[IEEE 2018 IEEE PES/IAS PowerAfrica - Cape Town (2018.6.28-2018.6.29)] 2018 IEEE PES/IAS PowerAfrica - Estimation of Inverter-Based Solar PV Penetration on Medium Voltage Networks Using Grid Impedance
摘要： Installation and control of connecting inverter-based generation to medium voltage networks are constrained by network grid structure and by technical regulations that limits its penetration into the network. Medium voltage networks form the backbone to which low-voltage inverter-based generation such as solar PV systems are connect to. However, these networks generally have inconsistent impedances that vary with line lengths, conductor types and load distribution and therefore make them not as flexible and cost effective to efficiently allow adequate penetration of solar PV type distributed generation (capacity in kW) to be integrated. A generic model that mimics a medium voltage network is analyzed in this paper to determine how inverter-based generation can be maximized on the network in terms of its location by focusing on line impedance ratios to achieve voltage regulation.

Quantification of collagen fiber structure using second harmonic generation imaging and two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform analysis: Application to the human optic nerve head
摘要： Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy is widely used to image collagen fiber microarchitecture due to its high spatial resolution, optical sectioning capabilities and relatively non-destructive sample preparation. Quantification of SHG images requires sensitive methods to capture fiber alignment. This paper presents a 2D Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) based method for collagen fiber structure analysis from SHG images. The method includes integrated Periodicity Plus Smooth Image Decomposition (PPSID) for correction of DFT edge discontinuity artefact, avoiding the loss of peripheral image data encountered with more commonly used windowing methods. Outputted parameters are: the collagen fiber orientation distribution, aligned collagen content and the degree of collagen fiber dispersion along the principal orientation. We demonstrate its application to determine collagen microstructure in the human optic nerve head, showing its capability to accurately capture characteristic structural features including radial fiber alignment in the innermost layers of the bounding sclera and a circumferential collagen ring in the mid-stromal tissue. Higher spatial resolution rendering of individual lamina cribrosa beams within the nerve head is also demonstrated. Validation of the method is provided in the form of correlative results from wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and application of the presented method to other fibrous tissues.

On the efficient optimization of unicast, anycast and multicast flows in survivable elastic optical networks
摘要： The paper investigates efficient allocation of three types of flows (unicast, anycast, multicast) in elastic optical network with dedicated path protection. We model the problem as an integer linear programming and propose efficient solution methods: greedy randomized algorithm (GRA) and column generation (CG)-based approach implemented in two versions, which differ in the method used to find a final problem solution for the selected columns. Then, we evaluate in detail methods efficiency with respect to four reference algorithms. What is more, for CG-based methods we use five different algorithms to find initial sets of columns and, by these means, evaluate how the quality of these methods influences the efficiency of CG-based approaches. The simulation results show that the proposed GRA significantly outperforms reference greedy methods and finds very good solutions (the average gap to optimal result was not higher than 13.4%). The CG-based methods allow to further improve results and obtain solutions very close to optimal ones (for the best CG-based version, the highest average gap to optimal result was 2.1%). Moreover, the results show that the traffic pattern influences the algorithms performance. The methods perform the best for scenarios with high amount of multicast volume while high anycast volume brings the most difficult problem instances. Eventually, the study reveals that the efficiency of CG-based methods depends strongly on the quality of initial columns as well as on the method used to find final solution for the selected columns.

Efficient Conversion of CO <sub/>2</sub> to Methane Photocatalyzed by Conductive Black Titania
摘要： One of the major challenges encountered in CO2 utilization is the development of available and cost-efficient catalysts with sufficient activity, selectivity, and stability for the generation of useful methane. Here, conductive black titania, TiO2@x, is found to be efficient in photocatalyzing the reduction of CO2 to CH4. This unique material comprises a crystalline core–amorphous shell structure (TiO2@TiO2@x) with numerous surface oxygen vacancies, which facilitates the adsorption and chemical activation of CO2 molecules. Under full solar irradiation, the optimized 500-TiO2@x material with narrowed band gap and intermediate states below the conduction band tail exhibits a high space-time yield of CH4 of 14.3 mmol g@1 h@1, with 74 % selectivity and excellent photostability. The present findings can make a significant contribution, not only to develop the surface electron-modified black TiO2 catalyst to boost photocatalytic efficiency, but also to establish a really viable and convenient CH4 production process for CO2 conversion and renewable solar energy storage.

Electronic Structure and Room Temperature Ferromagnetism in Gd-doped Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles for Hydrogen Generation via Photocatalytic Water Splitting
摘要： Enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of Gd-doped CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) is experimentally demonstrated, whereas there are very few reports on this mechanism with rare earth doping. All-pure and Gd-doped CeO2 NPs are synthesized using a coprecipitation method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), absorption spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The effect of Gd-doping on properties of CeO2 is discussed along with defects and oxygen vacancies generation. The XRD confirms the incorporation of Gd3+ at the Ce3+/Ce4+ site by keeping the crystal structure same. The average particle size from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images is in the range of 5–7 nm. The XPS spectra of Ce 3d, O 1s, and Gd 4d exhibits the formation of oxygen vacancies to maintain the charge neutrality when Ce4+ changes to Ce3+. The gradual increase in hydrogen production is observed with increasing Gd concentration. The observed results are in good correlation with the characterization results and a mechanism of water splitting is proposed on the basis of analyses. The absorption spectra reveal optical band gap (2.5–2.7 eV) of samples, showing band gap narrowing leads to desired optical absorbance and photoactivity of NPs.

