基于185例肺小结节CT图像灰度共生矩阵纹理特征的多水平模型研究

为探讨基于肺小结节CT图像灰度共生矩阵纹理特征的多水平模型,对北京友谊医院和宣武医院提供的185例2137张肺小结节CT图像提取4种灰度共生矩阵纹理特征。根据该类资料具有层次结构的特点,拟合多水平统计模型。结果表明,能量,熵和惯性矩,在患者水平上具有聚集性,且在良恶性肺小结节间的差异有统计学意义(P值均小于0.001),提示多水平模型可以灵活有效地处理肺小结节CT图像这类具有层次结构的数据,在一定程度上有利于早期肺癌的鉴别诊断。     

Gd2Ba4CuWOx掺杂对单畴GdBCO超导块材性能的影响

本文采用顶部籽晶熔融织构方法(TSMTG)制备出了具有不同纳米Gd2Ba4CuWOx(GdW2411)掺杂量的系列单畴GdBCO超导块材,并研究了GdW2411的掺杂量对其微观形貌以及磁悬浮力大小的影响.研究结果表明,通过添加GdW2411粒子,可以成功的在单畴GdBCO超导块材中引入纳米GdW2411磁通钉扎中心,其粒径约在50～200nm之间;随着GdW2411掺杂比例的增加,纳米粒子的密度逐渐变大,粒度也有所变大;GdBCO超导块材磁悬浮力的大小与GdW2411掺杂量密切相关,只有当GdW2411的掺杂比例达到最佳值时,样品的磁悬浮力才达到最大.这些结果对进一步提高GdBCO超导块材性能具有重要的指导意义.

Thermal and optical characterization of a novel series of supramolecular liquid crystals

Supramolecular hydrogen bonded liquid crystal (SMHBLC) homologous series is synthesized and characterized. Hydrogen bond is formed between p-n-alkyloxy benzoic acids (nOBA, where n=7 to 12) and Iodo substituted benzoic acid (I_mBA) respectively. The isolated homologs are characterized by various techniques like Polarizing Optical Microscopy (POM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), ¹H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). From the POM and DSC studies phase diagram has been constructed and discussed. A new smectic ordering, labeled as smectic R, has been characterized which exhibits a ribbon like texture. This phase is observed in a complex pertaining to the undecyloxy carbon number. Tilt angle in smectic R phase and in traditional smectic C of all the complexes have been experimentally deduced and the results are fitted and so obtained β value concurrences with the Mean field theory predicted value.     

Microstructure of a genuine Damascus sabre

The surface and cross‐section of a genuine Damascus sword was characterised by means of wide‐angle X‐ray scattering techniques complemented by optical and transmisssion electron microscopy. Position‐resolved X‐ray phase analysis revealed that, unlike ferrite and martensite, the distribution of cementite is inhomogeneous in different spatial zones parallel to the cutting edge of the blade. For the first time a quantitative X‐ray phase and texture analysis was made possible by averaging all spatial zones of the surface and the cross‐section of the sword and applying the Rietveld method with code TOPAS. Differences concerning texture and structure characteristics of ferrite, martensite and cementite are discussed. More evidence for the structure of cementite nanowires is supplied.

Crystallographic Texture and Domain Structure of Nd3:8Dy0:7Pr3:5Fe86Nb1B5 Nanocomposite Prepared by Direct Rapid Solidification

"Strong crystallographic texture and high performance of Nd3:8Dy0:7Pr3:5Fe86Nb1B5 (containing 30% ff-Fe) nanocomposite permanent magnetic material was prepared by direct rapid solidification. X-ray diffraction analysis and magnetic measurement indicated that the ribbons had preferential orientation. The easy magnetization direction switched from perpendicular to the ribbon plane to parallel to the ribbon plane direction as the wheel speed increased from 10 m/s to 30 m/s. The multigrain domains were observed by scan probe microscope (SPM) in the ribbons prepared at wheel speed of 10-30 m/s. The Henkel plots were employed to investigate the interactions of the grains in the samples. A very fine and uniform microstructure with the average grain size about 16 nm was obtained in the sample prepared at wheel speed of 30 m/s. The sample consisted of highly oriented hard magnetic phase (Nd,Dy,Pr)2(Fe,Nb)14B and soft magnetic phase ff-Fe. High performance of Br=1.29 T, Mr/Ms= 0.76 and (BH)max=158.4 kJ/m3 was achieved due to the strong crystallographic texture, fine and homogeneous microstructure and enhancement of the exchange coupling between the soft and hard magnetic phases in this sample. The mechanism of the formation of the crystallographic texture and the multigrain domains was also discussed."     

Texture transformations and orientational properties of lyotropic nematics in magnetic field

Dynamics of changes of the morphological properties and processes of orientation in lyotropic nematic mesophases by application of external magnetic field have been investigated in detail. The dynamics of changes of the optical birefringence values in nematic‐calamitic mesophase vs. time has been determined. The optical mappings of nonequilibrium magnetically induced textures, which have been observed for this mesophase during orientational process, and changes of birefringence vs. time are presented.

Textural Properties of Densified Aerogels

Base catalysed silica aerogels have been densified using both an isostatic pressure and a thermal treatment. The density range investigated corresponds to 0.186–0.65. Textural properties such as the specific surface area and the pore size distribution are analysed as a function of the sample's bulk density, using the N2 adsorption-desorption technique. A comparison between specific surface areas obtained previously by small angle X-ray scattering is done. Experiments show that the isostatic pressure leads to materials having a narrow pore size distribution while the specific surface area remains unchanged.     

An evaluation of the Larson-Doi model for liquid crystalline polymers using recoil

The mesoscopic models for the rheological properties of liquid crystalline polymers proposed by Larson and Doi in 1991 and Kawaguchi and Denn in 1999 are based on phenomenological expressions that describe the evolution of the defect density and the contribution of the “texture” to the stress. In the present work, we attempt to assess some of these assumptions by monitoring how the energy stored in the texture of liquid crystalline materials evolves during shear flows. For that purpose, strain recovery is measured as a function of the applied strain for flow reversal and intermittent flow. Solutions of poly-benzylglutamate in m-cresol, hydroxypropylcellulose in water and a nematic surfactant solution are used as model systems. Although the behaviour is described qualitatively by the model, discrepancies between the predictions and the experiments are observed, especially when the shear history includes rest periods.

Effects of Fructose and Oligofructose Addition on Milk Fermentation Using Novel Lactobacillus Cultures to Obtain High-Quality Yogurt-like Products

The incorporation of prebiotics in fermented milk products is one of the best ways to promote health benefits while improving their sensory characteristics at the same time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of fructose and oligofructose (1% and 2%) on the physicochemical, rheological, sensory, and microbiological quality attributes of fermented milk products inoculated with indigenous probiotic starter cultures of Lactobacillus isolated from Polish traditional fermented foods. The samples were evaluated during 35 days of refrigerated storage. The oligofructose and fructose caused increases in the populations of bacteria in comparison to the control fermented milk products without the addition of saccharides. The degrees of acidification in different fermented milk samples, as well as their viscosity, firmness, syneresis, and color attributes, changed during storage. The highest overall sensory quality levels were observed for the samples supplemented with L. brevis B1 and oligofructose. This study is the first attempt to compare the influences of different sugar sources on the physicochemical, rheological, sensory, and microbiological quality attributes of fermented milk products.
