Enhancing the machine vision performance with multi-spectral light sources
This study mainly focuses on the performance of different multi-spectral
light sources on different object colors in machine vision and tries to enhance
machine vision with multi-spectral light sources. Using different color pencils
as samples, by recognizing the collected images with two classical neural
networks, AlexNet and VGG19, the performance was investigated under 35
different multi-spectral light sources. The results show that for both models
there are always some non-pure white light sources, whose accuracy is better
than pure white light, which suggests the potential of multi-spectral light
sources to further enhance the effectiveness of machine vision. The comparison
of both models is also performed, and surprised to find that the overall
performance of VGG19 is lower than that of AlexNet, which shows that the
importance of the choice of multi-spectral light sources and models.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure
Influence of Spartina alterniflora invasion stages on macrobenthic communities on a tidal flat in Wenzhou Bay, China
Muitos habitats costeiros vêm sendo alterados substancialmente pela invasão de Spartina alterniflora no leste da China. Em 2007, em uma planÃcie de maré situada em Wenzhou Bay, foram analisadas riqueza de espécies, densidade e diversidade da macrofauna bêntica em relação a diferentes estágios da invasão da gramÃnea e à estação do ano. Para as medidas de diversidade foram usados os Ãndices de Margalef (R) e de Shannon (H'). Foram detectados efeitos significativos do estágio de invasão e época do ano sobre a macrofauna. As comunidades macrofaunais foram mais complexas nas manchas onde a invasão de S. alterniflora estava no seu inÃcio, quando considerados os locais onde as manchas estavam em estágios mais avançados. Através das análises de agrupamento e ordenação as comunidades puderam ser classificadas pelo tipo de habitat formado em cada estágio de invasão da Spartina. Os resultados indicaram que a biodiversidade aumentou no estágio de invasão inicial (idade de invasão de 1 a 2 anos), mas diminuiu gradativamente com os estágios intermediário (idade de invasão de 3 a 4 anos) e completo (idade de invasão de 5 a 6 anos), mostrando assim o efeito deletério de S. alterniflora sobre a estrutura da macrofauna presente no local.Many coastal habitats in eastern China are being substantially altered by the invasion of Spartina alterniflora. The species richness, density, Margalef's diversity index (R) and Shannon's diversity index (H') of macrobenthic communities on a tidal flat in Wenzhou Bay, China, were analyzed with the factors of invasion stage and season, in 2007. A significant effect of invasion stage, season, and the interaction between them on communities was detected. The macrobenthic community was more complex in the patch of initial S. alterniflora invasion than in the patches of some other invasion stages. Macrobenthic communities were classified by cluster and ordination in accordance with the habitat character of the S. alterniflora invasion stage. Our research demonstrated that the S. alterniflora invasion stage affected the macrobenthic communities significantly. The results indicated that biodiversity increased in the initial stage of invasion (invasion age 1-2 years) and then decreased in the stage of invasion underway (invasion age 3-4 years) and in the stage of invasion completed (invasion age 5-6 years); this phenomenon was related to the change in the S. alterniflora canopy which accompanied the invasion stages
(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)bisÂ(4-chloroÂbenzoato-κO)zinc
In the title compound, [Zn(C7H4ClO2)2(C10H8N2)], the ZnII atom is coordinated by two O atoms from two 4-chloroÂbenzoate ligands and two N atoms from a chelating 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) molÂecule in a distorted N2O2 tetraÂhedral geometry. The ZnII atom is located on a twofold rotation axis, which also passes through the mid-point of the central C—C bond of the bpy ligand. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interÂactions between the pyridine rings of the bpy ligands [centroid–centroid distance = 3.642 (3) Å] link the complex molÂecules into a two-dimensional supraÂmolecular structure parallel to (100). An intraÂmolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond is also observed
catena-Poly[[(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3 N,N′,N′′)(tricyanoÂmethanido-κN)nickel(II)]-μ-tricyanoÂmethanido]
In the title complex, [Ni(C4N3)2(C15H11N3)]n, each of the two different NiII atoms is coordinated by one 2,2′:6′2′′-terpyridine (terpy) and three tricyanoÂmethanide ligands in a distorted octaÂhedral geometry. The NiII atoms are linked to each other, forming an infinite chain parallel to (10). π–π Stacking interÂactions of terpy molÂecules between adjacent chains (centroid–centroid distance = 3.785 Å), along with weak interÂmolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the uncoordinated terminal N atoms of the tricyanomethanide ions and the terpyridine H atoms, result in the formation of a three-dimensional network structure
Holographic Storage of Biphoton Entanglement
Coherent and reversible storage of multi-photon entanglement with a multimode
quantum memory is essential for scalable all-optical quantum information
processing. Although single photon has been successfully stored in different
quantum systems, storage of multi-photon entanglement remains challenging
because of the critical requirement for coherent control of photonic
entanglement source, multimode quantum memory, and quantum interface between
them. Here we demonstrate a coherent and reversible storage of biphoton
Bell-type entanglement with a holographic multimode atomic-ensemble-based
quantum memory. The retrieved biphoton entanglement violates Bell's inequality
for 1 microsecond storage time and a memory-process fidelity of 98% is
demonstrated by quantum state tomography.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted by Phys. Rev. Let
Photoacoustic Identification of Laser-induced Microbubbles as Light Scattering Centers for Optical Limiting in Liquid Suspension of Graphene Nanosheets
Liquid suspensions of carbon nanotubes, graphene and transition metal
dichalcogenides have exhibited excellent performance in optical limiting.
However, the underlying mechanism has remained elusive and is generally
ascribed to their superior nonlinear optical properties such as nonlinear
absorption or nonlinear scattering. Using graphene as an example, we show that
photo-thermal microbubbles are responsible for the optical limiting as strong
light scattering centers: graphene sheets absorb incident light and become
heated up above the boiling point of water, resulting in vapor and microbubble
generation. This conclusion is based on direct observation of bubbles above the
laser beam as well as a strong correlation between laser-induced ultrasound and
optical limiting. In-situ Raman scattering of graphene further confirms that
the temperature of graphene under laser pulses rises above the boiling point of
water but still remains too low to vaporize graphene and create graphene plasma
bubbles. Photo-thermal bubble scattering is not a nonlinear optical process and
requires very low laser intensity. This understanding helps us to design more
efficient optical limiting materials and understand the intrinsic nonlinear
optical properties of nanomaterials
