Prior exposure to an attenuated <Emphasis Type="Italic">Listeria</Emphasis> vaccine does not reduce immunogenicity: pre-clinical assessment of the efficacy of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">Listeria</Emphasis>vaccine in the induction of immune responses against HIV

Background  

We have evaluated an attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) candidate vaccine vector in nonhuman primates using a delivery regimen relying solely on oral vaccination. We sought to determine the impact of prior Lm vector exposure on the development of new immune responses against HIV antigens.

Investigation of dibutyl phthalate as plasticizer on poly(methyl methacrylate)–lithium tetraborate based polymer electrolytes

Polymer electrolyte membranes, comprising of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), lithium tetraborate (Li₂B₄O₇) as salt and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as plasticizer were prepared using a solution casting method. The incorporation of DBP enhanced the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte. The polymer electrolyte containing 70 wt.% of poly(methyl methacrylate)–lithium tetraborate and 30 wt.% of DBP presents the highest ionic conductivity of 1.58 × 10⁻⁷ S/cm. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity study showed that these polymer electrolytes obey Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher (VTF) type behaviour. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to analyse the thermal stability of the polymer electrolytes. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) studies confirmed the complexation between poly(methyl methacrylate), lithium tetraborate and DBP.

Properties of a vector soliton laser passively mode-locked by a fiber-based semiconductor saturable absorber operating in transmission

We experimentally demonstrate a passively mode-locked fiber laser employing a fiber-based semiconductor saturable absorber (SSA) operating in transmission. Polarization rotation locked vector solitons are observed in the laser. Due to the intrinsic dynamic feature of the laser, period-doubling of these vector solitons has also been observed. Furthermore, extra spectral sidebands are formed on the optical spectrum, caused by the energy exchange between the two orthogonal polarization components of the vector solitons. By careful reduction of the pump power together with fine adjustment to the cavity birefringence, period-one state can further be obtained. Additionally, the phase noise properties of the vector soliton fiber laser have also been characterized experimentally and analytically.     

强流相对论性电子束在低压中性气体中传输的研究

本文给出了强流相对论性电子束(IREB)在低压中性气体中传输特性的理论和实验研究结果。660kV,40kA,脉宽100ns的电子束注入充有H_2,N_2的漂移管,稳定的传输气压范围在(0.7-6.7)×10~2Pa间,传输效率可达80％以上;极低气压时(P≈13.3Pa)由于空间电荷效应,束电子被虚阴极阻滞并径向发散,不能有效传输;而较高气压时,束电子除受自身电磁场作用及库仑碰撞散射外,等离子体不稳定性使束流传输效率明显降低。用蒙特·卡洛法及数值解析法对电荷中和、电流中和过程进行了模拟计算并解释了实验结果。     

Growth of Ni2Si by rapid thermal annealing: Kinetics and moving species

The growth kinetics is characterized and the moving species is identified for the formation of Ni₂Si by Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) of sequentially deposited Si and Ni films on a 100 Si substrate. The interfacial Ni₂Si layer grows as the square root of time, indicating that the suicide growth process is diffusion-limited. The activation energy is 1.25±0.2 eV in the RTA temperature range of 350–450° C. The results extend those of conventional steady-state furnace annealing quite fittingly, and a common activation energy of 1.3±0.2 eV is deduced from 225° to 450° C. The marker experiment shows that Ni is the dominant moving species during Ni₂Si formation by RTA, as is the case for furnace annealing. It is concluded that the two annealing techniques induce the same growth mechanisms in Ni₂Si formation.     

Construction of inclusions with vanishing generalized polarization tensors by imperfect interfaces

We investigate the problem of planar conductivity inclusion with imperfect interface conditions. We assume that the inclusion is simply connected. The presence of the inclusion causes a perturbation in the incident background field. This perturbation admits a multipole expansion of which coefficients we call as the generalized polarization tensors (GPTs), extending the previous terminology for inclusions with perfect interfaces. We derive explicit matrix expressions for the GPTs in terms of the incident field, material parameters, and geometry of the inclusion. As an application, we construct GPT-vanishing structures of general shape that result in negligible perturbations for all uniform incident fields. The structure consists of a simply connected core with an imperfect interface. We provide numerical examples of GPT-vanishing structures obtained by our proposed scheme.     

Singularly perturbed nonlinear second order elliptic equation

In this paper, we study singular perturbation problems of some semi-linear second order elliptic equations with nonlinear boundary value conditions: where ε is a small positive parameter and u/ l is a directional derivative, which lies on an oblique vector (x,ε). We have given a construction of the asymptotic solutions and proof of their asymptotic correctness, which is based on the principle of contraction mapping.
