Bias process for heteroepitaxial diamond nucleation on Ir substrates

Wang Weihua,Yang Shilin,Liu Benjian,Hao Xiaobin,Han Jiecai,Dai Bing,Zhu Jiaqi 한국탄소학회 2023 Carbon Letters Vol.33 No.2

Heteroepitaxy is a better method of enlarging SCD wafer size than homoepitaxy. In this work, several aspects of the bias process for heteroepitaxial diamond nucleation are studied experimentally. First, with increasing bias time, the diamond-nucleation pathway is found to transform from “isolated-crystal nucleation” to “typical domain-nucleation” and back to “isolated-crystal nucleation.” An interdependent relationship between bias voltage and bias time is proposed: the higher the bias voltage, the shorter the bias time. Second, a correlation exists between the threshold bias voltage and reactor-chamber pressure: a higher reactor chamber pressure usually requires a higher threshold bias voltage to realize “typical domain nucleation.” Third, diamond bias-enhanced nucleation and growth is observed at a high CH4 content, where the dynamic equilibrium between amorphous-carbon-layer deposition and atomic-hydrogen etching is broken. Finally, epitaxial nucleation is obtained on a substrate with ∅30 mm in a home-made MPCVD setup.

Path Tracking and Local Obstacle Avoidance for Automated Vehicle Based on Improved Artificial Potential Field

Weihua Li,Yipeng Wang,Junlong Guo,Dianbo Ren,Jianfeng Wang,Shengkai Zhu,Jianping Xiao,Shijuan Chen 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2023 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.21 No.5

This study proposes an improved artificial potential field (APF) by considering the cooperative control of local obstacle avoidance and path tracking for automated vehicles. We established the path gravitational potential field (GPF) based on the scheduled path (SP), including the lateral and longitudinal GPFs, to enable the automated vehicle to quickly return to the SP and track after obstacle avoidance, while maintaining control of speed for the entire process. To address the local optimal solution problem of the classical APF, we proposed a sub-target-point selection strategy based on the information of obstacles and SP and established the GPF of the sub-target points. Thus, the automated vehicle can avoid obstacles and quickly return to the SP. Furthermore, the relative velocity of the automated vehicle and the obstacle was used to establish the velocity repulsion potential field (RPF), which improved the adaptability of the APF to dynamic obstacles. The simulation results indicate that the improved APF is capable of cooperative control of path tracking and local obstacle avoidance.

The Detection of Osthole and Application of Cell Imaging Based on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots

Ning Wang,Xuefang Yang,Haojiang Wang,Liping Xie,Weihua Jia,Wei Bian,Martin M. F. Choi 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2020 NANO Vol.15 No.03

A fluorescence probe has been synthesized for the detection of osthole using the nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) as shown in Fig. 1. The NCDs were fully characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the NCDs fluorescence probe was highly selective and sensitive to osthole. The linear response range for osthole was 5.0–7 5μM with a detection limit of 38 nM. The mechanism of the interaction of osthole and NCDs was discussed. The fluorescence probe has been applied to the analysis of biological samples. The as-synthesized NCDs with high fluorescence intensity, low toxicity and good biocompatibility were applied to cell imaging.

A Bilateral Filtering Based Ringing Elimination Approach for Motion-blurred Restoration Image

Weiqing Wang,Weihua Wang,Jiao Yin 한국광학회 2020 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.4 No.3

We describe an approach that uses a bilateral filter to reduce the ringing artifact in motion-blurred restoration image. It takes into account the specific physical structure of the ringing artifact combined with the properties of the human visual system. To properly reduce the ringing artifact, each of the adjacent pixels is limited in a straight line which has a given direction. To protect the edges and the texture regions of an image, our algorithm divides the image into texture regions and flat regions, and the artifact reduction algorithm is only applied to the flat region. Finally, we use 8 typical images and 5 objective quality evaluation indices to evaluate our algorithm. Experimental results show that our algorithm can obtain better results in subjective visual effect and in objective image quality evaluation.

