MCM-41-SO 3 H, ordered mesoporous silica material MCM-41 with covalently anchored sulfonic acid groups located inside the mesochannels, was used as an acid catalyst for the rapid and 'green' synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives under solvent-free condition. This novel synthetic method offers several advantages, such as excellent yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, and mild reaction conditions.
Dimensional reduction methods have significantly improved the simplification of Pulsed Thermography (PT) data while improving the accuracy of the results. Such approaches reduce the quantity of data to analyze and improve the contrast of the main defects in the samples contributed to their popularity. Many works have been proposed in the literature mainly based on improving the Principal Component Thermography (PCT). Recently the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) has been a topic of attention. Many different approaches have been proposed in the literature to solve the ICA. In this paper, we investigated several recent ICA methods and evaluated their influence on PT data compared with the state-of-the-art methods. We conducted our evaluation on reference CFRP samples with known defects. We found that ICA outperform PCT for small and deep defects. For other defects ICA results are often not far from the results obtained by PCT. However, the frequency of acquisition and the ICA methods have a great influence on the results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
