2D-Mueller-matrix tomography of optically anisotropic polycrystalline networks of biological tissues histological sections

A new technique of Mueller-matrix mapping of the birefringent structure of biological preparations of human organs tissues is suggested. The algorithms of reconstruction of average values and magnitude of fluctuations of the phase (birefringence) and amplitude (dichroism) of optically anisotropic structure of myocardium and connective tissue component of the vaginal wall histological section are proposed. The magnitudes and ranges of changes in the statistical moments of the 1st-4th order that characterize the distribution of average values and magnitude of fluctuations of birefringence and dichroism of the myocardium and connective tissue of the vaginal tissues histological sections were determined. Joint studies of distributions of the characteristics of phase and amplitude of the anisotropy of myocardium and connective tissue component of the vaginal wall tissues of different states were performed. The cases of various necrotic changes in the myocardium and pathological conditions of the vagina wall (prolapse of the genitals) are examined. Balanced accuracy of the method of Mueller-matrix polarization-phase and diffuse tomography of optically anisotropic polycrystalline networks in the differentiation of necrotic and pathological changes in human organs is determined.

Low-frequency magnetoelectric effect in a Galfenol-PZT planar composite structure

The forward and inverse magnetoelectric (ME) effects are experimentally studied in a two-layer planar structure containing mechanically coupled Galfenol and PZT plates. The process of production of polycrystalline Galfenol plates and their magnetic and magnetostriction characteristics are described. For the forward ME conversion, the dependences of the amplitude of the voltage generated by the structure on the magnitude and orientation of a dc magnetic field and the frequency and amplitude of a modulating magnetic field are measured. For the inverse ME conversion, the dependences of the amplitude of the change in the magnetic induction of the structure on the dc magnetic field and the frequency of an ac electric field applied to the structure are measured. The efficiencies of the forward and inverse ME conversion are estimated for the case of low-frequency field modulation and under conditions of the resonance excitation of bending and longitudinal mechanical vibrations in the structure.

不同比例有机无机肥配施土壤腐殖质组分的光谱学特征

以16年长期定位试验为基础,探讨不同比例有机无机肥配施对土壤腐殖质特征的影响。通过分离纯化腐殖质中的胡敏酸（HA）和富里酸（FA）组分,并利用元素分析、红外光谱和核磁共振研究分析了F1（70%化肥+30%有机肥）、F2（50%有机肥+50%化肥）和F3（100%有机肥）三种施肥方式下的HA和FA含量及结构变化。结果表明,F3对于提升HA和FA含量的效果优于F1和F2处理,说明有机肥的施用量越高,土壤腐殖质组分的含量就越高。元素分析表明,不同配比的有机无机肥对HA和FA各元素含量及原子比影响不同。F2和F3都提高了HA的缩合度,降低了氧化度和极性,其中F3的效果更加明显;有机肥的施用还能促进HA中含氮化合物的形成,并且在F2中的效果最好;有机肥的施用同样提高了FA的缩合度而降低了氧化度和极性并促进了含氮化合物的形成,尤其在F2处理中尤为明显。腐殖质红外光谱分析表明,与F1相比,F2和F3提高了HA中脂肪族化合物、碳水化合物物质的含量,FA的羧基基团、脂肪基团含量也增加,且在F3处理中表现最为显著;F2处理则降低了HA中脂肪烃物质的含量,FA中的碳水化合物则达到最高。13C核磁共振波谱分析显示,在三种处理中,有机肥的施用提高了HA和FA的脂化度而降低其芳化度,其中F2处理中HA官能团变化更加显著,FA在F3处理中则变化更加明显。综上所述,有机肥显著提高了土壤腐殖质组分含量,并且提高了HA和FA的脂化度降低其芳化度,但是不同用量有机肥下HA和FA的形成机制不同。

Spectroscopic and nano-molecular modeling investigation on the binary and ternary bindings of colchicine and lomefloxacin to Human serum albumin with the viewpoint of multi-drug therapy

