摘要:
In this paper, a switched linear parameter-varying (LPV) resilient tracking controller is designed for rigid-body under actuator faults, uncertainties in measurement of scheduling parameters and time-delay in detection of system modes. The nonlinear attitude dynamics of rigid-body is constructed as a switched LPV system in which persistent dwell-time switching rule is used to regulate the switches caused by abrupt and intermittent actuator failures. Thereafter, by constructing a class of both parameter-dependent and time-dependent multiple Lyapunov functions (MLFs), a switched LPV resilient tracking controller is developed in order that the global uniform exponential stability and desired L∞ performance of the underlying system are achieved even with uncertain scheduling parameters, mismatched modes and persistent external disturbances. Furthermore, the nonconvex conditions of control synthesis are converted into parameterized linear matrix inequalities that can be readily resolved via gridding technique. Finally, the availability of the provided approach is evaluated with a numerical simulation.

摘要:
Multimodal medical image fusion aims to integrate complementary information from different modalities of medical images. Deep learning methods, especially recent vision Transformers, have effectively improved image fusion performance. However, there are limitations for Transformers in image fusion, such as lacks of local feature extraction and cross-modal feature interaction, resulting in insufficient multimodal feature extraction and integration. In addition, the computational cost of Transformers is higher. To address these challenges, in this work, we develop an adaptive cross-modal fusion strategy for unsupervised multimodal medical image fusion. Specifically, we propose a novel lightweight cross Transformer based on cross multi-axis attention mechanism. It includes cross-window attention and cross-grid attention to mine and integrate both local and global interactions of multimodal features. The cross Transformer is further guided by a spatial adaptation fusion module, which allows the model to focus on the most relevant information. Moreover, we design a special feature extraction module that combines multiple gradient residual dense convolutional and Transformer layers to obtain local features from coarse to fine and capture global features. The proposed strategy significantly boosts the fusion performance while minimizing computational costs. Extensive experiments, including clinical brain tumor image fusion, have shown that our model can achieve clearer texture details and better visual quality than other state-of-the-art fusion methods.

摘要:
The aim of infrared and visible image fusion is to produce a composite image that can highlight the infrared targets and maintain plentiful detailed textures simultaneously. Despite the promising fusion performance of current deep-learning-based algorithms, most fusion algorithms highly depend on convolution operations, which limits their capability to represent long-range contextual information. To overcome this challenge, we design a novel infrared and visible image fusion network based on Res2Net and multiscale Transformer, called RMTFuse. Specifically, we devise a local feature extraction module based on Res2Net (LFE-RN) in which dense connections are adopted to reuse the information that might be lost in convolution operation and a global feature extraction module based on multiscale Transformer (GFE-MT) which is composed of a Transformer module and a global feature integration module (GFIM). The Transformer module extracts the coarse-to-fine semantic features of the source images, while GFIM is used to further aggregate the hierarchical features to strengthen contextual feature representations. Furthermore, we employ the pre-trained VGG-16 network to compute the loss of features with different depths. Massive experiments on mainstream datasets indicate that RMTFuse is superior to the state-of-the-art methods in both subjective and objective assessments.

摘要:
Due to the ease of chemisorption of self-assembled molecules on metal oxides, the dipole generation significantly minimizes interface recombination and improves hole extraction at the buried interface in inverted perovskite solar cells. By applying the same technique to the surface of perovskite films to enhance electron extraction and transportation properties, benzamidines are assembled on the surface of perovskite films via a unique host–guest strategy in this study. The ammonium cation, as a guest, interlocks itself in the crown ether’s cavity at the crown ether-treated perovskite films. Experimental characterizations and theoretical analyses show that this tightly bound interlocking self-assembles the benzamidine and creates dipole at the perovskite surface, facilitating electron extraction and preventing hole recombination. Consequently, it reduces the perovskite’s work function, thus establishing minimal photovoltage and filling factor losses with an efficiency of 25.19%. As analyzed via different theoretical calculations, the strength of this host–guest interlocking even stayed effective in the aqueous solution. Furthermore, the modified devices showed long-term stability under high humidity conditions due to host–guest films’ high hydrophobicity.

