This paper describes a new technique for removing impulsive noise in digital color images. The proposed method uses a measure of the pixel distortion caused by the impulsive noise, expressed as the sum of the Euclidean distances between the central pixel and its closest neighbors in the filtering window. This corruption measure is used to determine a weighted average of the pixels from the local neighborhood that is not affected by the distorted pixels. The filtering output is obtained using a soft switching scheme, where the denoising result is determined as a weighted average of the central pixel of a processing window and its robust estimate. The weighting coefficient is calculated based on the amount of distortion of the central pixel. Thus, if the central pixel is highly distorted, it is replaced by its robust estimate, otherwise it is not significantly changed. The parameters that determine the image enhancement result are adaptively adjusted by using a noise-resistant image contrast measure. The proposed filter design is able to effectively suppress impulsive noise while preserving fine image details and edges. Comparison with existing algorithms shows that the proposed method provides better denoising results than the most efficient filters designed for impulsive noise suppression in color images. Moreover, the new method is very fast and can be used in real-time denoising scenarios.

We study a cluster of quantum dots defined within silicene that hosts confined electron states with spin and valley degrees of freedom. Atomistic tight-binding and continuum Dirac approximations are applied for a few-electron system in the quest for spontaneous valley polarization driven by interdot tunneling and an electron-electron interaction, i.e., a valley counterpart of itinerant Nagaoka ferromagnetic ordering recently identified in a GaAs square cluster of quantum dots with three excess electrons [J. P. Dehollain et al., Nature (London) 579, 528 (2020)]. We find that for a Hamiltonian without intrinsic spin-orbit coupling the valley polarization in the ground state can be observed in a range of interdot spacings provided that the spin of the system is frozen by an external magnetic field. The intervalley scattering effects are negligible for a cluster geometry that supports the valley-polarized ground state. In the presence of a strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling that is characteristic to silicene, no external magnetic field is necessary for the observation of a ground state that is polarized in both the spin and valley. The effective magnetic field due to the spin-orbit interaction produces a perfect anticorrelation of the spin and valley isospin components in the low-energy spectrum. Experimental detection of spin-valley ground-state polarization by a charge response to a potential variation is discussed.
In this paper, a reflection element sensitive to polarization direction is proposed, which can independently control the phase of incident wave in dual polarized directions. Then, a reflectarray including the proposed...

We determine thresholds pc for random-site percolation on a triangular lattice for all available neighborhoods containing sites from the first to the fifth coordination zones, including their complex combinations. There are 31 distinct neighborhoods. The dependence of the value of the percolation thresholds pc on the coordination number z are tested against various theoretical predictions. The proposed single scalar index ξ=∑iziri2/i (depending on the coordination zone number i, the neighborhood coordination number z, and the square distance r2 to sites in ith coordination zone from the central site) allows one to differentiate among various neighborhoods and relate pc to ξ. The thresholds roughly follow a power law pc∝ξ−γ with γ≈0.710(19).
