LiDAR systems that rely on classical signals are susceptible to intercept-and-recent spoofing attacks, where a target attempts to avoid detection. To address this vulnerability, we propose a quantum-secured LiDAR protocol that utilizes Gaussian modulated coherent states for both range determination and spoofing attack detection. By leveraging the Gaussian nature of the signals, the LiDAR system can accurately determine the range of the target through cross-correlation analysis. Additionally, by estimating the excess noise of the LiDAR system, the spoofing attack performed by the target can be detected, as it can introduce additional noise to the signals. We have developed a model for target ranging and security check, and conducted numerical simulations to evaluate the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) of the LiDAR system. The results indicate that an intercept-and-recent spoofing attack can be detected with a high probability at a low false-alarm rate. Furthermore, the proposed method can be implemented using currently available technology, highlighting its feasibility and practicality in real-world applications.

Due to the flourishing of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, radar-based human activity recognition (HAR) technology has made significant progress and has become an indispensable research area. Many radar systems use multiple feature maps and handle them directly in image format. However, the generation of multiple forms of feature maps requires heavy computational resources, which makes it impractical for real-world applications. Additionally, many networks fail to fully extract temporal information from the time-Doppler (TD) map during the feature extraction. Therefore, a time-weighted network based on strip pooling (TWN-SP) using the TD map is proposed in this article. The TWN-SP consists of two time-weighted modules based on fire (TWMs-F) and a feature fusion module based on temporal and channel attention (FFM-TCA). Due to the application of depthwise separable convolution (DSC) and placing the feature fusion step at the forefront, the proposed network has fewer parameters. Moreover, a radar dataset named RadSet is constructed, containing TD maps of six daily activities. To validate the performance of the TWN-SP, a ten-fold cross-validation (CV) on the public dataset named Radar848 and a leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) CV on the RadSet dataset are carried out, respectively. To further validate the generalization performance of TWN-SP, a comparative analysis was conducted on another public dataset, Ci4R. The TWN-SP achieves an accuracy of 99.28% on the RadSet dataset. Experimental results indicate that the TWN-SP surpasses the current leading networks in both performance and complexity.

The abuse of toxic organic solvents has caused great harm to human health and the environment. Therefore, developing an environmentally friendly nano-based pesticide formulation without using harmful solvents is urgent to improve the efficacy of pesticides and minimize environmental and health risks. Herein, by combining aspartic acid (Asp) with spinosad (SSD) as an attractive building unit, a self-assembly and carrier-minimized strategy was applied to construct a nanobiopesticide (Asp-SSD) simultaneously. To further improve the storage stability of the formulation, the biogenic surfactant alkyl polyglucoside (APG) was subsequently added to afford a more stable and smaller nano-delivery system (Asp-SSD-APG). Bioactivity assays showed that Asp-SSD-APG exhibited good quick-acting performance against Musca domestica in the spray assay, and the insecticidal activities of Asp-SSD and Asp-SSD-APG were better than that of the SSD nano-suspension concentrate (Nano-SC). Compared to CK, Asp-SSD-APG reduced the activity of GST, SOD, and CAT in M. domestica, which contributed to the enhanced insecticidal effect of SSD. The cell viability evaluation in 4T1 cells showed that Asp-SSD-APG posed a low risk to the mammalian cells. This study provides an alternative approach for developing environmentally benign nanobiopesticides with a self-assembly and carrier-minimized strategy, which has the potential to improve the efficacy and safety of pesticides in the public health field.

We present a poromechanical framework for hydraulic fracturing processes in transversely isotropic rocks. We derive the conservation laws and effective stress formulation for the coupled solid deformation, damage evolution, and fluid flow processes in porous rocks based on the mixture theory and continuum thermodynamics. For the modeling of hydraulic fracture propagation in transversely isotropic rocks, a recently developed double-phase-field model is adopted that considers fracture initiation through the rock matrix and along the weak bedding planes. The finite element framework for the coupled processes is introduced in detail as a u-p-d\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$u-p-d$$\end{document} formulation, and the staggered numerical solution scheme is adopted that updates the displacement and pore pressure fields first and then the phase-field variables. We then conduct element-level simulations to verify the proposed framework. Lastly, we investigate the hydraulic fracturing processes for both isotropic and transversely isotropic rocks. The impact of bedding plane orientations, strength ratios between the rock matrix and bedding planes, strength anisotropy levels of the rock matrix, and tectonic stress conditions on the initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures in transversely isotropic rocks are studied.

In traditional low-frequency energy harvesting circuits, a large matched inductor with a large size is unavoidable. To reduce the size of the circuit, this paper proposes a compact self-powered inductor-less high-efficiency piezoelectric energy harvesting circuit using a low-power-consumption gyrator. A self-powered floating gyrator inductor is used in place of an inductor in the proposed circuit, and the required phasor response is acquired by using its voltage-current (V-I) relationship. The proposed circuit offers easy adjustability and performance benefits in small integrated circuits packages. The proposed circuit can be cost-effective and provide reduced area advantages in autonomous self-powered Internet-of-Things and wireless sensor nodes applications. Regarding harvested energy, the proposed circuit with a storage capacitor of 0.24 F can obtain 320% improved performance than standard energy harvesting along with the lowest power consumption of 0.25 mu W in self-powered operation. The proposed technique can also be applied to similar piezoelectric energy harvesting strategies with large inductors.

In this work, the Keggin-type tri- and mono-palladium-substituted silicotungstates (POMs) were constructed by the reaction of tri- and monovacant silicotungstates ([SiW9O34](10-) or [SiW11O39](8-)) with palladium chloride. The as-obtained potassium salts of POMs demonstrated that Pd2+ ions were incorporated into POM frameworks. Notably, Pd nanoparticles were formed when the tri-palladium-substituted Keggin-type POM salts were reduced by H-2. It was found that [SiW9O34](10-) anions could act as multivacant coordination ligands to effectively stabilize palladium nanoparticles. The Pd nanoparticles were catalytically active for the reductive amination of carbon dioxide, and the formylamides were achieved in high yields under mild reaction conditions with methanol as the solvent. Notably, the Pd nanocatalyst exhibited outstanding recyclability and was recycled at least eight times without any obvious loss of the catalytic activity. The characterization by HAADF-STEM revealed that Pd nanoparticles formed a stable structure with POMs. Further studies demonstrated that the N-formylation reaction proceeds by the "methyl formate" pathway, involving CO2 activation by an in situ reaction with methanol and K2CO3 to generate potassium methyl carbonate. H-2 underwent heterolytic dissociation with the assistance of a base over a Pd-0-SiW9 catalyst, leading to one proton bound to carbonates and the hydride on a Pd atom (Pd-H). Moreover, the coupling of potassium methyl carbonate and Pd-H species afforded methyl formate intermediates in methanol, and then the reaction of methyl formate with amines gave formamides. This catalytic system demonstrated the benefits of excellent reactivity, stability, and recyclability for the N-formylation reaction.
