Despite advancements in optical detection capabilities through imaging systems, including spectral, polarization, and infrared technologies, there is still a lack of effective real-time method for accurately detecting small-size and high-efficient camouflaged people in complex real-world scenes.

The fragment impact is widely used to evaluate the response of explosive charges. In our work, the explosive detonation driving technique was used to generate a high velocity fragment with large mass. When the fragment masses are10 g, 16 g, 25 g, and 50 g, the highest velocity of fragments can reach 2400 m/s, 2100 m/s, 1900 m/s, and1400 m/s, respectively. The high velocity fragment with large mass was used to evaluate the safety of two kinds of CL-20 based explosive charges. The effects of the fragment mass and velocity were analyzed.Especially, the reaction extent was obtained based on visible phenomenon. The CL-20-based explosive charge containing Al had a higher safety level than that without Al. It was because Al had good ductility,and further improved the mechanical property of the material. Also, the numerical simulation was conducted to understand the reaction characteristics of the CL-20-based explosive charge. The results showed that as the fragment mass and velocity increased, the reaction became more violent.展开更多

文摘Human disturbance activities is one of the main reasons for inducing geohazards.Ecological impact assessment metrics of roads are inconsistent criteria and multiple.From the perspective of visual observation,the environment damage can be shown through detecting the uncovered area of vegetation in the images along road.To realize this,an end-to-end environment damage detection model based on convolutional neural network is proposed.A 50-layer residual network is used to extract feature map.The initial parameters are optimized by transfer learning.An example is shown by this method.The dataset including cliff and landslide damage are collected by us along road in Shennongjia national forest park.Results show 0.4703 average precision(AP)rating for cliff damage and 0.4809 average precision(AP)rating for landslide damage.Compared with YOLOv3,our model shows a better accuracy in cliff and landslide detection although a certain amount of speed is sacrificed.
文摘Two new complexes,[Zn_(2)(L1)(HL1)(NO_(3))]·CH_(3)OH(1)and[Zn_(3)(L2)(L3)_(3)Cl]·CH_(3)OH(2),were successfully synthesized by‘one-pot’method based on cinnoline-3-ylhydrazine ligand and zinc with 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde ligands,respectively,where H_(2)L1=5-methoxy-2-(phthalazin-1-ylhydrazonomethyl)-phenol,H_(2)L2=2-methoxy-6-(phthalazin-1-yl-hydrazonomethyl)-phenol,HL3=2-(1,8-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-α]phthalazin-3-yl)-6-methoxy-phenol.Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by infrared spectroscopy,elemental analysis,single-crystal X-ray diffraction,powder X-ray diffraction,etc.It is worth noting that the cinnolin-3-yl-hydrazine ligand and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde form two types of Schiff bases(H_(2)L2 and HL3)when in situ reacting and coordinating with Zn(Ⅱ),and HL3 also has two coordination modes.In addition,the fluorescence performance showed that complex 1 can achieve selective and sensitive sensing of Al^(3+)in water with a detection limit of 6.37μmol·L^(-1).CCDC:2413978,1;2413979,2.
文摘In recent years,with the development of synthetic aperture radar(SAR)technology and the widespread application of deep learning,lightweight detection of SAR images has emerged as a research direction.The ultimate goal is to reduce computational and storage requirements while ensuring detection accuracy and reliability,making it an ideal choice for achieving rapid response and efficient processing.In this regard,a lightweight SAR ship target detection algorithm based on YOLOv8 was proposed in this study.Firstly,the C2f-Sc module was designed by fusing the C2f in the backbone network with the ScConv to reduce spatial redundancy and channel redundancy between features in convolutional neural networks.At the same time,the Ghost module was introduced into the neck network to effectively reduce model parameters and computational complexity.A relatively lightweight EMA attention mechanism was added to the neck network to promote the effective fusion of features at different levels.Experimental results showed that the Parameters and GFLOPs of the improved model are reduced by 8.5%and 7.0%when mAP@0.5 and mAP@0.5:0.95 are increased by 0.7%and 1.8%,respectively.It makes the model lightweight and improves the detection accuracy,which has certain application value.

