A Survey on Multisensor Fusion and Consensus Filtering for Sensor Networks
Multisensor fusion and consensus filtering are two fascinating subjects in the research of sensor networks. In this survey, we will cover both classic results and recent advances developed in these two topics. First, we recall some important results in the development ofmultisensor fusion technology. Particularly, we pay great attention to the fusion with unknown correlations, which ubiquitously exist in most of distributed filtering problems. Next, we give a systematic review on several widely used consensus filtering approaches. Furthermore, some latest progress on multisensor fusion and consensus filtering is also presented. Finally,
conclusions are drawn and several potential future research directions are outlined.the Royal Society of the UK, the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301, 61374039, 61304010, 11301118, and 61573246, the Hujiang Foundation of China under Grants C14002

Pb(II) and Mn(II) Supermolecular Polymers of Bipy and (4-Chlorophenyloxy) Acetate Anions: Syntheses, Structure and Fluorescence Properties
Two new supermolecular polymers of the formula [Pb4L8(2,2’-bipy)4] 1 and [MnL2(4,4’-bipy)] 2 [HL = (4-chlorophenyloxy)acetic acid] have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy method and electrochemical analysis. Complex 1 is a multinuclear dimmer in which four Pb ions are linked together by the L ligands. In complex 2, each carboxyl of L bridges two Mn ions to form infinite Mn–O–C-Orods. Both in complex 1 and complex 2, π–π stacking and van der Waals’ interactions make the two complexes stable, 3-D, supermolecular polymers. This work will contribute to the design and synthesis of fluorescent, supramolecular polymers.Keywords: Supermolecular polymers, fluorescence, 4-chlorophenyloxyacetic aci
Electronic structure of heavily electron-doped BaFeCoAs studied by angle-resolved photoemission
We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
on heavily electron-doped non-superconducting (SC)
BaFeCoAs. We find that the two hole Fermi surface pockets
at the zone center observed in the hole-doped superconducting
BaKFeAs are absent or very small in this compound,
while the two electron pockets at the M point significantly expand due to
electron doping by the Co substitution. Comparison of the Fermi surface between
non-SC and SC samples indicates that the coexistence of hole and electron
pockets connected via the antiferromagnetic wave vector is essential in
realizing the mechanism of superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Local breaking of four-fold rotational symmetry by short-range magnetic order in heavily overdoped Ba(FeCu)As
We investigate Cu-doped Ba(FeCu)As with transport,
magnetic susceptibility, and elastic neutron scattering measurements. In the
heavily Cu-doped regime where long-range stripe-type antiferromagnetic order in
BaFeAs is suppressed, Ba(FeCu)As (0.145 0.553) samples exhibit spin-glass-like behavior in magnetic
susceptibility and insulating-like temperature dependence in electrical
transport. Using elastic neutron scattering, we find stripe-type short-range
magnetic order in the spin-glass region identified by susceptibility
measurements. The persistence of short-range magnetic order over a large doping
range in Ba(FeCu)As likely arises from local arrangements
of Fe and Cu that favor magnetic order, with Cu acting as vacancies relieving
magnetic frustration and degeneracy. These results indicate locally broken
four-fold rotational symmetry, suggesting that stripe-type magnetism is
ubiquitous in iron pnictides.Comment: accepted by Physical Review B Rapid Communication
