地基多轴DOAS仪器的NO2斜柱浓度对比研究

介绍了两台地基多轴DOAS仪器测量的NO2斜柱浓度的对比研究。利用日本海洋研究开发机构的一套多轴DOAS设备在2009年11月—12月31日期间16d的观测数据,与安光所自主研发的一套多轴DOAS设备测量的NO2差分斜柱浓度进行了对比。通过对比发现,采用自动调整积分时间的方法,与固定积分时间的设置相比仪器具有更高的信噪比;两套仪器的反演结果在小角度下具有比较好的一致性,相关系数高达0.995,但随着角度的增大相关性逐渐变差。在9点至16点时段内相对偏差较小,其中20°方向的结果最为接近,最小偏差仅有12%,但在9点前和16点后二者偏差增大。日方仪器在可见波段的反演结果明显好于紫外波段,反演中的剩余噪声减小了60%以上,同时在可见波段的差分斜柱浓度的计算结果与我们的多轴DOAS在紫外波段的计算结果在全天都具有非常好的一致性。     

A Construction of Einstein-Weyl Spaces via LeBrun-Mason Type Twistor Correspondence

We construct infinitely many Einstein-Weyl structures on of signature (− + +) which is sufficiently close to the model case of constant curvature, and on which the space-like geodesics are all closed. Such a structure is obtained as a parameter space of a family of holomorphic disks which is associated to a small perturbation of the diagonal of . The geometry of constructed Einstein-Weyl spaces is well understood from the configuration of holomorphic disks. We also review Einstein-Weyl structures and their properties in the former half of this article.

A new experimental technique for generating anaglyph stereo images for sculpture arts

Abstract  

In this paper, a new experimental technique for generating anaglyph stereo images for three-dimensional visualization of sculpture arts is proposed. The images are taken at fixed distance using the imaging system consisting of single CCD camera and turntable. This system allows generation of stereo images at variable distances from the target object. The feasibility study of this technique is demonstrated by showing some anaglyph stereo images of a sculpture art.

Monitoring redox-sensitive paramagnetic contrast agent by EPRI, OMRI and MRI

A comparative study of tissue redox-status imaging using commonly used redox sensitive nitroxides has been carried out using electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI), Overhauser magnetic resonance imaging (OMRI) and conventional T(1)-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, MRI. Imaging studies using phantoms of different nitroxides at different concentration levels showed that EPRI and OMRI sensitivities were found to be linearly dependent on line width of nitroxides up to 2 mM, and the enhancement in MRI intensity was linear up to 5 mM. The sensitivity and resolution of EPRI and OMRI images depended significantly on the line width of the nitroxides whereas the MRI images were almost independent of EPR line width. Reduction of the paramagnetic 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl (3CP) by ascorbic acid (AsA) to the diamagnetic by hydroxylamine was monitored from a sequence of temporal images, acquired using the three imaging modalities. The decay rates determined by all the three modalities were found to be similar. However the results suggest that T(1)-weighted MRI can monitor the redox status, in addition to providing detailed anatomical structure in a short time. Therefore, a combination of MRI with nitroxides as metabolically responsive contrast agents can be a useful technique for the in vivo imaging probing tissue redox status.     

Automated odor-sensing system based on plural semiconductor gas sensors and computerized pattern recognition techniques

Although odor is an inherent characteristic of chemical substances, no methods to measure or identify odor objectively have been available. A computerized method for classification and identification of odor is reported. Odors are detected by using eight semiconductor gas-sensor elements which have different sensing properties for gases; the output from the odor-detecting apparatus for a gas sample is represented by an 8-dimensional vector. The vectors for 30 substances were examined by clustering analysis and four obvious clusters were observed. These clusters corresponded to ethereal, etherealminty, ethereal-pungent and pungent substances.
