Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for accurately, efficiently, and flexibly generating harmonized digital images utilizing a self-supervised image harmonization neural network. In particular, the disclosed systems can implement, and learn parameters for, a self-supervised image harmonization neural network to extract content from one digital image (disentangled from its appearance) and appearance from another from another digital image (disentangled from its content). For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a dual data augmentation method to generate diverse triplets for parameter learning (including input digital images, reference digital images, and pseudo ground truth digital images), via cropping a digital image with perturbations using three-dimensional color lookup tables (“LUTs”).

Abstract: A grafted polypropylene resin is prepared by a grafting reaction of a polar monomer capable of absorbing microwave so as to raise its temperature in a microwave field to more than 200° C. and a solid polypropylene resin using microwave irradiation without adding an initiator. The polar grafted polypropylene resin that does not contain initiator residues and does not have a significant reduction in molecular mass compared with a resin before grafting is obtained.

Abstract: A continuous operation method is employed for the microwave high-temperature pyrolysis of a solid material containing an organic matter. The method includes the steps of mixing a solid material containing an organic matter with a liquid organic medium; transferring the obtained mixture to a microwave field; and in the microwave field, continuously contacting the mixture with a strong wave absorption material in an inert atmosphere or in vacuum. The strong wave absorption material continuously generates a high temperature under a microwave such that the solid material containing an organic matter and the liquid organic medium are continuously pyrolyzed to implement a continuous operation.
