Rhodium oxides, including a misfitlayered structure with alternate stacking of a rock salttype layer and a hexagonal RhO2 layer, are expected to have good thermoelectric properties. Among them, the thermoelectric properties (electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (S), Figure of merit (ZT) and calculated thermal conductivity (κ) by S, σ, ZT, and absolute temperature (T)) of bismuth-based rhodium oxides ((Bi1-x,Pbx) 2Sr2Rh2Oy, x = 0 and 0.02, hereafter BSR and BPSR, respectively) were investigated. In comparison with Bi2Sr2Co2Oy (BSC) at 700°C, S and κ enhanced (increased S, 110 (BSR) and 105 μV K-1 (BPSR) from 85 μV K-1 (BSC) and decreased κ, 0.32 (BSR) and 0.50 W m-1 K-1 (BPSR) from 1.75 W m-1 K-1 (BSC)), whereas σ decreased (15 (BSR) and 31 S cm-1 (BPSR) from 70 S cm-1 (BSC)). BPSR reached the highest ZT value of 0.067 at 700°C, compared to those of 0.056 (BSR) and 0.027 (BSC).

Development of active iron based water oxidation for designing an ideal artificial photosynthesis devices operating under benign neutral pH is highly demanded. We investigated the electrocatalytic activity of Ruddlesden-Pop-per-type strontium ferrite (Sr3Fe2O7) toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Owing to the temperature-dependent efficiency of the charge disproportionation of Fe4+, the OER activity of Sr3Fe2O7 varied with the temperature, and the onset potential for the OER at a neutral pH underwent a negative shift of approximately 200 mV by increasing the temperature for the stabilization of Fe4+. When metal substitution was made to Sr3Fe2O7 for stabilizing Fe4+ at room temperature, the temperature dependence of the OER activity disappeared and the OER was driven at a small overpotential without increasing the temperature, indicating that the stabilization of Fe4+ is substantially important for achieving high OER activity.

Visible light-induced two-step overall water-splitting was achieved by combining two types of photocatalysts, which were prepared by introducing foreign elements into rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) and strontium titanate (SrTiO3) with a controlled electronic band structure. Rutile TiO2 and SrTiO3 were doped with chromium and tantalum (Cr,Ta-TiO2) and with rhodium (Rh-SrTiO3), respectively, to introduce visible-light sensitivity. Under irradiation with only visible light from a 420-nm LED lamp, the simultaneous liberation of hydrogen and oxygen with a molar ratio of ~2:1 was achieved with these two types of photocatalysts in the presence of iodate ion/iodide ion as a redox mediator.

Germination environments for controlling the root emergence of germinated brown rice(GBR) were examined. The bench-scale cultures of 2 types for GBR production, including high dissolved oxygen (H-DO) operation and intermediate dissolved oxygen (HL-DO) operation were operated. Growth viability was good, and germination ratios were more than 90% for all the tests. Homogeneous sprouting control was successful. The forms of GBR were found uniformity. However, for H-DO operation, root emergence and elongation were observed. Rooting ratios in HL-DO operation were affected by the level of liquid recirculation and the ratio of the volume of rice and liquid.

This research aims to construct a two-dimensional image to represent an underwater geometry map with a Side Scan Sonar (SSS) mounted on a Hybrid Autonomous Underwater Glider (HAUG). Building the underwater map has two stages of the process. The first stage is preprocessing which includes Time-varying gains (TVG), slant range correction, and ground range correction. The second is HAUG navigation, the movement of HAUG orientation to the angle and distance of SSS readings and plotting the geometry of the grid map. With these two stages, a two-dimensional grid map will be formed. Meanwhile, the 3D plot utilizes slant range and ground range correction to obtain the surface height of the bottom of the pool. From the experiments conducted to conduct mapping in the pool, two-dimensional and three-dimensional visual forms of the pool floor and pool walls were produced. The results of the estimated measurement of the width of the pool obtained 14.05 meters and the height of the pool 3.199 meters with an SSS beam angle of 58 degrees.

Cross-spectral face recognition (CSFR), particularly in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) and visual (VIS) spectrum, presents challenges due to differences in illumination and sensor characteristics. NIR sensors are commonly used in practical applications, such as in nighttime outdoor surveillance systems, due to their ability to capture images in low light conditions and at various standoff distances. This study proposes a simple CSFR method that combines deep learning techniques with photometric normalization using Homomorphic Filtering (HF) to identify subjects in NIR images across different standoff distances. Both NIR and VIS images are filtered to mitigate illumination discrepancies. A deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model is employed to automatically extract discriminative deep features from the normalized images of both spectrums. Four deep CNN models of ResNet-50, DenseNet, EfficientNet, and MobileNetV2 are tested. The performance of the models in feature extraction for CSFR is evaluated on the LDHF (Long Distance Heterogeneous Face) database. The Hamming distance metric is employed to match NIR probe images with VIS gallery images. The experimental findings, expressed in recognition rate RR, demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in enhancing CSFR accuracy, with MobileNetV2 achieving the highest accuracy of 90% for a short standoff. In addition, HF improves image quality, enhancing the deep learning model's ability to discern image characteristics.
