Huang, Zhipeng,Shimizu, Tomohiro,Senz, Stephan,Zhang,Zhang, Xuanxiong,Lee, Woo,Geyer, Nadine,Gö,sele, Ulrich American Chemical Society 2009 NANO LETTERS Vol.9 No.7

<P>The metal-assisted etching direction of Si(110) substrates was found to be dependent upon the morphology of the deposited metal catalyst. The etching direction of a Si(110) substrate was found to be one of the two crystallographically preferred 100 directions in the case of isolated metal particles or a small area metal mesh with nanoholes. In contrast, the etching proceeded in the vertical [110] direction, when the lateral size of the catalytic metal mesh was sufficiently large. Therefore, the direction of etching and the resulting nanostructures obtained by metal-assisted etching can be easily controlled by an appropriate choice of the morphology of the deposited metal catalyst. On the basis of this finding, a generic method was developed for the fabrication of wafer-scale vertically aligned arrays of epitaxial [110] Si nanowires on a Si(110) substrate. The method utilized a thin metal film with an extended array of pores as an etching catalyst based on an ultrathin porous anodic alumina mask, while a prepatterning of the substrate prior to the metal depostion is not necessary. The diameter of Si nanowires can be easily controlled by a combination of the pore diameter of the porous alumina film and varying the thickness of the deposited metal film.</P>

Zhipeng Ma,Maoli Yin,Mengshuang Zhang,Zhenming Qi,Xuehong Ren,Tung-Shi Huang 한국섬유공학회 2019 Fibers and polymers Vol.20 No.2

Antibacterial cotton fabrics were prepared with 3-allyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (ADMH) by UV photoinitiated thiol-ene click chemistry after 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTES) was introduced on the surface of cotton fabrics. The treated cotton fabrics were characterized by SEM, FT-IR and EDS. After chlorination with diluted sodium hypochlorite, the treated samples showed good antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7. About 106 of S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7 could be completely inactivated within 1 min and 5 min of contact, respectively. Compared to the control samples, the antibacterial treatment method used in this study only had a minor effect on the tensile strength of cotton fabrics. Besides, the treated cotton fabrics showed good storage stability and 77 % of the active chlorine remained after 30 days. After exposure to bleach solution, almost all of the active chlorine was restored. The prepared antimicrobial cotton fabrics showed good washing and UV light stability.

Experimental study on timing and pattern of gas injection in low permeability reservoir

Wei Huang,Shenglai Yang,Meng Chen,Zhipeng Qiu,Can Chen,Hao Chen 한국자원공학회 2014 Geosystem engineering Vol.17 No.3

Experiments were conducted to study the selection of development methods for low permeability reservoir exploitation after water drive, including the effects of different gas injection cycle times and different injection modes on oil displacement efficiency. Results showed that both gas injection cycle time and injection mode have significant effects on oil displacement efficiency. Based on the results of gas injection cycle time of the displacement with mode shifting to gas drive when water cut reaches 50% and 100%, it can be concluded that in the low permeability reservoir, which is exploited by water drive in the early time, the sooner the gas injection, the higher the oil displacement efficiency is. Because high water saturation can cause serious water-blocking effect, leading to a large amount of trapped oil and low displacement efficiency. Further, in view of the results of water drive, gas injection, and water alternating gas (WAG) flooding, it is obvious that WAG flooding is one of the best methods in enhanced oil recovery. Under the effect of gravity differentiation, WAG flooding can spread to the upper reservoir, which cannot be swept by water drive. Thus, the oil recovery factor can be improved effectively. However, it should be noted that gas injectivity should be considered in the field test.

Learning-based client selection for multiple federated learning services with constrained monetary budgets

Cheng Zhipeng,Fan Xuwei,Chen Ning,Liwang Minghui,Huang Lianfen,Wang Xianbin 한국통신학회 2023 ICT Express Vol.9 No.6

We investigate a data quality-aware dynamic client selection problem for multiple federated learning (FL) services in a wireless network, where each client offers dynamic datasets for the simultaneous training of multiple FL services, and each FL service demander has to pay for the clients under constrained monetary budgets. The problem is formalized as a non-cooperative Markov game over the training rounds. A multi-agent hybrid deep reinforcement learning-based algorithm is proposed to optimize the joint client selection and payment actions, while avoiding action conflicts. Simulation results indicate that our proposed algorithm can significantly improve training performance.

A Source Code Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability Detection Method

Mu Chen,Lu Chen,Zhipeng Shao,Zaojian Dai,Nige Li,Xingjie Huang,Qian Dang,Xinjian Zhao 한국인터넷정보학회 2023 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.17 No.6

To deal with the potential XSS vulnerabilities in the source code of the power communication network, an XSS vulnerability detection method combining the static analysis method with the dynamic testing method is proposed. The static analysis method aims to analyze the structure and content of the source code. We construct a set of feature expressions to match malignant content and set a "variable conversion" method to analyze the data flow of the code that implements interactive functions. The static analysis method explores the vulnerabilities existing in the source code structure and code content. Dynamic testing aims to simulate network attacks to reflect whether there are vulnerabilities in web pages. We construct many attack vectors and implemented the test in the Selenium tool. Due to the combination of the two analysis methods, XSS vulnerability discovery research could be conducted from two aspects: “white-box testing” and “black-box testing”. Tests show that this method can effectively detect XSS vulnerabilities in the source code of the power communication network.

