An isogeometric analysis to identify the full flexoelectric complex material properties based on electrical impedance curve
摘要： In this paper, we present a new approach to identify all material parameters of flexoelectric materials based on electrical impedance curves. This approach combines an Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) formulation with a gradient-based optimization algorithm using the Method of Moving Asymptotes (MMA). The IGA formulation allows for efficient modeling of flexoelectricity taking advantage of the higher order continuity of IGA. The proposed methodology starts with determining preliminary real parts based on resonant modes in order to avoid local minima which gives the numerical impedance curves close to the experimental impedance curve. The results in the preliminary step are used as initial parameters of the refinement step to simultaneously determine both real and imaginary part by minimizing the difference between pseudo-experimental and numerical impedance curve. Some numerical examples are illustrated to show the good agreement between the numerical and pseudo-experimental impedance curves.

[IEEE 2018 17th International Conference on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) - Rapperswil, Switzerland (2018.6.18-2018.6.21)] 2018 17th International Conference on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) - Calculation of the Transient Electric Field Transmitted in a Lossy Medium Radiated by an Equivalent GPR Dipole Antenna
摘要： The paper deals with the characterization of electric field radiated by a GPR antenna and transmitted into a lossy medium. Realistic bow-tie GPR antenna is modeled as an equivalent dipole antenna with current distribution governed by Hallen integral equation. Electric field transmitted into a lossy medium is determined using Boundary Element formalism for the solution of field integral formulas. Electric field distribution at a certain depth is calculated using this procedure.

Peripapillary Retinal Pigment Epithelium Layer Shape Changes From Acetazolamide Treatment in the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial
摘要： PURPOSE. Recent studies indicate that the amount of deformation of the peripapillary retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch’s membrane (pRPE/BM) toward or away from the vitreous may reflect acute changes in cerebrospinal fluid pressure. The study purpose is to determine if changes in optic-nerve-head (ONH) shape reflect a treatment effect (acetazolamide/placebo + weight management) using the optical coherence tomography (OCT) substudy of the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial (IIHTT) at baseline, 3, and 6 months. METHODS. The pRPE/BM shape deformation was quantified and compared with ONH volume, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), and total retinal (pTR) thicknesses in the acetazolamide group (39 subjects) and placebo group (31 subjects) at baseline, 3, and 6 months. RESULTS. Mean changes of the pRPE/BM shape measure were significant and in the positive direction (away from the vitreous) for the acetazolamide group (P < 0.01), but not for the placebo group. The three OCT measures reflecting the reduction of optic disc swelling were significant in both treatment groups but greater in the acetazolamide group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS. Change in the pRPE/BM shape away from the vitreous reflects the effect of acetazolamide + weight management in reducing the pressure differential between the intraocular and retrobulbar arachnoid space. Weight management alone was also associated with a decrease in optic nerve volume/edema but without a significant change in the pRPE/BM shape, implying an alternative mechanism for improvement in papilledema and axoplasmic flow, independent of a reduction in the pressure differential.

Image quality optimization using a narrow vertical detector dental cone-beam CT
摘要： Objectives: To determine the optimised kV setting for a narrow detector cone-beam CT (CBCT) unit. Methods: Clinical (CL) and quantitative (QUANT) evaluations of image quality were performed using an anthropomorphic phantom. Technical (TECH) evaluation was performed with a polymethyl methacrylate phantom. Images were obtained using a PaX-i3D Green CBCT (Vatech, Hwaseong, Korea) device, with a large 21x19 and a medium 12x9 cm field of view, and high-dose (HD– ranging from 85 to 110 kV) and low-dose (LD– ranging from 75 to 95 kV) protocols, totalling four groups (21x19 cm HD, 21x19 cm LD, 12x9 cm HD, 12x9 cm LD). The radiation dose within each group was fixed by adapting the mA according to a predetermined dose-area product. For CL evaluation, three observers assessed images based on overall quality, sharpness, contrast, artefacts, and noise. For QUANT evaluation, mean grey value shift, % increase of standard deviation (SD), % of beam-hardening and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated. For TECH evaluation, segmentation accuracy, CNR, metal artefact SD, metal object area, and sharpness were measured. Representative parameters were chosen for CL, QUANT and TECH evaluations to determine the optimal kV based on biplot graphs. kV values of the same protocol were compared by bootstrapping approach. The ones that had statistical differences with the best kV were considered as worse quality. Results: Overall, kV values within the same group showed similar quality (p>0.05), except for 110 kV in 21x19 cm HD and 85 kV in 12x9 cm HD of CL score; also 85, 90 kV in 21x19 cm HD and 75, 80 kV in 21x19 cm LD of QUANT score which were worse (p<0.05). Conclusion: At a constant dose, low and high kV protocols yield acceptable image quality for a narrow-detector CBCT unit.

