A new linear method for analyzing four‐way multiblock tables: STATIS‐4

A new four‐way multiblock method is proposed to study the links between more than two sets of data tables (several multiblocks) measured on the same observations. This method, called STATIS‐4, generalizes the STATIS method to more than one set of matrices. In its first step, STATIS‐4 is searching for one consensus for each multiblock and a global consensus summarizing all the previous ones as good as possible. Some graphical representations can be made to visualize the proximities between the tables within a multiblock and to visualize those between all the multiblocks. Moreover, plots of the observations for each table, each multiblock and global observations can be made. The theory of STATIS‐4 and the algorithm used to obtain the optimal solutions are presented. Moreover, a real sensory dataset is studied with STATIS‐4. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Study of γ‐Fast Neutron Attenuation and Mechanical Characteristics of Modified Concretes for Shielding and Sheltering Purposes

The study of γ‐neutrons attenuation and mechanical characteristics of modified concrete are vital and crucial parameters for the construction of civilian radiological, nuclear shielding, and/or shelters. In this work, fifteen samples of ordinary concretes with five different additives; steel fibers, polypropylene, silica fume, and fly ash, with variation of cement percentages, were prepared and used for performing the mechanical and radiation attenuation investigations. The compressive strength, tensile strength, slump test, bulk density, and water permeability were also carried out for the prepared concrete mixes. Collimated coherent beams from ⁶⁰Co and Pu‐Be fast neutron sources were used to check the radiation penetrability through the syntheized mixed concrete‐additives. Very sensitive and well calibrated gamma‐neutron pulse shape discriminating spectrometer with its electronic componenets and stilbene organic detector and 3′′ × 3′′ NaI scintillation crystal was used to measure the radiation before and after attenuation and transmission. The integrated fast neutron removal macroscopic cross section (Σ_r) and linear attenuation coefficient of total gamma rays (μ) were calculated for all the analysed concrete mixes. The results of measurements, tests, analyses and calculations are given and explained. The investigated modified concrete mixes show good workability and properties from the view point of mechanical loads and γ‐fast neutrons penetrability and resistance. These results can be used for shielding and sheltering design.

离子选择性微电极用于原位测量离子扩散系数

扩散系数是描述物质扩散过程的重要参数,而用膜池法、放射性或荧光示踪法、分子动力学模拟等现有方法无法原位进行生物体系中离子扩散系数的实时测量。 本文利用离子选择性微电极响应迅速、高选择性、高灵敏度、高空间分辨率、对样品无污染等优势,通过分析单个植物细胞原生质体在培养液中破裂时所形成的离子浓度脉冲信号,建立了相应的点源扩散模型,推导出了描述离子浓度随时间变化的理论公式,并通过该公式对实验测得的脉冲信号进行拟合,得到了离子的扩散系数,从而建立了一种用离子选择性微电极原位测定离子扩散系数的新方法,并将其应用于芦荟细胞原生质体破裂时离子扩散系数的测定,得到了Ca²⁺、Na⁺和K⁺的扩散系数分别为(6.51±0.12)×10^-6、(2.93±0.15)×10^-5和(3.03±0.35)×10^-5 cm²/s。 对比发现,拟合得到的Ca²⁺、Na⁺和K⁺扩散系数均略高于已报道的数值(纯水中),这一现象的产生可能是因为原生质体是在低渗液中吸水膨胀,细胞膜内压力升高产生内外压力差,该压力差会加速细胞破裂时离子的扩散。 这一方法对生物体系无干扰,较好地解决了生物体系中离子扩散系数原位实时测量的难题。     

Total dielectronic recombination rate coefficient for Co-like tungsten

Ab initio calculation of the total dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficient from the ground state 3s²3p⁶3d⁹(J=5/2) of Co-like tungsten is performed employing the relativistic distorted-wave approximation with configuration-interaction. The DR contributions mainly come from complex series 3d⁸4ln′l′. The complex series 3p⁵3d¹⁰n′l′, 3p⁵3d⁹4ln′l′ and 3d⁸5ln′l′ also contribute significantly to the total DR rates at relatively high electron temperatures. The l′ and n′ dependences of the partial rate coefficient are investigated. The inclusion of decays into autoionizing levels followed by radiative cascades (DAC) enlarges the total DR rate coefficients by a factor of about 10%. The level-by-level extrapolation method is developed to include DAC effects. The total DR rate coefficients are fitted to an empirical formula. It is shown that at temperatures above 2.5 keV the Burgess-Merts (BM) semiempirical formula can provide DR results with an accuracy of about 15%, whereas at electron temperatures below 100 eV it underestimates the DR rate coefficients by up to a few orders of magnitude and its temperature dependence is completely inadequate. The comparison of the results for Ni-like and Co-like tungsten shows that these two sets of DR rate coefficients are very close in magnitude at relatively high electron temperatures.     

Soliton switching and propagation in two-core nonlinear fiber coupler with high order coupling coefficient

We use the variational approach (VA) and the split-step Fourier transforms (SSFT) to study the transmission and switching characteristics inside the fiber nonlinear directional coupler (NDLC). The results, based on the VA, indicate that the second-order coupling coefficient dispersion and initiative chirp all reduce the coupling length, and the second-order coupling coefficient dispersion makes the switching characteristics become sharper and threshold power become bigger under the case of not having initiative chirp. The outcomes, based on the SSFT, indicate that the first order intermodal dispersion coefficient make optical pulses splitting in the propagation of fundamental solitons, and the second-order coupling coefficient dispersion reduces the coupling length, sharpens the switching characteristics and increases the switching threshold power, the results agrees well with those from the VA.

热膨胀系数异性轴夹角优化分析

高超声速飞行器需要先进的材料进行热防护,比如增强碳/碳材料.有两种将碳纤维制作成碳/碳球锥外形的工艺,研究表明在每种工艺中,碳/碳块体或碳纤维热膨胀系数异性轴角度对结构热应力影响很大,为此本文发展了一套优化设计方法,对给定的对流加热温度场可以实现球锥热应力的最小化.分析结果表明对于热膨胀系数异性轴角度,存在某些取值点,那时结构热应力分别达到最大和最小值.在异性轴模晕小于同性平面模量的条件下,对于工艺1,如果将球锥对称轴设置成垂直于碳/碳块体的同性平面,可以将热应力减至最小;对于工艺2,如果能将编制面内的碳纤维束异性轴角度取成负值(即指向来流方向),则球锥热应力也可以得到相当程度的减小.