文摘Detection of target analytes at low concentrations is significant in various fields,including pharmaceuticals,healthcare,and environmental protection.Theophylline(TP),a natural alkaloid used as a bronchodilator to treat respiratory disorders such as asthma,bronchitis,and emphysema,has a narrow therapeutic window with a safe plasma concentration ranging from 55.5-111.0μmol·L^(-1)in adults.Accurate monitoring of TP levels is essential because too low or too high can cause se-rious side effects.In this regard,non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors offer a practical solution with rapidity,portability,and high sensitivity.This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the recent developments of non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors for TP detection,highlighting the basic principles,electro-oxidation mechanisms,catalytic effects,and the role of modifying materials on electrode performance.Carbon-based electrodes such as glassy carbon electrodes(GCEs),carbon paste electrodes(CPEs),and carbon screen-printed electrodes(SPCEs)have become the primary choices for non-enzymatic sensors due to their chemical stability,low cost,and flexibility in modification.This article identifies the sig-nificant contribution of various modifying materials,including nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes(CNTs),graphene,metal oxides,and multi-element nanocomposites.These modifications enhance sensors’electron transfer,sensitivity,and selectivity in detecting TP at low concentrations in complex media such as blood plasma and pharmaceutical samples.The electro-oxidation mechanism of TP is also discussed in depth,emphasizing the hydroxyl and carbonyl reaction pathways strongly influenced by pH and electrode materials.These mechanisms guide the selection of the appropriate electrode ma-terial for a particular application.The main contribution of this article is to identify superior modifying materials that can improve the performance of non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors.In a recent study,the combination of multi-element nanocomposites based on titanium dioxide(TiO_(2)),CNTs,and gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)resulted in the lowest detection limit of 3×10^(-5)μmol·L^(-1),reflecting the great potential of these materials for developing high-performance electrochemical sensors.The main conclusion of this article is the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in electrode material design to support the sensitivity and selectivity of TP detection.In addition,there is still a research gap in understanding TP’s more detailed oxidation mechanism,especially under pH variations and complex environments.Therefore,further research on electrode modification and analysis of the TP oxidation mechanism are urgently needed to improve the accuracy and sta-bility of the sensor while expanding its applications in pharmaceutical monitoring and medical diagnostics.By integrating various innovative materials and technical approaches,this review is expected to be an essential reference for developing efficient and affordable non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors.
文摘For segmented detectors,surface flatness is critical as it directly influences both energy resolution and image clarity.Additionally,the limited adjustment range of the segmented detectors necessitates precise benchmark construction.This paper proposes an architecture for detecting detector flatness based on channel spectral dispersion.By measuring the dispersion fringes for coplanar adjustment,the final adjustment residual is improved to better than 300 nm.This result validates the feasibility of the proposed technology and provides significant technical support for the development of next-generation large-aperture sky survey equipment.

文摘We used the natural product chamomile as a carbon source to synthesize praseodymium(Pr) and nitrogen(N) co-doped biomass carbon dots(Pr/N-BCDs) with remarkable luminescence properties by one-step hydrothermal method.Compared with single N-doped BCDs(N-BCDs) and Pr-doped BCDs(Pr-BCDs),Pr/N-BCDs not only showed better fluorescence properties and stability but also achieved a significant increase in quantum yield of 12%.More importantly,under certain conditions,Pr/N-BCDs and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazide(2,4-DNPH) had significant fluorescence internal filtration effect(IFE) and dynamic quenching effect,and in the concentration range of0.50-20 μmol·L^(-1),the concentration of 2,4-DNPH had a good linear relationship with the fluorescence quenching signal,and the detection limit was as low as 2.1 nmol·L^(-1).

文摘CAB is a binder commonly utilized in CL-20-based mixed explosives.Based on the requirements of CL-20-based polymer bonded explosives in formability,safety,and detonation energy,we explored a hightoughness and low dosage CAB binder system.CAB was subjected to different toughening modifications and the effects of the modified CAB binders on the bonding and coating of CL-20 crystals,as well as the formability,safety,and mechanical properties of CL-20-based polymer bonded explosive molding powder(MP)were evaluated.The changes in glass transition temperature(Tg)and mechanical properties of the modified binders were investigated using the molecular dynamics simulation at first.A series of modified binders with different molecular weights were then synthesized and characterized by FTIR,1H NMR,^(13)C NMR and SEC.The T_(g) and cross-sectional morphologies of the binder membranes were determined by DSC and SEM.The tensile properties of the binder membranes with different molecular weights and their mixtures with the plasticizer were evaluated at different temperature.With the optimized modified binder,CL-20/CAB and CL-20/CAB-g-PCL-3 MPs with the same plasticizer ratio and Cl-20/CAB-g-PCL-3 MP with a lower plasticizer ratio and higher CL-20 content were prepared and evaluated for the bonding and coating effects,crystal form,mechanical sensitivity and specific heat capacity(C_(p))by SEM,XRD,sensitivity testing and DSC,respectively.Their compressive strengths and splitting tensile strengths were measured at different temperature using a universal testing machine.Our work has provided a high-toughness and low-dosage binder system for CL-20-based MPs and offers a novel strategy to improve the formability,safety,and energy of CL-20 based polymer bonded explosives.