Ningtao Wang,Tingting Shi,Ke Peng,Zhipeng Lian,Yiyong Li,Qing Wang,Wen Chen,Bolin Huang 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Scienc Vol.8 No.4

Fuzzy logic model and entropy model are useful for the geohazard susceptibility zonation in Jianshi County of Qingjiang River Basin. In this paper, the same impact factors were chosen and the geohazard samples were considered in two cases with quantitative analysis method. The first case 162 geohazards chosen as samples and the other one all of 182 geohazards chose as samples. The authors completed the susceptibility zonation in the two different cases using the two models in order to analysis the effects of the two models. The results of the two models in different cases were almost the same in space, except small differences in some areas. The entropy model was more accurate for the analysis of relationship between impact factors and geohazards, but not stable for different geohazard samples. The fuzzy logic model was better for less geohazard samples. According to the analysis process, it was found that the fuzzy γ operation was the best which was defined in terms of the fuzzy algebraic product and the fuzzy algebraic sum. The results of fuzzy logic model were most useful when γ was 0.20. The fuzzy logic model and entropy model were useful for the geohazard susceptibility which was scientific and useful for the government to manage the geohazards and make the preliminary development plans.

Chong Han,Qiang Li,Xiufeng Li,Zhipeng Zhang,Jianrong Huang 한국유전학회 2018 Genes & Genomics Vol.40 No.2

Sphaeroma terebrans, an economically and ecologically important marine wood-boring isopod, is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical mangroves. Nevertheless, available genomic and transcriptomic information for this isopod is extremely deficient. Here, we first performed the assembly of S. terebrans transcriptome by Illumina sequencing. A total of 51,092 high-quality unigenes with an average length of 641 bp were obtained and 19,915 unigenes were successfully annotated in four public databases. Only 9932 out of 19915 unigenes were commonly annotated by all four databases. In addition, 9609 unigenes were categorized into 54 function categories of Gene Ontology (GO), and 14,512 unigenes were successfully grouped into 25 functional categories of the EuKaryotic Orthologous Groups (KOG) database. Moreover, 11,507 unigenes were assigned to 228 pathways of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Out of 51,092 unigenes, a total of 4257 different microsatellites with motifs range from di- to hexanucleotide were identified from 3324 unigene sequences. Among 64 primer pairs selected for validation, 35 were successful in PCR amplification and 13 exhibited obvious repeat polymorphisms in the wild population of S. terebrans in Dongzhaigang (Hainan Island). The transcriptome dataset and the identified microsatellite markers (SSRs) will provide abundant information for researches on the discovery of new genes, metabolic mechanism and genetic diversity of S. terebrans.

Wang Chen,Ma Yuanyuan,Shao Zhipeng,Huang Xiuli,Fei Jiaxuan 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Multimedia and Ubiquitous Vol.11 No.10

With the development of power industry, communication security has become an important issue affecting the stability of power system. IEC 62351 standard provides security for substation communication system. However, different transmission protocols may lead to different manufacturers to produce different understanding, manufacturing is not compatible with the device. In order to avoid such a situation, the Finite State Machine (FSM) theory is used to model and analyze the transmission protocol of IEC 62351 standard. In this paper, the FSM model is simulated by the StateFlow tool, and it can be considered that the FSM theory is applicable to the analysis of compliance with IEC 62351 standard.

Vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vips) are insecticidal proteins synthesized by Bacillus thuringiensis during the vegetative stage of growth. In this study, Vip3Aa protein, obtained by in vitro expression of the vip3Aa gene from B. thuringiensis WB5, displayed high insecticidal activity against Spodoptera litura aside from Spodoptera exigua and Helicoverpa armigera. Bioassay results showed that the toxicity of Vip3Aa protein against S. litura larvae statistically decreased along with the increase of the age of the larvae, with LC₅₀ = 2.609 ng/cm² for neonatal larvae, LC₅₀ = 28.778 ng/cm² for first instar larvae, LC₅₀ = 70.460 ng/cm² for second instar larvae, and LC₅₀ = 200.627 ng/cm² for third instar larvae. The accumulative mortality of 100% larvae appeared at 72 h for all instars of S. litura larvae, when feeding respectively with 83.22, 213.04, 341.40, and 613.20 ng/cm² of Vip3Aa toxin to the neonatal and first to third instar larvae. The histopathological effects of Vip3Aa toxin on the midgut epithelial cells of S. litura larvae was also investigated. The TEM observations showed wide damage of the epithelial cell in the midgut of S. litura larvae fed with Vip3Aa toxin.