Combination of several drugs is often necessary especially during long-term therapy. The competitive binding drugs can cause a decrease in the amount of drug bound to protein and increase the biological active fraction of the drug. The aim of this study is to analyze the interactions of Lomefloxacin (LMF) and Colchicine (COL) with human serum albumin (HSA) and to evaluate the mechanism of simultaneous binding of LMF and COL to protein. Fluorescence analysis was used to estimate the effect of drugs on the protein fluorescence and to define the binding and quenching properties of drugs-HSA complexes. The binding sites for LMF and COL were identified in tertiary structure of HSA with the use of spectrofluorescence analysis. The analysis of fluorescence quenching of HSA in the binary and ternary systems show that LMF does not affect the complex formed between COL and HSA. On the contrary, COL decreases the interaction between LMF and HSA. The results of synchronous fluorescence, resonance light scattering and circular dichroism spectra of binary and ternary systems show that binding of LMF and COL to HSA can induce micro-environmental and conformational changes in HSA. The simultaneous presence of LMF and COL in binding to HSA should be taken into account in the multi-drug therapy, and necessity of using a monitoring therapy owning to the possible increase of the uncontrolled toxic effects. Molecular modeling of the possible binding sites of LMF and COL in binary and ternary systems to HSA confirms the spectroscopic results.     

Large scale investigation of chemical composition, structure and corrosion mechanism of bronze archeological artefacts from Mediterranean basin

A large number of Cu-based archaeological artefacts from the Mediterranean basin have been selected for investigation of their chemical composition, metallurgical features and corrosion products (i.e. the patina).The guidelines for the selection of the Cu-based artefacts have taken into account the representativeness of the Mediterranean archaeological context, the manufacturing technique, the degradation state and the expected chemical composition and structure of the objects.The results show wide variation of the chemical composition of the alloys that include all kinds of ancient Cu-based alloys such as low and high tin, and also leaded bronzes, copper and copper-iron alloys.The examination of the alloy matrix shows largely different metallurgical features thus indicating the use of different manufacturing techniques for producing the artefacts. The results of the micro-chemical investigation of the patina show the structures and the chemical composition of the stratified corrosion layers where copper or tin depletion phenomenon are commonly observed with a remarkably surface enrichment of some soil elements such as P, S, Ca, Si, Fe, Al and Cl. This information indicates the strict interaction between soil components and corrosion reactions and products. In particular, the ubiquitous and near constant presence of chlorine in the corrosion layers is observed in the patina of the archaeological Cu-based artefacts found in different contexts in Italy, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Spain and Tunisia. This latter occurrence is considered dangerous because it could induce a cyclic corrosion reaction of copper that could disfigure the artefact.The micro-chemical and micro-structural results also show that another source of degradation of the bronze archaeological artefacts, are their intrinsic metallurgical features whose formation is induced during the manufacturing of the objects, carried out in ancient times by repeated cycles of cold or hot mechanical work and thermal treatments. These combined treatments induce crystallisation and segregation phenomena of the impurities along the grain boundaries and could cause mechanical weakness and increase the extent of the inter-granular corrosion phenomena.

洱海上覆水DOM荧光特征及对富营养化的指示意义

湖泊溶解性有机物（DOM）组成特征对水质具有重要的影响,研究上覆水DOM组成特征对指示湖泊富营养化现状具有重要意义。采用荧光光谱区域体积积分分析法（FRI）定量分析洱海上覆水DOM组分时空变化,以及DOM组分与水质因子间的关系,对比分析不同来源入湖水体、不同富营养化程度高原湖泊上覆水DOM组分荧光特征。结果表明,洱海上覆水体DOM主要以类腐殖酸为主,其次为类富里酸,洱海DOM总量及类腐殖酸组分中部较高,色氨酸和络氨酸等类蛋白质DOM南部较高,类富里酸DOM北部较高。藻华易发期（10月）类蛋白质和类富里酸DOM较低,类腐殖酸DOM显著增加,DOM生物源降低,DOM生物活性降低。洱海沉积物内源释放和入湖河流主要影响上覆水中类腐殖酸DOM,湿沉降主要增加类蛋白质DOM。在湖泊贫营养阶段类富里酸DOM对水质影响较大,在富营养阶段类腐殖酸DOM对水质影响较大。随着湖泊富营养化程度的加剧,上覆水类蛋白质和类富里酸DOM所占比例呈下降趋势,微生物降解产物和类腐殖酸DOM所占比例呈增加趋势。DOM荧光组分占比变化对湖泊富营养化具有指示作用。     

