() reaction studies of Dy and Hf

Angular distributions for the ¹⁶³Dy(t,p) and ¹⁷⁷Hf(t,p) reactions were measured using 17 MeV tritons from the McMaster University Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. Reaction products were analyzed with a magnetic spectrograph and detected with photographic emulsions. Favored L=0 transitions confirmed assignments of the 5/2⁻[523] band in ¹⁶⁵Dy and 7/2⁻[514] band in ¹⁷⁹Hf. Additional L=0 transitions in each nuclide identified previously unknown 5/2⁻ levels in ¹⁶⁵Dy and 7/2⁻ ones in ¹⁷⁹Hf. Overall trends of L=0 strengths support the existence of subshell closures at neutron numbers 98 and 108. On the basis of a relatively strong L=2 transition, the K^π=11/2⁻ γ-vibration based on the 7/2⁻[514] state is identified at 1689 keV in ¹⁷⁹Hf, about 440 keV above its previously-assigned K^π=3/2⁻ partner.     

Evidence of Dynamical Fluctuation of Target Residues in Relativistic Nuclear Interaction at 14.5 AGeV

An analysis of data of target fragments of ²⁸Si-AgBr (at 14.5 AGeV) reveals the existence of emission asymmetry in the azimuthal plane, which is found to depend on the number of target fragments. The comparison with the data of ³²S-AgBr (at 200 AGeV) and ¹⁶O-AgBr (at 60 AGeV) interactions indicates that emission asymmetry depends on the projectile mass and energy.     

焊接变形光学测量技术研究

针对薄板焊接变形测量难的问题,提出了一种非接触式三维光学实时测量薄板焊接变形的新方法。首先通过2个高分辨率高速数字相机从不同观察点同时拍摄物体运动的视频图像;然后运用三维重建技术,包括共线方程、基于共面方程的像片定向、直接线性变换解法、外极线几何约束和光束平差解法等重建待测标志点的三维坐标;最后依据同名点将不同时刻薄板的变形状态关联起来,计算出待观测点的焊接变形量,并实时绘制显示出变形曲线。与传统方法相比,该方法具有不受焊接温度及强烈干扰影响和实时、高效、高精度等优点。     

Die Gewinnung von trägerarmem 114mIn durch Szilard-Chalmers-Anroicherung aus den Metallphthalocyaninen

Unter Verwendung von Indiumphthalocyanin als Target wurde der Anreicherung von ^114mIn durch den Szilard-Chalmers-Prozeβ untersucht. Bei Bestrahlung in der Spaltzone des Kernreaktors gelang es, spezifische Aktivitäten zu erzielen, die ohne Anreicherung nur durch sehr lange Bestrahlungszeiten erreicht werden können. Die Abhängigkeit der spezifischen Aktivität der spezifischen Aktivität von der Bestrahlungs zeit, von der Art und der Vorbehandlung der Targetverbindung, von der Dauer der Lagerung der bestrahlten Proben und von der Abtrennmethode wird angegeben.     

Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung der Tiefenverteilung der primären Ionisationen in dicken Zwei-Element-Targets bei Beschuß mit Elektronen aus dem Energiebereich unterhalb 30 keV. Teil 1

Es werden methodische Untersuchungen zur Entwicklung eines Monte-Carlo-Programmes zur Berechnung der Tiefen-verteilung der primären Ionisationen auf der Grundlage der Vielfachstreutheorie von Molière beschrieben. Anhand aus-gewählter Zwei-Element-Targets wird die Leistungsfähigkeit von drei Varianten eines entsprechenden Elektronentrans-portmodells untersucht. Unter Benutzung der entwickelten Elektronentransportmodelle werden für die Elektronenstrahl-mikroanalyse interessierende Größen, wie Rückstreukoeffizient, Rückstreufaktor und Absorptionskorrektion, berechnet.     

Substoichiometric Determation of Silver Traces in Palladium with Adsorptive Sampling

A substoichiometic analytical method of high sensitivity combined with adsorptive sampling has been worked out for the determination of traces of silver in palladium making use of the selective deposition of microquantities of silver from aqueous solutions of palladium salts on cathodically polarized platioum surfaces. The stability and reporducibility of the saturation values of deposited silver are practially independent of the content and concentration of silver and palladium in the solution. The sensitivity proved to be 0.01 ppm, the accuracy ± 30 per cent.     

Range and energy-loss of 16.34 Mev/u 238U in kapton polyamide

Abstract

The range and energy-loss of 16.34 MeV/u ²³⁸U in Kapton-polyamide plastic have been measured by the nuclear track technique. The experimental ranges are compared with two sets of theoretical values. It has been observed that ranges obtained from the computer code ‘DEDXT’ are found to be 5–8% lower as compared to measured ones whereas those from Northcliffe and Schilling are about 10–15% overestimated above 8 MeV/u.     

A stochastic target formulation for optimal switching problems in finite horizon

We consider a general optimal switching problem for a controlled diffusion and show that its value coincides with the value of a well-suited stochastic target problem associated to a diffusion with jumps. The proof consists in showing that the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations of both problems are the same and in proving a comparison principle for this equation. This provides a new family of lower bounds for the optimal switching problem, which can be computed by Monte-Carlo methods. This result has also a nice economical interpretation in terms of a firm's valuation.     

One-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials for the detection of multiple biomolecules

The complexity of biological samples determines that the detection of a single biomolecule is unable to satisfy actual needs. Moreover, the “false positives” results caused by a single biomolecule detections easily leads to erroneous clinical diagnosis and treatment. Thus, it is important for the homogenous quantification of multiple biomolecules in not only basic research but also practical application. As a consequent, a large number of literatures have been exploited to monitor multiple biomolecules in homogenous solution, enabling facilitating the development of the disease diagnosis, treatment as well as drug discovery. One-dimensional nanomaterials and two-dimensional nanomaterials have special physical and chemical properties, such as good electrochemical properties, stable structure, large specific surface area, and biocompatibility, which are widely used in electrochemical and fluorescent detection of biomolecules. This tutorial review highlights the recent development for the detection of multiple biomolecules by using nanomaterials including one-dimensional materials (1DMs) as well as two-dimensional materials (2DMs).     

High-throughput lipidomics analysis to discover lipid biomarkers and profiles as potential targets for evaluating efficacy of Kai-Xin-San against APP/PS1 transgenic mice based on UPLC–Q/TOF–MS

Lipid metabolism has a significant function in the central nervous system and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related senile disease characterized by central nerve degeneration. The pathological development of AD is closely related to lipid metabolism disorders. To reveal the influence of Kai-Xin-San (KXS) on lipid metabolism in APP/PSI transgenic mice and potential therapeutic targets for treating AD, brain tissue samples were collected and analyzed by high-throughput lipidomics based on UPLC–Q/TOF-MS. The collected raw data were processed by multivariate data analysis to discover the potential biomarkers and lipid metabolic profiles. Compared with the control wild-type mouse group, nine potential lipid biomarkers were found in the AD model group, of which seven were up-regulated and two were down-regulated. Orally administrated KXS can reverse the changes in these potential biomarkers. Compared with the model group, a total of six differential metabolites showed a recovery trend and may be potential targets for KXS to treat AD. This study showed that high-throughput lipidomics can be used to discover the perturbed pathways and lipid biomarkers as potential targets to reveal the therapeutic effects of KXS.
