Effect of Lead Contamination on Soil Microbial Activity Measured by Microcalorimetry

Microcalorimetry was used to investigate the microbial activity in three types of soil (orchard soil, crop soil, forest soil) in Wuhan, China, and to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of lead (Pb²⁺) on soil microbial activity. The experimental results revealed that due to different physical and chemical characteristics of the soils, soil microbial activity in three soil samples were in a descending sequence: orchards soil, crops soil, forest soil. Six levels of Pb viz. 0, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 μg·g⁻¹ were applied in these soils, and the results showed that an increase of the amount of Pb²⁺ is associated with a decrease in microbial activity in the soils due to the toxic effect of Pb²⁺. In order to gain further insight of the sequential change of microorganisms, determination of colony forming units (CFU) was performed to provide a negative linear correlation between the heat effect and the respective number of microorganisms in the system.     

Theoretical study of collision and collision-free radiative lifetimes of {{\text{S}}_2}\left( {{{\text{B}}^3}\Sigma_{\text{u}}^{-} \left( {{\upsilon^{\prime}} = 0 - 9} \right)} \right)

We calculate multireference configuration-interaction wavefunctions and the potential-energy curves for the $ {B^3}\Sigma_u^{-} $ and $ {X^3}\Sigma_g^{-} $ states of the collision-free S₂ molecule and the T-shape collision complex S₂?CHe using cc-pVQZ basis sets. We obtain the transition dipole moments of the $ {{\text{S}}_2}\left( {{B^3}\Sigma_u^{-} \to {X^3}\Sigma_g^{-} } \right) $ and the Franck?CCondon factors between the vibrational levels of this two states. We evaluate the radiative lifetimes of $ {{\text{S}}_2}\left( {{B^3}\Sigma_u^{-} \left( {{\upsilon^{\prime}} = 0 - 9} \right)} \right) $ levels of the collision complex and the collision-free molecule and compare them with the experiments. The collision provides little change in the radiative lifetimes of $ {{\text{S}}_2}\left( {{B^3}\Sigma_u^{-} \left( {{\upsilon^{\prime}} = 0 - 9} \right)} \right) $ according to the previous calculations. We obtain excellent agreement between the theoretical results and the experiments. The data calculated are very useful in the study of the microwave-driven high-pressure sulfur lamp and an S₂ laser pumped by a transverse fast discharge.     

高温高压处理对褐色CVD钻石谱学特征的影响

目前CVD法合成单晶钻石是超硬材料科学和宝石学关注的热点之一,该方法合成的单晶钻石常带有褐色调。通常采用高温高压法（HPHT）提高褐色CVD钻石的色级和透明度,在前期HPHT处理褐色CVD钻石实验基础上,选出颜色改善明显的三颗样品,对其处理前后谱学特征进行对比。采用紫外-可见吸收光谱、红外光谱、光致发光光谱、三维荧光光谱、激光拉曼光谱以及X射线摇摆曲线进行分析。结果表明,褐色和深褐色样品褪色温度较高,处理后样品紫外-可见吸收光谱吸收系数明显减小,透明度明显提高。样品中红外与近红外光谱显示,在1 332 cm-1处的吸收峰与N+中心有关,该中心是褐色CVD钻石常见特征。在3 124 cm-1处吸收峰与NVH0缺陷中心有关,该峰在CVD钻石和HPHT处理钻石中常见。另外在2 700~3 200 cm-1范围变化的一组吸收峰,与C-H键伸缩振动有关。高温对CVD钻石含H基团影响较大,在5~6 GPa压力下处理温度在1 500~1 700 ℃范围,会在近红外波段4 673,6 352,7 354,7 540,7 804和8 535 cm-1出现一组吸收峰,可指示样品经过较高温度处理。目前针对CVD钻石以及经过HPHT处理的CVD钻石近红外波段的论述较少,该研究可以为鉴定CVD钻石及HPHT处理CVD钻石提供依据。综合光致发光光谱和三维荧光光谱分析,处理后样品NV-缺陷比例减小,SiV-中心缺陷比例增加。在5~6 GPa压力下,仅当处理温度高于1 500 ℃时,样品三维荧光光谱在λ_ex/λ_em=500 nm/575 nm处荧光峰增强,在λ_ex/λ_em=490 nm/550 nm处荧光峰消失,从某种意义上该峰位变化可指示样品经过较高温度处理。物相分析结果显示,HPHT处理后CVD钻石在1 332 cm-1处拉曼位移半高宽和XRD摇摆曲线半高宽均减小,表现出了较好的一致性,说明经HPHT处理的褐色CVD钻石结晶质量变优。     

微流控芯片上的红细胞电泳淌度研究

以单细胞成像法分别测量了 3组无农药含水质净化剂、有农药无水质净化剂及其有农药有水质净化剂处理后的杂交鲤鱼红细胞在塑料 ( polymethalmethacrylate ,PMMA)微流控芯片上的电泳淌度。其值分别为 1.138× 10 -4、0 .12 79× 10 -4和 - 0 .85 2 0× 10 -4cm2 v-1s-1。从电泳淌度的差别可以看出功夫菊酯和水质条件恶化均可使鲤鱼红细胞表面的电荷密度发生变化 ,从而引起电泳淌度的变化。同时还初步考察了细胞电泳淌度作为参数进行细胞分类的可行性 ,显示这种淌度差别有可能作为细胞分类的一项依据     

一种新的快速解相位方法

提出了一种快速可靠的4步相移编码-解相位算法。通过对中心条纹的光强进行摄动,将编码信息加入到基本相移光栅中,使4幅基本相移图不但包含了相位场主值信息,还包含了解相位所需的编码信息。建立了摄动度函数描述相移图的摄动信息进而得到编码信息,解出完整的相位值。对摄动度函数的误差和噪声进行分析,提出方向滤波方法来消除噪声,极大地减少了编码信息的误判情况。仿真和实验证实了本算法的可行性。与传统相移法相比,解相位的速度和可靠性得到明显的提高。     

Development of the Argonne positron source APosS

In this paper we discuss the progress at Argonne National Laboratory with the APosS. We outline possible improvements that can increase the flux of positrons by increasing the electron current on target or by modification of the positron converter. We discuss some new techniques that could increase moderation efficiency and thus further increase positron flux two to three orders of magnitude by making use of modern accelerator techniques.     

Investigation of dislocations in 8circ off-axis 4H-SiC epilayer

This paper reports that the etching morphology of dislocations in 8^circ off-axis 4H-SiC epilayer is observed by using a scanning electronic microscope. It is found that different types of dislocations correspond with different densities and basal plane dislcation (BPD) array and threading edge dislocation (TED) pileup group lie along some certain crystal directions in the epilayer. It is concluded that the elastic energy of threading screw dislocations (TSDs) is highest and TEDs is lowest among these dislocations, so the density of TSDs is lower than TEDs. The BPDs can convert to TEDs but TSDs can only propagate into the epilyer in spite of the higher elastic energy than TEDs. The reason of the form of BPDs array in epilayer is that the big step along the basal plane caused by face defects blocked the upstream atoms, and TEDs pileup group is that the dislocations slide is blocked by dislocation groups in epilayer.