Cosine-transform-based chaotic system for image encryption
摘要： Chaos is known as a natural candidate for cryptography applications owing to its properties such as unpredictability and initial state sensitivity. However, certain chaos-based cryptosystems have been proven to exhibit various security defects because their used chaotic maps do not have complex dynamical behaviors. To address this problem, this paper introduces a cosine-transform-based chaotic system (CTBCS). Using two chaotic maps as seed maps, the CTBCS can produce chaotic maps with complex dynamical behaviors. For illustration, we produce three chaotic maps using the CTBCS and analyze their chaos complexity. Using one of the generated chaotic maps, we further propose an image encryption scheme. The encryption scheme uses high-efficiency scrambling to separate adjacent pixels and employs random order substitution to spread a small change in the plain-image to all pixels of the cipher-image. The performance evaluation demonstrates that the chaotic maps generated by the CTBCS exhibit substantially more complicated chaotic behaviors than the existing ones. The simulation results indicate the reliability of the proposed image encryption scheme. Moreover, the security analysis demonstrates that the proposed image encryption scheme provides a higher level of security than several advanced image encryption schemes.

Segmentation-aided classification of hyperspectral data using spatial dependency of spectral bands
摘要： Classifying every pixel of a hyperspectral image with a certain land-cover type is the cornerstone of hyperspectral image analysis. In the present study a segmentation-aided methodology for the spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral data is proposed. It considers the spatial dependence of the spectral bands, deals with the curse of dimensionality and handles the spectral variability. A local spatial regularization of spectral information is used, in order to derive an informative joint spectral-spatial representation of the data. A contiguity-based segmentation algorithm is formulated, in order to build the object-wise texture that can aid classifier learning. The hybrid use of the segmentation texture is evaluated in both pre-processing (i.e. selecting representative pixels to learn the classifier) and post-processing (i.e. refining predicted labels and removing possible outlier classifications). The experiments performed with the proposed methodology provide encouraging results, also compared to several recent state-of-the-art approaches.

Geometric parameters effect of the atomic force microscopy smart piezoelectric cantilever on the different rough surface topography quality by considering the capillary force
摘要： Nowadays, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) is widely used in the nanotechnology as a powerful nano-robot. The surface topography in Nanoscale is by far one of the most important usages of the AFM device. Hence, in this article, the vibration motion of a piezoelectric rectangular cross-section micro-cantilever (MC) which oscillates in the moist environment has been examined based on the Timoshenko beam theory. After extracting the MC governing equations according to Hamilton's principle, the finite element method has been used to discretize the motion equations. The surface topography has been simulated for various roughness forms in the tapping and non-contact modes by considering the effects of the Van der Waals, capillary and contact forces. Also, the experimental results obtained from the glass surface topography have been simulated. The results illustrate that the time delay in higher natural frequencies in the tapping mode is shorter in comparison with the non-contact mode, especially, for the lower natural frequencies. The sensitivity analysis of the natural frequencies, topography depth and time delay have been simulated. Results indicate that the most effective parameter is the MC length. In the first mode, the first section length has the highest effect on the surface topography time delay, also, in the second vibration mode; the most effective parameter on the time delay is the MC tip length based on the simulation results.

