贝叶斯预测蜂群算法在无线传感器网络优化中的应用

针对无线传感器网络(WSN,wireless sensor network)节点分布不合理,存在较多的监测盲区等不足,提出了利用贝叶斯预测人工蜂群算法(BPABC,Bayesian predictive artificial bee colony algorithm)制定节点分布方案。BPABC算法借鉴贝叶斯预测算法的思想对蜂群算法中各蜜源存在最优解的概率进行预测,并以此为依据指导跟随蜂寻优工作。采用BPABC算法对WSN中的节点分布进行优化,与人工蜂群算法、全局人工蜂群算法制定的优化方案进行比较。结果表明,BPABC在平均覆盖率、最差覆盖率等方面均优于其他两种算法,并且BPABC算法在迭代收敛速度方面也有明显的优势。为了进一步验证改进算法的实用性,采用BPABC制定不同监测区域的WSN节点分布方案。WSN的覆盖率均在97%左右,并且标准差不超过0.005%。由此可见,基于BPABC的WSN节点分布优化方案具有较高的覆盖率、良好的适应性和稳定性。

Fluorescent carbon nanoparticles: A low-temperature trypsin-assisted preparation and Fe sensing

In recent years, extensive researches are focused on the fluorescent carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) due to their excellent photochemical, biocompatible and water-soluble properties. However, these synthesis methods are generally suffered from tedious processes. In this paper, fluorescent carbon nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile, one-pot, low-temperature method with trypsin and dopamine as precursors. The synthesis process avoids any heating operation and organic solvent, which provides a “green” and effective preparation route. The obtained CNPs exhibit excellent water-solubility, salt-tolerance and photostability. Based on the synergistic action of the inner filter effect and static quenching mechanism, the CNPs are exploited as a “turn-off” fluorescence sensor for sensitive and selective detection of Fe³⁺ ions. The probe shows a wide linear range from 0.1 to 500 μM, with a limit of detection of 30 nM. Furthermore, the as-fabricated fluorescent sensing system is successfully applied to the analysis of Fe³⁺ in biological samples such as human urine and serum samples with satisfactory recoveries (92.8–113.3%).     

A New Algorithm for the Establishing Data Association Between a Camera and a 2-D LIDAR

In this paper,we propose a new algorithm to establish the data association between a camera and a 2-D Light Detection And Ranging sensor （LIDAR）.In contrast to the previous works,where data association is established by calibrating the intrinsic parameters of the camera and the extrinsic parameters of the camera and the LIDAR,we formulate the map between laser points and pixels as a 2-D homography.The line-point correspondence is employed to construct geometric constraint on the homography matrix.This enables checkerboard to be not essential and any object with straight boundary can be an effective target.The calculation of the 2-D homography matrix consists of a linear least-squares solution of a homogeneous system followed by a nonlinear minimization of the geometric error in the image plane.Since the measurement quality impacts on the accuracy of the result,we investigate the equivalent constraint and show that placing the calibration target nearby the 2-D LIDAR will provide sufficient constraints to calculate the 2-D homography matrix.Simulation and experimental results validate that the proposed algorithm is robust and accurate.Compared with the previous works,which require two calibration processes and special calibration targets such as checkerboard,our method is more flexible and easier to perform.     

Optochemical Sensor for Ammonia Based on a Lipophilized pH Indicator in a Hydrophobic Matrix

Abstract

An optical sensor for the determination of ammonia in water based on ion pairing has been investigated. A pH-sensitive dye is immobilized as an ion pair in a silicone matrix. The colour of the dye changes from yellow to blue depending on the concentration of ammonia in the sample solution. This change is reversible. The concentration of ammonia can be determined by measuring the transmittance at a given wavelength.