文摘With the approval of more and more genetically modified(GM)crops in our country,GM safety management has become more important.Transgenic detection is a major approach for transgenic safety management.Nevertheless,a convenient and visual technique with low equipment requirements and high sensitivity for the field detection of GM plants is still lacking.On the basis of the existing recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)technique,we developed a multiplex RPA(multi-RPA)method that can simultaneously detect three transgenic elements,including the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S gene(CaMV35S)promoter,neomycin phosphotransferaseⅡgene(NptⅡ)and hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene(Hyg),thus improving the detection rate.Moreover,we coupled this multi-RPA technique with the CRISPR/Cas12a reporter system,which enabled the detection results to be clearly observed by naked eyes under ultraviolet(UV)light(254 nm;which could be achieved by a portable UV flashlight),therefore establishing a multi-RPA visual detection technique.Compared with the traditional test strip detection method,this multi-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a technique has the higher specificity,higher sensitivity,wider application range and lower cost.Compared with other polymerase chain reaction(PCR)techniques,it also has the advantages of low equipment requirements and visualization,making it a potentially feasible method for the field detection of GM plants.
文摘The impact safety of explosive charges has been focused in these decades. The fragment impact is widely used to evaluate the response of explosive charges. In our work, the explosive detonation driving technique was used to generate a high velocity fragment with large mass. When the fragment masses are10 g, 16 g, 25 g, and 50 g, the highest velocity of fragments can reach 2400 m/s, 2100 m/s, 1900 m/s, and1400 m/s, respectively. The high velocity fragment with large mass was used to evaluate the safety of two kinds of CL-20 based explosive charges. The effects of the fragment mass and velocity were analyzed.Especially, the reaction extent was obtained based on visible phenomenon. The CL-20-based explosive charge containing Al had a higher safety level than that without Al. It was because Al had good ductility,and further improved the mechanical property of the material. Also, the numerical simulation was conducted to understand the reaction characteristics of the CL-20-based explosive charge. The results showed that as the fragment mass and velocity increased, the reaction became more violent.
文摘A measurement system for the scattering characteristics of warhead fragments based on high-speed imaging systems offers advantages such as simple deployment,flexible maneuverability,and high spatiotemporal resolution,enabling the acquisition of full-process data of the fragment scattering process.However,mismatches between camera frame rates and target velocities can lead to long motion blur tails of high-speed fragment targets,resulting in low signal-to-noise ratios and rendering conventional detection algorithms ineffective in dynamic strong interference testing environments.In this study,we propose a detection framework centered on dynamic strong interference disturbance signal separation and suppression.We introduce a mixture Gaussian model constrained under a joint spatialtemporal-transform domain Dirichlet process,combined with total variation regularization to achieve disturbance signal suppression.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed disturbance suppression method can be integrated with certain conventional motion target detection tasks,enabling adaptation to real-world data to a certain extent.Moreover,we provide a specific implementation of this process,which achieves a detection rate close to 100%with an approximate 0%false alarm rate in multiple sets of real target field test data.This research effectively advances the development of the field of damage parameter testing.

文摘Calcium ions(Ca^(2+))and manganese ions(Mn^(2+))are essential for sustaining life activities and are key monitoring indicators in drinking water.Developing highly sensitive,selective,and portable detection methods for Ca^(2+)and Mn^(2+)is significant for water quality monitoring and human health.In this paper,blue fluorescent Ti3C2 MXene-based quantum dots(MQDs,λ_(em)=445 nm)are prepared using Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene as the precursor.Through the chelation effect of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA),a blue and red dual-emission fluorescent probe,MQDs-EDTA-Eu^(3+)-DPA,was constructed.Herein,dipicolinic acid(DPA)acts as an absorbing ligand and significantly enhances the red fluorescence of europium ions(Eu^(3+))at 616 nm through the“antenna effect”.The blue fluorescence of MQDs serves as an internal reference signal.High concentrations of Ca^(2+)can quench the red fluorescence of Eu^(3+)-DPA;Mn^(2+)can be excited to emit purple fluorescence at 380 nm after coordinating with DPA,red fluorescence of Eu^(3+)-DPA serves as the internal reference signal.Based on the above two fluorescence intensity changes,ratiometric fluorescence detection methods for Ca^(2+)and Mn^(2+)are established.The fluorescence intensity ratio(IF_(616)/IF_(445))exhibits a linear relationship with Ca^(2+)in the range of 35-120μmol/L,with a detection limit of 5.98μmol/L.The fluorescence intensity ratio(IF_(380)/IF_(616))shows good linearity with Mn^(2+)in the range of 0-14μmol/L,with a detection limit of 28.6 nmol/L.This method was successfully applied to the quantitative analysis of Ca^(2+)and Mn^(2+)in commercially available mineral water(Nongfu Spring,Ganten,and Evergrande),with recovery rates of 80.6%-117%and relative standard deviations(RSD)of 0.76%-4.6%.Additionally,by preparing MQD-based fluorescent test strips,visual detections of Ca^(2+)and Mn^(2+)are achieved.This work demonstrates the application potential of MQDs in the field of visual fluorescence sensing of ions in water quality.
