Numerous applications exist requiring power for small loads (<5W) with minimal mass operating in extreme ambient conditions. Making progress toward reducing stack mass, we investigate the influence of flow field channel depth and endplate compression on cell performance. The best performance was found at endplate compressions of 139 psi, cathode channel depths of 0.032 in and anode channel depths of 0.032 in. The maximum power mass-density achieved with these 4.84 cm2 cells was 16.8 mW/g in a single cell stack. If deployed in a multicell stack, this same performance would translate to a power mass-density of 45.3 mW/g, nearing the performance of off-the-shelf lithium ion batteries (approximately 70 mW/g).

With the development of computer vision, attention mechanisms have been widely studied. Although the introduction of an attention module into a network model can help to improve e classification performance on remote sensing scene images, the direct introduction of an attention module can increase the number of model parameters and amount of calculation, resulting in slower model operations. To solve this problem, we carried out the following work. First, a channel attention module and spatial attention module were constructed. The input features were enhanced through channel attention and spatial attention separately, and the features recalibrated by the attention modules were fused to obtain the features with hybrid attention. Then, to reduce the increase in parameters caused by the attention module, a group-wise hybrid attention module was constructed. The group-wise hybrid attention module divided the input features into four groups along the channel dimension, then used the hybrid attention mechanism to enhance the features in the channel and spatial dimensions for each group, then fused the features of the four groups along the channel dimension. Through the use of the group-wise hybrid attention module, the number of parameters and computational burden of the network were greatly reduced, and the running time of the network was shortened. Finally, a lightweight convolutional neural network was constructed based on the group-wise hybrid attention (LCNN-GWHA) for remote sensing scene image classification. Experiments on four open and challenging remote sensing scene datasets demonstrated that the proposed method has great advantages, in terms of classification accuracy, even with a very low number of parameters.

Aims: To model molecular signal propagation in confined environment. Background: Molecular communication (MC) is rooted in the concepts of understanding, modeling, and engineering information exchange among naturally and artificially synthesized nanosystems. To develop or analyze an MC system, there is the need to model the communication channel through which the molecular signal diffuse, from the transmitter to the receiver. Many models for the diffusion-based MC channel have been proposed in the literature for evaluating the performance of MC systems. Most of the contemporary works assume, and rightly so for some scenarios, that the MC channels under consideration have infinite boundaries. However, this assumption becomes invalid in bounded domains such as the interiors of natural cells and artificially synthesized nanosystems. Objective: In this paper, the model of molecular propagation in a confined. microenvironment is employ to explore the effect of such an environment on the MC system. Method: The mutual information of the channel and specifically the closed-form expression of the channel capacity of the molecular signaling in the confined geometry is derive. Result: Numerical results showing the variation in the channel capacity as the function of the channel dimension are presented. Conclusion: Results showed that the channel capacity increases with the decrease in the channel dimension. Subsequently, as the dimension of the channel tends to the nanoscale range typical of many artificially synthesized nanosystems, the effect of the channel width on the capacity and by induction on many other system metrics increases.
