Acoustically dependent latency shifts of BSER (wave V) in man

The latencies of wave V in Brain Stem Evoked Responses (BSER) elicited by a set of acoustic transients were measured. The stimuli were produced by delivering pulses to two filters, arranged in series. The filters were set so that the maximum acoustic energy in the transients, i.e., filtered clicks, occurred at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, or 8 kHz. The filtered clicks were presented via earphones at a rate of 30/s at 20, 40, or 60 dB HL to ten subjects with normal hearing. The latencies of wave V varied systematically with center frequency of the filtered clicks when they were each at the same HL. Stimuli presented at 40 dB HL produced the greatest opportunity for relating stimulus frequency to latency. The latencies for a smaller set of responses to stimuli presented at 10/s were the same as those for the principal data taken at 30/s. The changes in latency of wave V due to frequency are similar to those observed by other investigators in whole-nerve responses recorded in man.

滨海公共空间是滨海城市人居环境的重要组成部分,其声环境质量是影响公共空间环境体验的关键因素。本研究以青岛沿海岸线四类滨海公共空间（步道类、广场类、公园类、沙滩类）的声环境为对象,通过问卷调查和实地测量探索滨海公共空间声环境的特征、感知评价及其影响因素。结果表明：（1）滨海公共空间当前环境噪声水平基本不超过国家标准限值55dB(A) ,各类空间声环境客观特征显著不同：公园噪声水平最低,自然声源丰富;广场噪声水平最高,各种城市噪声较多;步道噪声水平较低,但受到交通噪声的影响;沙滩噪声水平较高,但以中低频的海浪声为主,比较稳定。（2）各类滨海公共空间的声源感知以自然声为主,但是广场的自然声源感知较少。此外,声环境的愉悦感评价普遍较高,但在事件感、吵闹度和总体满意度评价上具有显著差异：沙滩声环境总体评价最好,其次是公园,广场和步道的声环境则亟待改善。（3）交通噪声和最大声级Lmax对声环境的负面影响最为显著,此外受访者年龄也是影响滨海公共空间声环境感知评价的关键因素。研究结论可以为滨海公共空间声环境的优化设计提供理论依据。     

COMPARISON OF COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE IN JAPAN AND SWEDEN—PART I: OUTLINE OF SURVEYS AND DOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIPS

To investigate cross-cultural differences in the community response to road traffic noise, social surveys were conducted in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Kumamoto and Sapporo, Japan, using the same questionnaire and noise measurement method. Typical residential areas with detached houses and apartments were selected as the target areas in each city. The questionnaire comprised 40 questions relating to environmental, housing and personal factors. The key questions concerned annoyance caused by road traffic noise. The total numbers of respondents were 1142 in Gothenburg, 837 in Kumamoto and 780 in Sapporo. The response rates were 68·8, 69·3 and 57·5% respectively. After the questionnaires were completed, noise measurements were made in each area. Community responses were compared on the basis of the dose-response relationships. There were no systematic differences between community responses in Sapporo and Kumamoto, which have the same culture. People living in detached houses in Gothenburg were more annoyed by the same road traffic noise than the people living in Japanese cities. There were no systematic differences among the three cities with regard to activity disturbances indoors, but significant disturbance of activities and resting in gardens or on balconies was noted in Gothenburg. The difference in activity disturbance was due to the differences between lifestyles in the two countries. People living in detached houses were more annoyed by the house vibration caused by road traffic than those living in apartments and people were annoyed by the exhaust from road traffic to the same extent as noise.

Mechanisms of fine-surface-texture discrimination in human tactile sensation

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of touch to discriminate fine-surface textures and to suggest possible mechanisms of the discriminations. Two experiments were performed. In experiment 1, aluminum-oxide abrasive papers were adopted as stimuli, and psychometric functions and difference thresholds were determined in fine-surface-texture discrimination tasks. The grit values of abrasive papers were 400, 600, 1200, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 8000; corresponding average particle sizes were 40, 30, 12, 9, 5, 3, and 1 micron, respectively. Ten subjects participated in experiment 1. The difference thresholds obtained in experiment 1 were between 2.4 and 3.3 microns. In experiment 2, the tasks were discriminations of ridge height. The cross sections of the etched ridges were rectangular and the ridge heights were 6.3, 7.0, 8.6, 10.8, 12.3, 18.5, and 25.0 microns. Six subjects participated in experiment 2. The difference thresholds in experiment 2 were between 0.95 and 2.0 microns. It was reasoned, based on the Weber fraction values calculated from the difference thresholds and on the limit of neural information-processing ability of humans, that the subjects discriminate fine roughness only from the amplitude information presented in surface unevenness.     

