Super-resolution DOA estimation based on sparse spectrum fitting
Dianzi Jishu Yingyong, 2019 The ambient noise at any two different sensors, in practice, may correlate with each other, and the spatial distribution of ambient noise intensity may be directional because of wind and shipping noise sources. A linear harmonic noise model is considered

Catechol Derivative‐Based Bioadhesives: Molecular Design for Precision Medical Adhesion
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study utilizes tree‐inspired side‐chain engineering to graft five catechol derivatives onto PVA, systematically revealing how side‐chain length and substituents regulate adhesion and cohesion properties. Among them, the PVA‐CA patch demonstrates superior tissue adhesion, biocompatibility, and promotes regeneration, establishing a programmable ...