All measurements were performed with a dual-beam optical meter. The measurement range was from 5.9 × 10^?7 to 1 × 10^?3 M (0.01 to 17 mg/l) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer of pH 8. The detection limit was 10 μg/l. The response times at a flow rate of 2.5 ml/min were 4 min for t₉₀ and 10 min for t₁₀₀ at a change from 41.9 to 82.5 μM ammonia and 12 min for t₉₀ and 48 min for t₁₀₀ at a change from 160 to 0 μM ammonia. The operational lifetime of the ammonia sensor was limited to a period of a few days only. A continuous decrease in baseline signal and relative signal change was observed over the whole measurement. The storage stability was more than 10 months (dry). With respect to possible application of the ammonia sensor to environmental analysis, the influence of pH, typical interferences, such as amines and various detergents on the sensor response was investigated. No interference due to pH was observed in the range from pH 5 to pH 9. With methyl- and ethylamine the response was not completely reversible. The sensor was affected by cationic detergents, but not by anionic or neutral detergents.

A method for the preparation of N-trifluoroacetyl methyl esters of amino acids has been developed, permitting the separation and determination of 20 amino acids by temperature-programmed gas chromatography on two columns. The method was applied to the analysis of the amino acids in hydrolyzed maize and in hydrolyzed oats, where a direct comparison was made with the ion-exchange method.

A new metal complex[MnL₂]（NO₃）₂·CH₃CN（1） was synthesized by reaction of 4’-4-（l,2,4-triazol-l-yl）phenyl -2,2’:6’,2"-terpyridine（L） with manganese nitrate.The structure of the complex was determined by X-ray crystallography.The results of UV-vis studies showed that the complex exhibits colorimetric sensing ability for Fe³⁺,which can be observed by naked eye.     

Friedel-Crafts Polymers. 8. Friedel-Crafts Polycondensation of β-Resorcylic Acid or Resorcinol with p-Xylylene Dichloride,p,p′-Dichloromethyldiphenyl Ether,and p,p′-Dichloroacetyldiphenyl Ether

Friedel-Crafts polycondensation of β-resorcylic acid (BRA) with p-xylylene dichloride (PXDC) or 4,4′-dichloromethyldiphenyl ether (DDE) in dioxane could be effected without simultaneous decarboxylation of BRA. The similar polycondensation of BRA with PXDC, DDE, or 4,4′-dichloroacetyldiphenyl ether (DADE) in nitrobenzene or in the absence of solvent at 150°C was associated with decarboxylation of BRA. Polymers having structures isomeric with those of the polycondensation product of BRA formed with subsequent in situ decarboxylation were prepared by Friedel-Crafts polycondensation of resorcinol with the above dichlorides. All the polymer samples were characterized, and those with related structures were compared. The ion-exchange properties of the polymer sample prepared from BRA and DDE in dioxane were studied.     

Design and Performances of a Carbon Monoxide Sensor Using Mid-Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy Technique at 4.6 µm

Based on infrared absorption spectroscopy technique, a carbon monoxide sensor was developed using the fundamental absorption band of carbon monoxide molecule at the wavelength around 4.6 µm. The developed sensor consists of pulse-modulated wideband incandescence, open ellipsoid light-collector gas-cell, dual-channel detector, and control and signal-processing module. With the prepared standard carbon monoxide gas sample, sensing characteristics on carbon monoxide were investigated using the sensor. Experimental results reveal that the limit of detection is about 10 ppm, the relative error at the limit of detection point is less than 14%, and that is less than 7.8% within the low concentration range of 20～180 ppm. The maximum absolute errors of 50 min long-term measurement on the 0 and 14 ppm CO gas samples are about 3 and 3.17 ppm, respectively, and the standard deviations are as small as 0.18 and 1.25 ppm, respectively. Compared with the reported carbon monoxide detection systems utilizing quantum cascaded lasers and distributed feedback lasers, the proposed sensor shows potential applications in carbon monoxide detection under the circumstances of coal-mine and environmental protection, by virtue of high performance, low cost, simple optical structure, and so on.