Evaluating damage in smart composite laminates using embedded EFPI strain sensors

Extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) strain sensors (SSs) were assessed for their sensing capacity and survivability via surface mounting and interior embedment in the carbon/epoxy beams. Artificial delaminations of two different sizes were used to simulate delamination. The embedded EFPI-SSs along with surface-mounted SGs were used to evaluate the effect of the delaminations on bending stiffness induced by quasi-static loading on a comparative basis. The linear responses of EFPI-SSs up to a bending strain of 0.5% were in good agreement with the interpolated strains of surface strain measurements. The embedded EFPI-SSs were able to differentiate the effect of the tensile delaminations on bending stiffness. The interior strain data from embedded EFPI-SSs were shown to be very useful to extrapolate the strain difference on both sides of the delaminations as well as deducing local stresses.     

The use of models in "target" theory to evaluate the survival curves of human ovarian carcinoma cell line exposure to adriamycin combined with ultrasound

The models of "target" theory in radiation biology were used to evaluate the survival curves of human ovarian carcinoma cell line after exposure to adriamycin combined with ultrasound. 3AO cells were exposed to adriamycin in group ADR, to adriamycin after ultrasound exposure in group US+ADR, and to adriamycin prior to insonation in group ADR+US. The cell survival was determined by a clonogenic assay. The dose-response curves were fitted to two models, (1) single-hit, single-target model, (2) single-hit, multi-target model. The single-hit, multi-target model could fit the survival curve in group ADR, but it could only describe the survivals in groups US+ADR and ADR+US while the concentration of adriamycin was less than 0.05 mug/ml. These suggested that the single-hit, multi-target model could be conditionally used to describe the survival while cells were exposed to the combination of adriamycin and acoustic exposure. The models also were tools to understand the potentiation attributable to insonation.     

NLOphoric Red Emitting Bis Coumarins with O-BF<Subscript>2</Subscript>-O core - Synthesis,Photophysical Properties and DFT Studies

The red emitting dyes were synthesized by employing coumarin core as a donor and boron-bonded coumarin as an acceptor. 7-(N,N-Diethylamino)-coumarin 3-aldehyde was reacted with 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-coumarin, 7-(N,N-diethylamino)-3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-coumarin and 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-quinolone to form the corresponding chalcones. The synthesized chalcones were though red shifted as compared to the parent coumarin, and were not emitting in red region. The BF₂-complexation was used as a tool to introduce a red shift in the molecules. The BF₂-complexes synthesized were found to be red emitting and show higher one photon absorption cross section. The solvatochromism shown by these dyes was studied in the light of solvent polarity parameters. DFT calculations were used to understand the photophysical properties of the synthesized dyes. NLO properties of the dyes were estimated by solvatochromic and computational methods. All the molecules synthesized were characterised with the HRMS and NMR spectral Analysis.     

Synthesis and Properties of Diphenylcarbazole Triphenylethylene Derivatives with Aggregation-Induced Emission, Blue Light Emission and High Thermal Stability

New aggregation-induced emission materials derived from diphenylcarbazole triphenylethylene were prepared. The thermal, photophysical, electrochemical and aggregation-induced emissive properties were investigated. All the compounds had strong blue light emission capability and excellent thermal stability. Their maximum fluorescence emission wavelengths were between 450 to 460 nm in TLC plates, while their glass transition temperatures ranged from 162.2 to 182.4 °C. The decomposition temperatures of the synthesized compounds were all well over 500 °C. The synthesized compounds possessed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, which exhibited enhanced fluorescence emissions in aggregation states or in solid states. The HOMO energy levels estimated from the oxidation potentials were found in the range from 5.49 to5.52 eV. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital/highest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO/HOMO) energy gaps (ΔEg) for the compounds were estimated from the onset absorption wavelengths of UV absorption spectra and ranged from 3.04 to 3.20 eV.

