Objective. In previous studies, the factors affecting the accuracy of imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) heart rate (HR) measurement have been focused on the light intensity, facial reflection angle, and motion artifacts. However, the factor of specularly reflected light has not been studied in detail. We explored the effect of specularly reflected light on the accuracy of HR estimation and proposed an estimation method for the direction of specularly radiated light. Approach. To study the HR measurement accuracy influenced by specularly reflected light, we control the component of specularly reflected light by controlling its angle. A total of 100 videos from four different reflected light angles were collected, and 25 subjects participated in the dataset collection. We extracted angles and illuminations for 71 facial regions, fitting sample points through interpolation, and selecting the angle corresponding to the maximum weight in the fitted curve as the estimated reflected angle. Main results. The experimental results show that higher specularly reflected light compromises HR estimation accuracy under the same value of light intensity. Notably, at a 60 degrees angle, the HR accuracy (ACC) increased by 0.7%, while the signal-to-noise ratio and Pearson correlation coefficient increased by 0.8 dB and 0.035, respectively, compared to 0 degrees. The overall root mean squared error, standard deviation, and mean error of our proposed reflected light angle estimation method on the illumination multi-angle incidence (IMAI) dataset are 1.173 degrees, 0.978 degrees, and 0.773 degrees. The average Pearson value is 0.8 in the PURE rotation dataset. In addition, the average ACC of HR measurements in the PURE dataset is improved by 1.73% in our method compared to the state-of-the-art traditional methods. Significance. Our method has great potential for clinical applications, especially in bright light environments such as during surgery, to improve accuracy and monitor blood

In order to alleviate the pressure on the supply of lithium resources, this research proposes the use of binary/ternary collectors with high selectivity and collecting ability to enhance the flotation purification of low-grade zinnwaldite ore. The binary collector is a mixture of dodecylamine polyoxyethylene ether and DL-2-octanol. A binary collector is added first, followed by sodium oleate, known as a ternary collector. Under acidic conditions, the recovery of Li2O in the concentrate was increased by 8.26% with the binary collector and 13.70% with the ternary collector, compared to the dodecylamine polyoxyethylene ether. The binary collector enhanced the dispersibility of the single collector, while co-adsorption strengthened the hydrophobic nature of the zinnwaldite surface. Consequently, zinnwaldite particles,after the application of binary collector, displayed inter-particle flocculation and attachment to bubbles within 60×10^(-9)m compared to other particles. Ternary collector exhibited the capacity to lower critical micelle concentration and surface tension, subsequently inducing a denser and thicker hydrophobic layer through electrostatic forces, hydrophobic interactions, and chemical reactions. The objective of this research is to facilitate the recovery of lithium resources from low-grade ores in order to meet the needs of sustainable development.

Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have drawn attention for their simplicity, rapid start-up, high power density and environmental friendliness. Despite these advantages, the widespread application of DEFCs faces challenges, primarily due to the inadequate performance of anode and cathode catalysts. Pd-based materials have shown exceptional catalytic activity for both the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Alloying noble metals with rare earth elements has emerged as an effective strategy to further enhance the catalytic activity by modulating the electronic structure. In this study, we synthesized a series of palladium-rare earth (Pd3RE) alloys supported on carbon to serve as bifunctional catalysts that efficiently promote both ORR and EOR. Compared to Pd/C, the Pd3Tb/C catalyst exhibits 3.1-fold and 1.8-fold enhancement in activity for ORR and EOR, respectively. The charge transfer in the Pd3Tb/C results in an electron-rich Pd component, thereby weakening the binding energy with oxygen species and facilitating the two reactions.