Design and Optimization for the Windowless Target of the China Nuclear Waste Transmutation Reactor

Cheng, Desheng,Wang, Weihua,Yang, Shijun,Deng, Haifei,Wang, Rongfei,Wang, Binjun Korean Nuclear Society 2016 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.48 No.2

A windowless spallation target can provide a neutron source and maintain neutron chain reaction for a subcritical reactor, and is a key component of China's nuclear waste transmutation of coupling accelerator and subcritical reactor. The main issue of the windowless target design is to form a stable and controllable free surface that can ensure that energy spectrum distribution is acquired for the neutron physical design when the high energy proton beam beats the lead-bismuth eutectic in the spallation target area. In this study, morphology and flow characteristics of the free surface of the windowless target were analyzed through the volume of fluid model using computational fluid dynamics simulation, and the results show that the outlet cross section size of the target is the key to form a stable and controllable free surface, as well as the outlet with an arc transition. The optimization parameter of the target design, in which the radius of outlet cross section is $60{\pm}1mm$, is verified to form a stable and controllable free surface and to reduce the formation of air bubbles. This work can function as a reference for carrying out engineering design of windowless target and for verification experiments.

Antitumor Activities and Immunomodulatory Effects of Ginseng Neutral Polysaccharides in Combination with 5-Fluorouracil

Weihua Ni,Xu Zhang,Bo Wang,Yan Chen,Han Han,Yuying Fan,Yifa Zhou,Guihua Tai 한국식품영양과학회 2010 Journal of medicinal food Vol.13 No.2

A neutral polysaccharide fraction (WGPN) prepared from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer by hot water extraction and DEAE-cellulose chromatography was tested for its anticancer activity alone and in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in Sarcoma-180 (S180) tumor-bearing mice by intragastric administration. WGPN alone inhibited S180 tumor growth in a bell-shaped dose–response curve, and the combination with 5-FU showed a synergistic effect. Studies of various immunological activities in S180-bearing mice revealed that WGPN stimulated the proliferation of lymphocytes, increased natural killer cell cytotoxicity, enhanced the phagocytosis and nitric oxide production by macrophages, and increased the level of tumor necrosis factor-α in serum. In combination with 5-FU, WGPN mitigated damage to the immune system caused by 5-FU in S180-bearing mice. These results suggest that WGPN might be a potential adjuvant for chemotherapeutic drugs.

Postthrombolytic Antiplatelet Use for Patients with Intercerebral Hemorrhage without Extensive Parenchymal Involvement Does Not Worsen Outcome

Weihua Jia,Lichun Zhou,Xiaoling Liao,Yuesong Pan,Yongjun Wang 대한신경과학회 2015 Journal of Clinical Neurology Vol.11 No.4

Background and Purpose It is unclear whether postthrombolytic antiplatelet (AP) therapy after thrombolytic-related hemorrhage without extensive parenchymal involvement (THEPI) afects the clinical outcome. Tis study explored whether AP administration in patients with THEPI afects short- and long-term outcomes. Methods All of the data for this study were collected from the Trombolysis Implementation and Monitor of Acute Ischemic Stroke in China (TIMS-China) registry. Patients with THEPI were assigned to either the AP (AP therapy should be commenced 24 h afer intravenous thrombolysis) or AP-naïve groups. THEPI was defned according to European-Australasian Acute Stroke Study II criteria. Te 90-day functional outcome, 7-day National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and 7-day and 90-day mortalities were compared between the AP and AP-naïve groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of AP therapy on the short- and long-term clinical outcomes. Results Of the 928 patients enrolled from those in the TIMS-China registry (n=1,440), 89 (9.6%) had nonsymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) within 24–36 h afer thrombolysis; 33 (37%) of these patients were given AP therapy (AP group) and 56 (63%) were not (APnaïve group). No significant differences were found for the risk of 7-day aggravated ICH (p=0.998), 7-day NIHSS score (p=0.5491), 7-day mortality [odds ratio (OR)=3.427; 95% confdence interval (95% CI)=0.344–34.160; p=0.294], 90-day mortality (OR=0.788, 95% CI=0.154– 4.040, p=0.775), or modifed Rankin score 5 or 6 at 90-days (OR=1.108, 95% CI=0.249–4.928, p=0.893) between the AP and AP-naïve groups afer THEPI. Conclusions Early administration of postthrombolytic AP therapy afer THEPI does not worsen either the short- or long-term outcome. AP therapy may be a reasonable treatment option for patients with THEPI to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence.
