✦ Synopsis

Since handwritten characters vary, we need to develop a measure that reflects the degree of variation for a given set of character data. This paper first defines four properties -boundedness, independency, monotonicity and constancy --which such a variation measure is required to have. We show that none of the variation measures previously proposed satisfy all these properties. Then a new variation measure, called Average Entropy Difference, is proposed. We show that the new variation measure satisfies all four properties. Finally, in order to see how different those variation measures including the proposed one are, the values of the measures were calculated for various artificially generated data. The calculated results support well our theoretical analysis.

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sens

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sensors with different stoichiometric compositions was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal-desorption mass spectroscopy observations combined with conductivity measurements. Three different types of film with different atomic ratios of Cd/S were used in the study of oxygen chemisorption in a low-temperature range between 300 and 570 K. Spray pyrolysis was used for the deposition of the films on glass substrates; XPS and energy dispersive spectroscopy of X-ray together with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the composition and structure of the films. It was possible to distinguish different temperature ranges for the thermal desorption of the different adsorbed oxygen species. A comparison of the data from XPS and mass-spectroscopy observations with conductance measurements allows to conclude that metallic surface atoms are responsible for different interactions of oxygen species with CdS surfaces.
