Efficient Persistent Luminescence Tuning Using a Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex as Efficient Light Conversion Materials

Developing an appropriate method to broaden the color of long persistent luminescence materials has important scientific significance and practical value but remains a great challenge. Herein, we have developed a unique strategy to fine-tune the persistent luminescence using the inclusion complex of rhodamine 6G with (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin as efficient light conversion materials. The emitting color of the novel persistent luminescence material could be tuned from green to orange by changing the concentration of the light conversion agent. Furthermore, afterglow decay measurements showed that the initial afterglow brightness is 9.65 cd/m2, and the initial afterglow brightness gradually decreased as the cyclodextrin inclusion compound coating increased. This design concept introduces a new perspective for broadening the luminescence color of afterglow phosphors, which may open up new opportunities for persistent luminescence materials toward many emerging applications

Combined optimization ghost imaging based on random speckle field

Ghost imaging is a non local imaging technology, which can obtain target information by measuring the second-order intensity correlation between the reference light field and the target detection light field. However, the current imaging environment requires a large number of measurement data, and the imaging results also have the problems of low image resolution and long reconstruction time. Therefore, using orthogonal methods such as QR decomposition, a variety of optimization methods for speckle patterns are designed combined with Kronecker product,which can help to shorten the imaging time, improve the imaging quality and image noise resistance

ObjectiveThe presence of urinary autoantibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been confirmed by several studies; however, the significance of their presence in urine remains unclear. This study aims to further investigate the association between urine autoantibodies and disease activity as well as organ involvement in SLE.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 89 SLE patients. Data collected included anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-ENA antibodies, and anti-dsDNA antibody levels in both serum and urine, complement (C) 3, C4 levels in serum, SLE disease activity index-2000 (SLEDAI-2000), renal domains of SLEDAI (RSLEDAI) and non-renal SLEDAI (NRSLEDAI).ResultsThe rate of positive urine ANA (uANA) was 33.3% (29/87) among the enrolled patients. Compared to the uANA negative group, the positive group exhibited significantly higher SLEDAI-2000 scores (7.85 ± 5.88 vs. 18.69 ± 6.93, p s = 0.663, p s = 0.662, p s = 0.143, p = 0.182). Conversely, the urine anti-dsDNA antibody level demonstrated a significant positive correlation with RSLEDAI (rs = 0.529, p ConclusionUrine ANA is associated with both global SLEDAI and RSLEDAI scores. Urine anti-Sm antibody is associated with an increased incidence of renal involvement in SLE. The urine anti-dsDNA antibody level, rather than the serum anti-dsDNA antibody level, exhibits a significant association with RSLEDAI in SLE.</p

Edge detection based on joint iteration ghost imaging

Imaging and edge detection have been widely applied and played an important role in security checking and medical diagnosis. However, as we know, most edge detection based on ghost imaging system require a large measurement times and the target object image cannot be provided directly. In this work, a new edge detection based on joint iteration of projected Landweber iteration regularization and guided filter ghost imaging method have been proposed which can be improved the feature detection quality in ghost imaging. This method can also achieve high quality imaging. Simulation and experiment results show that the spatial information and edge information of target object are successfully recovered from the random speckle patterns without special coding under a low measurement times, and the edge image quality is improved remarkably. This approach improves the the applicability of ghost imaging, and can satisfy the practical application fields of imaging and edge detection at the same time

Multi-resolution Progressive Computational Ghost Imaging

Ghost imaging needs massive measurements to obtain an image with good visibility and the imaging speed is usually very low. In order to realize real-time high-resolution ghost imaging of a target which is located in a scenario with a large field of view (FOV), we propose a high-speed multi-resolution progressive computational ghost imaging approach. The target area is firstly locked by a low-resolution image with a small number of measurements, then high-resolution imaging of the target can be obtained by only modulating the light fields corresponding to the target area. The experiments verify the feasibility of the approach. The influence of detection signal-to-noise ratio on the quality of multi-resolution progressive computational ghost imaging is also investigated experimentally. This approach may be applied to some practical application scenarios such as ground-to-air or air-to-air imaging with a large FOV