摘要:
In the emerging Web 3.0, origin-destination (OD) traffic maps play a crucial role in network maintenance and management. However, increasing network size and complexity, as well as insufficient or invalid NetFlow protocol-based measurements pose numerous challenges to recovering traffic maps for Web 3.0. This paper therefore proposes RNT-HTT, a robust Network Tomography model based on Hankel time-structured tensor, to accurately recover OD traffic maps with link loads and a fraction of NetFlow counts in Hankel tensor space. More specifically, we propose to Hankelize both OD traffic and link load matrices to three-way tensors along time direction, which fully exploits time-structured correlations concealed in network data. OD pairs-mode product is also designed to model the relation between the Hankelized OD traffic and link load tensors. On the basis of these, RNT-HTT formulates the recovery problem as a convex optimization program with tensor nuclear and ${{\ell }_{1}}$-norms to respectively effect traffic low-rank and noise sparsity characteristics. In addition, the block-iteration alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and bidirectional pre-sampling schemes are developed to solve RNT-HTT reliably and efficiently. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets verify effectiveness of RNT-HTT, and corroborate its superior performance over state-of-the-art methods in terms of the recovery accuracy.
摘要:
Avatar is one of the most intuitive central components in Metaverse and faces serious security problems, particularly during the interaction with each other. In this article, we consider the problem of timely detecting the stealthy anomaly in the avatar interaction, which is crucial for security and privacy in Metaverse. With this goal, a new tensor summary statistic is proposed first to well depict the statistical discrepancy between normal and anomalous interaction volume samples, even when anomalies are stealthy. The proposed tensor summary statistic is established from the tensor linear representation residual, which naturally implies the statistical probability that an interaction volume sample lies within or deviates from the tensor lateral space. Moreover, a convex optimization programme is introduced to robustly recover the tensor lateral space in the presence of anomalous samples, thereby enhancing the robustness of our tensor summary statistic. On the basis of the tensor summary statistic, a non-parametric statistic framework is developed for the real-time detection of the stealthy interaction volume anomaly. We also provide theoretical analysis concerning its detection performance and parameter selection. Extensive experiments using synthetic and real-world datasets verify our effectiveness and superiority. Compared with benchmark methods, the proposed detection scheme achieves significantly lower detection delay and higher false alarm period, particularly in the detection of stealthy anomalies with a low change rate.

All-dielectric metasurface;Bound states in the continuum;Refractive index sensing
摘要:
The quasi-bound states in the continuum (QBIC) have drawn increasing attention in optical metasurfaces derived from their ultrahigh quality factors, and show the utility to enhance the sensitivity of optical sensing. However, conventional single-resonance sensing may be inaccurate and unreliable, and then the dual-resonance sensing governed by the coupled QBIC is desired but remains elusive. Here, we show that the coupled QBIC modes can be leveraged to unfold dual-resonance refractive index sensing in the hybrid all-dielectric metasurface. Specifically, it is revealed that the toroidal dipole mode can be realized with strong electric field enhancement, enabling the implementation of anapole mode in the telecom short-wavelength band (1460–1530 nm). Under different linearly polarized illuminations, the dual symmetry-protected QBIC modes dominated by the electric quadrupole resonance can be fulfilled in the telecom extended-wavelength band (1360–1460 nm). Within this framework, the polarization-dependent dual symmetry-protected QBIC modes selectively coupled with the toroidal dipole mode or the anapole mode can not only uncover the transformation from Fano resonance to analog of electromagnetically induced transparency, but also manifest two types of high-sensitivity dual-resonance refractive index sensing in the telecom extended-wavelength and short-wavelength bands. The dual-resonance refractive index sensing can also be extended to telecom long-wavelength band (1565–1625 nm) and ultra-long-wavelength band (1625–1675 nm) with enhanced sensitivity. These results offer exploration potential for multi-channel sensing, optical modulators, and slow-light devices.

摘要:
Load following of the Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHTGR) under Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) faults and disturbances remains a major challenge. This paper focuses on proposing a fixed-time fault-tolerant control method for this issue without considering the sensitivities associated with parameter setting. Firstly, to reconstruct some unmeasurable states of the MHTGR and the values of CRDM faults, an adaptive learning observer is established. Based on the learning characteristic of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN), the lumped uncertainties can be approximated. And then a fixed-time fault-tolerant controller is developed to ensure that the actual load output of the MHTGR actually tracks the expected output power within a fixed time, which can be determined through the system and controller parameters. Finally, simulations under two operational conditions demonstrate the control method is effective and feasible to the MHTGR system under disturbance and CRDM faults.

