The operational performance of the Yale ESTU

The ESTU began operation in 1988 and achieved the design voltage of 20 MV in 1990. Since that time, improvements to the gas handling system, negative ion injector, accelerator terminal and control system have greatly increased its capability and reliability. Today, the ESTU can efficiently produce an extensive assortment of stable ions at wide-ranging energies in support of low-energy nuclear physics.     

Application of pressure sensitive paint measurement to a low-solidity cascade diffuser of a transonic centrifugal compressor

A pressure sensitive paint (PSP) measurement has been known as a pressure field measurement technique based on the oxygen quenching phenomenon of luminescence of specific luminophores. A PSP measurement was applied for pressure field measurement in a low-solidity circular cascade diffuser of a single-stage transonic centrifugal compressor with 5 in pressure ratio for HFC134a gas. The oxygen concentration was about 500 ppm. Ru (bath-phen) was adsorbed on a silica-gel thinlayer chromatography sheet, and the sheet was pasted onto the side-wall between the cascade vanes. A drastic change in luminescent intensity was recognized during a surge condition. Also the pressure variations based on luminescent intensity agreed well with the pressure fluctuations measured using a semiconductor pressure sensor with high-frequency-response. It was shown that a PSP measurement worked well to investigate the unsteady pressure fields in a circular cascade diffuser of a transonic centrifugal compressor. Moreover, the time response of PSP becomes clear as a problem to be overcome for the present.     

工作气压对电子束沉积ZrO2薄膜折射率和聚集密度的影响

采用电子束蒸发的方法，用石英晶体振荡法监控薄膜的蒸发速率，在不同工作气压下制备了ZrO2薄膜样品.在相调制型椭圆偏振光谱仪和分光光度计上对样品的光谱特性进行了测试.根据波长漂移的理论，计算出薄膜的聚集密度.结果表明，随着工作气压的降低，薄膜的聚集密度和折射率都随之增大.     

双向分束角对称的偏光分束镜设计与性能分析

为了获得分束角对称的偏光分束棱镜，在双Wollaston棱镜结构的基础上，通过合理设计棱镜左右两端晶体光轴的取向，使棱镜整体呈中心切面对称；在保证对正向入射的光对称分束的同时，对反向入射光同样可以对称分束，达到了双向对称分束的目的；在此基础上给出了晶体光轴的旋转角δ与棱镜结构角S以及与波长的关系；并分析了对633 nm设计的棱镜用于其他波长时分束角的对称性.结果表明：在±300 nm的光谱范围内，分束角的不对称度均小于0.24°.

DUAL FUNCTIONALS OF SAID-BEZIER TYPE GENERALIZED BALL BASES OVER TRIANGLE DOMAIN AND THEIR APPLICATION

A family of Said-Bézier type generalized Ball (SBGB) bases and surfaces with a parameter H over triangular domain is introduced, which unifies Bézier surface and Said-Ball surface and includes several intermediate surfaces. To convert different bases and surfaces, the dual functionals of bases are presented. As an application of dual functionals, the subdivision formulas for surfaces are established.     

Primal cutting plane algorithms revisited

Dual fractional cutting plane algorithms, in which cutting planes are used to iteratively tighten a linear relaxation of an integer program, are well-known and form the basis of the highly successful branch-and-cut method. It is rather less well-known that various primal cutting plane algorithms were developed in the 1960s, for example by Young. In a primal algorithm, the main role of the cutting planes is to enable a feasible solution to the original problem to be improved. Research on these algorithms has been almost non-existent.  In this paper we argue for a re-examination of these primal methods. We describe a new primal algorithm for pure 0-1 problems based on strong valid inequalities and give some encouraging computational results. Possible extensions to the case of general mixed-integer programs are also discussed.     

Generalized Longo–Rehren Subfactors and α-Induction

We study the recent construction of subfactors by Rehren which generalizes the Longo–Rehren subfactors. We prove that if we apply this construction to a non-degenerately braided subfactor N⊂M and α^±-induction, then the resulting subfactor is dual to the Longo–Rehren subfactor M⊗M ^opp⊂R arising from the entire system of irreducible endomorphisms of M resulting from α^plusmn;-induction. As a corollary, we solve a problem on existence of braiding raised by Rehren negatively. Furthermore, we generalize our previous study with Longo and Müger on multi-interval subfactors arising from a completely rational conformal net of factors on S ¹ to a net of subfactors and show that the (generalized) Longo–Rehren subfactors and α-induction naturally appear in this context.

Complete ideals and singularities of space curves

We consider complete ideals supported on finite sequences of infinitely near points, in regular local rings with dimensions greater than two. We study properties of factorizations in Lipman special *-simple complete ideals. We relate it to a type of proximity, linear proximity, of the points, and give conditions in order to have unique factorization. Several examples are presented.
