ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrids have been fabricated by hydrothermal method using zinc nitrate and GO as raw materials. The photocatalytic properties of the prepared ZnO/rGO hybrids have been investigated toward the degradation of methylene blue, methylene orange and Rhodamine 6G upon UV light irradiation. Experimental results show that the prepared ZnO/rGO hybrids possessed highly stable and repeatable promising photocatalytic abilities. About 99% of the tested dyes were decomposed in the presence of ZnO/rGO hybrids after 30 minutes of UV light irradiation. The dramatically enhanced activity can be assigned to the low recombination probability of photogenerated carriers due to the efficient electron transfer Downloaded by [New York University] at 05:06 08 June 2015 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2from ZnO to rGO, which will enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species for dye degradation.
The working state of machinery can be reflected by vibration signals. Accurate classification of these vibration signals is helpful for the machinery fault diagnosis. A novel classification method for vibration signals, named Transform Domain Sparse Representation-based Classification (TDSRC), is proposed. The method achieves high classification accuracy by three steps. Firstly, time-domain vibration signals, including training samples and test samples, are transformed to another domain, e.g. frequency-domain, wavelet-domain etc. Then, the transform coefficients of the training samples are combined as a dictionary and the transform coefficients of the test samples are sparsely coded on the dictionary. Finally, the class label of the test samples is identified by their minimal reconstruction errors. Although the proposed method is very similar to the Sparse Representation-based Classification (SRC), experimental results illustrates its performance is far superior to SRC in the classification of vibration signals. These experiments include: frequency-domain classification of bearing vibration data from the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) Bearing Data Center and wavelet-domain classification of six fault-types gearbox vibration data from our rotating machinery experimental platform.