摘要:
Four layer hexagonal SiC (4H-SiC) is a promising material for high temperature and high radiation environments, attributed to its excellent thermal conductivity and radiation resistance. However, the mechanism of radiation displacement cascades in 4H-SiC remains incomplete. This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) to explore the effects of radiation energy, direction and environmental temperature on displacement cascades in 4H-SiC. We simulated radiation displacement cascades in 4H-SiC under radiation energy ranging from 2 KeV to 10 KeV and temperature ranging from 0 K to 2100 K. We analyzed the variation pattern of radiation defects and clusters. We derived the empirical formulas describing the variation of defects and clusters with radiation energy and radiation direction. We revealed patterns in the number of radiation defects and clusters under different temperature. The findings enhance our understanding of radiation displacement cascades in 4H-SiC, providing valuable empirical formulas for predicting the behaviors of defects and clusters under varying radiation energy and temperature conditions, and have practical implications for designing materials resilient to radiation in semiconductor devices.

摘要:
The localized high-concentration electrolyte can be achieved by diluting a high-concentration electrolyte with an anti-solvent, which inherits the original solvation structural characteristics and reduces harmful interfacial reactions, resulting in an electrolyte with unique functions suitable for lithium metal batteries. Here, we design a localized high-concentration electrolyte with a capsule-like solvation structure and non-flammable properties to obtain stable-cycle and safe lithium metal batteries. The weak coordination and dipole-dipole interactions of fluorinated ether molecules promote the self-assembly of capsule-like solvated sheaths, encapsulating cations/anions and polar solvent molecules within the solvation sheath, which improves the oxidative stability of the electrolyte system and promotes the reduction of anions. A high-quality solid electrolyte layer was derived at the electrode interfaces, leading to rapid Li+ transport and dendrite-free lithium deposition. Consequently, a Coulombic efficiency of 99.7 % is achieved, and the assembled Li||NCM811 battery exhibits a long cycle life of more than 400 cycles at 0.5C with a capacity retention of 83 %. This work provides a promising approach for developing non-flammable electrolytes suitable for high-voltage lithium metal batteries.

摘要:
Developing a facile method to fabricate high-quality perovskite films without employing anti-solvent techniques is crucial for the scalable production of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, fabricating formamidinium-based perovskite films without anti-solvent often results in films of inferior quality with high defect density, limiting the photovoltaic performance and long-term stability of derived PSCs. In this study, self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was employed as hole transport layers to promote the buried interface nucleation and growth of anti-solvent-free perovskite, which is particularly critical for such systems. We use the in-situ characterization techniques to in-depth understand the role of SAM binding in regulating nucleation and crystallization of perovskite precursors in anti-solvent-free systems. The resulting perovskite films exhibit stable crystal lattices and efficient charge carrier transfer. Consequently, the best-performing inverted structure devices achieve power conversion efficiencies of 25.60% and 23.53% on small-area (0.0736 cm 2 ) and large-area (1.0 cm 2 ) devices, respectively, which is among the highest efficiencies of anti-solvent-free PSCs.

摘要:
Optimization of buried interfaces is crucial for achieving high efficiency in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs), owing to their role in facilitating hole transport and passivating the buried interface defects. While self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are commonly employed for this purpose, the inherent limitations of single SAMs, such as fixed material structure and energy levels, hinder their adaptability and further efficiency enhancement across diverse compositions. In this study, we present an effective strategy of blending with SAMs with varying dipole moments to modulate the energy levels and hole transport properties, leading to enhanced charge transport characteristics and suppression of energy losses at buried interfaces. The intrinsic mechanisms of energy level modulation on the device performance are further investigated through theoretical simulations. Ultimately, small-area (0.0736 cm 2 ) inverted PSCs with a 1.56 eV bandgap achieve a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.28% (certified efficiency of 25.80%), while large-area devices (1.1 cm 2 ) demonstrate an efficiency of 24.65%. Moreover, the energy-level-tunable SAM materials exhibit applicability across various PSCs with different preparation methods and bandgaps, achieving efficiencies of 24.44% for anti-solvent-free (1.56 eV) and 19.03% for wide-bandgap (1.85 eV) perovskite solar cells, respectively. Notably, devices employing these SAM materials demonstrate excellent photostability, maintaining over 95% of initial efficiency after 1000 hours of operation at the maximum power point (MPP).

