Monte Carlo determination of the infinite matrix dose rate correction factors for 250 μm quartz and TLD500 chip

A new approach based on the Monte Carlo simulation is used to calculate the infinite matrix dose rate correction factors of gamma, beta and internal conversion radiations for 250 μm diameter grains of quartz and TLD500 chips. Here, the dependence of the correction factor on the radiation energy is initially calculated for each type of emitted particle and with this result the correction factors for the ²³²Th and ²³⁸U series and ⁴⁰K are determined. This analysis is made for dry soil and also for different levels of water content in it. The obtained beta correction factors for quartz are in good agreement with those previously reported. For the TLD500 chip certain differences with previously reported data are found. The analysis of the gamma water correction factor for quartz based on Zimmerman equation shows the correspondence with the similar correction factor for electrons. In the case of TLD500 chip a gamma water correction factor value of 1.0 was found.     

Closed-loop adaptive optics with a single element for wavefront sensing and correction

We propose a closed-loop adaptive optical arrangement based on a single spatial light modulator that simultaneously works as a correction unit and as the key element of a wavefront sensor. This is possible by using a liquid crystal on silicon display whose active area is divided into two halves that are respectively programmed for sensing and correction. We analyze the performance of this architecture to implement an adaptive optical system. Results showing a closed-loop operation are reported, as well as a proof of concept for dealing with aberrations comparable to those typically found in human eyes.

T1 measurements incorporating flip angle calibration and correction in vivo

In this work, we propose a variable FA method that combines in vivo flip angle (FA) calibration and correction with a short TR variable FA approach for a fast and accurate T(1) mapping. The precision T(1)s measured across a uniform milk phantom is estimated to be 2.65% using the conventional (slow) inversion recovery (IR) method and 28.5% for the variable FA method without FA correction, and 2.2% when FA correction is included. These results demonstrate that the sensitivity of the variable FA method to RF nonuniformities can be dramatically reduced when these nonuniformities are directly measured and corrected. The acquisition time for this approach decreases to 10 min from 85 min for the conventional IR method. In addition, we report that the averaged T(1)s measured from five normal subjects are 900 +/- 3 ms, 1337 +/- 8 ms and 2180 +/- 25 ms in white matter (WM), gray matter (GM) and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) using the variable flip angle method with FA correction at 3 T, respectively. These results are consistent with previously reported values obtained with much longer acquisition times. The method reduces the total scan time for whole brain T(1) mapping, including FA measurement and calibration, to approximately 6 min. The novelty of this method lies in the in vivo calibration and the correction of the FAs, thereby allowing a rapid and accurate T(1) mapping at high field for many applications.

Assessment of the shear-improved Smagorinsky model in laminar-turbulent transitional channel flow

In this paper, the shear-improved Smagorinsky model (SISM) is assessed in a K-type transitional channel flow. Our numerical simulation results show that the original SISM model is still too dissipative to predict the transitional channel flow. Two former reported empirical correction approaches, including a low-Reynolds-number correction and a shape-factor-based intermittency correction, are applied to further promote the capability of the SISM model in simulating the transition process. Numerical tests show that the shape-factor-based intermittency correction approach can correctly improve the transition-prediction capability of the SISM model, while the low-Reynolds-number correction approach fails. Furthermore, the shape-factor-based intermittency-corrected SISM model can capture the vortical structures during the transitional process very well and possesses the grid-insensitive characteristics.

Optical compensation of geometrical distortion by a deformable mirror

An optical method for the real time correction of geometrical distortion is reported. It is based on the “fun-house-mirror effect”: An adjustable nonplanar mirror is introduced between object- and pupil-plane and generates a suitable (space-variant) shift of each pixel. The method is restricted to a certain class of distortions, which lead to continuous mirror surfaces (mirror must not break). We also investigate aberrations which are another restriction of the method. Our application was the improvement of TV-systems: before correction 20%, and after correction 50% of pixels had a distortion less or equal than one pixel distance.     

Thermodynamic properties of a two-dimensional square-well fluid

Analytic expressions for the thermodynamic properties of a classical two-dimensional square-well fluid and the first quantum correction to them are derived using the Barker-Henderson perturbation theory. Numerical results are reported. It is found that the quantum effect, which increases with increase of density, is largely determined by the hard-core and the attractive tail has a minor effect at high density.     

一种结合图像复原技术的自适应光学系统控制方法

在天文高分辨成像领域,自适应光学校正和事后图像复原都必不可少,但传统的自适应光学系统控制方法以提升光学成像质量为目的,并未考虑图像复原环节,因此,研究一种结合两者以获得高质量复原图像为目标的控制方法具有重要意义.本文对传统自适应光学技术结合事后图像解卷积的方法进行了分析,阐述了其存在的缺陷.首次提出了将自适应光学技术和图像复原技术相结合进行系统分析的思想,并提出了变形镜校正度(变形镜控制电压相对于传统方法控制电压的缩放比例)的概念,通过改变校正度可实现变形镜校正残差和波前传感器探测误差的调整,同时证明了复原图像质量在校正度下降的方向存在一个最优值,用最优校正度来修正变形镜控制电压,就得到了一种新的控制方法.针对点源目标成像,仿真表明该方法相比于传统方法,能够得到质量更好的复原图像.     

Elastic and inelastic scattering of neutrons from Fe and Cu : (II). Scattering and nuclear structure effects from coupled channels calculations

The differential cross sections for neutron scattering from ^{54, 56}Fe and ^{63, 65}Cu at energies between 8 and 14 MeV, which were reported in a companion paper, have been analyzed in the framework of the coupled channels formalism. Neutron potential deformations were extracted and compared with corresponding deformations deduced from the reanalysis of proton scattering measurements and Coulomb excitation results. The size of the Coulomb correction term in the absorptive proton potential is discussed. Matter root-mean-square radii are estimated from our potential and compared with results from -particle folding model calculations.     

Time resolved photoluminescence spectra of a-As2S3

Time resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectra of a-As₂S₃ are reported in the range 0–100 nsec after the excitation light pulse. After a very careful correction for apparatus spectral response, there is no large shift of the PL line as previously reported, but only an increase of the high energy side of the PL spectrum at short times. These results are discussed in terms of models with or without rearranged point defects.

Demonstration of highly efficient photon echoes

Highly efficient two-pulse and stimulated photon echoes are experimentally demonstrated in an absorbing medium. Recall efficiencies of 235% and 150% with excellent signal contrast are measured for two-pulse and stimulated photon echoes, respectively, in a Tm:YAG crystal with an absorption length of 3.8. The reported efficiencies do not include any correction for decay or beam profile. We believe that this is the first demonstration of an uncorrected echo efficiency greater than 100% with good signal fidelity in an optically thick medium.

Diffusion and ballistic contributions of electron-electron interaction to the conductivity in an Al0.26Ga0.74N/AlN/GaN heterostructure

The results of an experimental study of quantum correction of electron-electron interaction (EEI) to the conductivity of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in an undoped heterostructure are reported. A small but significant decrease of the Hall slope with the increase of temperature was discovered. This is not due to the increase of electron concentration as temperature increases but to the EEI effect. Both diffusion and ballistic contributions of EEI to the conductivity of 2DEG were observed. As the temperature increases, the negative diffusion EEI correction to the conductivity increases in an absolute value while the ballistic EEI correction reduces to a renormalization of the transport mobility.
