STUDY OF APPLICATION OF THZ TIME DOMAIN SPECTROSCOPY IN FOOD SAFETY
Abstract: In this paper, a new spectroscopy technology named terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is introduced, which is used in food safety. We describe a coherent subpicosecond THz spectroscopy system based on nonresonant optical rectification for the generation of THz radiation. As an example, we measured absorption spectrum of water vapor by THz-TDS in frequency from 0.5 to 2.5 THz, The experiment demonstrated that the spectroscopy resolution of system was up to 0.0001THz, which can be measured vegetable pesticide residual, for it neither need sample pretreatment nor cause pollution
Bearing fault diagnosis and degradation analysis based on improved empirical mode decomposition and maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution
Detecting periodic impulse signal (PIS) is the core of bearing fault diagnosis. Earlier fault detected, earlier maintenance actions can be implemented. On the other hand, remaining useful life (RUL) prediction provides important information when the maintenance should be conducted. However, good degradation features are the prerequisite for effective RUL prediction. Therefore, this paper mainly concerns earlier fault detection and degradation feature extraction for bearing. Maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) can enhance PIS produced by bearing fault. Whereas, it only achieve good effect when bearing has severe fault. On the contrary, PIS produced by bearing weak fault is always masked by heavy noise and cannot be enhanced by MCKD. In order to resolve this problem, a revised empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm is used to denoise bearing fault signal before MCKD processing. In revised EMD algorithm, a new recovering algorithm is used to resolve mode mixing problem existed in traditional EMD and it is superior to ensemble EMD. For degradation analysis, correlated kurtosis (CK) value is used as degradation indicator to reflect health condition of bearing. Except of theory analysis, simulated bearing fault data, injected bearing fault data, real bearing fault data and bearing degradation data are used to verify the proposed method. Simulated bearing fault data is used to explain the existed problems. Then, injected bearing fault data and real bearing fault data are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed method for fault diagnosis. Finally, bearing degradation data is used to verify the degradation feature CK extracted based on proposed method. All these case studies show the effectiveness of proposed fault diagnosis and degradation tracking method

Visual Quality Assessment after Network Transmission Incorporating NS2 and Evalvid
On the basis of Evalvid tool integrated in NS2 (Network Simulator version 2), the paper gets new set of tools, myEvalvid, to establish the simulation and evaluation platform for multimedia transmission. Then the paper investigates the effects of various influence factors when multimedia information is transmitted in the network and the relationships among these factors. Based on the analysis, the paper gets different evaluation models, respectively. In this paper, we study the impact on performance of several basic source and network parameters of video streams, namely, GOP (Group of Pictures) pattern, compression quantitative parameters, packet length, and packet error rate. Simulation results show that different parameters lead to different distortion levels which are calculated according to the reconstruction images at the receiver and the original images. The experimental results show that the video transmission and quality evaluation model we designed can evaluate multimedia transmission performance over complex environment very well

Spatially Resolving Spin-split Edge States of Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons
A central question in the field of graphene-related research is how graphene
behaves when it is patterned at the nanometer scale with different edge
geometries. Perhaps the most fundamental shape relevant to this question is the
graphene nanoribbon (GNR), a narrow strip of graphene that can have different
chirality depending on the angle at which it is cut. Such GNRs have been
predicted to exhibit a wide range of behaviour (depending on their chirality
and width) that includes tunable energy gaps and the presence of unique
one-dimensional (1D) edge states with unusual magnetic structure. Most GNRs
explored experimentally up to now have been characterized via electrical
conductivity, leaving the critical relationship between electronic structure
and local atomic geometry unclear (especially at edges). Here we present a
sub-nm-resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS)
study of GNRs that allows us to examine how GNR electronic structure depends on
the chirality of atomically well-defined GNR edges. The GNRs used here were
chemically synthesized via carbon nanotube (CNT) unzipping methods that allow
flexible variation of GNR width, length, chirality, and substrate. Our STS
measurements reveal the presence of 1D GNR edge states whose spatial
characteristics closely match theoretical expectations for GNR's of similar
width and chirality. We observe width-dependent splitting in the GNR edge state
energy bands, providing compelling evidence of their magnetic nature. These
results confirm the novel electronic behaviour predicted for GNRs with
atomically clean edges, and thus open the door to a whole new area of
applications exploiting the unique magnetoelectronic properties of chiral GNRs
