    By establishing a new trilinear estimate, we show a regularity criterion for the three dimensional micropolar fluid system via the velocity in homogeneous Besov spaces. This improves [B. Q. Dong, Z. L. Zhang, On the regularity criterion for three-dimensional micropolar fluid flows in Besov spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 73(2010), 2334-2341] in some sense

    We consider the three-dimensional Boussinesq equations and obtain a regularity criterion involving the pressure gradient in the Morrey-Companato space Mp,q. This extends and improves the result of Gala (Gala 2013) for the Navier-Stokes equations

    We obtain the existence of a global weak solution to a fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation by the Galerkin method. Its uniqueness is also discussed. In our proof, we use harmonic analysis techniques and compactness arguments

    Panoptic Scene Graph Generation

    Full text link
    Existing research addresses scene graph generation (SGG) -- a critical technology for scene understanding in images -- from a detection perspective, i.e., objects are detected using bounding boxes followed by prediction of their pairwise relationships. We argue that such a paradigm causes several problems that impede the progress of the field. For instance, bounding box-based labels in current datasets usually contain redundant classes like hairs, and leave out background information that is crucial to the understanding of context. In this work, we introduce panoptic scene graph generation (PSG), a new problem task that requires the model to generate a more comprehensive scene graph representation based on panoptic segmentations rather than rigid bounding boxes. A high-quality PSG dataset, which contains 49k well-annotated overlapping images from COCO and Visual Genome, is created for the community to keep track of its progress. For benchmarking, we build four two-stage baselines, which are modified from classic methods in SGG, and two one-stage baselines called PSGTR and PSGFormer, which are based on the efficient Transformer-based detector, i.e., DETR. While PSGTR uses a set of queries to directly learn triplets, PSGFormer separately models the objects and relations in the form of queries from two Transformer decoders, followed by a prompting-like relation-object matching mechanism. In the end, we share insights on open challenges and future directions.Comment: Accepted to ECCV'22 (Paper ID #222, Final Score 2222). Project Page: https://psgdataset.org/.

    The interactions of single-wall carbon nanohorns with polar epithelium

    Single-wall carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs), which have multitudes of horn interstices, an extensive surface area, and a spherical aggregate structure, offer many advantages over other carbon nanomaterials being used as a drug nanovector. The previous studies on the interaction between SWCNHs and cells have mostly emphasized on cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking, but seldom on epithelial cells. Polar epithelium as a typical biological barrier constitutes the prime obstacle for the transport of therapeutic agents to target site. This work tried to explore the permeability of SWCNHs through polar epithelium and their abilities to modulate transcellular transport, and evaluate the potential of SWCNHs in drug delivery. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell monolayer was used as a polar epithelial cell model, and as-grown SWCNHs, together with oxidized and fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated bovine serum albumin-labeled forms, were constructed and comprehensively investigated in vitro and in vivo. Various methods such as transmission electron microscopy and confocal imaging were used to visualize their intracellular uptake and localization, as well as to investigate the potential transcytotic process. The related mechanism was explored by specific inhibitors. Additionally, fast multispectral optoacoustic tomography imaging was used for monitoring the distribution and transport process of SWCNHs in vivo after oral administration in nude mice, as an evidence for their interaction with the intestinal epithelium. The results showed that SWCNHs had a strong bioadhesion property, and parts of them could be uptaken and transcytosed across the MDCK monolayer. Multiple mechanisms were involved in the uptake and transcytosis of SWCNHs with varying degrees. After oral administration, oxidized SWCNHs were distributed in the gastrointestinal tract and retained in the intestine for up to 36 h probably due to their surface adhesion and endocytosis into the intestinal epithelium. Overall, this comprehensive investigation demonstrated that SWCNHs can serve as a promising nanovector that can cross the barrier of polar epithelial cells and deliver drugs effectively

    The synthesis of novel AIE emitters with the triphenylethene-carbazole skeleton and para-/meta-substituted arylboron groups and their application in efficient non-doped OLEDs

    Get PDF
    Four novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active luminogens (p-DPDECZ, p-DBPDECZ, m-DPDECZ and m-DBPDECZ) with triphenylethene-carbazole skeleton and para-/meta-substituted arylboron groups have been synthesized. Their structures are fully characterized using elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The thermal stabilities, photophysical properties, electronic structures, and electrochemical properties of these molecules are investigated systematically using thermal analysis, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, theoretical calculation and electrochemical methods. The effects of donor–acceptor interaction and conjugation degree on the photoluminescent and electroluminescent properties of these compounds are investigated. The results show that these donor–AIE–acceptor type compounds exhibit good thermal stability and electrochemical stability as well as AIE properties. Non-doped fluorescent OLEDs fabricated by using para-linked p-DPDECZ as an emitting layer emits a green light with a turn-on voltage of 4.8 V, a maximum brightness of 30210 cd m-2 and a maximum current efficiency of 9.96 cd A-1. While the OLED prepared with meta-linked m-DBPDECZ exhibits efficient blue light emission with a maximum current efficiency of 4.49 cd A-1 and a maximum luminance of 16410 cd m-2. The electroluminescence properties of these compounds demonstrate their potential application in OLEDs

    New Aggregation-Induced Delayed Fluorescence Luminogens With Through-Space Charge Transfer for Efficient Non-doped OLEDs

    Get PDF
    In this work, two tailor-made luminogens comprising of electron donors (acridine and phenoxazine) and acceptor (triazine) bridged by the through-space conjugated hexaphenylbenzene (HPB) are synthesized and characterized. Their thermal stability, electrochemical behaviors, crystal, and electronic structures, and photophysical properties are systematically investigated. The crystal and electronic structures reveal that the peripheral phenyls in HPB are closely aligned in a propeller-like fashion, rendering efficient through-space charge transfer between donor and electron moieties. These molecules display weak fluorescence with negligible delayed component in solutions but strong fluorescence with greatly increased delayed component upon aggregate formation, namely aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF). Their neat films exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY), and prominent delayed fluorescence. The non-doped organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on these new luminogens exhibit excellent performance with maximum external quantum efficiency of 12.7% and very small efficiency roll-off of 2.7% at 1,000 cd m−2. Designing AIDF molecules with through-space charge transfer could be a promising strategy to explore robust luminescent materials for efficient non-doped OLEDs