Cross striation in human permanent and deciduous enamel measured with confocal Raman microscopy
摘要： Dental enamel is the most mineralized tissue in the human body and has a very complex organization. The aim of the present study was to evaluate chemical composition and orientation of crystals in human enamel cross striation using confocal Raman microscope. Slices of teeth were prepared and scanned using a confocal Raman microscope. Cross striation spacing was calculated according to the variation of PO4 3? peak intensity. The measurements showed a characteristic length between two cross striations of 2.70 (SD 0.43) μm for permanent teeth and 1.75 (SD 0.37) for deciduous teeth. Ratios between OH and PO4 3? peaks, for 0 and 90 degrees angulation, are, respectively, 9.18 (SD 0.80) and 44.74 (SD 3.12) for decidual teeth, and 11.72 (SD 1.46) and 22.12 (SD 3.15) for adult teeth. This confirmed that the hydroxyapatite crystal is well oriented along the enamel prism, as reported in the literature, but with a significant increase in deciduous teeth. K‐mean cluster binary images were calculated to compare the ratio of the centroid peaks of the cross striation zone and inter cross striation material. The regions corresponding to inner prism, included cross striations, are more mineralized than the outer part of enamel prism. In the prism, the Pearson correlation test was performed based on the intensity of hydroxyapatite characteristic peaks (ν1 PO4 3?, ν1 CO3 2?, and OH). The variations were well correlated: These results indicated that cross striations corresponded to the variation of hydroxyapatite concentration and not to a variation of crystals orientation.

Total polyphenol quantitation using integrated NIR and MIR spectroscopy: A case study of Chinese dates ( <i>Ziziphus jujuba</i> )
摘要： Polyphenols are the foremost measure of phytochemicals in Chinese dates due to their many potential health benefits such as averting cancers, reducing the risk of coronary artery disease, diuretic activity, myocardial stimulant, coronary dilator and muscle relaxant. To quantitate the polyphenols in Chinese dates using a data fusion approach with near‐infrared (NIR) and mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy. A total of 80 Chinese dates samples were used for data acquisition from both NIR and MIR spectroscopy. The efficient spectral intervals were extracted by the synergy interval partial least square (Si‐PLS) algorithm as input variables for NIR‐MIR fusion model. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used to construct the model based on NIR‐MIR fusion. The performance of the developed models was evaluated using correlation coefficients of calibration (R2) and prediction (r2), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), bias and residual prediction deviation (RPD). The data fusion model based on the GA was superior compared to NIR and MIR build model. The optimal GA‐fusion model yielded R2 = 0.9621, r2 = 0.9451, RPD = 2.44, calibration set bias = 0.004 and prediction set bias = 0.061, computing only 15 variables. These findings reveal that integration of NIR and MIR is possible for the prediction of total polyphenol content in Chinese dates.

The conditional mean spectra by disaggregating the eta spectral shape indicator
摘要： Conditional spectra are a recent development in this field, which utilizes the advantages of spectral shape indicators, for example, epsilon and eta. The application of an eta indicator in conditional spectra calculations depends mainly on calculating the peak ground velocity epsilon, data about which are not readily available in the current literature. This issue has been solved by linear regression between the conventional epsilon and the peak ground velocity epsilon. However, not enough attention has been paid in the literature to the disaggregation of the eta indicator. For this reason, the disaggregation of seismic hazard based on the use of an eta indicator has been investigated in this paper, based on a simplified linear seismic source. The obtained results were compared with the available approach in the literature, which shows that this refinement has a meaningful effect on the conditional spectra specifically in the short period range. Furthermore, eta‐based conditional spectra are used at different hazard levels to select ground‐motion records. A three‐storeyed building is then analysed, and the corresponding annual probability of failure is calculated based on the full dataset as well as on the records, which were selected based on conditional spectra.
