    Abstract This paper introduces a simple yet powerful channel augmentation for visible-infrared re-identification. Most existing augmentation operations designed for single-modality visible images do not fully consider the imagery properties in visible to infrared matching. Our basic idea is to homogeneously generate color-irrelevant images by randomly exchanging the color channels. It can be seamlessly integrated into existing augmentation operations, consistently improving the robustness against color variations. For cross-modality metric learning, we design an enhanced channel-mixed learning strategy to simultaneously handle the intra- and cross-modality variations with squared difference for stronger discriminability. Besides, a weak-and-strong augmentation joint learning strategy is further developed to explicitly optimize the outputs of augmented images, which mutually integrates the channel augmented images (strong) and the general augmentation operations (weak) with consistency regularization. Furthermore, by conducting the label association between the channel augmented images and infrared modalities with modality-specific clustering, a simple yet effective unsupervised learning baseline is designed, which significantly outperforms existing unsupervised single-modality solutions. Extensive experiments with insightful analysis on two visible-infrared recognition tasks show that the proposed strategies consistently improve the accuracy. Without auxiliary information, the Rank-1/mAP achieves 71.48%/68.15% on the large-scale SYSU-MM01 dataset.

    Abstract Matching hand-drawn sketches with photos (a.k.a sketch-photo recognition or re-identification) faces the information asymmetry challenge due to the abstract nature of the sketch modality. Existing works tend to learn shared embedding spaces with CNN models by discarding the appearance cues for photo images or introducing GAN for sketch-photo synthesis. The former unavoidably loses discriminability, while the latter contains ineffaceable generation noise. In this paper, we start the first attempt to design an information-aligned sketch transformer (SketchTrans

    Abstract Visible-infrared person re-identification (VI-ReID) is a cross-modality retrieval problem, which aims at matching the same pedestrian between the visible and infrared cameras. Due to the existence of pose variation, occlusion, and huge visual differences between the two modalities, previous studies mainly focus on learning image-level shared features. Since they usually learn a global representation or extract uniformly divided part features, these methods are sensitive to misalignments. In this paper, we propose a structure-aware positional transformer (SPOT) network to learn semantic-aware sharable modality features by utilizing the structural and positional information. It consists of two main components: attended structure representation (ASR) and transformer-based part interaction (TPI). Specifically, ASR models the modality-invariant structure feature for each modality and dynamically selects the discriminative appearance regions under the guidance of the structure information. TPI mines the part-level appearance and position relations with a transformer to learn discriminative part-level modality features. With a weighted combination of ASR and TPI, the proposed SPOT explores the rich contextual and structural information, effectively reducing cross-modality difference and enhancing the robustness against misalignments. Extensive experiments indicate that SPOT is superior to the state-of-the-art methods on two cross-modal datasets. Notably, the Rank-1/mAP value on the SYSU-MM01 dataset has improved by 8.43%/6.80%.

    Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials with nontrivial topological states have drawn considerable attention recently. Among them, 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are standing out due to their advantages, such as the easy synthesis in practice and less sensitivity to oxidation that are distinctly different from inorganic materials. By means of density-functional theory calculations, we systematically investigate the electronic and topological properties of a class of 2D MOFs X(C21H15N3) (X = transition metal element from 3d to 5d). Excitingly, we find that X(C21H15N3) (X = Ti, Zr, Ag, Au) are Chern insulators with sizable band gaps (~7.1 meV). By studying a four-band effective model, it is revealed that the Chern insulator phase in X(C21H15N3) (X = Ti, Zr, Ag, Au) is caused cooperatively by the band inversion of the p orbitals of the C21H15N3 molecule and the intrinsic ferromagnetism of X(C21H15N3). Additionally, Mn(C21H15N3) is a Dirac half-metal ferromagnet with a high Curie temperature up to 156 K. Our work demonstrates that 2D MOFs X(C21H15N3) are good platforms for realizing Quantum anomalous Hall effect and designing novel spintronic devices based on half-metals with high-speed and long-distance spin transport.

    Abstract Recently, the topological nature of an antiferromagnet YbMnBi2 has been controversial. YbMnBi2 is regarded as a candidate of Type-II Weyl semimetals with magnetic moments of Mn atoms canting about 10{\deg} in some studies but as a Dirac semimetal without canting in others. By means of systematical density functional theory calculations, we show the perfect YbMnBi2 bulk has a collinear antiferromagnetic ordering and, naturally, it is a Dirac semimetal. Considering the vital role of magnetic moment canting in generating the Type-II Weyl state, we artificially cant the magnetic moments of Mn atoms and find that YbMnBi2 enters into the Type-II Weyl state from about 2{\deg}. Inspired by this and taking into account the possible defects in experiments, we suggest that Bi vacancies in Mn-Bi-Mn bonds, which produce sizable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and thereby cant the magnetic moments of Mn atoms, can tune the topological nature of YbMnBi2 from Dirac semimetals to Type-II Weyl semimetals. Our work unveils the possible underlying mechanism for the Type-II Weyl state in YbMnBi2, providing insights into the Weyl state in other magnetic topological materials.