Hydrophobization of cotton fabric by Gliding Arc plasma discharge

The surface modification in order to obtain hydrophobic cotton fabrics was carried out using air/HMDSO Gliding Arc plasma discharge. The dependence of the surface wettability on used process parameters, such as air flow, sample distance and treatment time were investigated. The wettability of cotton fabrics was evaluated by the drop test method by measuring the time of droplet absorption and water contact angle (WCA). The changes in the surface morphology were examined by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The treated hydrophobic fabrics were subjected to the analysis of chemical composition of the applied coatings using the ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Hydrophobic cotton fabrics were obtained, especially with a high resistance to static wetting. In addition, the treated cotton fabrics were tested using a spray test measurement and were subjected to multiple washing.     

An analysis of runs tests as indicators of nonstatistical structure in the compound nucleus

Runs tests were applied to computer-generated elastic-scattering excitation functions in order to examine their sensitivity to nonstatistical structure in the compound nucleus. The scattering amplitudes were either purely statistical or else they included contributions from additional resonances about 1 MeV broad. Our aim was to determine whether the runs tests could distinguish between the two cases. The tests were successful once trends producing correlations between the datum points were removed. Spurious nonstatistical effects were thus eliminated, demonstrating that if the trend-reduction problem is dealt with propertly, runs tests are effective in searches for nonstatistical structure beneath the compound-nucleus fluctuations in experimental excitation functions.     

Laser-induced damage characteristic of porous alumina optical films

Pure aluminum films were deposited on B270 glass by electron beam evaporation technique. The aluminum films, which were used as anode, were placed in phosphoric acid to prepare porous alumina films using a two-step anodization method. They were subsequently annealed in high temperature to improve transmission. The microstructure, transmitted spectrum and laser damage characteristics of the alumina films were then tested. Their microstructure formed in phosphoric acid was retiform. The transmissivity can be increased efficiently if the annealing temperature is adequately high. The laser-damaged spots of the porous films were formed by innumerable small damaged pits with no mutual effect. In contrast, the laser-damaged spots of the compact films were formed by several larger damaged pits which acted together toward expansion. The damage process of the porous films comprised heat ablation and stress fracture.

Modification to Nagle/Strickland-Constable model with consideration of soot nanostructure effects

The oxidation rates of diesel soot from the combustion chamber of a running diesel engine were calculated based on the particle size distributions at different crank angles. The primary particle diameter and nanostructure of soot were obtained by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The soot characteristics were also investigated by oxidative thermogravimetry and Raman scattering spectrometry.

The results showed the soot nanostructures were dependent on engine operation conditions and combustion phases. The oxidation rates were found to differ by nearly fourfold from that calculated by the Nagle/Strickland-Constable (NSC) model for the soots studied here. The varied oxidation rates were interpreted in terms of differences in nanostructure between the soots. The experimental results were used to modify the NSC model and the fringe length of in-cylinder diesel soot was chosen to describe the influence of graphitisation on the oxidation of soot. The modified NSC model lessened the deviation between measurements and predictions.     

Properties of the Ce–Pd–Pt(111) overlayer system

The Pd–Pt(111) and the Ce–Pd–Pt(111) overlayer systems were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). Variations in the work function were measured by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The Pd overlayer thicknesses were in the range of 1 to 4 monolayers (MLs). The Ce overlayer thicknesses were in the range is of 0.5 to 1.5 MLs. The interfaces were studied for annealing temperatures up to 700°C. Surface alloying or intermixing of Ce, Pd and Pt was observed. Upon deposition at ambient temperatures, Ce forms an overlayer. During annealing, both Pd and Ce were found to dissolve into the Pt substrate. For a Pd coverage of about 1 ML, the Ce–Pd–Pt(111) system was found to be Pt, terminated after annealing to 700°C. For Pd coverage above 1 ML, both Pd and Pt were found to be present at the surface. Cerium was found to be absent from the top surface layer in both cases.
