Highly sensitive dual mode dual side cross polarization converter based biosensor

—This paper investigates a dual-side, dual-mode reflective cross-polarization converter for biosensing applications. The converter consists of a polyimide substrate with a modified dumbbell-shaped resonator on one surface and its complementary slot on another. The overall volume is 8.25μm × 8.25μm × 2.47 μm with dual-band operation of 6.39268–7.311692 THz and 9.783001–23.53473 THz for PCR≥80 % for front signal incidence and two full widths at half maximum (FWHM) bands i.e. 11.71594–12.26761 THz & 19.12042–19.87691 THz for back signal incidence. The periodicity is ∼λo/6, and substrate thickness is ∼λo/19 at 6.39268 THz. This device has performance stability for incident angle (θ)≤30o. The performance of this device can be tuned from dual-band operation to single-band by varying the chemical potential of the graphene strip for signal incidence from both sides. This device can classify cancer or tuberculosis-infected cells concerning healthy cells by using the variations in their corresponding refractive indices that lead to changes in the band edge frequencies. This device can differentiate between infected and healthy cells or different refractive indices with a high sensitivity of ∼5 THz/RIU. This device has merits of dual side sensing, wide operating bandwidth, multiple frequencies for sensing purposes, and high sensitivity over previously reported sensors.

Analysis of converter transformer pressboard insulation degradation under surge using mathematical morphology

Nowadays, with the significant expansion of industrial growth, the bulk power requirement can only be satisfied through high-voltage direct current HVDC transmission. The converter transformer is the utmost vital part of the HVDC transmission. Pressboard insulation is most commonly used as inter-disc insulation in converter transformers. During working conditions due to elevated temperature and different operational stresses, insulation material gets deteriorated. It may cause a risk to the life of the converter transformer. The effects of elevated temperatures as well as frequency on pressboard insulation of the converter transformer are examined in this study. The condition evaluation and morphological changes in pressboard insulation at elevated temperatures can evaluate with the help of frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The impact of elevated temperatures on insulation material can be analyzed based on surface roughness and dielectric parameters. In MATLAB Simulink environment, a dual winding single-phase converter transformers valve side star winding 60 discs model is constructed for impulse test. Based upon arrival time and velocity of traveling wave, insulation degradation location can be identified by using mathematical morphology. The simulation results demonstrate that the suggested method can notably located degradation across disc winding.

Mixed boundary conditions and double-trace like deformations in Celestial holography and Wedge-like holography

According to the AdS/CFT dictionary, adding a relevant double-trace deformation f ∫ O2 to a holographic CFT action is dual to imposing mixed Neumann/Dirichlet boundary conditions for the field dual to O in AdS. We observed similar behaviour in codimension-two flat space holographies. We consider deformations of boundary conditions in flat spacetimes under flat space codimension-two holographies, Celestial holography and Wedge-like holography. In the former Celestial-holographic approach, we imposed boundary conditions on initial and final bulk states in the scattering. We find that these non-trivial boundary conditions in the bulk induce “double deformations” on the Celestial CFT side, which can be understood as an analogy of double trace deformations in the usual AdS/CFT. We compute two-point bulk scattering amplitudes under the non-trivial deformed boundary conditions. In the latter Wedge-like holography approach, we consider mixed Neumann/Dirichlet boundary conditions on the null infinity of the light-cone. We find that this mixing induces a renormalization flow in the dual Wedge CFT side under the Wedge holography, as in the usual AdS/CFT. We argue that the discrepancy between the Wedge two-point function and the Celestial two-point function originates from a sensitivity of bulk massless fields to a regularization parameter to use the usual AdS/CFT techniques.

Cascaded vernier effect optic fiber temperature sensor with DSHF-Based MZI and FPI

This paper introduces a optical fiber temperature sensor based on vernier effect. The sensor's design consists of two integrated interferometric structures: the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI). Both interferometric structures exhibit symmetry, but they employ different types of optical fibers. Specifically, the MZI employs dual side hole fiber (DSHF), while the FPI is constructed using hollow-core optical fibers.Given the MZI's superior sensitivity to temperature changes compared to the FPI, it is chosen as the sensing arm. The paper conducts theoretical research and experimental validation of the optical fiber sensor's sensing principles. The findings reveal a sensor sensitivity of −305.42 pm/°C when measuring temperatures within the 32–50 °C range. Stability testing, repeatability testing, and response time testing are carried out using a constant temperature chamber and a water bath, affirming the sensor's excellent repeatability and stability, along with a response time faster than that of conventional thermometers.

