TDDFT Study on the Electronic Excitations and First Hyperpolarizabilities of Mixed-metal Carbonyl Clusters W2Ir2（μ-L）（CO）8（η^5-C5H4Me）2（L = dppe/dppf）

Mixed-metal carbonyl clusters of W2Ir2（CO）10（η^5-C5H4Me）2 1 and W2Ir2（μ-L）（CO）8（η^5-C5H4Me）2 （L = dppe 2, dppf 3） have been studied by TDDFT method focusing on their electronic and nonlinear optical properties. These three clusters exhibit the first static hyperpolarizabilities of medium magnitude （βtot-10×10^-30 esu）. The origin of β is discussed by the new proposed orbital-pair decomposition scheme by Barandes et al. The result suggests that the β values of the two clusters are mainly originated from d-d electron transition within the metal skeleton, and d-p （π＊） electron transition from metals to carbonyls and phenyl. The additional coordination by the electron donor group, ferrocene, makes cluster 3 own much larger β values, and the relatively longer range charge transfer from d orbitals of ferrocene to d orbirals of Ir and W is responsible for the enhanced β values.     

High density barium sulphate as an MRI oral contrast

High density barium sulphate suspension was investigated as an oral contrast on MRI. On 30 consecutive subjects, the stomach (in all cases) and the two first portions of the duodenum (in 21 cases) were filled with the suspension. This oral contrast behaved as a negative contrast, being hypointense on all pulse sequences (spin-echo T1-weighted, spin-echo T2-weighted and STIR). This characteristic is probably due to the low proton density of the suspension (260 +/- 40). Since barium sulphate is inexpensive, harmless and available on all radiologic departments, it is recommendable in MRI studies of the liver and head of the pancreas.     

ON THE BEHAVIOR OF PHASE TRANSITION SHOWN IN DISASSYMBLY PROCESSES OF VERY HOT AND DILUTE FINITE NUCLEAR SYSTEMS

The behaviors of phase transition shown in disassymbly processes of very hot and dilute finite nuclear system have been exposed by using canonical (microcanonical) ensemble Monte Carlo simulation.It is explained that they result from the competition between Coulomb interaction and the effect of finiteness.

Charge fluctuations in Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy

A hadron and string cascade model, JPCIAE, together with the corresponding Monte Carlo event generator, has been employed in this paper to investigate further the charge fluctuations in Au+Au collisions at Snn = 130 GeV. The default JPCIAE calculations are in good agreement with PHENIX and STAR data. We found that the thermal predictions for the π gas, the resonance π gas and quark matter deviate, respectively, from the corresponding dynamical simulations from the JPCIAE model. The discrepancies were also found between the π charge fluctuations and the charge fluctuations of all species of hadrons. However the charge fluctuations for "π from ρ and ω decay" and for all the hadrons from resonance decay are close to each other, indicating the correlation between positively and negatively charged hadrons is not sensitive to the species of hadrons. This work shows further that it is questionable to use the charge fluctuations as a signature of QGP.     

催化光度法测定痕量钒——钒(Ⅴ)-溴甲酚紫-过氧化氢体系

催化光度法测定钒已有报道[1～3],在0.45 mol·L-1磷酸介质及加热条件下,过氧化氢氧化溴甲酚紫褪色反应非常缓慢,而痕量钒对此反应具有较高的催化活性,且在一定浓度范围内,钒量与褪色反应程度呈线性关系,据此可建立测定痕量钒的方法.方法的检出限为1.9×10-6g·L-1,测定范围为0.003～1.8 mg·L-1.方法操作简便,重现性好,用于钢样中痕量钒的测定,结果满意.

Temporal evolution of the3H levels in the surface waters around the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant

We have quantified the evolution during 1994 of the impact on the Tagus river of liquid releases of³H (51.3 TBq in the cited year), originating from the functioning of the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant, and conditioned by the management of the cooling reservoir water. Taking into account, on the one hand, that tritiated water is hydrodynamically indistinguishable from untritiated water when both form part of the same mass of liquid, and, on the other, the practically null stratification and forced circulation of the water in the cited cooling reservoir, together with the hydrological fluxes interchanged between the said reservoir and the Tagus river (which is entirely regulated in the section under study and, because of prolonged drought, had a relatively small flow during the study period), we were able to model satisfactorily the temporal evolution of the³H activity in the cooling reservoir.
