Structural and Adsorptive Characteristics of Pyrocarbon/Silica Gel Si-60

Pyrocarbon/silica gel adsorbents (carbosils, CS) with mesoporous Si-60 (Merck, granule size 0.2–0.5 mm) modified by pyrolysis of CH₂Cl₂ at 823 K and reaction time from 0.5 to 6 h and then hydrothermally treated at 473 K for 6 h were studied by means of TEM, adsorption and ¹H NMR methods. Changes in the structural and adsorptive characteristics of hybrid adsorbents before and after hydrothermal treatment, which depend on pyrocarbon content (C _C), were analyzed on the basis of TEM micrographs and p-nitrophenol and nitrogen adsorption isotherms treated using a constrained regularization method. Interfacial water layers in aqueous suspension of CS were investigated by means of ¹H NMR with freezing-out of bulk water at T < 273 K showing nonlinear changes in the Gibbs free energy of interfacial water with increasing C _C because of nonlinear dependence of the structural characteristics of pyrocarbon deposits and CS as a whole on C _C.     

高比表面积窄孔分布氧化铝的制备研究 Ⅰ.沉淀条件的影响

 以硫酸铝液为原料，以氨水、氢氧化钠和铝酸钠为碱沉淀剂，采用pH摆动法制备了高比表面积、大孔径、窄孔分布、大孔体积氧化铝，考察了沉淀剂、沉淀温度及沉淀时酸侧pH值对氧化铝物性的影响，并对pH摆动法与等pH沉淀法的结果进行了比较．结果表明，通过改变制备参数可以获得高比表面积、大孔体积的氧化铝，当沉淀温度为70℃，pH摆动3或4次时，氧化铝的孔体积可高达1．0ml／g，比表面积仍大于300m2／g．用pH摆动法制得的样品比用等pH沉淀法制得的样品容易酸溶，对挤压成型有利．不同样品在酸溶液中的分散性表明，用氨水沉淀剂可获得相对较小的沉淀粒子．改变沉淀时酸侧的pH值，可导致沉淀粒子的结构发生变化．

双重JPEG压缩图像篡改区域检测与定位

对JPEG(joint photographic experts group)图像实施篡改往往会产生双重JPEG(double JPEG,DJPE) 压缩痕迹,分析该痕迹有助于揭示图像压缩历史并实现篡改区域定位。现有算法在图像尺寸较小和质量因子(quality factor,QF) 较低的时候性能不佳,对两个QF的组合情况存在限制。本文提出了一种端到端的混合QF双重JPEG压缩图像取证网络,命名为DJPEGNet。首先,使用预处理层从图像头文件中提取表征压缩历史信息的量化表 (quantization table,Qtable) 特征,将图像从空域转换至DCT(discrete cosine transform)域构造统计直方图特征。然后,将两个特征输入到由深度可分离卷积和残差结构堆叠而成的主体结构,输出二分类结果。最后,使用滑动窗口算法自动定位篡改区域并绘制概率分布图。实验结果表明,在使用不同Qtable集生成的小尺寸数据集上,DJPEGNet所有指标均优于现有最先进的算法,其中ACC提高了1.78%,TPR提升了2.00%,TNR提升了1.60%。     

Aperture-Adjustable and Repairable Metal-Based MOFs Catalysis Membrane for Water Purification

Precise adjustment of the pore size, damage repair, and efficient cleaning is all challenges for the wider application of inorganic membranes. This study reports a simple strategy of combining dry-wet spinning and electrosynthesis to fabricate stainless-steel metal–organic framework composite membranes characterized by customizable pore sizes, targeted reparability, and high catalytic activity for membrane cleaning. The membrane pore size can be precisely customized in the range of 14–212 nm at nanoscale, and damaged membranes can be repaired by targeted treatment in 120 s. In addition, advanced oxidation processes can be used to quickly clean the membrane and achieve 98% flux recovery. The synergistic actions of the membrane matrix and the selective layer increase the adsorption energy of active sites to oxidant, shorten the electron transfer cycle, and enhance the overall catalytic performance. This study can provide a new direction for the development of advanced membranes for water purification and high-efficiency membrane cleaning methods.     

Low complexity inter coding scheme for Versatile Video Coding (VVC)

The latest coding standard Versatile Video Coding (VVC) developed by the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET) and Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) was finalized in 2020. By introducing several new coding techniques, VVC improves the compression efficiency by 50% compared with H.265/HEVC. However, the coding complexity increases dramatically, which obstructs it from real-time application. To tackle this issue, a fast inter coding algorithm utilizing coding information is proposed to speed up the coding process. First, by analyzing the coding areas of the neighboring CUs, we predict the coding area of the current CU to terminate unnecessary splitting modes. Then, the temporally optimal coding mode generated during the prediction process is further utilized to shrink the candidate modes to speed up the coding process. Finally, the distribution of neighboring prediction modes are exploited to measure the motion complexity of the current CU, based on which the unnecessary prediction modes can be skipped earlier. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the coding complexity by 40.08% on average with 0.07 dB BDPSNR decrease and 1.56% BDBR increase, which outperforms the state-of-the-art approach.     

Mechanism of lamellar spacing adjustment in directionally frozen agar gels

A theory is presented for predicting the size of ice crystals which result from steady-state, unidirectional growth within aqueous agar gels. Cellular arrays of adjacent ice crystals were separated by an amorphous water-agar membrane at a composition near the vitrification point. Using this vitrification composition and both a steady-state condition and a minimum free energy criterion, the size of ice crystals was predicted for a given solidification velocity and diffusion condition. It was found, however, that this simple model could not predict the trend towards larger crystal sizes that was observed when the initial agar concentration in the gels increased from 3% to 10% by weight agar.

Production of micron-sized monodispersed composite polymer particles by seeded polymerization utilizing the dynamic swelling method

 In order to develop the seeded polymerization technique utilizing the dynamic swelling method (DSM) proposed by authors for the production of micron-sized mono-dispersed “composite” polymer particles consisting of two kinds of polymers, the seeded polymerization for the dispersion of ethyl methacry-late (EMA)-swollen PS particles prepared utilizing DSM was carried out. Monodispersed PS/poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) composite particles having 7 μm in diameter were produced by the addition of NaCl to lower the solubility of EMA in medium and by the addition of CuCl₂ as a water-soluble inhibitor to depress the by-production of submicron-sized PEMA particles.
