钻石颜色分级定量化技术的研究

美国宝石学院19世纪30年代起，首先建立了一套成熟的钻石颜色分级系统。传统上，钻石颜色分级靠目视以及与成套标准比色石比较确定。目视分级结果被一些因素如检验环境、钻石尺寸，分级人员等所影响。因此经常出现对一个样品，即使是同一个人在相同环境分级检测也容易出现分级偏差。为了避免上述问题，利用检测设备来评估钻石颜色，成为钻石领域的一个研究热点。可是目前没有达到评估钻石颜色分级的要求。该研究给出了一个有意义的方法来定量表征钻石的颜色。该方法使用显微微区定位检测方法来定量评估钻石颜色，同时该方法可以避免钻石尺寸大小对钻石颜色分级的影响。可见光分光光度计原理被使用在该方法。该方法由样品系统、微区定位显示系统、信号收集与计算系统组成。D65光源被使用，并且色温保持在(6 500±200) K; 高分辨率CCD探测器作为信号采集设备。该方法准确检测了几套不同大小和颜色的带国家（中国）标准证书的钻石样品，结果表明，该方法能够快速、准确的测量钻石的颜色坐标，并自动转换为钻石分级系统对应的颜色分级级别，同时靠使用微区定位检测技术，对圆钻型钻石测试能够排除钻石尺寸引起的颜色分级偏差。该方法对钻石分级是一个有益的潜在技术。

Analysis of phantom centering positioning on image noise and radiation dose in axial scan type of brain CT

ABSTRACT

This study examined the dose and image quality according to the position change of a human phantom in a CT scan. This study used an MDCT 128 Slice CT Scanner instrument. An axial scan was performed with a 16 cm CTDI phantom of a human phantom, and the dose was measured using a pencil chamber meter. The phantom was scanned 10 cm above and below the isocenter and 15 cm above the right and left. The position of the phantom is indicated by C-0 in the isocenter position, S-10 in the upper 10 cm, I-10 in the lower 10 cm, R-15 in the right 15 cm, and L-15 in the left 15 cm. The test was performed 30 times using the brain CT protocol to calculate the dose and the dose width product (DWP). The acquired images were analyzed using the ImageJ program. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS with one-way ANOVA (p < .05). The mean DWP values of the CT scanner were C-0 31.97 mGy·cm, S-10 24.52 mGy·cm, I-10 24.28 mGy· cm, R-15 17.95 mGy·cm, and L15 17.6 mGy·cm. Compared to the isocenter (C-0), the DLP values measured at each site were 23.3% for S-10, 24% for I-10, 43.8% for R-15, and 44.9% for L15. A significant difference in the one-way ANOVA statistical process was observed (p>0.05). C-0 was measured to be 7.42 HU, S-10 7.87 HU, I-10 8.4 HU, R-15 117 HU, and L-15 13.6 HU for evaluating the image quality. Compared to C-0, S-10 was 5.39%, I-10 was 13.2%, R-15 was 57.6%, and L-15 was 83.2%. The PSNR for S-10, I-10, R-15, and L-15 was 17.37, 17.5, 16.62, and 16.37 dB, respectively. A good quality image can be obtained by positioning the subject precisely in the isocenter in the axial scan, if possible, because the irradiated dose to the subject is low, which can lead to an increase in noise in image reconstruction.     

Improved Dermal and Transdermal Delivery of Curcumin with SmartFilms and Nanocrystals

Poor aqueous solubility of active compounds is a major issue in today’s drug delivery. In this study the smartFilm-technology was exploited to improve the dermal penetration efficacy of a poorly soluble active compound (curcumin). Results were compared to the dermal penetration efficacy of curcumin from curcumin bulk suspensions and nanocrystals, respectively. The smartFilms enabled an effective dermal and transdermal penetration of curcumin, whereas curcumin bulk- and nanosuspensions were less efficient when the curcumin content was similar to the curcumin content in the smartFilms. Interestingly, it was found that increasing numbers of curcumin particles within the suspensions increased the passive dermal penetration of curcumin. The effect is caused by an aqueous meniscus that is created between particle and skin if the dispersion medium evaporates. The connecting liquid meniscus causes a local swelling of the stratum corneum and maintains a high local concentration gradient between drug particles and skin. Thus, leading to a high local passive dermal penetration of curcumin. The findings suggest a new dermal penetration mechanism for active compounds from nano-particulate drug delivery systems, which can be the base for the development of topical drug products with improved penetration efficacy in the future.

人类活体颈椎生物力学性能测试仪器的研制

颈部疼痛和运动障碍是人类的常见病症。不管起因如何，受伤和退化将使颈椎的力学性能发生变化。由于颈椎的生理结构复杂。描述其在三维坐标系的运动状态需要3个平移参数和3个转角参数。为此，我们在颈椎运动力学性能研究时做如下的力学模型简化；把人体的胸部和头部看成是两个刚体，它们之间仅由颈椎相连，当人体的胸部被固定时，头部做曲伸，旋转，侧弯运动，简化为头部绕第一胸椎（T1）的转动。为实现这一运动，我们研制了一套专用的测试装置。测试者接受的是被动测试，头部的旋转是由扭力扳手产生的，当扭力扳手对某轴施加一力偶时，就向被试者头部传递了一力矩T，而此力矩可通过安装在扭力扳后上的力传感器将信号传递到应变仪上测出；头部在这力矩作用下的转角θ则由安装于测试装置上的转角指示器显示，我们分别对四位受试者进行了测试，得到了对应的T-θ曲线图。测试表明，尽管受试个体间存在着特异性，但也能找到一些明显的规律。例如每个受试者颈椎旋转的运动角度要大于其它的几种运动。

Decaying turbulence in a passive mean scalar gradient

We consider the generation of passive scalar fluctuations by decaying isotropic turbulence in the presence of a uniform mean scalar gradient. At high Reynolds numbers, two distinct similarity states may be established depending on the form of the energy spectrum at low wavenumber magnitude (k). In the first similarity state characterized by a low wavenumber magnitude energy spectrum proportional tok ², the mean-square scalar fluctuation grows liket ^4/5, while in the second similarity state characterized by a spectrum proportional tok ⁴, the mean-square scalar fluctuation grows approximately liket ^4/7. These two high Reynolds number asymptotic similarity states have been subsequently confirmed by large-eddy numerical simulations. As a consequence of the decreasing flow Reynolds number as the turbulence decays, these similarity states do not continue indefinitely. At very long times, a final period of decay of the turbulence occurs, and in this final period, the mean-square scalar fluctuation in the first state continues to grow liket ^1/2, while that in the second state ultimately decays liket ^–1/2.     

Designing a Linear Structure with a Local Nonlinear Attachment for Enhanced Energy Pumping

We present a design procedure for enhancing nonlinear energy pumping from a mode of a linear-damped substructure to a weakly coupled, essentially nonlinear oscillator. By this we denote the one way, irreversible passive transfer of vibrational energy from the mode to the nonlinear attachment. The design relies in the asymptotic expansion for large energies of a nonlinear normal mode of the underlying conservative system that provides an analytic estimate of the level of the amplitude reached by the nonlinear attachment in the energy pumping regime. The analytical findings are validated by direct numerical simulations.