摘要:
Accurately segmenting brain tumors from multimodal MRI sequences is a key prerequisite for brain tumor diagnosis, prognosis assessment, and surgical treatment. However, in practical applications, one or more modal data is often missing due to image corruption, different acquisition protocols, artifacts, contrast agent allergies, or cost considerations. To address the challenges of brain tumor segmentation under modality loss, this paper proposes an innovative tumor feature perception strategy. The core of this strategy is to introduce a Mamba-based Encoder (MBE) architecture, which effectively improves the feature expression ability of each modality encoder under limited data conditions. In view of the irregularity of tumor morphology, a Modulation and Demodulation Fusion Block (MDFB) is designed to accurately capture the semantic features of the tumor from the missing multimodal image data, providing strong guidance for the network to locate the tumor area. Experimental results on the widely used BraTS2020 dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of MMITS, and the brain tumor segmentation effect under various incomplete modalities is better than the state-of-the-art methods.
摘要:
Many thermal processes, described by distributed parameter systems (DPSs), work in a large-scale operation region. In each region, it has special nonlinear dynamics due to specific relative position with heat sources. Achieving a global dynamic model of this kind of processes is extremely difficult due to different local dynamic features. Here, a spatial graphic relation-based spatiotemporal fuzzy modeling method is proposed to reconstruct the model of the large-region DPSs. First, a spectral clustering strategy is developed for region division, where the large-scale spatiotemporal region is divided into several local regions. For each local region, the spatial basis functions (SBFs) are extracted to represent the energy exchange on space. To reflect the global spatial feature, an incremental fuzzy fusion approach is designed and integrates these SBFs to form a global spatial function. Then, the temporal dynamics is obtained by projecting the spatiotemporal data on this global spatial function and characterized by a fuzzy model. Integrating the global spatial function and temporal model, the spatiotemporal model is constructed for the process with large-scale operation region. Using theoretical analysis and experiment, modeling ability of the proposed model is demonstrated effectively.

摘要:
The selection of suitable functional π-bridges is crucial for enhancing the performance of dimerized small molecular acceptors (DSMAs). In this work, we synthesized three DSMAs incorporating different π-bridges (DTY-V with a vinyl linker, DTY-A with an acetylene linker, and DTY-T with a thiophene linker), and investigated how π-bridge modifications influence their photovoltaic performance. Among them, DTY-A demonstrated the strongest light absorption, compact intermolecular packing, and the best donor-acceptor miscibility. These characteristics facilitated more efficient exciton dissociation and enhanced electron transport pathways within the active layer, leading to simultaneous improvements in both current density and fill factor. As a result, the quasiplanar heterojunction (Q-PHJ) device based on D18:DTY-A achieved an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.30% along with excellent illumination stability, retaining over 85% of its initial efficiency after 1600 hours of light exposure. This study systematically compares the effects of three commonly used functional π-bridges on photovoltaic performance, providing valuable insights for the future design and optimization of dimerized acceptor molecular frameworks.

摘要:
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a pivotal process in numerous renewable energy conversion technologies. However, its sluggish intrinsic kinetics and intricate transfer process impede the efficient conversion of energy. Activating the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) is of paramount importance to break through the theoretical scaling relationship and boost the oxygen evolution catalytic activity. In this contribution, N and F are successfully introduced into Co(3)O(4) simultaneously as heteroatoms via a controllable plasma strategy to modulate the covalency property of metal-oxygen. Theoretical simulations and experiment results demonstrated that the covalency of the cobalt-oxygen bond is significantly enhanced under the synergistic effect of N and F, successfully triggering the LOM pathway and facilitating the OER process. The N, F-Co(3)O(4) composite displays an impressive OER performance, exhibiting a low overpotential of 254mV at 10mA cm(-2) and remarkable stability at 20, 150, and 400mA cm(-2). In addition, The N, F-Co(3)O(4) also exhibitsa low overpotential of 285mV at 20mA cm(-2) in 1 m KOH + 0.5m NaCl solution, and remarkable performance on overall water splitting. This work offers profound insights into the OER mechanism and a crucial strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of spinel oxides.

