The production of tin oxide ($SnO_2$) microrods on iridium (Ir)-coated substrates was achieved through the thermal evaporation of Sn powders in which a sufficiently high $O_2$ partial pressure was employed. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the product consisted of microrods with diameters that ranged from 0.9 to $40\;{\mu}m$. X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction indicated that the microrods were $SnO_2$ with a rutile structure. As the microrod tips were free of metal particles, it was determined that the growth of $SnO_2$ microrods via the present route was dominated by a vapor-solid mechanism. The thickening of rod-like structures was related to the utilization of sufficiently high $O_2$ partial pressure during the synthesis process, whereas low $O_2$ partial pressure facilitated the production of thin rods.

Thin films of vanadium oxide(VO$\_$x/) have been deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering from V$_2$O$\_$5/ target in gas mixture of argon and oxygen. The oxygen/(oxygen+argon) partial pressure ratio is changed from 0% to 8%. Crystal structure, chemical composition, bonding, optical and electrical properties of films sputter-deposited under different oxygen gas pressures are characterized through XPS, AES, RBS, FTIR, optical absorption and electrical conductivity measurements. V$_2$O$\_$5/ and lower oxides co-exist in sputter-deposited films and as the oxygen partial pressure is increased the films become more stoichiometric V$_2$O$\_$5/. The increase of O/V ratio with increasing oxygen gas pressure is attributed to the partial filling of oxygen vacancies through diffusion. It is observed that the oxygen atoms located on the V-O plane of V$_2$O$\_$5/ layer participate more readily in the oxidation process. With increasing oxygen gas pressure indirect and direct optical band gaps are increased, but thermal activation energies are decreased.

A growing number of gas-insulated transformers in underground power substations in urban areas are approaching 20 years of operation, the time when failures begin to occur. It is thus essential to prevent failure through accurate condition diagnosis of the given facility. Various solid insulation materials exist inside of the transformers, and the generated decomposition gas may differ for each gas-insulated equipment. In this study, a simulation system was designed to analyze the deterioration characteristics of SF₆ decomposition gas and insulation materials under the conditions of partial discharge and thermal fault for diagnosis of gas-insulated transformers. Degradation characteristics of the insulation materials was determined using an automatic viscometer and FT-IR. The analysis results showed that the pattern of decomposition gas generation under partial discharge and thermal fault was different. In particular, acetaldehyde was detected under a thermal fault in all types of insulation, but not under partial discharge or an arc condition. In addition, in the case of insulation materials, deterioration of the insulation itself rapidly progressed as the experimental temperature increased. It was confirmed that it was possible to diagnose the internal discharge or thermal fault occurrence of the transformer through the ratio and type of decomposition gas generated in the gas-insulated transformer.

To determine whether Fourier transform (FT)-IR spectral analysis combined with multivariate analysis of whole-cell extracts from ginseng leaves can be applied as a high-throughput discrimination system of cultivation ages and cultivars, a total of total 480 leaf samples belonging to 12 categories corresponding to four different cultivars (Yunpung, Kumpung, Chunpung, and an open-pollinated variety) and three different cultivation ages (1 yr, 2 yr, and 3 yr) were subjected to FT-IR. The spectral data were analyzed by principal component analysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis. A dendrogram based on hierarchical clustering analysis of the FT-IR spectral data on ginseng leaves showed that leaf samples were initially segregated into three groups in a cultivation age-dependent manner. Then, within the same cultivation age group, leaf samples were clustered into four subgroups in a cultivar-dependent manner. The overall prediction accuracy for discrimination of cultivars and cultivation ages was 94.8% in a cross-validation test. These results clearly show that the FT-IR spectra combined with multivariate analysis from ginseng leaves can be applied as an alternative tool for discriminating of ginseng cultivars and cultivation ages. Therefore, we suggest that this result could be used as a rapid and reliable F1 hybrid seed-screening tool for accelerating the conventional breeding of ginseng.

