In a hybrid codec apparatus for data broadcasting, an encoder divides a source file into N sections, generates N principal encoded data after coding on a first finite field and k additional encoded data after coding on a second finite field, then transmits a group of coefficient encoded data and the N+k encoded data to a decoder. The decoder merges the group of coefficient encoded data and the N+k encoded data, and decodes the N principal encoded data on the first finite field. When the decoder fails to decode the N principal encoded data, the decoder uses the k additional encoded data to assist the data decoding on the second finite field. After the decoding, a recovered source file is produced.

A step-scan Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer coupled with a multipass absorption cell was utilized to monitor the gaseous transient species benzoyl radical, C6H5CO. C6H5CO was produced either from photolysis of acetophenone, C6H5C(O)CH3, at 248 nm or in reactions of phenyl radical (C6H5) with CO; C6H5 was produced on photolysis of C6H5Br at 248 nm. One intense band at 1838 +/- 1 cm(-1), one weak band at 1131 +/- 3 cm(-1), and two extremely weak bands at 1438 +/- 5 and 1590 +/- 10 cm(-1) are assigned to the C=O stretching (nu(6)), the C-C stretching mixed with C-H deformation (nu(15)), the out-of-phase C1C2C3/C5C6C1 symmetric stretching (nu(10)), and the in-phase C1C2C3/C4C5C6 antisymmetric stretching (nu(7)) modes of C6H5CO, respectively. These observed vibrational wavenumbers and relative IR intensities agree with those reported for C6H5CO isolated in solid Ar and with values predicted for C6H5CO with the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ method. The rotational contours of the two bands near 1838 and 1131 cm(-1) simulated according to rotational parameters predicted with the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ method fit satisfactorily with the experimental results. Additional products BrCO, C6H5C(O)Br, and C6H5C(O)C6H5 were identified in the C6H5Br/CO/N-2 experiments; the kinetics involving C6H5CO and C6H5C(O)Br are discussed.

We report the ab-initio study of rare-earth adatoms (Gd) on an insulating surface. This surface is of interest because of previous studies by scanning tunneling microscopy showing spin excitations of transition-metal adatoms. The present work is the first study of rare-earth spin-coupled adatoms, as well as the geometry effect of spin coupling and the underlying mechanism of ferromagnetic coupling. The exchange coupling between Gd atoms on the surface is calculated to be antiferromagnetic in a linear geometry and ferromagnetic in a diagonal geometry. We also find that the Gd dimers in these two geometries are similar to the nearest-neighbor and the next-nearest-neighbor Gd atoms in GdN bulk. We analyze how much direct exchange, superexchange, and Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interactions contribute to the exchange coupling for both geometries by additional first-principles calculations of related model systems.

This research presents a sol-gel derived zinc tin oxide thin film transistor (TFT) as a high-stability oxygen sensor. Due to its high sensitivity, oxygen has been traditionally regarded as having a negative influence on the electrical characteristics of zinc-based TFTs; however, TFTs can also act as an oxygen sensor. After illumination with visible light in oxygen-rich ambient, a significant increase in drain current of nearly 10 4 times occurs with fixed gate and drain voltages. It is expected that an optimized method of illumination can help to reset the electrical characteristics or distinguish the on/off state of this reliable oxygen sensor.

The defect-induced carrier localization in nonpolar a-plane (Al,Ga)N/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) structures with different well thickness have been investigated. A strong variation of temperature-dependent photoluminescence peak energy was observed and attributed to the existence of the localized states. The degree of carrier localization in these defect-induced states was more prominent in the case of MQWs with the wider well width. In addition, the ultraviolet light emission efficiency revealed a 3-fold enhancement with increasing the well width from 1.6 nm to 7.3 nm, due to the strong carrier localization generated from the quantum-wire-like features formed by the intersection between basal stacking faults and quantum wells.

Core-shell InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on GaN nanopillars were fabricated by top-down etching followed by epitaxial regrowth. The regrowth formed hexagonal sidewalls and pyramids on the nanopillars. The cathodoluminescence of MQWs blue shifts as the location moves from top to bottom on both the pillar sidewalls and pyramid facets, covering a spectral linewidth of about 100 nm. The MQWs on the pillar sidewalls have a higher InN fraction than those on the pyramid facets. The photoluminescent wavelength is stable over two orders of carrier density change due to the smaller quantum confined Stark effect on the nanopillar facets. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Radial collector wells are often constructed near a stream to obtain more water and produce smaller drawdown in comparison with traditional vertical wells. This paper aims at developing a mathematical model for describing head distributions induced by pumping in a radial collector well near a stream in an unconfined aquifer. A low permeable streambed between the stream and the aquifer is considered. The first-order free surface equation is used to describe the movement of water table. A point-sink solution of the model is developed first by a general transform combining Fourier sine and cosine transforms and then by Fourier transform and Laplace transform. The transient solution of head distributions for different well types such as the horizontal well or radial collector well can be obtained by integrating the point-sink solution along the well. Based on Darcy's law and the developed solution, an equation for temporal stream depletion rate describing filtration from the stream is then obtained. The steady-state solutions for filtration can be obtained from the transient solution when neglecting the exponential term associated with time. It is found that steady-state filtration depends only on the ratio of streambed permeability over aquifer permeability. Steady-state filtration equals water extraction from a well when the ratio is larger than 10(-2). The streambed is regarded as completely impermeable when the ratio is less than 10(-7). Additionally, the lowest water table happens near the well before occurrence of filtration. The lowest water table moves landward and away from the well after filtration occurs.

It is generally thought that East Asia dominates the supply of eolian dust to the North Pacific. Here we show the first data-based evidence of dust primarily from non-East Asian sources even during March 2010 when a super dust storm from East Asia struck the western Pacific. Chemical characteristics of aerosol samples collected at a high-mountain site in Taiwan show variable inputs from eolian dust and biomass burning. From backward trajectory analyses, satellite observation and model simulation, dust origins can be traced to the Middle East and North Africa, suggesting an integrated source from the global dust belt. Our global model results demonstrate that dust deposition in the North Pacific is primarily contributed by non-East Asian sources with an eastward decrease along the Westerlies.

An isomerically pure anti-anthradithiophene (aADT) arranged in an angular shape is developed. Formation of the framework of aADT incorporating four lateral alkyl substituents was accomplished by a one-pot benzannulation via multiple Suzuki coupling. This newly designed 2,8-stannylated aADT monomer was copolymerized with a ditheniodiketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) unit and a bithiophene unit, respectively, to furnish an alternating donor-acceptor copolymer poly(anthradithiophene-alt-dithienyldiketopyrrolopyrrole) (PaADTDPP) and a thiophene-rich poly(anthradithiophene-alt-bithiophene) (PaADTT). PaADTT with crystalline nature achieved a high FET mobility of 7.9 x 10(-2) cm(-2) V-1 s(-1) with an on-off ratio of 1.1 x 10(7). The photovoltaic device based on the PaADTDPP:PC71BM (1:2.5, w/w) blend exhibited a V-oc, of 0.66 V, a J(sc) of 9.49 mA/cm(2), and a FF of 58.4%, delivering a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.66%. By adding 1.5 vol % 1-chloronaphthalene (CN) as a processing additive, the PCE can be improved to 4.24%. We demonstrated that these angular-shaped and alkylated aADT-based polymers have better organic photovoltaic (OPVs) and field-effect transistor (FETs) characteristics than the linear-shaped ADT-containing polymers.
