Iodinated pores of a Zn-based coordination network were modified by Br2 oxidation to produce brominated pores in a polycrystalline-to-polycrystalline manner while maintaining the same network topology. Ab initio X-ray powder diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the brominated pore can trap Br2 or I2 by strong σ/π-type interactions. A kinetic study in solution revealed that ...

This paper presents an adaptive differentiator of sequential data based on the adaptive control theory. The algorithm is applied to detect moving objects by estimating a temporal gradient of sequential data at a specified pixel. We adopt two nonlinear intensity functions to reduce the influence of noises. The derivatives of the nonlinear intensity functions are estimated by an adaptive observer...

In this Note, we consider traveling waves in a reaction-diffusion equation dimension one. Motivated by the motion of dislocations crystals, introduce an additive parameter σ reaction term, which may be interpreted as exterior force applied on crystal. Under certain natural assumptions and for every value σ∈[σ - ,σ + ], show existence ϕ velocity c. The range σ∈(σ ) corresponds to bistable cases ...

This paper presents a neuroadaptive full-state feedback controller design for the Boeing unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), and a neuroadaptive output feedback controller design for a damped van der Pol oscillator model. The proposed neuroadaptive controllers employ a novel controller architecture involving additional terms in the update laws that are constructed using a moving window of th...

In this article, semi-ring and semi-algebra of sets are formalized so as to construct a measure of a given set in the next step. Although a semi-ring of sets has already been formalized in [12], that is, strictly speaking, a definition of a quasi semi-ring of sets suggested in the last few decades [14]. We adopt a classical definition of a semi-ring of sets here to avoid such a confusion. Ring ...

We prove several dichotomy theorems which extend some known results on σ -bounded and σ -compactpointsets. In particular we show that, given a finite number of Δ1 equivalence relations F1 , . . . , Fn , any Σ1 set A of the Baire space either is covered by compact Δ1 sets and lightface Δ1 equivalence classes of the relations Fi , or A contains a superperfect subset which is pairwise Fi -inequiva...

Chemical imaging, thickness mapping, layer speciation and polarization dependence have been performed on single and multilayered (up to three layers and trilayered nanosheets overlapping to form 6 and 9 layers) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanosheets by scanning transmission X-ray microscopy. Spatially-resolved XANES directly from freestanding regions of different layers has been extracted and...

We propose a pivotal method for estimating high-dimensional sparse linear regression models, where the overall number of regressors p is large, possibly much larger than n, but only s regressors are significant. The method is a modification of the lasso, called the square-root lasso. The method is pivotal in that it neither relies on the knowledge of the standard deviation σ or nor does it need...

The essentially Σ1 formulae of ΣL are exactly those which are provably equivalent to a disjunction of conjunctions of 2 and Σ1 formulae.
