Mechanical and optical design for assembly of vascular endothelial cells using laser guidance and tweezers

Laser is applied to guide and tweeze the vascular endothelial cells for assembly. The system is composed of three modules: laser guidance, micro channels and laser tweezers. The micro channel includes the assembly area, main channel and branch channels. The optical module is equipped with laser source, beam splitter, reflectors and lenses. The endothelial cells are delivered to main channel and guided through branch channel to the assembly area by laser. The optical tweezers then move the cells to the proper position. The design of optical modules is conducted for the maximum capability of manipulating cells. The micro channel is designed based on fluid mechanics to minimize the fluidic disturbance to the cells in the assembly area, and is fabricated by photo lithography. Polystyrene micro beads and endothelial cells are successfully guided and tweezed by this approach. The associated escape velocity and dragging force are investigated.

Effect of preheating temperatures on microstructure and optical properties of Na-doped ZnO thin films by sol–gel process

The chemical composition, crystalline structure, surface morphology and photoluminescence spectra of Na-doped ZnO thin films with different heat treatment process were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and a fluorescence spectrometer. The results show that preferred orientation, residual stress, average crystal size and surface morphology of the thin films are strongly determined by the preheating temperature. The effects of preheating temperature on microstructure and surface morphology have been discussed in detail. The photoluminescence spectra show that there are strong violet & UV emission, blue emission and green emission bands. The violet & UV emission is ascribed to the electron transition from the localized level below the conduction band to the valence band. The blue emission is attributed to the electron transition from the shallow donor level of oxygen vacancies to the valence band, and the electron transition from the shallow donor level of interstitial zinc to the valence band. The green emission is assigned to the electron transition from the level of ionized oxygen vacancies to the valence band.

Introduction to real-space renormalization-group methods in critical and chaotic phenomena

The methods of the real-space renormalization group, and their application to critical and chaotic phenomena are reviewed. The article consists of two parts: the first part deals with phase transitions and critical phenomena; the second part, bifurcations and transitions to chaos. We begin with an introduction to the phenomenology of phase transitions and critical phenomena. Seminal concepts such as scaling and universality, and their characterization by critical exponents are discussed. The basic ideas of the renormalization group are then explained. A survey of real-space renormalization-group methods: decimation, Migdal-Kadanoff approximation, cumulant and cluster expansions, is given. The Hamiltonian formulation of classical statistical systems into quantum mechanical systems by the method of the transfer matrix is introduced. Quantum renormalization-group methods of truncation and projection, and their application to the transcribed quantum mechanical Ising model in a transverse field are illustrated. Finally, the quantum cumulant-expansion method as applied to the one-dimensional quantum mechanical XY model is discussed. The second part of the article is devoted to the subject of bifurcations and transitions to chaos. The three most commonly discussed kinds of bifurcations: the pitchfork, tangent and Hopf bifurcations, and the associated routes to chaos: period doubling, intermittency and quasiperiodicity are discussed. Period doubling based on the logistic map is explained in detail. Universality and its expression in terms of functional renormalization-group equations is discussed. The Liapunov characteristic exponent and its analogy to the order parameter are introduced. The effect of external noise and its universal scaling feature are shown. The simplest characterizations of the Hénon strange attractor are intuitively illustrated. The purpose of this article is primarily pedagogical. The similarity between critical and chaotic phenomena is a recurrent theme that underlines the importance and usefulness of such concepts as scaling, renormalization and universality.

Nuclear reactions with core excitation

The transition amplitudes for nucleon scattering, stripping, pick-up, and break-up reactions are derived in the framework of a three-body model. The model consists of two nucleons and a core. The core is assumed to have a discret excitation spectrum. The nucleon-core interactions give rise to the excitation and subsequent deexcitation of the core. The energy averaged transition amplitudes are obtained by iteration from Faddeevtype integral equations. The lowest order terms correspond to the DWBA and the higher order terms describe the multistep processes.     