    Abstract Transition-metal honeycomb compounds are capturing scientific attention due to their distinctive electronic configurations, underscored by the triangular-lattice spin-orbit coupling and competition between multiple interactions, paving the way for potential manifestations of phenomena such as Dirac semimetal, superconductivity, and quantum spin liquid states. These compounds can undergo discernible pressure-induced alterations in their crystallographic and electronic paradigms, as exemplified by our high-pressure (HP) synthesis and exploration of the honeycomb polymorph of ReO3 (P6322). This HP-P6322 polymorph bears a phase transition from P6322 to P63/mmc upon cooling around Tp = 250 K, as evidenced by the evolution of temperature-dependent magnetization (M-T curves), cell dimension, and conductivity initiated by an inherent bifurcation of the oxygen position in the ab plane. Insightful analysis of its band structure positions suggests this HP-P6322 polymorph being a plausible candidate for Dirac semimetal properties. This phase transition evokes anomalies in the temperature-dependent variation of paramagnetism (non-linearity) and a crossover from semiconductor to temperature-independent metal, showing a temperature independent conductivity behavior below ~200 K. Under increasing external pressure, both the Tp and resistance of this HP-polymorph is slightly magnetic-field dependent and undergo a "V"-style evolution (decreasing and then increasing) before becoming pressure independent up to 20.2 GPa. Theoretical calculations pinpoint this anionic disorder as a probable catalyst for the decrement in the conductive efficiency and muted temperature-dependent conductivity response.

    Abstract We report a comprehensive high-pressure study on the antiferromagnetic topological insulator EuSn2As2 up to 21.1 GPa through measurements of synchrotron x-ray diffraction, electrical resistance, magnetic resistance, and Hall transports combined with first-principles calculations. No evident trace of a structural phase transition is detected. The Neel temperatures determined from resistance are increased from 24 to 77 K under pressure, which is resulted from the enhanced magnetic exchange couplings between Eu2+ ions yielded by our first-principles calculations. The negative magnetoresistance of EuSn2As2 persists to higher temperatures accordantly. However, the enhancement of the observed N\'eel temperatures deviates from the calculations obviously above 10.0 GPa. In addition, the magnitude of the magnetoresistance, the Hall coefficients, and the charge carrier densities show abrupt changes between 6.9 to 10.0 GPa. The abrupt changes probably originate from a pressure induced valence change of Eu ions from a divalent state to a divalent and trivalent mixed state. Our results provide insights into variation of the magnetism of EuSn2As2 and similar antiferromagnetic topological insulators under pressure.

    Abstract The work mainly presented a laboratory-scale investigation on an effective process to extract a value-added product from municipal excess sludge. The functional groups in the hydrolysate were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectrum, and the contained amino acids were measured by means of an automatic amino acid analyzer. The corrosion-inhibition characteristics of the hydrolysate were determined with weight-loss measurement, electrochemical polarization and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicated that the hydrolysate contained 15 kinds of amino acid, and their adsorption on the surface could effectively inhibit the corrosion reaction of the steel from the acid medium. Polarization curves indicated that the obtained hydrolysate was a mixed-type inhibitor, but mainly restricted metal dissolution on the anode. The adsorption accorded well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, involved an increase in entropy, and was a spontaneous, exothermic process.

    Abstract The present study focused on establishing a multi-habitat membrane bioreactor, as well as exploring its biodiversity and succession of microbial communities. In a long-term operational period (100 days), the dissolved oxygen level of a local zone within the bioreactor decreased consistently from the original oxic state to the final anaerobic state, which led to a continuous succession of the microbial community in the bioreactor. The results revealed that the biodiversity of the microbial community in different zones simultaneously increased, with a similar microbial composition in their final successional stage. The results also indicated that the dominant species during the whole operation were distributed among 6 major phyla. At the initial operational stages, the dominant species in the anoxic-anaerobic and the oxic zones exhibited distinguished difference, whereas at the final operational stage, both zones presented nearly the same dominant microbial species and a rather similar structure in their microbial communities.

    Abstract This work aims at revealing the adhesion characteristics and microbial community of the biofilm in an integrated moving bed biofilm reactor-membrane bioreactor, and further evaluating their variations over time. With multiple methods, the adhesion characteristics and microbial community of the biofilm on the carriers were comprehensively illuminated, which showed their dynamic variation along with the operational time. Results indicated that: (1) the roughness of biofilm on the carriers increased very quickly to a maximum value at the start-up stage, then, decreased to become a flat curve, which indicated a layer of smooth biofilm formed on the surface; (2) the tightly-bound protein and polysaccharide was the most important factor influencing the stability of biofilm; (3) the development of biofilm could be divided into three stages, and Gammaproteobacteria were the most dominant microbial species in class level at the last stage, which occupied the largest ratio (51.48%) among all microbes.