Terpenoids, also referred to as terpenes, are a large family of naturally occurring chemical compounds present in the essential oils extracted from medicinal plants. In this study, a nondestructive methodology was created by combining ATR-FT-IR (attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared), and Raman spectroscopy for the terpenoids assessment in medicinal plants essential oils from ten different geographical locations. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector regression (SVR) were used as machine learning methodologies. However, a deep learning based model called as one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) were also developed for models comparison. With a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.999 and a lowest RMSEP (root mean squared error of prediction) of 0.006% for the prediction datasets, the SVR model created for FT-IR spectral data outperformed both the PLSR and 1 D CNN models. On the other hand, for the classification of essential oils derived from plants collected from various geographical regions, the created SVM (support vector machine) classification model for Raman spectroscopic data obtained an overall classification accuracy of 0.997% which was superior than the FT-IR (0.986%) data. Based on the results we propose that FT-IR spectroscopy, when coupled with the SVR model, has a significant potential for the non-destructive identification of terpenoids in essential oils compared with destructive chemical analysis methods.

Molecular structures of the various conformers of para-bromocalix[4]aryl derivatives 1-4 were optimized using the DFT B3LYP calculation method. The total electronic and Gibbs free energies and normal vibrational frequencies of the different structures (CONE, partial cone (PACO), 1,2-Alternate(1,2-A) and 1,3-Alternate(1,3-A)) were calculated from the four kinds of para-bromocalix[4]aryl derivatives. The B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations suggested the following: 1(PACO) is the most stable among four conformers of 1; 2(CONE) is the most stable among five conformers of 2; 3(PACO) is the most stable among four conformers of 3; 4(1,3-A) is the most stable among four conformers of 4. All the most stable structures optimized by the B3LYP calculation method were in accordance with the experimental crystal structures of 1-4. The calculated IR spectra of the various conformers (CONE, PACO, 1,2-A and 1,3-A) of 1-4 were compared.

Traditional regenerating codes are designed to tolerate node failures with optimal bandwidth overhead. However, there are many types of partial failures inside the node, such as latent sector failures. Recently, proposed regenerating codes can also repair intra-node failures with node-level redundancy but incur significant bandwidth and I/O overhead. In this paper, we construct a new scheme of regenerating codes, called IR-RBT codes, which employs intra-node redundancy to tolerate intra-node failures and serve as the help data for other nodes during the repair operation. We propose 2 algorithms for assigning the intra-node redundancy and RBT-Helpers according to the failure probability of each node, which can flexibly adjust the helping relationship between nodes to address changes in the actual situation. We demonstrate that the IR-RBT codes improve the bandwidth and I/O efficiency during intra-node failure repair over traditional regenerating codes but sacrifice the storage efficiency.

This study was undertaken to evaluate whether peroxisome proliferator-activated-receptor-gamma $(PPAR-{\gamma})$ agonist-rosiglitazone (ROSI) induces postischemic functional recovery in Langendorf heart model. Hearts isolated from normal rats were subjected to 20 min of normoxia or 25 min zero-flow ischemia followed by 50 min reperfusion. In this acute protocol, ROSI $(20\;{\mu}g/ml)$ administered 10 min before ischemia had no effect on hemodynamic cardiac function, but had protective effect on lipid peroxidation in in vitro experiments. In chronic protocol in which ROSI was given by daily gavage (4 mg/kg) for three consecutive days, ROSI could not prevent the hemodynamic alteration on cardiac performance, but has protective effect on the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). There was no significant difference in the contents of reduced glutathione (GSH) and catalase activity between ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and ROSI treated IR hearts. Although ROSI had no effect on hemodynamic factor, it had effect on antioxidant activity. Our results indicate that ROSI provides partial beneficial effects by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and/or recovering normal level of SOD activity in the ischemic reperfused heart.

Twin Auxiliary Electrodes were applied to the counter sustain electrode structure plasma display panels for the improvement of luminous efficiency. In advanced, we investigated the spatiotemporal behaviors of excited $Xe^{\ast\ast}(2p)$ atoms in that structure unit cell with various applied voltage conditions for the auxiliary electrodes. The near-IR emissions were observed by an ICCD camera combined with narrow band pass filter. As a partial result, the intensity of IR emissions and the response time were improved with the proposed twin auxiliary electrodes.

In this paper, the performance of ultra-wideband (UWB) single input multiple output (SIMO) systems to achieve high data rate communications is studied in dense multipath environments. The effects of spatial and temporal diversities on the performance of multi-user time-hopping UWB systems using binary pulse position modulation (2PPM) are analyzed. The reduced-complexity Rake receivers based on the selective combining (called SRake) and partial combining (called PRake) are considered. The theoretical and simulation results show that the BER performance of the UWB system can be enhanced as the number of array elements and/or Rake fingers increases. Moreover, we observe that SRake is more effective for the IR-UWB systems to achieve a good BER performance, as compared with PRake.
