Photoinduced Synthesis of Hierarchical Flower-Like Ag/Bi2WO6 Microspheres as an Efficient Visible Light Photocatalyst by Shuisheng Wu, Nianyuan Tan, Donghui Lan, Bing Yi

“…A series of three-dimensional microflower-like Ag/Bi2WO6 composites were synthesized through a simple and practical photoreduction process with different photoreduction times. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra indicate that the spectrum of Ag/Bi2WO6 is significantly red-shifted compared to pure Bi2WO6 microspheres in the visible light region. …”

Availability evaluation method for extended epidemic model and Markov chain based IoT by Xiaotong YE, Wenfei SUN, Shigen SHEN

“…To reflect the availability status of the Internet of things (IoT) under malware diffusion, an availability evaluation method of IoT based on the extended epidemic model SEIRD and Markov chain was proposed.According to actual states of IoT nodes, the classic epidemic model SIR was extended to establish the node state transition model SEIRD.From the dynamic change process of each state of IoT nodes, the dynamic probability equations of IoT nodes belonging to five states were constructed, the Markov matrix reflecting the state transition was obtained, and an availability calculation method of an IoT node was achieved.Taking typical star and cluster IoT topologies as examples, the availability evaluation methods of the whole IoT with different topologies were given.Experiments provide suggestions for administrators how to reasonably deploy the number of normal working nodes and routes.The research results have theoretical significance for improving IoT availability and promoting the successful IoT applications.…”