UV and IR effects in axion quality control

Motivated by recent discussions and the absence of exact global symmetries in UV completions of gravity we re-examine the axion quality problem (and naturalness issues more generally) using antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond (KR) fields rather than their pseudoscalar duals, as suggested by string and higher dimensional theories. Two types of axions can be identified: a model independent S-type axion dual to a two form Bμν in 4D and a T-type axion coming directly as 4D scalar Kaluza-Klein (KK) components of higher-dimensional tensor fields. For T-type axions our conclusions largely agree with earlier workers for the axion quality problem, but we also reconcile why T-type axions can couple to matter localized on 3-branes with Planck suppressed strength even when the axion decay constants are of order the KK scale. For S-type axions, we review the duality between form fields and massive scalars and show how duality impacts naturalness arguments about the UV sensitivity of the scalar potential. In particular UV contributions on the KR side suppress contributions on the scalar side by powers of m/M with m the axion mass and M the UV scale. We re-examine how the axion quality problem is formulated on the dual side and compare to recent treatments. We study how axion quality is affected by the ubiquity of p-form gauge potentials (for both p = 2 and p = 3) in string vacua and identify two criteria that can potentially lead to a problem. We also show why most fields do not satisfy these criteria, but when they do the existence of multiple fields also provides mechanisms for resolving it. We conclude that the quality problem is easily evaded.

Charged AdS black holes in presence of string cloud and Cardy-Verlinde formula

In this study, charged AdS black holes with a string cloud are taken into consideration. We identify three distinct black hole solutions within a specific temperature range, which subsequently merge into a single black hole beyond this range in the case of spherical space with low chemical potential and string density. However, in the case of large chemical potential and string density, only one black hole solution exists for all temperatures. Notably, we observe that for flat and hyperbolic space, there is only one black hole solution irrespective of the chemical potential and string density. By subtracting the contribution of the extremal black hole from the on-shell Euclidean action, the thermodynamical quantities associated with these black holes are calculated. We also investigate the stability of these black holes and find that medium-sized black hole is unstable. In the dual boundary theory side we verify the existence of bound state of quark-antiquark pair. Finally, we establish the Cardy-Verlinde formula for the boundary theory and we observed an additional energy term arising because of the presence of string cloud.

Numerical study of the melting rate enhancement of nano phase change material in a modified shell and tube heat exchanger

The current investigation employs numerical analysis using ANSYS Fluent software to explore the melting behaviour of phase change material (PCM) and nano-PCM in a semi-circular shell and tube heat exchanger, utilizing dual side heating for enhanced conduction and convection rates of heat transfer. The study incorporates aluminium oxide nanoparticles at volume concentrations of 2 %, 4 % and 6 % within paraffin wax and assessing their impact on melting and thermal energy storage rates. Notably, the 2 % nanoparticle volume concentration exhibits an enhanced storage rate as compared to higher concentrations. The increase in nanoparticle concentration from 0 % to 2 %, 2 % to 4 % and 4 % to 6 % results in percentage reduction in melting time of 21 %, 3.51 % and 2.8 % respectively. Semi-circular configuration shows significant improvement in the energy storage rate as compared to the circular triplex tube configuration. The maximum energy storage rate of PCM for the semi-circular and circular configurations is 1.15 kW and 1.04 kW respectively, marking a 9.56 % increase over the circular configuration. Moreover, the semi-circular and circular configurations using nano-PCM achieve a maximum energy storage rate of 1.19 kW and 1.14 kW, representing a 4.20 % increase over the circular configuration.

