Implementation and experimental study on fast object modeling based on multiple structured stripes

In this paper, a practical structured light-based system for fast object modeling and reconstruction is reported. The system consists of an off-the-shelf digital projector, a video camera and a turntable. The system calibration is implemented accurately and automatically by taking a single image of an illuminated calibration template. The multiple color light stripes emitted by the projector adopt only three colors and the color can be modified easily according to the surface texture of the object. This makes the system widely applicable in many situations, and the assumption about color neutrality, which is a limitation to other similar systems, can be largely relaxed. The registration and merging algorithm is greatly simplified by employing a turntable. The validity and high accuracy of the method are demonstrated by extensive real experiments.

An improved Pfitzinger reaction: Eco-efficient synthesis of quinaldine-4-carboxylates by TMSCl-mediated

We report herein an improved Pfitzinger reaction for the synthesis of highly functionalized quinaldines from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, isatins and alcohols mediated by TMSCl. This synthesis involves cyclization and esterification in one-step cascade process for the formation of a carboxylate (CO₂R) at the 4-position of quinaldine ring. Moreover, this procedure shows highly efficient, good functional group tolerance, operational simplicity, environment-friendly and feasibility of scale up.     

Human biomonitoring of emerging pollutants through non-invasive matrices: state of the art and future potential

Human biomonitoring (HBM) is a scientific technique that allows us to assess whether and to what extent environmental pollutants enter humans. We review here the current HBM efforts for organophosphate esters, emerging flame retardants, perfluoroalkyl substances, and phthalate esters. Use of some of these chemicals has already been banned or restricted; they are regularly detected in the environment, wildlife, and human matrices. Traditionally, blood and urine collection have been widely used as sampling methods. New non-invasive approaches (e.g., saliva, hair, nails) are emerging as valid alternatives since they offer advantages with respect to sampling, handling, and ethical aspects, while ensuring similar reliability and sensitivity. Nevertheless, the identification of biomarkers of exposure is often difficult because chemicals may be metabolized in the human body. For many of the above-mentioned compounds, the mechanisms of the favorable metabolization pathways have not been unraveled, but research on important metabolites that could be used as biomarkers of exposure is growing. This review summarizes the state of the art regarding human exposure to, (non-invasive) HBM of, and metabolism of major organophosphate esters, emerging flame retardants, perfluoroalkyl substances, and phthalate esters currently detected in the environment.

Two Coordination Polymers based on 2‐Ethyl‐1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylic Acid and 1,3‐Bis(4‐pyridyl)propane: Synthesis,Crystal Structures,and Photoluminescent Properties

Two coordination polymers, [Cd(Heidc)(bpp)]_n ( 1 ) and [Zn₃ (eidc)₂(bpp)(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O}_n ( 2 ) (H₃eidc = 2‐ethyl‐4,5‐imidazole dicarboxylic acid, bpp = 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane) were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, spectroscopy single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses. Compound 1 features a 2D layer formed by C–H ··· π stacking interactions between adjacent chains, whereas compound 2 shows a 3D (8³)₂(8⁵.10)‐tfc framework constructed of the 2D (6,3) layer. The result demonstrates that the central metal atoms play a key role in governing the coordination motifs. Moreover, solid‐state properties such as thermal stabilities and photoluminescence of 1 and 2 were also investigated.     

Identification of volatile compounds of Atractylode lancea Rhizoma using supercritical fluid extraction and GC–MS

Supercritical fluid was used to extract volatile components from the rhizoma of Atractylode lancea (A. lancea). An orthogonal array design (OAD), L₉ (3)⁴, was employed as a chemometric method for the optimization of the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of volatile compounds from the herbal medicine. Four parameters, namely, pressure, temperature, dynamic extraction time, and flow rate of CO₂, were studied and optimized by a three‐level OAD in which the interactions between the parameters were neglected. These compounds were identified according to their retention times and mass spectra by GC–MS. A total of 30 compounds of SFE extracts were identified. Atractylon (8.63%), hinesol (1.44%), β‐eudesmol (6.64%), elemol (0.42%), and atractydin (13.92%) were the major sesquiterpenes identified in A. lancea SFE extracts.     

Identification and treatment approach for spectral baseline distortion in processing of gas analysis online by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

Addressing the problem of baseline drift or distortion in Fourier transform infrared spectra when analyzing gas continuously at scene, a novel and simple method is proposed to identify and treat spectral baseline drift. Firstly, the spectral baseline was corrected with the common approach followed by standard gas analysis. Then, absorbance of analytes was reconstructed and reduced from the corrected spectrum. Finally, a Fourier transform was performed with the difference spectrum, and the first four-line strengths were used as feature variables to determine if baseline distortion occurred. In the end of this paper, this approach has been applied in the field of wellhead gas logging with Fourier transform infrared. The application results showed that all the spikes had been removed from the raw logging curves, confirming that this approach could be used to identify spectral baseline distortion accurately.     

Blue–green and red luminescence from ZnO/porous silicon and ZnO:Cu/porous silicon nanocomposite films

Both ZnO and Cu doped ZnO films with strong c-axis preferred orientation have been successfully prepared on porous silicon substrate, formed by electrochemical anodization, using radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the intensity of (0 0 2) diffraction peak first decreased and then increased with the Cu doping content increasing. Meanwhile new weak (1 0 0), (1 0 1), (1 0 2) and (1 1 0) diffraction peaks appeared after doping. The optical band edge of ZnO:Cu films, deduced from the optical absorption spectra, shifted to a longer wavelength comparing with the undoped sample and we attributed this red shift phenomenon to the decreasing of carrier concentration. The broad light emission from 350 to 800 nm was obtained by combining the blue–green emission from ZnO with red–orange emission from porous silicon. This could be used as a source of white light emitting diode chips underlying the importance of our work. The variation and origin of the emission peaks were discussed through the Gaussian deconvolution, and the Raman scattering spectral revealed the characteristics of porous silicon and multiphonon processes.
