Determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in environmental standard reference materials

Standard reference materials (SRMs) are valuable tools in developing and validating analytical methods to improve quality assurance standards. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a long history of providing environmental SRMs with certified concentrations of organic and inorganic contaminants. Here we report on new certified and reference concentrations for 27 polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners in seven different SRMs: cod-liver oil, whale blubber, fish tissue (two materials), mussel tissue and sediment (two materials). PBDEs were measured in these SRMs, with the lowest concentrations measured in mussel tissue (SRM 1974b) and the highest in sediment collected from the New York/New Jersey Waterway (SRM 1944). Comparing the relative PBDE congener concentrations within the samples, we found the biota SRMs contained primarily tetrabrominated and pentabrominated diphenyl ethers, whereas the sediment SRMs contained primarily decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 209). The cod-liver oil (SRM 1588b) and whale blubber (SRM 1945) materials were also found to contain measurable concentrations of two methoxylated PBDEs (MeO-BDEs). Certified and reference concentrations are reported for 12 PBDE congeners measured in the biota SRMs and reference values are available for two MeO-BDEs. Results from a sediment interlaboratory comparison PBDE exercise are available for the two sediment SRMs (1941b and 1944).     

消偏光纤陀螺的理论和实验研究

本文首次在理论上导出消偏型光纤陀螺的零漂和标度因子表达式,并得出以下两个结论:1)在使用约 40 dB偏振器时,导致陀螺漂移的主要因素是强度误差而并不是振幅误差;2)由光学标度因子与各种器件参量关系表明开环解调时陀螺的线性误差较大.试验样机证明了以上结果,并找出减小漂移的方法.     

Using freezing and drying techniques of emulsions for the microencapsulation of fish oil to improve oxidation stability

Epidemiological investigations show that n-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have a protective effect with respect to coronary heart disease. For a long time fish oil has been known as a source of PUFA. The successful incorporation of fish oil into the normal food components offers an opportunity to increase the intake of PUFA, but fish oil has to be protected against oxidation preferably by microencapsulation. The high temperatures during the traditional spray-drying microencapsulation process lead to an increased oxidation of the PUFA. The authors demonstrate the application of a freeze-drying technique with respect to the production of dried microencapsulated fish oil with high quality and oxidation stability. The influence of emulsion parameters, freezing parameters and formulation on the stability of a dried fish oil emulsion is presented and illustrated. The used procedure gave a product with a good oxidation stability which is available as pellets or powder. It was found that the stability was mainly influenced by the freezing rate and the used encapsulation carbohydrate, whereby the powder showed a better shelf life than the pellets. Concluding, it can be summarized that the production of microencapsulated fish oil by freezing and subsequent freeze-drying offers an opportunity to achieve a product with a good oxidation stability.

可见/近红外光谱图像在作物病害检测中的应用

农作物病害严重影响了我国正常的农业生产,现代农业迫切需要快速、准确、高效的作物病害诊断方法。首先简单介绍了常用病害检测技术,如：聚合酶链式反应技术、人工感官判定技术、统计学方法等,这些方法或是比较费时、或是只能用于产生明显病斑后的病害诊断,而光谱技术在植物病害的快速检测方面有一定的潜力,目前已有大量的研究成果。主要围绕可见/近红外光谱图像在病害检测的应用展开分析和讨论,讨论了该技术所涉及的仪器,并从细胞、植物组织、冠层及更大尺度层面分析了该技术在病害检测中的现况。目前大部分与植物病害有关的可见/近红外光谱研究都以植物叶片为对象,而在更小尺度（细胞至显微尺度）和更大尺度（冠层至航空/航天遥感方面）上的研究较少,特别是单细胞级别的病害研究,只在动物细胞领域展开,而且以荧光、拉曼、红外光谱为主。可见/近红外在以植物叶片为主要研究对象的器官尺度上有大量的成功应用,目前的研究已涉及了大部分的常见作物及其主要病害,包括真菌性、细菌性等各种病原引起的病害的检测。植物叶片尺度的研究主要从以下三个方面展开：(1）基于计算机图像处理和模式识别的病害信息自动快速判断;(2）基于化学计量学方法的高光谱或高光谱图像病害程度模型;(3）建立与作物病害有关的叶片某些理化参数的光谱模型,从而量化病害的程度。在植物叶片这一尺度相关研究的主要问题是：研究过于碎片化,往往只研究了某一种或少数几种病害,所建的模型只能用于特定实验条件,无法直接自动判断任意田间样本的染病种类与程度。在近地冠层尺度,植株的三维形态对光谱模型有较大的干扰,有文献表明以植株近地冠层2D图像作为病害检测数据,偏差较大,所建模型不稳定,基于卫星影像的病害模型较少。还讨论了常用光谱及光谱图像建模与分类方法。目前可见/近红外光谱在农作物病害方面有一定的应用潜力,但存在研究内容的不平衡、研究系统性不够、各学科合作研究不够深入等几大问题。最后提出可见/近红外光谱在病害检测领域中应更注重多学科的深入合作,并急需相关的仪器设备、方法模型方面的突破。     

