Here, the facile synthesis of four‐length‐scaled (ultramicro‐micro‐meso‐macroporous) hierarchically structured porous carbon nanocomposite by an emulsion‐template strategy is reported. This previously unreported combination of zeolite nanocrystals embedded in the walls of microcellular carbon foams gives unique textural and structural properties, which result in their excellent ability to selectively capture CO2 owing to the presence of ultra‐micropores. The zeolite–microcellular carbon foam synergism delivers an adsorbent with a significantly enhanced CO2 capture capacity of up to 5 mmol g−1, CO2/N2 selectivity of up to 80, and an outstanding multi‐cycle capture performance under humid conditions (70 % performance retention after 30 regeneration cycles). More impressively, the electrically conductive carbon framework enables Joule heating and cooling, and thus fast and energy‐efficient regeneration is possible, with an estimated energy consumption of only about 12 kWh.
In wireless local area networks (WLANs) compliant with the IEEE 802.11n standard, channel state information (CSI) is known to embed information about the surrounding environment, including the positions and movements of people. So far, this information has been inferred by exploiting certain temporal and spectral features of the related WLAN signals. In this letter, their multifractal, i.e. structural properties are examined by means of detrended fluctuation analysis. Preliminary results support the claims that (a) CSI traces exhibit multifractal properties and (b) these are influenced by human presence and activity/posture within the room.
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.
