Simple,Rapid and Sensitive Electrochemical Method for the Determination of the Triketone Herbicide Sulcotrione in River Water Using a Glassy Carbon Electrode

We report a novel, simple, rapid and sensitive electrochemical method for the determination of sulcotrione, a member of the relatively new class of triketone herbicides, using differential pulse voltammetry on a glassy carbon electrode. Its electrochemical behavior including influences of electrolyte composition, pH and scan rate was studied to select optimal experimental parameters for its determination. In Britton? Robinson buffer at pH 3 sulcotrione provided a well‐defined reduction peak at ?0.84 V (vs. Ag/AgCl electrode), with good repeatability (relative standard deviation of 2.3 % for 8 measurements at 10 µM concentration level). With optimized parameters differential pulse voltammetry rendered two linear concentration ranges from 0.2 to 2 µM and from 2 to 50 µM with a detection limit of 0.05 µM. The proposed procedure was successfully applied to the determination of sulcotrione in spiked river water samples with satisfactory recoveries (93–109 %). The developed method may represent a simple, rapid and sensitive alternative to highly toxic mercury electrodes and chromatographic methods.     

Detection of p53 Gene by Using Genomagnetic Assay Combined with Carbon Nanotube Modified Disposable Sensor Technology

Electrochemical monitoring of DNA hybridization related to p53 gene sequence was investigated using genomagnetic assay combined with single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). The hybridization was performed either at magnetic beads (MB) surface or in solution. The enhanced guanine signal was obtained using SWCNT‐PGEs compared to one obtained by unmodified PGEs. The selectivity of genomagnetic assay was tested under optimum conditions. The DLs were calculated as 0.88 µM and 0.11 µM for hybridization performed at MB surface and solution, respectively. This selective, practical and cost effective genomagnetic assay combined with SWCNT‐PGEs is reported herein for the first time.     

冲击加载条件下材料之间摩擦系数的确定

尝试利用自制分离式霍普金森压剪装置对聚氨酯泡沫塑料、硅橡胶和MDF水泥材料与铝合金在冲击加载条件下的摩擦系数进行测试.结果表明:在冲击加载条件下,聚氨酯泡沫塑料、硅橡胶和MDF水泥与铝杆之间的摩擦系数与材料的性质关系不大,其摩擦系数测试结果存在一定的分散性,摩擦曲线出现抖动,且与加载条件有关,摩擦系数比通常意义下所得到的摩擦系数小;不同加载条件对所测试材料与铝压杆之间的摩擦系数数值影响不大,只是曲线的走势稍有不同.在冲击加载条件下硬质聚氨酯泡沫塑料与铝杆之间的静摩擦系数为0.29,动摩擦系数为0.25;硅橡胶与铝杆之间的静摩擦系数为0.285,动摩擦系数为0.24;MDF水泥与铝合金杆之间的静摩擦系数为0.28～0.29,动摩擦系数约0.23.     

Motion of a system of seismic sources over ice on a body of water under the action of a pulse

The vertical motion of a system of two identical seismic sources and a spring truck tractor on ice under the action of a shock pulse from the seismic sources is studied to estimate the strength of ice. It is shown that during the pulse time, the interaction of the masses of the seismic sources and the tractor is small and the compressibility effect of the liquid can be ignored. Calculations show that for the seismic sources, the dynamic load far exceeds the static load and for the tractor, the static load is maximal. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 48, No. 2, pp. 147–155, March–April, 2007.

炸药爆炸过程中产生明显的电磁辐射干扰在很多领域引起了重视, 爆炸产生电磁辐射的机理和理论模型都不成熟, 实验仍然是研究这一现象的重要手段. 本文设计了不同质量的B炸药爆炸电磁辐射实验, 测量了爆炸整个过程中不同时刻的电磁辐射信号. 通过小波分析方法对实测信号进行处理, 得到真实信号和信号的时频特点, 小波分析得到真实信号的频谱主要分布在0$\sim$50 kHz. 利用自主开发的EXPLOSION-3D软件对实验工况进行数值模拟, 得到爆炸过程不同时刻流场的特点. 对比实验结果和数值模拟结果得出: 第一个脉冲信号是由B炸药爆轰产生的高温高压等离子体直接产生的电磁脉冲; 第二个脉冲信号是由地面反射的冲击波追上前沿冲击波, 空气冲击波阵面处形成的等离子体产生的电磁脉冲; 第三个脉冲信号是冲击波撞击测量线圈引起的无效信号. 其中, 第一个电磁脉冲幅值与当量的1/3次方基本呈线性关系, 其到达时间对炸药药量不敏感; 第二个电磁脉冲出现的时间与炸药的当量成指数关系, 药量越大, 出现时间越晚. 通过对第二个脉冲信号的分析, 得出了冲击波反射形成电磁脉冲信号时的爆炸波流场特征, 为后续相关理论机理研究提供了验证数据.     

Thermoconductivity and thermoelasticity of thin isotropic shells heated by a moving heat pulse

The paper presents a solution to the problem of thermal conduction and thermoelasticity for a thin shallow spherical shell heated by a concentrated or local impulsive heat source moving over the shell surface. It is assumed that temperature is linearly distributed across the shell thickness and that the shell, on its sides, exchanges heat with the environment in accordance with Newton’s law of cooling. The Fourier and Laplace transforms are used to find an analytic solution. The dependence of the temperature field and stress/strain components on the type of heating and the form of heat source is studied __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 11, pp. 85–92, November 2006.     

Standing Pulse Solutions in Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Skew-Gradient Structure

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a reaction-diffusion system with skew-gradient structure and discuss the stability of standing pulse solutions. In short, the skew-gradient system is a reaction-diffusion system which resembles a gradient system but has nonlinearities with different sign. We assume the existence of a standing pulse solution and define its orientation in some geometrical manner. Then we show that the stationary solution becomes unstable if time constants satisfy some inequality. The Evans function plays a crucial role for the stability analysis.     

Trends in ultrashort and ultrahigh power laser pulses based on optical parametric chirped pulse amplification

Since the proof-of-principle demonstration of optical parametric amplification to efficiently amplify chirped laser pulses in 1992,optical parametric chirped pulse amplification(OPCPA)became the most promising method for the amplification of broadband optical pulses.In the meantime,we are witnessing an exciting progress in the development of powerful and ultrashort pulse laser systems that employ chirped pulse parametric amplifiers.The output power and pulse duration of these systems have ranged from a few gigawatts to hundreds of terawatts with a potential of tens of petawatts power level.Meanwhile,the output pulse duration based on optical parametric amplification has entered the range of fewoptical-cycle field.In this paper,we overview the basic principles,trends in development,and current state of the ultrashort and laser systems based on OPCPA,respectively.     

Rogue wave solutions for a generalized nonautonomous nonlinear equation in a nonlinear inhomogeneous fiber

In this paper, we investigate a generalized nonautonomous nonlinear equation which describes the ultrashort optical pulse propagating in a nonlinear inhomogeneous fiber. By virtue of the generalized Darboux transformation, the first- and second-order rogue-wave solutions for the generalized nonautonomous nonlinear equation are obtained, under some variable–coefficient constraints. Properties of the first- and second-order rogue waves are graphically presented and analyzed: When the coefficients are all chosen as the constants, we can observe the some functions, the shapes of wave crests and troughs for the first- and second-order rogue waves change. Oscillating behaviors of the first- and second-order rogue waves are observed when the coefficients are the trigonometric functions.