偏振分辨激光诱导击穿光谱的铝铁合金信背比改善效果研究

偏振分辨激光诱导击穿光谱(PRLIBS)以其低成本压制背景的特点在LIBS降低检测限上有着重要意义,但是理论上的争议和信背比改善效果不稳定限制了其应用前景。为深入分析等离子体产生偏振特性的原理和PRLIBS信背比的改善效果,采用1 064 nm纳秒脉冲激光器和光纤光谱仪对铝铁合金样品进行了偏振分辨LIBS的信背比改善效果及偏振原理的探索性实验。通过对辐射能量的估算,大胆地推测轫致辐射在背景辐射中的占比是由大变小的,并据此解释了背景辐射强度在时间上的变化。通过改变能量密度、检偏角度、探测角、延时时间、积分时间等因素,采集光谱强度和波长数据、计算偏振度和信背比,观察到铝铁合金的等离子体光谱中背景谱和分立谱均有偏振且存在偏振度和偏振方向的差异,发现偏振LIBS改善信背比的效果与实验参数包括能量密度、延时时间、检偏角度以及波长有关。PRLIBS信背比关于能量密度的变化与一般LIBS类似,在能量较大时会趋于饱和。检偏角度会影响信背比大小,与光谱的偏振方向和偏振度有关,推导了信背比改善效果关于偏振度、检偏角度、偏振方向夹角的公式。在波长上连续谱偏振度趋势较为稳定而分立谱偏振度随光谱强度增大而减小。随延时时间增加,偏振度变化不明显,原因是相比于积分时间延时的改变量很小,而信背比的变化趋势与无偏振LIBS一致。总结了国内外对PRLIBS机理具有代表性的解释并进行了讨论,排除了激光光场、菲涅尔反射、各向异性电子速度分布等因素对等离子体偏振特性的决定性作用。研究结论是在ns-LIBS实验中,复合辐射在可见光和紫外光范围内占背景辐射的大部分,其偏振特性主要源于等离子体复合阶段产生的各向异性复合过程,原子谱偏振特性可能源于该过程中受激原子的磁性支能级间数量的不平衡,而背景谱与原子谱的偏振度及偏振方向的差异主要取决于偏振特性产生机理的不同。研究发现, PRLIBS并不总能提升元素的信背比,尤其对弱光谱信号改善效果有限,要获得较好的压制背景的效果,可以对PRLIBS的能量密度、检偏角度、延时与积分时间等条件加以控制,在能量密度20 J·cm-2积分时间30μs检偏角度20°下FeⅠ407.12 nm处的信背比由4.86提升至12.97。偏振度与探测角相关性较小,原因可能是导体的菲涅尔反射效应很弱。研究结果对PRLIBS的原理研究和应用提供了有效的理论基础。

Determination of avocado and mango fruit properties by ultrasonic technique

A nondestructive ultrasonic measurement system was developed for the assessment of some transmission parameters which might have quantitative relations with the maturity, firmness and other quality-related properties of avocado and mango fruits. The system utilizes a set of low-frequency probes arranged to measure the ultrasonic signal transmitted and received over a short distance across the peel. The attenuation of the ultrasonic waves, transmitted through the peel and the attached fruit tissue, changes as a result of the progressive ripening and softening of the fruit during the fruiting season and in the course of storage. The present study quantitatively addressed the linkage between the ultrasonic attenuation and the physiological parameters of the flesh of the fruits. Results were obtained in the time and frequency domain, and the data set was analyzed statistically to identify the relations between the major physiological indices and the ultrasonic parameters. Quantitative relations were developed to describe the linkage between ultrasonic parameters and the maturity, firmness and other quality-related properties in mango and avocado fruits.     

