23 Oct 2018TL;DR: A simple yet effective Self-Erasing Network (SeeNet) is introduced to prohibit attentions from spreading to unexpected background regions and leverages two self-erasing strategies to encourage networks to use reliable object and background cues for learning to attention.
Abstract: Recently, adversarial erasing for weakly-supervised object attention has been deeply studied due to its capability in localizing integral object regions. However, such a strategy raises one key problem that attention regions will gradually expand to non-object regions as training iterations continue, which significantly decreases the quality of the produced attention maps. To tackle such an issue as well as promote the quality of object attention, we introduce a simple yet effective Self-Erasing Network (SeeNet) to prohibit attentions from spreading to unexpected background regions. In particular, SeeNet leverages two self-erasing strategies to encourage networks to use reliable object and background cues for learning to attention. In this way, integral object regions can be effectively highlighted without including much more background regions. To test the quality of the generated attention maps, we employ the mined object regions as heuristic cues for learning semantic segmentation models. Experiments on Pascal VOC well demonstrate the superiority of our SeeNet over other state-of-the-art methods.

TL;DR: It is revealed that the catalysts Ir-SIPHOX are very stable and resistant to the formation of inactive trimers under hydrogenation conditions, and a rational explanation for the enantiocontrol of the chiral catalysts in the hydrogenation of imines is proposed.
Abstract: New chiral phosphine-oxazoline ligands (7, SIPHOX) with a rigid and bulky spirobiindane scaffold were synthesized, starting with optically pure 7-diphenylphosphino-7'-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxyl-1,1'-spirobiindane, in four steps in 40-64% overall yield. Iridium complexes of 7, the chiral analogues of the Crabtree catalyst, were generated by coordination of ligands 7 and [Ir(COD)Cl](2) in the presence of sodium tetrakis-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylborate. The complexes were characterized by NMR, ESI-MS, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The Ir-SIPHOX complexes can catalyze the hydrogenation of acyclic N-aryl ketimines under ambient pressure with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee) and full conversions. This result represents the highest enantioselectivity and the first example of the hydrogenation of imines catalyzed by chiral analogues of the Crabtree catalyst at ambient pressure. Studies on the stability of the catalysts revealed that the catalysts Ir-SIPHOX are very stable and resistant to the formation of inactive trimers under hydrogenation conditions. On the basis of the X-ray diffraction analysis of the structures of catalysts and amine products, a rational explanation for the enantiocontrol of the chiral catalysts in the hydrogenation of imines is proposed.

TL;DR: Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) contaminated soil samples were collected from Shengli Oilfield of China and TPH content of 1.5% is considered to be a critical value for plant growth and living of earthworm and 0.5%) will affect the activity of luminescent bacteria.
Abstract: Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) contaminated soil samples were collected from Shengli Oilfield of China. Toxicity analysis was carried out based on earthworm acute toxicity, plant growth experiment and luminescent bacteria test. The soil was contaminated by-petroleum hydrogcarbons with TPH concentration of 10.57%. With lethal and sub-lethal rate as endpoint, earthworm test showed that the LD50 (lethal dose 50%) values in 4 and 7 days were 1.45% and 1.37% respectively, and the inhibition rate of earthworm body weight increased with higher oil concentration. TPH pollution in the soil inhibited seed germination in both wheat and maize experiment when the concentration of petroleum was higher than 0.1%. The EC50 (effective concentration 50%) for germination is 3.04% and 2.86% in maize and wheat, respectively. While lower value of EC50 for root elongation was to be 1.11% and 1.64% in maize and wheat, respectively, suggesting higher sensitivity of root elongation on petroleum contamination in the soil. The EC50 value in luminescent bacteria test was 0.47% for petroleum in the contaminated soil. From the experiment result, it was concluded that TPH content of 1.5% is considered to be a critical value for plant growth and living of earthworm and 0.5% will affect the activity of luminescent bacteria.

TL;DR: A strategy to regulate the generation of reactive oxygen species by atomically dispersed cobalt anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon by determining PMS oxidation in non-radical pathway and simultaneous singlet oxygen generation is demonstrated.
Abstract: Single-atom CoN 4 active sites have demonstrated excellent efficiency in peroxymonosulfate activation. However, the identification of CoN 4 active sites and the detailed singlet oxygen generation mechanism in peroxymonosulfate activation still remain ambiguous. In this study, we demonstrated a strategy to regulate the generation of reactive oxygen species by atomically dispersed cobalt anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon. As assisted by experimental and DFT calculations, CoN 2+2 was the definite active sites. Singlet oxygen was the absolutely predominant reactive oxygen species that the proportion was 98.89%. Different from the traditional CoN 4 configuration, the CoN 2+2 active sites transformed the pathway of peroxymonosulfate activation and facilitated the singlet oxygen generation. Spontaneous dissociation of adsorbed peroxymonosulfate on Co single atoms was prevented due to the energy barriers caused by weak positive Co atoms and CoN 2+2 coordination, determining PMS oxidation in non-radical pathway and simultaneous singlet oxygen generation. The generated singlet oxygen showed efficient activity for degradation of several organic pollutants in a broad pH range.

TL;DR: In this article, a single-atom site (SA) catalysts on N-doped carbon (CN) materials exhibit prominent performance for their active sites being M-Nx.
Abstract: Single-atom site (SA) catalysts on N-doped carbon (CN) materials exhibit prominent performance for their active sites being M-Nx. Due to the commonly random doping behaviors of N species in these CN, it is a tough issue to finely regulate their doping types and clarify their effect on the catalytic property of such catalysts. Herein, we report that the N-doping type in CN can be dominated as pyrrolic-N and pyridinic-N respectively through compounding with different metal oxides. It is found that the proportion of distinct doped N species in CN depends on the acidity and basicity of compounded metal oxide host. Owing to the coordination by pyrrolic-N, the SA Cu catalyst displays an enhanced activity (two-fold) for transfer hydrogenation of quinoline to access the valuable molecule tetrahydroquinoline with a good selectivity (99%) under mild conditions. The higher electron density of SA Cu species induced by the predominate pyrrolic-N coordination benefits the hydrogen transfer process and reduces the energy barrier of the hydrogenation pathway, which accounts for the improved catalytic effeciency.