钛的腐蚀与钝化机理电子理论研究

建立了位错塞集引发的裂纹原子集团模型,采用递归法计算了钛的电子结构参量,并研究了氧、氯、钯等元素对钛电子结构的影响.发现氧能降低费米能级附近的态密度,使钛的物理化学活性降低.氧降低钛的原子结合能,与钛原子之间有较大的亲和力,易与钛反应形成氧化膜.Cl在钛中的稳定性及与钛的亲和力均不及氧,很难取代钛表层中的氧,使得钛的氧化膜非常稳定,不会出现过钝化现象.Pd在钛中裂纹处的环境敏感镶嵌能较低,易扩散到裂纹处,且Pd元素使H在裂纹处的环境敏感镶嵌能明显升高,有效减小H向裂纹处的扩散,提高钛的应力腐蚀抵抗力. 关键词： 钛 腐蚀 钝化 电子结构

基于Tessier-AAS法的华中大农区污染红土Pb赋存形态非生物转化机制研究

土壤重金属污染已成为人类面临的共同挑战,典型的重金属污染场地包括金属矿山、公路沿线、工业集中区、农业耕地等。对于事关农业安全生产的大农区,土壤超量重金属往往导致农产品品质下降甚至使用价值丧失,由此造成的经济损失不可估量。实际上,农作物体内累积重金属量与土壤“活性”重金属关系更加密切,这部分重金属主要以可交换态存在,在一定条件下能够与碳酸盐结合态、Fe-Mn氧化态、有机结合态和残渣态相互转换。因此,明确土壤条件对重金属有效性的作用规律,有望从源头上降低重金属对农作物的污染风险。基于前期研究成果,以华中大农区酸性网纹红土为检测对象,采用Tessier连续提取-原子吸收光谱法(AAS)揭示不同条件对红土Pb形态转化的非生物调控机制。结果表明：红土样品Pb总量为32.56 mg·kg-1,低于《土壤环境质量标准》一级标准推荐值,但比全国土壤Pb平均含量要高。不同形态Pb含量分布为残渣态>Fe-Mn氧化态>有机结合态>碳酸盐结合态>可交换态,其中残渣态Pb占Pb总量的54.55%。红土pH值通过改变无机胶体和有机质表面电荷量来控制Pb的结合行为和可交换态含量;不同含水率导致红土氧化还原电位差异,进而影响Pb的形态转化行为。此外,秸秆加入量和老化时间也能改变Pb的形态分布,但残渣态Pb含量始终最高。红土Pb的Muller指数I_geo为0.302 5,表明土样采集区人为污染值得注意。Tessier连续提取-AAS法能有效表征红土Pb赋存形态的非生物转化机制。

Use of rigid-body motion for the investigation and estimation of the measurement errors related to digital image correlation technique

The aim of this work is to investigate the sources of errors related to digital image correlation (DIC) technique applied to strain measurements. The knowledge of such information is important before the measured kinematic fields can be exploited. After recalling the principle of DIC, some sources of errors related to this technique are listed. Both numerical and experimental tests, based on rigid-body motion, are proposed. These tests are simple and easy-to-implement. They permit to quickly assess the errors related to lighting, the optical lens (distortion), the CCD sensor, the out-of-plane displacement, the speckle pattern, the grid pitch, the size of the subset and the correlation algorithm. The errors sources that cannot be uncoupled were estimated by amplifying their contribution to the global error. The obtained results permit to address a classification of the error related to the used equipment. The paper ends by some suggestions proposed in order to minimize the errors.     

