The spin quantum Hall transition (or class C transition in two dimensions) represents one of the few localization-delocalization transitions for which some of the critical exponents are known exactly. Not known, however, is the multifractal spectrum τq, which describes the system-size scaling of inverse participation ratios Pq, i.e., the q moments of critical wave-function amplitudes. We here report simulations based on the class C Chalker-Coddington network and demonstrate that τq is (essentially) a quartic polynomial in q. Analytical results fix all prefactors except the quartic curvature that we obtain as γ=(2.22±0.15)×10−3. In order to achieve the necessary accuracy in the presence of sizable corrections to scaling, we have analyzed the evolution with system size of the entire Pq-distribution function. As it turns out, in a sizable window of q values this distribution function exhibits a (single-parameter) scaling collapse already in the preasymptotic regime, where finite-size corrections are not negligible. This observation motivates us to propose new, original approach for extracting τq based on concepts borrowed from the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of mathematical statistics. We believe that our work provides the conceptual means for high-precision investigations of multifractal spectra also near other localization-delocalization transitions of current interest, especially the integer (class A) quantum Hall effect.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion on metallic materials, especially mild steel, is the major concern to various industrial sectors as continuously exposed to different environmental conditions, which causes damages related to loss of materials, environment and finance. Finding an effective method to improve corrosion resistance, enhance durability, and even reduce maintenance costs for mild steel-based components is always an urgent requirement. Beyond increased applicability and extended lifespan of steel-based infrastructures, maintaining sustainability and environmental friendliness of the methods used is relatively important. Motivated by this direction, this work uses lanthanum (III) chloride (LaCl3) as a corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in the 0.01 M NaCl solution saturated with CO2. By combining surface characterizations and electrochemical measurements, electrochemical behaviors of mild steel and the effects of the inhibitor on electrochemical activities of steel are clearly demonstrated. Surface characterizations including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are applied to observe and analyze the steel surface after immersion in the prepared solution without and with varying concentrations of the inhibitor for 72 hours. The results show the film formation of lanthanum-based compounds on the steel surface probably reduces localized corrosion and minimizes porous flakes on the steel surface. Additionally, the electrochemical measurements, including potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), indicate that LaCl3 acts a mixed-type inhibitor that prevents both anodic and cathodic reactions on the metal surface in the electrolyte, with the highest inhibition efficiency achieving 95.97 ± 0.41% at 2.4 mM LaCl3. The film formation of the inhibitor based on the heterogenous monolayer adsorption is demonstrated by isotherm adsorption. Moreover, the wi

The paper presented a Personalized Intelligent Vascular 3D Simulator as an essential part of the Intelligent Robotic Ecosystem LevshAI for remote endovascular neurosurgery. The training LevshAI is equipped with intelligent haptic feedback and Personalized 3D Simulator. The simulator creates a unique personal vascular architecture according to the individual patient parameters obtained from the medical images. The Personalized 3D Simulator allows surgeons to practice on the simulator and choose the best tactics before the operation - personalized surgery. The feedback and simulator of the LevshAI system provide a training environment identical to what a surgeon would experience in an operating room. The simulator is based on proposed segmentation and reconstruction algorithms. The presented algorithms are fully automated and can be applied to any imaging modality. The simulator has passed a preclinical study on both Computed Tomography Angiography and Magnetic Resonance Angiography data. The Personalized Intelligent Vascular 3D Simulator can be applied to (1) personalized surgery; (2) automated screening for cerebrovascular risks in healthy people.