Durable poly(binaphthyl-co-p-terphenyl piperidinium)-based anion exchange membranes with dual side chains

Building well-developed ion-conductive highways is highly desirable for anion exchange membranes (AEMs). Grafting side chain is a highly effective approach for constructing a well-defined phase-separated morphological structure and forming unblocked ion pathways in AEMs for fast ion transport. Fluorination of side chains can further enhance phase separation due to the superhydrophobic nature of fluorine groups. However, their electronic effect on the alkaline stability of side chains and membranes is rarely reported. Here, fluorine-containing and fluorine-free side chains are introduced into the polyaromatic backbone in proper configuration to investigate the impact of the fluorine terminal group on the stability of the side chains and membrane properties. The poly(binaphthyl-co-p-terphenyl piperidinium) AEM (QBNpTP) has the highest molecular weight and most dimensional stability due to its favorable backbone arrangement among ortho- and meta-terphenyl based AEMs. Importantly, by introducing both a fluorinated piperidinium side chain and a hexane chain into the p-terphenyl-based backbone, the prepared AEM (QBNpTP-QFC) presents an enhanced conductivity (150.6 mS cm−1) and a constrained swelling at 80 °C. The electronic effect of fluorinated side chains is contemplated by experiments and simulations. The results demonstrate that the presence of strong electro-withdrawing fluorine groups weakens the electronic cloud of adjacent C atoms, increasing OH− attack on the C atom and improving the stability of piperidinium cations. Hence QBNpTP-QFC possesses a robust alkaline stability at 80 °C (95.3% conductivity retention after testing in 2 M NaOH for 2160 h). An excellent peak power density of 1.44 W cm−2 and a remarkable durability at 80 °C (4.5% voltage loss after 100 h) can be observed.

Design and analysis of multiple input single output converter for hybrid renewable energy system with energy storage capability

This paper proposes the design and analysis of a multiple-input-single-output (MISO) DC-DC converter suitable for a hybrid renewable energy system with energy storage capability. The converter design and control strategy validated in this research can be used to regulate the output dc voltage obtained from multiple-source renewable energy systems. The design is realized using a non-isolated double boost converter as it can handle bidirectional power flow at the storage port and has other advantages like compact structure, reduced number of components, and double boosting capability. The converter can also work without transformers, enabling the input renewable energy sources to operate individually. An inverted decoupler control strategy is adopted in the design of this novel converter. Mathematical models were developed to obtain the decoupler matrix, and the proposed control strategy is utilized to analyze the output. Simulations were performed on MISO converters with load and reference variations and is validated with the prototype. The current ripple percentage at the dual source side is found to be reduced by 2.6%. Also, the rise time, settling time, and percent overshoot of the output voltage were reduced by 0.03 s, 45 ms, and 3.6%, respectively. The performance of the proposed MISO converter is validated on a 50 W hardware prototype. The results validate the MISO converter's superior dynamic performance, output voltage regulation and reduced dual source ripple current, all of which are in agreement to the results of the simulation. A comprehensive comparison with the traditional controller is also conducted to further illustrate the advantages of the proposed inverted decoupler. The inverted decoupler validated in this work can be effectively used in hybrid renewable energy systems with energy storage capability, as it is found to be immune to the disturbances from the source end.

Risk field assessment of longwall working face by the double-sided roof cutting along the gob

In order to study the mechanism of the dual side roof cutting technology on the composite disaster of gas and coal spontaneous combustion in goaf, a model for the evolution of porosity and permeability in the dual side roof cutting working face was constructed. The location of the occurrence of the compound disaster of gas explosion and coal spontaneous combustion under the double-sided roof cutting mode was studied, and the sensitivity of the evolution pattern of the compound disaster area to the amount of air supply and gas gush was summarized. The results indicate that the top cutting pressure relief technology significantly reduces the permeability of porous media, and the sensitivity of the goaf on the intake side to airflow disturbances is significantly reduced. As the volume of air supply increases, the distance between the gas explosion risk area and the coal spontaneous combustion risk area gradually decreases, and the probability of composite disaster areas is 0. The increase of air supply and gas emission makes the gas concentration in the middle and deep goaf increase in an exponential function, and the width of the gas explosion risk area increases gradually. When the outflow reaches 40 ​m3/min, there is no composite disaster zone, indicating that the rapid increase in outflow inhibits the occurrence of composite disasters.

Transformer With Double Enhancement for Low-Dose CT Denoising.