Determination of the health hazards due to background radiation sources in the city of Adapazari, Northwestern Turkey

Human body is exposed to ionising radiations both internally and externally by mainly high-energy cosmic ray particles incident on the earth's atmosphere and radioactive nuclides that originated in the earth's crust. The main objective of this study is to assess the health hazards due to environmental radiation sources in the city of Adapazari, one of the most important industrial cities of the country, Northwestern Turkey. For this purpose, natural radiation sources, external terrestrial radiations, cosmic radiations, and inhalation exposures have been investigated. The annual average external terrestrial radiation doses were determined as 0.08 and 0.35 mSv at outdoor and indoor atmospheres, respectively. The annual average cosmic radiation doses were found to be 0.08 and 0.05 mSv for directly ionising photon components and neutron components, respectively. The annual average inhalation exposure doses due to radon and thoron were obtained as 1.42 and 0.19 mSv, respectively, in the region. The annual average effective dose due to natural radiation sources was determined as a total of 2.35 mSv with the predetermined ingestion radiation dose. The lifetime cancer risk due to the background ionising radiations has been determined as 0.9×10(-2) for the residents of the Adapazari city, with the average lifespan of 70 years. The results of the effective doses due to background radiation sources in the region and the worldwide averages were discussed.     

A non-ideal portal frame energy harvester controlled using a pendulum

A model of energy harvester based on a simple portal frame structure is presented. The system is considered to be non-ideal system (NIS) due to interaction with the energy source, a DC motor with limited power supply and the system structure. The nonlinearities present in the piezoelectric material are considered in the piezoelectric coupling mathematical model. The system is a bi-stable Duffing oscillator presenting a chaotic behavior. Analyzing the average power variation, and bifurcation diagrams, the value of the control variable that optimizes power or average value that stabilizes the chaotic system in the periodic orbit is determined. The control sensitivity is determined to parametric errors in the damping and stiffness parameters of the portal frame. The proposed passive control technique uses a simple pendulum to tuned to the vibration of the structure to improve the energy harvesting. The results show that with the implementation of the control strategy it is possible to eliminate the need for active or semi active control, usually more complex. The control also provides a way to regulate the energy captured to a desired operating frequency.     

Gauge invariance and the dirac equation

The gauge invariance of the Dirac equation is reviewed and gauge-invariant operators are defined. The Hamiltonian is shown to be gauge dependent, and an energy operator is defined which is gauge invariant. Gauge-invariant operators corresponding to observables are shown to satisfy generalized Ehrenfest theorems. The time rate of change of the expectation value of the energy operator is equal to the expectation value of the power operator. The virial theorem is proved for a relativistic electron in a time-varying electromagnetic field. The conventional approach to probability amplitudes, using the eigenstates of the unperturbed Hamiltonian, is shown in general to be gauge dependent. A gaugeinvariant procedure for probability amplitudes is given, in which eigenstates of the energy operator are used. The two methods are compared by applying them to an electron in a zero electromagnetic field in an arbitrary gauge. Presented at the Dirac Symposium, Loyola University, New Orleans, May 1981.     

Nanosecond resolution photography system for laser-induced cavitation based on PIV dual-head laser and industrial camera

The detailed study of the initial and collapse processes of the laser-induced cavitation requires nanosecond resolution (both nanoseconds exposure and nanoseconds interframe time) of the photography measurement system. The high-speed video cameras are difficult to achieve nanoseconds interval time. The framing and streak cameras are able to reach the nanosecond resolution, but their complex technology and expensive prices make them far from being commercially available. The present study builds a nanosecond resolution photography system based on PIV dual-head laser and conventional industrial camera. The exposure time of the photography system is controlled by the laser pulse width, which is 5 ns. The two heads of the PIV laser are operated independently thus the smallest time interval between two laser pulses can be set to less than 10 ns. A double-pulse per-exposure imaging technique is used to record the information from two laser pulses on single frame on a low-speed industrial camera. The nanosecond resolution photography system was applied to the laser-induced cavitation experiments to verify the reliability of the measurement results. The measurement of the shock wave velocity demonstrates the ability of the system to capture ultrafast phenomena, which reduces from 3611 m/s to approximately 1483 m/s within 400 ns. The experimental results also reveal the asymmetric evolution of laser-induced cavitation bubbles. The major axis of the ellipsoidal bubble has twice reversals along the laser propagation and perpendicular direction from the laser-induced breakdown to the first collapse.
