绿肥对华北潮土土壤可溶性有机物的影响

在华北潮土上种植不同绿肥,于绿肥翻压前原位采集其地上部及土壤样品,进行56d的绿肥翻压模拟试验。设毛叶苕子(Vicia villosa Roth.)、二月兰(Orychophragmus Violaceus L.)、黑麦(Secale cereale L.)三个绿肥处理和无绿肥对照处理,分析培养过程中土壤可溶性有机物(DOM)组分及其紫外-可见光谱参数的变化,以探究绿肥对土壤DOM的影响。种植和翻压绿肥增加土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)、总有机酸碳(TOAs)和总碳水化合物碳(TCs)含量,三者的变化趋势一致,各处理均在培养第1 d上升至峰值后迅速下降。毛叶苕子提高DOC和TOAs的效果最好,最高比对照增加114.01%(培养第1d)和109.10%(培养第14 d)。黑麦提高TCs的效果最好,最高比对照增加323.18%(培养第42 d)。种植和翻压绿肥增加土壤可溶性有机氮(DON)含量,与DOC变化趋势不同,各处理在培养第1 d上升后迅速下降一段时间后又迅速上升。毛叶苕子提高DON的效果最好,最高比对照增加305.83%(培养第42d)。绿肥增加了SUVA₂₅₄,SUVA₂₆₀,SUVA₂₇₂,SUVA₂₈₀,SAUC_240-400,降低了A₂₅₀/A₃₆₅和A₂₄₀/A₄₂₀。紫外-可见光谱参数的主成分分析显示SUVA₂₅₄,SUVA₂₆₀,SUVA₂₇₂,SUVA₂₈₀间有很高正相关性,A₂₅₀/A₃₆₅和A₂₄₀/A₄₂₀间亦有很高正相关性,SAUC_240-400是这些参数中表征DOM性质的关键因子。综上结果表明,种植翻压绿肥增加了土壤DOM含量,提高了土壤DOM的芳香性、疏水性、腐殖化程度、平均分子量,增加了土壤DOM的稳定性。     

Development and test of SEOP neutron spin filter in Japan

We have begun the development of an in-situ spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) system aiming to use it as a neutron spin filter for incident beam polarization at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). To use it, it is recommended that the optics be adjusted easily, have high stability, and have a small size. In this paper we improved our previous SEOP system aiming to use it in J-PARC and performed a neutron beam test at the JRR-3 NOP beamline to see the performance of the neutron spin filter (NSF). The polarization of the ³He gas reached 73%. This paper gives the present status of the development of in-situ SEOP system in J-PARC.     

Measurement of the neutron beam polarization of BL05/NOP beamline at J-PARC

We measured the neutron beam polarization of the BL05/NOP (Neutron Optics and Physics) beamline at J-PARC with an accuracy of less than 10⁻³ using polarized ³He gas as a neutron spin analyzer. Precise polarimetry of the neutron beam is necessary to understand the beamline optics as well as for the asymmetry measurements of the neutron beta decay, which are planned in this beamline.     

The role of sulfoglucuronosyl glycosphingolipids in the pathogenesis of monoclonal IgM paraproteinemia and peripheral neuropathy

In IgM paraproteinemia and peripheral neuropathy, IgM M-protein secretion by B cells leads to a T helper cell response, suggesting that it is antibody-mediated autoimmune disease involving carbohydrate epitopes in myelin sheaths. An immune response against sulfoglucuronosyl glycosphingolipids (SGGLs) is presumed to participate in demyelination or axonal degeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). SGGLs contain a 3-sulfoglucuronic acid residue that interacts with anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and the monoclonal antibody anti-HNK-1. Immunization of animals with sulfoglucuronosyl paragloboside (SGPG) induced anti-SGPG antibodies and sensory neuropathy, which closely resembles the human disease. These animal models might help to understand the disease mechanism and lead to more specific therapeutic strategies. In an in vitro study, destruction or malfunction of the blood-nerve barrier (BNB) was found, resulting in the leakage of circulating antibodies into the PNS parenchyma, which may be considered as the initial key step for development of disease.     

Crystallization behavior and origin of c-axis orientation in sol–gel-derived ZnO:Li thin films on glass substrates

Preferentially, c-axis-oriented lithium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Li) thin films were prepared on Pyrex borosilicate glass substrates by a sol–gel method starting from zinc acetate dihydrate, lithium chloride, 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine. Decomposition and crystallization behavior of dip-coated amorphous precursor films during post-annealing treatments were investigated by thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), optical transmittance measurements, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was revealed that the films contained the organic compounds at temperatures up to 300°C, which was the key to the transformation from the amorphous to the crystalline state. Thermodynamical consideration of nucleation and crystal growth was made taking account of surface energies of the film and the glass substrate and an interfacial energy between them. Mechanisms underlying the c-axis orientation were proposed based upon the initial orientation due to nucleation and final growth orientation.     

Correlation between fluorescence intermittency and spectral diffusion in single semiconductor quantum dots

We find a correlation between the dynamics of fluorescence intermittency and spectral diffusion in the spectroscopy of single CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots (QD). A statistical analysis of the data suggests two populations of blinking events: blinking followed by large spectral diffusion shifts and blinking with small or no spectral shifts. Although unexpected from earlier studies, the correlation between blinking and spectral shifting is consistent with a model of QD ionization as the mechanism for the blinking event, followed by a redistribution of local electric fields that results in spectral shifting.     

ESR study of amorphous Ge-S and Ge-S-Ag in bulk and film forms

The assignment of ESR signals in Ge-S glasses to certain types of defect has been proposed. The origin of the signal is two types of Ge dangling bond for GeS_x bulks with x < 2, and is two types of S dangling bond for those with x > 2. In the film sample with x > 2, the ESR center density is largely enhanced, and Ge dangling bonds exist in addition to S dangling bonds. The decrease of the ESR center density by Ag doping is explained by the reduction of randomness in the glass structure.     

Chaos and limit cycles in the Lorenz model

The Lorenz model is interpreted as a damping motion under a time-dependent force. The range of the Rayleigh number r in which limit cycles exist is studied by numerical simulation. The shape of the limit cycle is given.