Increasingly serious health problems have made the usage of computed tomography surge. Therefore, algorithms for processing CT images are becoming more and more abundant. These algorithms can lessen the harm of cumulative radiation in CT technology for the patient while eliminating the noise of image caused by dose reduction. However, the mainstream CNN-based algorithms are inefficient when dealing with features in broad regions. Inspired by the large receptive field of transformer framework, this paper designs an end-to-end low-dose CT (LDCT) denoising network based on the transformer. The overall framework of network contains a main branch and dual side branches. Specifically, the overlapping-free window-based self-attention transformer block is adopted on the main branch to realize image denoising. On the dual side branches, we propose double enhancement module to enrich edge, texture, and context information of LDCT images. Meanwhile, the receptive field of network is further enlarged after processing, which is helpful for building model's long-range dependencies. The outputs of the side branches are concatenated to the middle layer of the network for enhancing information and generating high-quality CT images. In addition, to better train the network and achieve the expected results, we introduce a compound loss function including mean squared error (MSE), multi-scale perceptual (MSP), and Sobel-L1 (SL) to make the denoised image closer to the targeted norm-dose CT (NDCT) image. Lastly, we conducted experiments on two clinical datasets including abdomen, head, and chest LDCT images with 25%, 25%, and 10% of the full dose, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed DEformer achieved better denoising performance than the existing algorithms.

Synthesis and applications of a Y‐inimer with two orthogonal controlled free radical polymerization initiators

AbstractWe report the synthesis of a Y‐shaped inimer that contains two orthogonal initiators for ATRP and NMP. The inimer is synthesized through a one‐pot multi‐component reaction that vastly simplifies the typically cumbersome synthesis of similar compounds. The Y‐inimer has the versatility to be homopolymerized into a backbone for A/B Janus bottlebrush synthesis or copolymerized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and cross‐linked into an ultra‐thin coating for mixed A/B brush growth from planar surfaces. Importantly, the Y‐shaped nature of the inimer ensures growth of A and B brushes are consistently in a 1:1 ratio. We demonstrate the application of the Y‐inimer in the synthesis of a PMMA/PS Janus bottlebrush as well as two different mixed A/B polymer brushes, one with the ability to microphase separate, and a second mixed polyelectrolyte brush with opposite charges. The inimer is compatible with various A/B monomer systems and offers a universal approach to the “grafting‐from” polymerization of dual vinyl polymer side chains. This study provides a unique way of utilizing multi‐component reactions in polymer chemistry to access complex functional architectures.

Anisotropic Scaling Non-Relativistic Holography: A Symmetry Perspective

We study the holographic dual of the two-dimensional non-relativistic field theory with anisotropic scaling from a symmetry perspective. We construct a new four-dimensional metric with two-dimensional global anisotropic scaling isometry. The four-dimensional spacetime is homogeneous and is a solution of Einstein gravity with quadratic-curvature extension. We consider this spacetime dual to the vacuum of the boundary field theory. By introducing a proper solution phase space, we find that the asymptotic symmetry of the gravity theory is the two-dimensional local anisotropic conformal symmetry, which recovers precisely the results from the dual non-relativistic field theory side.

Communicationless Phase Cooperative Control of Inductive Power Transfer Using Asymmetrical Modulations

Dual Side Control (DSC) of Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) generally requires communication between the system sides to coordinate the local controllers. For reduction of component count and operation in challenging environments such as underwater, communicationless DSC is beneficial. This article investigates if and how asymmetric modulations, known for their improved performance in IPT, can be applied to phase cooperative communicationless DSC. A per side separate steady-state model is derived and the selection criteria for modulation schemes to be suitable for phase cooperative control are determined. The crucial importance of bijective or unique phase behavior in modulations for this control scheme is identified and demonstrated. In comparison with phase modulation it is shown that Asymmetric Voltage Cancellation of full-bridges is not reliably applicable to phase cooperative DSC, but asymmetrical modulation of half-bridges is. Therefore, a phase cooperative half-bridge DSC system as a simplified low complexity DSC scheme is further investigated and the load step regulation boundary derived. Analysis is verified in experiment and simulation, demonstrating ZVS behavior, dynamic load step regulation, the impact of harmonics on magnetics losses for high coupling and the impact of variable voltage ratio.
