Sound and weak shock wave propagation in gas-liquid foams

Propagation of sound and weak shock waves in gas-liquid foams is investigated theoretically and experimentally. An original physical model is developed to describe the evolution of small perturbations in a foam of polyhedral structure. The model developed takes into account both peculiarities of interface heat transfer in foam and liquid motion through the system of Plateau-Gibbs borders which results in the appearance of an additional hydrodynamic dissipative force. The Rayleigh equation analog, which takes into account the latter phenomenon, is obtained. Structure and dynamics of weak shock waves are investigated. A vertical shock tube was constructed and used to measure the parameters of weak shock wave propagation in gas-liquid foams of polyhedral structure. Spectral analysis of the data obtained shows that there are weak dispersion and strong dissipation of the initial signal. Comparison of the evolution of experimental and theoretical profiles permits to conclude that the suggested model allows to describe the peculiarities of acoustical perturbations in gas-liquid foam more precisely than it follows from the standard models.

Theoretical Analysis of the Biological Thermal Effect of Millimeter Waves in Layered-Dielectric-Slabs

The theory is presented for one method of determining the biological thermal effect of millimeter waves in microwave radiometry. It has been studied theoretically that millimeter waves propagation and absorption in a human body. The model is a plane straticulate homogeneous slab of tissues under the irradiance of normal incidence plane wave. It has been discussed by obtaining the electromagnetic field, absorbent power, specific absorption rate, temperature field and their distributions in the human trunk model. Also, the principle of thermal therapeutics of millimeter waves to cancer has been discussed preliminarily.     

铷蒸气密度对光抽运讯号的影响

在铷蒸气密度为1×10~(10)～3.4×10~(11)cm~(-3)的范围内,测量了光抽运讯号。随着密度的增加,讯号先是增大然后减小,并在密度为5.3×10~(10)cm~(-3)时达到最大值。当密度增加到26.7×10~(10)cm~(-3)时,讯号出现负值。     

Quantum chemical investigation on one- and two-photon absorption properties for a series of donor-π-acceptor-type compounds with trivalent boron as an acceptor

In this paper, one- and two-photon absorption properties as well as the transition nature of a series of donor-π-acceptor-type compounds with trivalent boron as an acceptor have been theoretically studied by using INDO/SDCI method. Our calculations indicate that the four o-methyl moieties on the two mesityl groups play an important part in protecting the trivalent boron from being attacked by oxygen in the air. The trivalent boron containing group can be an all-right electron-acceptor with some bulky groups attached to it. On the basis of geometry optimization and UV–vis spectra, the positions and strengths of two-photon absorption for these molecules were reported.     

Anomalous lateral beam shift and total absorption due to excitation of surface waves in materials with negative refraction

We studied electromagnetic beam reflection from layered structures that include materials with negative refraction. Excitation of leaky surface waves leads to the formation of anomalous lateral shifts in the reflected beams with single or double peak structures. The presence of reasonable losses within material with negative refraction, besides significant influence on manifestation of the giant lateral shifts, can lead to their total suppression and anomalously high absorption of the incident radiation. If, in addition to the resonant excitation of leaky surface waves, radiation inflow exactly compensates their irreversible damping, total absorption of the incoming radiation can be achieved for moderately wide beams.     

Preconcentration and Determination of Copper（Ⅱ） Using Octadecyl Silica Membrane Disks Modified by 1,5-Diphenylcarhazide and Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

A simple and reproducible method for the rapid extraction and determination of trace amounts of copper（Ⅱ） ions using octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks modified by 1,5-diphenylcarbazide （DPC） and atomic absorption spectrometry was presented, which was based on complex formation on the surface of the ENVI-18 DISK^TM disks followed by stripping of the retained species by minimum amounts of appropriate organic solvents. The elution was efficient and quantitative. The effect of potential interfering ions, pH, ligand amount, stripping solvent, and sample flow rate were also investigated. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the break-through volume was found to be about 1000 mL providing a preconcentration factor of 400. The maximum capacity of the disks was found to be （255±5） lag for Cu^2＋, and the limit of detection of the proposed method was 5 ng per 1000 mL. The method was applied to the extraction and recovery of copper in different water samples.     

Absorption spectra of the products of resorcin transformation in concentrated perchloric acid

Results of an investigation of the electronic absorption spectra of polymeric compounds spontaneously formed as a result of resorcin dissolution in 70% perchloric acid are reported. It is shown that acetone is the most convenient solvent for analytic purposes, since it allows specific detection of poly-m-phenylene oxide in a wide wavelength range.

Ionic alkyl-lead,tetra-alkyl-lead and total lead in fish from the Great Lakes

Fillets from a variety of fish species collected from Lakes Ontario, Superior and Erie, Canada, were examined for ionic alkyl-lead, tetra-alkyl-lead and total lead compounds. Diphenylthiocarbazone (dithizone)-derivatized extracts were collected at pH 8 and 9 for ionic alkyl-leads from enzymatically hydrolyzed samples. Butylated derivatives were formed prior to analysis by gas chromatography-atomic absorption spectrometry (GC AA). Tetra-alkyl-lead was extracted from the hydrolyzates with hexane. Most of the fillets contained low (<0.08–2 ng g^?1) levels of trimethyl-lead. Several samples contained triethyl-lead or tetraethyl-lead. Dimethyl-lead, diethyl-lead and tetramethyl-lead were detected by GC MS but were below the GC AA method detection limit of 0.06 ng g^?1, 0.09 ng g^?1 and 0.2 ng g^?1 respectively. Total lead levels were between <1.8 and 96.7 ng g^?1.
