HL-2M偏滤器CFC/CuCrZr靶板的非晶钎焊工艺研究

在采用商用的STEMET-1101非晶钎料、温度为710~750°C的真空钎焊下,对CFC/OFC(氯氟烃/无氧铜)复合块与CuCrZr(铬锆铜)的钎焊进行了研究。首先,通过X-射线衍射(XRD)和差式扫描量热分析对钎料的结构和熔化行为进行了表征;然后,通过光学显微镜、电子探针微分析和拉伸试验等方法对焊缝的组织形貌、元素成分分布、相结构和力学性能进行了分析;最后,通过高热负荷装置对CFC/OFC/CuCrZr钎焊模块的热疲劳性能进行测试。结果表明,在710~750°C钎焊温度内焊缝由Cu固溶体、(Cu, Ni)3P和Ni(Cu ,Cr)2P金属间化合物组成,焊缝平整无裂纹;特别是在750°C/15min情况下,抑制了焊缝金属间化合物的连续分布,OFC/CuCrZr的焊接强度大于OFC的抗拉强度,CuCrZr/CuCrZr的结合强度为210MPa,并呈现部分韧性断裂。在750°C/15min情况下制备的CFC/Cu/CuCrZr模块可以承受1000次7MW·m^-2的循环热负荷。     

Circulation times of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by in vivo flow cytometry

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） may metastasize to many organs. The survival rate is almost zero for metastatic HCC patients. Molecular mechanisms of HCC metastasis need to be understood better and new therapies must be developed. We have developed the ＂in vivo microscopy＂ to study the mechanisms that govern liver tumor cells spreading through the microenvironment in vivo. A recently developed ＂in vivo flow cytometer＂ combined with real-time confocal fluorescence imaging is used to assess spreading and the circulation kinetics of liver tumor cells. We measure the depletion kinetics of two related human HCC cell lines, high-metastatic HCCLM3 cells and low-metastatic HepG2 cells, which are from the same origin and obtained by repetitive screenings in mice. More than 60% of the HCCLM3 cells are depleted within the first hour. Interestingly, the low-metastatic HepG2 cells possess noticeably slower depletion kinetics. In comparison, less than 40% of the HepG2 cells are depleted within the first hour. The differences in depletion kinetics might provide insights into early metastasis processes.

A Direct Experimental Evidence of Collective Electron Resonance Mechanism of Surface Enhanced Infrared Spectroscopy (Seirs)

Abstract

We report here the preliminary results of the surface enhanced transmission infrared spectra of CH₃(CH₂)₇Azo(CH₂)₃COOH monolayers on CaF₂ substrate which was coated by silver island films with different size and distribution. The larger enhancement of absorbance of v(C=O) in COOH residing between silver island gap and small enhancement of absorbance of vibration mode of COO^? located on the silver islands are observed. It give us a direct experimental evidence of the collective electron resonance mechanism of surface enhance infrared spectroscopy (SEIRS), i.e. the decrease of the electromagnetic (EM) coupling reduces the enhancement factor of SEIRS.

Abstract

A novel and simple two-frequency Brillouin fiber laser is presented. It is based on a fiber Fabry-Perot cavity with fiber Bragg gratings as reflectors. The model of stimulated Brillouin scattering in fiber grating–based Fabry-Perot resonator is investigated. The laser allows conversion efficiency of close to 100% and suppresses the higher-order Stokes waves. The theoretical prediction is presented and the experimental demonstration is realized.     

Technical Reports: Time-Resolved Activities at the Advanced Photon Source Requiring the Pulsed Structure of the X-ray Beam

Scientific research in the time domain using the pulsed structure of the X-ray beams from a third-generation synchrotron source, such as the Advanced Photon Source (APS), has become a major interest among synchrotron users. The traditional material science, chemistry, and biology communities are getting an early glimpse of the potential impact of fast time-resolved X-ray studies. The scientific disciplines that have benefited from these studies include atomic and molecular physics, biology, chemical science, condensed matter physics, engineering science, environmental science, material science, and nuclear science. Technically, the turn-key-type femtosecond (fs) optical lasers with high peak power, used as pumps in many X-ray pump-probe experiments, have only recently become available.     

Sparsity-constrained SENSE reconstruction: An efficient implementation using a fast composite splitting algorithm

Parallel imaging and compressed sensing have been arguably the most successful and widely used techniques for fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recent studies have shown that the combination of these two techniques is useful for solving the inverse problem of recovering the image from highly under-sampled k-space data. In sparsity-enforced sensitivity encoding (SENSE) reconstruction, the optimization problem involves data fidelity (L2-norm) constraint and a number of L1-norm regularization terms (i.e. total variation or TV, and L1 norm). This makes the optimization problem difficult to solve due to the non-smooth nature of the regularization terms. In this paper, to effectively solve the sparsity-regularized SENSE reconstruction, we utilize a new optimization method, called fast composite splitting algorithm (FCSA), which was developed for compressed sensing MRI. By using a combination of variable splitting and operator splitting techniques, the FCSA algorithm decouples the large optimization problem into TV and L1 sub-problems, which are then, solved efficiently using existing fast methods. The operator splitting separates the smooth terms from the non-smooth terms, so that both terms are treated in an efficient manner. The final solution to the SENSE reconstruction is obtained by weighted solutions to the sub-problems through an iterative optimization procedure. The FCSA-based parallel MRI technique is tested on MR brain image reconstructions at various acceleration rates and with different sampling trajectories. The results indicate that, for sparsity-regularized SENSE reconstruction, the FCSA-based method is capable of achieving significant improvements in reconstruction accuracy when compared with the state-of-the-art reconstruction method.     

GESFIDE-PROPELLER Approach for Simultaneous R2 and R2* Measurements in the Abdomen

Purpose

To investigate the feasibility of combining GESFIDE with PROPELLER sampling approaches for simultaneous abdominal R2 and R2* mapping.

Materials and Methods

R2 and R2* measurements were performed in 9 healthy volunteers and phantoms using the GESFIDE-PROPELLER and the conventional Cartesian-sampling GESFIDE approaches.

Results

Images acquired with the GESFIDE-PROPELLER sequence effectively mitigated the respiratory motion artifacts, which were clearly evident in the images acquired using the conventional GESFIDE approach. There was no significant difference between GESFIDE-PROPELLER and reference MGRE R2* measurements (p = 0.162) whereas the Cartesian-sampling based GESFIDE methods significantly overestimated R2* values compared to MGRE measurements (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The GESFIDE-PROPELLER sequence provided high quality images and accurate abdominal R2 and R2* maps while avoiding the motion artifacts common to the conventional Cartesian-sampling GESFIDE approaches.     

The nonlinear theory of slow-wave electron cyclotron masers with inclusion of the beam velocity spread

The nonlinear theory of slow-wave electron cyclotron masers (ECM) with an initially straight electron beam is developed. The evolution equation of the nonlinear beam electron energy is derived. The numerical studies of the slow-wave ECM efficiency with inclusion of Gaussian beam velocity spread are presented. It is shown that the velocity spread reduces the interaction efficiency.