Static and dynamic behaviour of nonlocal elastic bar using integral strain-based and peridynamic models

The static and dynamic behaviour of a nonlocal bar of finite length is studied in this paper. The nonlocal integral models considered in this paper are strain-based and relative displacement-based nonlocal models; the latter one is also labelled as a peridynamic model. For infinite media, and for sufficiently smooth displacement fields, both integral nonlocal models can be equivalent, assuming some kernel correspondence rules. For infinite media (or finite media with extended reflection rules), it is also shown that Eringen's differential model can be reformulated into a consistent strain-based integral nonlocal model with exponential kernel, or into a relative displacement-based integral nonlocal model with a modified exponential kernel. A finite bar in uniform tension is considered as a paradigmatic static case. The strain-based nonlocal behaviour of this bar in tension is analyzed for different kernels available in the literature. It is shown that the kernel has to fulfil some normalization and end compatibility conditions in order to preserve the uniform strain field associated with this homogeneous stress state. Such a kernel can be built by combining a local and a nonlocal strain measure with compatible boundary conditions, or by extending the domain outside its finite size while preserving some kinematic compatibility conditions. The same results are shown for the nonlocal peridynamic bar where a homogeneous strain field is also analytically obtained in the elastic bar for consistent compatible kinematic boundary conditions at the vicinity of the end conditions. The results are extended to the vibration of a fixed–fixed finite bar where the natural frequencies are calculated for both the strain-based and the peridynamic models.     

Particle mixing rates using the two-fluid model

In this work, a new methodology is introduced to calculate the solids mixing rate in dense gas-fluidized beds using the two-fluid model. The implementation of this methodology into an existing two-fluid model code was carefully verified. The solids phase continuity equation was satisfied using our method, and the sensitivity of the computational results to the time step, computational cell size, and discretization scheme was investigated to determine the optimal simulation settings. Using these simulation settings, the degree of solids mixing was observed to rapidly (exponentially) increase with increasing operating pressure and linearly decrease with increasing bed diameter. Our novel methodology can be applied to analyze mixing processes in large lab-scale beds as an alternative to existing time-consuming simulation techniques such as computational fluid dynamics combined with the discrete element model.     

基于中温黑体的近红外光纤光谱仪辐射定标的方法研究

中温黑体是红外谱段常用的高精度辐射标尺设备,而近红外是处于其有效辐射范围边缘的谱段,所以该谱段的定标研究相对较少。研究了基于中温黑体的近红外光纤光谱仪辐射定标方法,主旨是探讨定标精度如何受定标模型的结构参数选择的影响,进而为近红外光谱辐射计量溯源提供技术参考。采用50～1 050 ℃的可调中温黑体对近红外光纤光谱仪(950～1 700 nm)进行辐射定标。针对定标的关键环节重点讨论了两个内容,首先是辐射传输模型的几何因子匹配问题,比较分析了传统的双圆盘辐射传输模型和光纤直接耦合模型。对于光纤光谱仪的辐射定标来讲,采用光纤直接耦合形式的辐射传输模型,结构上更简单,耦合效率更高。其次重点分析了辐射定标中模型的结构参数对定标精度的影响,其影响的原因是定标数据本身属性中的尺度结构特征,即通常所说的非线性问题。因此对于定标精度要求较高时,需要采用非线性定标模型进行校正,并尽可能保证测试点采样的尺度均衡,这是小样本数据解释非线性结构关系时无法回避的样本选择问题。数据分析结果表明,定标方程的不同结构参数的选择策略对定标精度有显著影响,校正方程的样本残差标准差带变化范围为±0.1%～±1%。