Ultraviolet light-related DNA damage mutation signature distinguishes cutaneous from mucosal or other origin for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary site
摘要： Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary site (HNSCCUP) is a diagnostic challenge. Identification of an ultraviolet (UV) light-related DNA damage signature using next-generation sequencing (NGS) can classify the primary site of origin as cutaneous. Methods: A 62-year-old male was seen with 2 months of left neck swelling. He was a lifetime nonsmoker but had a history of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the left helix. He was also found to have left hilar adenopathy. He had a p16-negative HNSCCUP on fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the left neck. Results: NGS of the FNA specimen revealed a high number of somatic mutations that were mostly C to T transitions, indicating a UV mutation signature and confirming the diagnosis of cutaneous SCC. Conclusions: Identification of a UV DNA damage signature with NGS distinguishes HNSCCUP of cutaneous vs mucosal or other squamous cell carcinoma origin.

Slide-free imaging of hematoxylin-eosin stained whole-mount tissues using combined third-harmonic generation and three-photon fluorescence microscopy
摘要： Intraoperative margin assessment of surgical tissues during cancer surgery is clinically important, especially in the case of tissue conserving surgery like Mohs micrographic surgery in which minimization of the surgical area is considered crucial. Frozen pathology is the gold standard of assessing excised tissues for signs of remaining cancerous lesions. The current protocol, however, is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Instead of the complex frozen sectioning, staining, and traditional white light microscopy imaging protocol, optically-sectioned histopathological imaging of hematoxylin-eosin stained whole-mount skin tissues with a sub-femtoliter resolution is demonstrated by using nonlinear microscopy in this study. With our proposed method, the reagents of staining and the contrast of imaging are fully consistent with the current clinical standard of frozen pathology, thus facilitating rapid intraoperative assessment of surgical tissues for future applications.

Fast-Growing Field of Interfacial Solar Steam Generation: Evolutional Materials, Engineered Architectures, and Synergistic Applications
摘要： The lack of fresh water resources is attracting concern worldwide. Recently, to address this global issue, researchers proposed the heat localization concept for interfacial solar seawater desalination in 2014. Since then, interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) devices have attracted much attention, due to their potential for achieving highly enhanced optical-thermal conversion through a single interface as compared with traditional solar seawater desalination. To date, the promising prospect of ISSG systems in seawater desalination has stimulated the rapid development of solar desalination technology based on heat localization. To comprehensively recognize ISSG devices and acquire more insights into their design associated with biological relevance, efficiency improvement, and applications, this review summarizes the progresses and prospects of ISSG devices in relation to the evolution of advanced materials, the engineering architecture, the collaborative application, and the current challenges.

ROS dependent antitumour activity of photo-activated iron(III) complexes of amino acids
摘要： Several amino acid-based photo-active monomeric iron(III) complexes of the general formula, [Fe(L)2]?, where L = Schiff base ligands (salisalidene arginine, salicylidenetryptophan, 3,5-di-tert-butyl benzalidine arginine and salicylidene tryptophan) were synthesized, characterized and explored for photo-activated anticancer activity to Chang Liver Cells, HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Complexes exhibited remarkable photo-cytotoxicity with IC50 value to the extent of 0.7 μM to Chang Liver Cells in visible light and there was a 40-fold enhancement in cytotoxicity in comparison to the cytotoxicity in dark. Complexes were non-toxic to MCF-10A (normal cells) in dark and visible light (IC50 > 100 μM in dark; IC50 > 80 μM in visible light) signifying target-speci?c nature of the anti-tumour activity of the complexes. Increased ROS concentration, as probed by DCFDA assay, in the cancer cells was responsible for apoptotic cell death. Decarboxylation or phenolate-Fe(III) charge transfer of photo-activated iron(III) complexes generating ?OH radicals (ROS) were responsible for the apoptosis. Overall, the tumour-selective photo-activated anticancer activity of the amino acid-based iron(III) complexes have shown a promising aspect in developing iron-based photo-chemotherapeutics as the next generation PDT agents.

Highly efficient solar steam generation via mass-produced carbon nanosheet frameworks
摘要： Carbon nanosheet frameworks are synthesized on the gram scale by exploiting the reaction between Mg powder and CS2 vapor. This fluffy carbon nanomaterial coated on fabric shows high performance in solar steam generation. The carbon film has high optical absorption of ~98% in visible and infrared spectrum. When under 1 sun solar-simulated light irradiance (1000 W m-2), the surface temperatures of dry and water-saturated carbon films reach 104 and 45 oC, respectively, indicating good heat localization. As a result, the carbon film under 1 sun illumination shows a high solar-to-vapor efficiency of 93%, which is higher than that of most photothermal conversion materials reported previously. The as-prepared carbon material may pave the way for harvesting solar energy to produce clean water at low cost.