Energy loss and plasmon excitation during electron emission in the proximity of a solid surface

We study the interaction with bulk and surface modes of electrons emitted in the proximity of a solid surface. We analyze the modifications in the energy loss, and in bulk and surface plasmon excitations, taking into account the effects due to the sudden creation of the electron and residual atomic hole, and the finite distance to the surface. The process is described using the dielectric function formulation and the specular reflection model. We derive expressions for the electrostatic potential in the medium and in vacuum, which include all the terms due to bulk and surface modes. The effect of each term in the energy loss rate and in the average number of plasmon excitations is discussed. The results illustrate in detail the different spatial dependences of the electron and ion interactions with the bulk and surface perturbations, through the relevant range of distances for studies of electron emission in the proximity of solid surfaces.     

相对湿度和氧气浓度对滑动弧放电特性影响研究

本文通过检测背景气体不同含氧量和相对湿度下的放电电流强度和臭氧浓度,分析氧气和水汽对滑动弧放电特性的影响.结果表明,背景中氧气是臭氧的主要发生源,臭氧随氧气浓度的增大而增大.水汽的离解反应与臭氧发生反应存在竞争关系,同时其生成的OH粒子会与臭氧发生反应,因此水汽对臭氧的产生起抑制作用.由于氧气和水的电子结合系数都很高,水与电子还会发生离解结合反应,因此背景气体氧气浓度和水汽含量增大会减少等离子体区域的电子数量,降低放电电流强度.     

Modeling and analysis of the in-plane vibration of a complex cable-stayed bridge

The in-plane vibration of a complex cable-stayed bridge that consists of a simply-supported four-cable-stayed deck beam and two rigid towers is studied. The nonlinear and linear partial differential equations that govern transverse and longitudinal vibrations of the cables and transverse vibrations of segments of the deck beam, respectively, are derived, along with their boundary and matching conditions. The undamped natural frequencies and mode shapes of the linearized model of the cable-stayed bridge are determined, and orthogonality relations of the mode shapes are established. Numerical analysis of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cable-stayed bridge is conducted for various symmetrical and non-symmetrical bridge cases with regards to the sizes of the components of the bridge and the initial sags of the cables. The results show that there are very close natural frequencies when the bridge model is symmetrical and/or partially symmetrical, and the mode shapes tend to be more localized when the bridge model is less symmetrical. The relationships between the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cable-stayed bridge and those of a single fixed–fixed cable and the single simply-supported deck beam are analyzed. The results, which are validated by commercial finite element software, demonstrate some complex classical resonance behavior of the cable-stayed bridge.

Stargazing Basics: Getting Started in Recreational Astronomy,by P.E. Kinzer

Soil has its origin in physical processes of comminution and abrasion of rock masses and in chemical processes of solution and recrystallization of rock minerals. After formation it is transported and distributed by a variety of agencies before subaerial or subaqueous deposition. Generally, soils experience a number of cycles of sedimentation, uplift, erosion and redeposition. Their mechanical behaviour under the stresses imposed by engineering structures varies with the type of soil. Both the deformation and failure of soils are of interest in the design of structures and these properties must be studied by special laboratory tests. The solution of a soil engineering problem therefore involves a field investigation and sampling programme to define the boundaries of the soil involved, laboratory testing of the soil, and analytical or computer calculations to determine the displacements and stresses which will occur in the soil and structure. Problems of particular interest include slope failures, the design of earth dams, retaining walls and piled structures, the displacement and failure of soil under buildings and the determination of soil properties on the surface of the moon and other planets.
