomena in fluids with anisotropic molecules.

A sorbent tube for oral malodour monitoring

Volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) and particularly hydrogen sulphide are considered as the predominant gases causing oral malodour. In this paper, a simple alarm sensor has been developed for VSCs determination in mouth air. The device consists of a glass tube packed with a solid sensing phase. The VSCs react with the sensing phase to produce a change in the colour of the sensor visible with a naked eye.Different “reagents” were investigated to develop the sensing phase (neocuproine + Cu(II), bathocuproine + Cu(II), resazurin, 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol and lead acetate), finding the neocuproine + Cu(II) as the best for our purposes. Also, different substrates such as Amberlite XAD-4 and XAD-7 and different trademarks of silica gel were tested as solid supports, being selected the silica gel.A device consisting of a glass tube packed with the sensing phase was optimized and tested with halitosis patients as a rapid illness test and the results compared with those obtained with a commercially available instrument, the Halimeter™, used for the determination of VSCs in mouth air. The results exhibited acceptable agreement between the proposed “qualitative” alarm sensor and a commercially available technique selected as reference, showing the possibility of using this “visual sensor” to control the halitosis and its evolution with an eventual treatment, by the own patient.
