TL;DR: Sufficient conditions for stochastic stability of the underlying systems are derived via the linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation, and the design of the stabilizing controller is further given.
Abstract: In this note, the stability analysis and stabilization problems for a class of discrete-time Markov jump linear systems with partially known transition probabilities and time-varying delays are investigated. The time-delay is considered to be time-varying and has a lower and upper bounds. The transition probabilities of the mode jumps are considered to be partially known, which relax the traditional assumption in Markov jump systems that all of them must be completely known a priori. Following the recent study on the class of systems, a monotonicity is further observed in concern of the conservatism of obtaining the maximal delay range due to the unknown elements in the transition probability matrix. Sufficient conditions for stochastic stability of the underlying systems are derived via the linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation, and the design of the stabilizing controller is further given. A numerical example is used to illustrate the developed theory.

TL;DR: Investigation of the overheating caused by 980 nm excitation laser light in UC bioimaging and imaging and spectroscopy analysis of UC photoluminescence demonstrated that a 915 nm laser can serve as a new promising excitation light for UC animal imaging.
Abstract: Successful further development of superhigh-constrast upconversion (UC) bioimaging requires addressing the existing paradox: 980 nm laser light is used to excite upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), while 980 nm light has strong optical absorption of water and biological specimens. The overheating caused by 980 nm excitation laser light in UC bioimaging is computationally and experimentally investigated for the first time. A new promising excitation approach for better near-infrared to near-infrared (NIR-to-NIR) UC photoluminescence in vitro or in vivo imaging is proposed employing a cost-effective 915 nm laser. This novel laser excitation method provides drastically less heating of the biological specimen and larger imaging depth in the animals or tissues due to quite low water absorption. Experimentally obtained thermal-graphic maps of the mouse in response to the laser heating are investigated to demonstrate the less heating advantage of the 915 nm laser. Our tissue phantom experiments and simulations verified that the 915 nm laser is superior to the 980 nm laser for deep tissue imaging. A novel and facile strategy for surface functionalization is utilized to render UCNPs hydrophilic, stable, and cell targeting. These as-prepared UCNPs were characterized by TEM, emission spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, and zeta potential. Specifically targeting UCNPs excited with a 915 nm laser have shown very high contrast UC bioimaging. Highly stable DSPE-mPEG-5000-encapsulated UCNPs were injected into mice to perform in vivo imaging. Imaging and spectroscopy analysis of UC photoluminescence demonstrated that a 915 nm laser can serve as a new promising excitation light for UC animal imaging.

TL;DR: In this article, an annealing strategy is developed to accurately regulate the content of ketonic carbonyl groups on nanodiamonds; meanwhile other structural characteristics of the diamond remain unchanged.
Abstract: Nanodiamonds exhibit great potential as green catalysts for remediation of organic contaminants. However, the specific active site and corresponding oxidative mechanism are unclear, which retard further developments of high-performance catalysts. Here, an annealing strategy is developed to accurately regulate the content of ketonic carbonyl groups on nanodiamonds; meanwhile other structural characteristics of nanodiamonds remain almost unchanged. The well-defined nanodiamonds with well-controlled ketonic carbonyl groups exhibit excellent catalytic activity in activation of peroxymonosulfate for oxidation of organic pollutants. Based on the semi-quantitative and quantitative correlations of ketonic carbonyl groups and the reaction rate constants, it is conclusively determined that ketonic carbonyl groups are the catalytically active sites. Different from conventional oxidative systems, reactive oxygen species in nanodiamonds@peroxymonosulfate system are revealed to be singlet oxygen with high selectivity, which can effectively oxidize and mineralize the target contaminants. Impressively, the singlet-oxygen-mediated oxidation system significantly outperforms the classical radicals-based oxidation system in remediation of actual wastewater. This work not only provides a valuable insight for the design of new nanocarbon catalysts with abundant active sites but also establishes a very promising catalytic oxidation system for the green remediation of actual contaminated water.

TL;DR: This survey introduces feature detection, description, and matching techniques from handcrafted methods to trainable ones and provides an analysis of the development of these methods in theory and practice, and briefly introduces several typical image matching-based applications.
Abstract: As a fundamental and critical task in various visual applications, image matching can identify then correspond the same or similar structure/content from two or more images. Over the past decades, growing amount and diversity of methods have been proposed for image matching, particularly with the development of deep learning techniques over the recent years. However, it may leave several open questions about which method would be a suitable choice for specific applications with respect to different scenarios and task requirements and how to design better image matching methods with superior performance in accuracy, robustness and efficiency. This encourages us to conduct a comprehensive and systematic review and analysis for those classical and latest techniques. Following the feature-based image matching pipeline, we first introduce feature detection, description, and matching techniques from handcrafted methods to trainable ones and provide an analysis of the development of these methods in theory and practice. Secondly, we briefly introduce several typical image matching-based applications for a comprehensive understanding of the significance of image matching. In addition, we also provide a comprehensive and objective comparison of these classical and latest techniques through extensive experiments on representative datasets. Finally, we conclude with the current status of image matching technologies and deliver insightful discussions and prospects for future works. This survey can serve as a reference for (but not limited to) researchers and engineers in image matching and related fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, carbonized nanoparticles, derived from monodisperse nanoscale metal organic frameworks (MIL-88B-NH3), were used as the high performance ORR catalysts.
Abstract: The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is one of the key steps in clean and efficient energy conversion techniques such as in fuel cells and metal-air batteries; however, several disadvantages of current ORRs including the kinetically sluggish process and expensive catalysts hinder mass production of these devices Herein, we develop carbonized nanoparticles, which are derived from monodisperse nanoscale metal organic frameworks (MIL-88B-NH3), as the high performance ORR catalysts The onset potential and the half-wave potential for the ORR at these carbonized nanoparticles is up to 103 and 092 V (vs RHE) in 01 M KOH solution, respectively, which represents the best ORR activity of all the non-noble metal catalysts reported so far Furthermore, when used as the cathode of the alkaline direct fuel cell, the power density obtained with the carbonized nanoparticles reaches 227 mW/cm2, 17 times higher than the commercial Pt/C catalysts