摘要:
Pulsed Eddy Current Testing (PECT) is a hotspot for non-destructive testing of metallic materials. As a key part of the system, the performance of the excitation source will directly affect the results. A new pulse power supply circuit is proposed to overcome the problems of long turn-off time, no constant current control, large volume, and low power of the excitation source in the existing PECT method for material defects. It uses a combination of linear regulated power supply and switched power supply to realize a compound circuit topology of constant current and constant voltage clamp. Then, the stability and rapidity of the excitation system are verified through simulation experiments and prototype demonstration. The amplitude of the pulsed power supply is adjustable within 20A, with an inaccuracy under 1%, and it is able to turn off at high speed with an edge fall time of nanoseconds. Finally, the prototype is used to simulate the detection of aluminum metal defects, the peak voltage of the detection coil can accurately identify different defect depths with high resolution. Its results show that the design method is feasible and has excellent performance.

摘要:
Three-dimensional metal halide perovskites (3D-MHPs) have emerged as potential semiconductors for direct-conversion X-ray detectors. However, excessive ion migration in 3D-MHPs compromises device stability, hindering practical deployment. While perovskite heterojunctions have been explored to suppress ion migration, their effectiveness are often limited by challenges in fabricating high-quality heterojunctions, resulting in suboptimal charge collection compared to individual perovskite crystals. In this work, a liquid-phase interfacial array-epitaxial growth method was developed to construct high-quality MAPbBr 3 /MAPbI 3 heterojunctions for direct X-ray detectors. The heterojunction crystal exhibit a serrated, ultrathick transition region that enhances X-ray response by increasing the interfacial contact area between MAPbBr 3 and MAPbI 3 . Consequently, the fabricated detectors demonstrate stable operational performance, a high sensitivity of 0.99 × 10 6 μC Gy air –1 cm –2 , and an ultralow detection limit of 0.56 nGy air s –1 . Furthermore, the built-in electric field enables self-powered X-ray detection at 0 V bias, achieving a sensitivity of 1.16 × 10 3 μC Gy air –1 cm –2 .
摘要:
INTRODUCTION: The interaction between endothelial cells can regulate hemostasis, vasodilation, as well as immune and inflammatory responses. Excessive loading on the endothelial cells leads to endothelial damage and endothelial barrier dysfunction. Understandingandmasteringthe dynamic nature of cell-cell rupture plays a crucial role in exploring the practical applications related to tumor destruction, vascular remodeling, and drug delivery byemploying cavitation-induced damage tosoft tissues. METHODS: To investigate the damage mechanisms of endothelial cellular networks under ultrasound cavitation, we developed a model of junction rupture in cellular networks based on the assumption that the process of intercellular rupture is irreversible when ultrasound-mediated forces exceed the damage threshold, whereas intercellular junctions have reversible behavior before rupture. Simulations using the strain accumulation method show that stress and strain exhibit complex nonlinear dynamic behavior. Ultrasonic cavitation damage was tested and evaluated on human umbilical vein endothelial cells. RESULTS: The results indicated that the cellular network damage was positively correlated with force amplitude and pulse frequency and was negatively correlated with driving frequency. The time lag and the internal force of cellular junctions have an important influence on the resistance to damage of the cellular network due to external forces. The damage experiment based on ultrasonic cavitation confirmed the effectiveness of the proposedmodel. CONCLUSIONS: The model provided a platform for understanding the damage mechanism of endothelial tissues and ultimately improving options for their prevention and treatment.

摘要:
This study focuses on the synthesis and the performance of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with varying chlorine dispersion in organic solar cells (OSCs). Four chlorine-mediated acceptors, BO3Cl- a , BO3Cl- γ , BO3Cl- β , and BOEH3Cl- β are synthesized with isomeric terminal groups and then integrated with donor PBDB-TF to fabricate OSCs. It finds that increased chlorine dispersion improves device efficiency with enhanced current and BOEH3Cl- β -based devices achieving a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 19%, which is one of the highest values reported for asymmetrically chlorinated acceptors. In OSC devices, Enhanced exciton dissociation and reduced carrier recombination are observed with more chlorine dispersion, along with improved charge transport due to modulation of molecular packing in the active layer. Furthermore, transient absorption spectroscopy elucidates that chlorine dispersion augments exciton diffusion time, thereby elevating the current density of devices, while the branching strategy further amplify the exciton lifetime of BOEH3Cl- β , preserving the value of short current in the face of spectral blue shifts of it. The findings suggest that chlorine-mediated dispersion is a key factor in enhancing OSC performance with improved current by progressive molecular packing arrangement and aggregation behaviors.
