The image obtained in a transmission electron microscope is the two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional (3D) object. The 3D reconstruction of the object can be calculated from a series of projections by back-projection, but this algorithm assumes that the image is linearly related to a line integral of the object function. However, there are two kinds of contrast in electron microscopy, scattering and phase contrast, of which only the latter is linear with the optical density (OD) in the micrograph. Therefore the OD can be used as a measure of the projection only for thin specimens where phase contrast dominates the image. For thick specimens, where scattering contrast predominates, an exponential absorption law holds, and a logarithm of OD must be used. However, for large thicknesses, the simple exponential law might break down due to multiple and inelastic scattering.

Presentation attack artefacts can be used to subvert the operation of biometric systems by being presented to the sensors of such systems. In this work, we propose the use of visual stimuli with randomised trajectories to stimulate eye movements for the detection of such spoofing attacks. The presentation of a moving visual challenge is used to ensure that some pupillary motion is stimulated and then captured with a camera. Various types of challenge trajectories are explored on different planar geometries representing prospective devices where the challenge could be presented to users. To evaluate the system, photo, 2D mask and 3D mask attack artefacts were used and pupillary movement data were captured from 80 volunteers performing genuine and spoofing attempts. The results support the potential of the proposed features for the detection of biometric presentation attacks.

The coupling interactions and self-exchange reaction mechanisms between NO and ONH (NOH) have been systematically investigated at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. All the equilibrium complexes are characterized by the intermolecular H-bonds and co-planar geometries. The cisoid NOH/ON species is the most stable one among all the complexes considered due to the formation of an N – N bond. Moreover, all the cisoid complexes are found to be more stable than the corresponding transoid ones. The origin of the blueshifts occurring in the selected complexes has been explored, employing the natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations. Additionally, the proton transfer mechanisms for the self-exchange reactions have been proposed, i.e. they can proceed via the three-center proton-coupled electron transfer or five-center cyclic proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism.

Heat flux conveyed by diffuse radiation from surface A1 and A2 through an absorbing medium is expressed by the relation Q1−2=J1 ∫A1×A2f(l12)(cosθ1cosθ2/πl122)dA1dA2 where J1 is the radiosity of A1 (sum of the emitted, reflected, and transmitted flux per unit area), l12 is the radiation beam (the distance between surface elements dA1 and dA2), θ1 and θ2 are the angles between the radiation beam and the normals to the surface elements, and f(l12) is the function describing the absorption law. The foregoing four-dimensional integral is transformed into a sum of one-dimensional integrals for the cases of opposite-parallel and adjoining-perpendicular rectangles. The results are suitable for numerical integration with any total absorption law obtained from the actual distribution of monochromatic absorptivities over the whole spectrum.

Density-functional theory has been used to calculate the energetically global-minimum geometries and electronic states of AgnH2S (n=2, 4, 6) clusters. The lowest-energy structures of Ag2, Ag4, Ag6, Ag2H2S, Ag4H2S and Ag6H2S clusters were obtained, respectively. The calculation results show that the lowest-energy structures of Ag2, Ag4and Ag6clusters are planar geometries. The binding energies of Agn(n=2, 4, 6) clusters are gradually increasing in our calculations. Compare the infrared spectrum peaks of Ag4cluster with that of Ag6cluster, which show that the peaks shift to shortwave. After adsorption, we found that the peaks shift to shortwave by comparison.
