Modified electrode voltammetric sensors for trace metals in environmental samples

Nafion-modified mercury thin film electrodes have been investigated for the analysis of trace metals in environmental samples of waters and effluent by batch injection analysis with square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The method, invo...

Multi-Set Space-Time Shift-Keying With Reduced Detection Complexity

In this paper, we propose a novel multi-set space-time shift keying (MS-STSK) technique, where the source bits are conveyed over two components, namely, by activating one out of MQ dispersion matrices of STSK and M antenna combination of th...

High-speed nonlinear focus-induced photoresponse in amorphous silicon photodetectors for ultrasensitive 3D imaging applications

Abstract A large and growing number of applications benefit from simple, fast and highly sensitive 3D imaging sensors. The Focus-Induced Photoresponse (FIP) can achieve 3D sensing functionalities by simply evaluating the irradiance dependen...

Investigating the timelike Compton scattering in photon–proton interactions at the EIC

Abstract Information about the three-dimensional description of the quark and gluon content of hadrons, described by the generalized parton distributions (GPDs), can be probed by exclusive processes in electron–proton (ep) collisions. In th...

High-Energy Neutrino Astrophysics

▪ Abstract High-energy (>100 MeV) neutrino astrophysics enters an era of opportunity and discovery as the sensitivity of detectors approaches astrophysically relevant flux levels. We review the major challenges for this emerging field, amon...

An improved Harris corner detection method for honeycomb structures

Structural defects and cell irregularity significantly impact the performance and safety of honeycomb structures. Thus, various image processing techniques have been employed to evaluate the cell shape and detect structural defects within t...

Analysis of methods for accounting cargo vehicles in traffic flow of a regulated crossroad

Introduction. The formation of a ‘cargo frame’ around large cities leads to a change in the composition of the traffic flow on bypass roads, and an increase in the total traffic flow of trucks of various categories. In addition, the active ...

Exploring the Relative Importance and Interactive Impacts of Explanatory Variables of the Built Environment on Ride-Hailing Ridership by Using the Optimal Parameter-Based Geographical Detector (OPGD) Model

The impact of the built environment on the ridership of ride-hailing results depends on the spatial grid scale. The existing research on the demand model of ride-hailing ignores the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP). Taking Chengdu as an...

Overcoming the sensitivity–speed trade-off in two-dimensional photodetectors via a functional oxide interlayer

Abstract Photodetectors that can achieve both high sensitivity and fast speed remain a challenge due to inherent trade-offs, particularly limiting in photonic integrated circuits. While substantial progress has been made in broadening spect...

High‐performance optical noncontact controlling system based on broadband PtTex/Si heterojunction photodetectors for human–machine interaction

Abstract Noncontact interaction systems have attracted considerable research attention in recent years because of convenient operation, sterility, and injury prevention. However, the insufficient sensing distance and weak robustness of nonc...
