低光泽度印刷色谱色貌数据组的建立与评价

色貌预测是现代颜色科学领域的基本理论和技术。为了评价低光泽度彩色印刷色谱的色貌,以丽印胶版纸印制的彩色印刷色谱为研究对象,根据颜色科学和心理物理学相关实验,建立其色貌参数样本数据组。采用相对系数R2和差异系数CV等数理统计方法,评价这种印刷色谱中Y-M内页在三种不同的照明光源下色貌的视觉评估结果。实验数据分析表明,在D65、A和TL84三种光源中,人眼在A光源下对颜色的识别能力明显不同于D65和TL84光源;同样在这三种光源中人眼对明度和色调的评估准确度最高,彩度最差。     

Self-organization of a carbide superlattice during deposition of carbon on Mo

Formation and evolution of a carbide superlattice (SL) during C deposition on Mo have been studied using molecular beam epitaxy techniques. The ordering of the SL is energetically driven, such that the interplay between strain and surface energies determines the length scale of the SL. Surface precipitation of C occurs within a narrow range of SL spacing that appears to control the size and spacing of the precipitates leading to a possible mechanism for nucleation of single-walled carbon nanotubes.     

Left ventricular 4D echocardiogram motion and shape analysis

The article describes the methodology and the processes of modeling the function and the motion of left ventricle using transesophageal echocardiograph. The parameters can be used in studying the functionality of left ventricle, the status of abnormality of myocardial, and the geometric and morphological of left ventricle in shape analysis. The parameters describes the motion of left ventricle are the left ventricular (LV) floating long axis, the morphological parameters. The LV morphological parameters describe the wall motion, the LV chamber cavity variation, the effective R-ratio of endomyocardial chamber of LV, the area surface curvature, and the global surface curvature circularity. The parameters such as stroke volume, ejection fraction used in evaluation of LV functions are also extracted.     

Experimental observation of a striking similarity between quantum hall transport coefficients

The derivative of the Quantum Hall resistance, ρ_xy, with respect to the carrier density, n, has been measured for a two-dimensional electron gas in a GaAs-Al_xGa_1?xAs heterostructure, as a function of magnetic field. dρ_xy/dn exhibits a remarkable similarity to the diagonal resistivity, ρ_xy, to the extent that one is almost directly proportional to the other. Our result suggests the possibility of a fundamental connection between the two quantities.     

Novel germanium-based magnetic semiconductors

Epitaxial synthesis and properties of novel Co and Mn-doped Ge magnetic semiconductors were studied. Epitaxial growth of high quality films with high doping concentrations has been stabilized by the use of two dopants. The magnetic and transport properties of the system exhibit high T(C) and large magnetoresistance effects that can be controlled systematically by the doping concentration. The maximum T(C) achieved in the semiconducting materials is approximately 270 K at a composition of Co0.12Mn0.03Ge0.85.     

Reorientation of anisotropy in a square well quantum hall sample

We have measured magnetotransport at half-filled high Landau levels in a quantum well with two occupied electric subbands. We find resistivities that are isotropic in perpendicular magnetic field but become strongly anisotropic at nu = 9/2 and 11/2 on tilting the field. The anisotropy appears at an in-plane field, B(ip) approximately 2.5 T, with the easy-current direction parallel to B(ip) but rotates by 90 degrees at B(ip) approximately 10 T and points now in the same direction as in single-subband samples. This complex behavior is in quantitative agreement with theoretical calculations based on a unidirectional charge density wave state model.     

Parallel magnetic field induced transition in transport in the dilute two-dimensional hole system in GaAs

A magnetic field applied parallel to the two-dimensional hole system in the GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, which is metallic in the absence of an external magnetic field, can drive the system into insulating at a finite field through a well-defined transition. The value of resistivity at the transition is found to depend strongly on density.     

Using 1 MHz pulse-echo ultrasound externally applied to detect mastoid effusion: cadaver experiments

The objective of this study is to explore the feasibility of using ultrasound to detect mastoid effusion (ME). In the past, ultrasound has been used to measure middle ear effusion (MEE) by injecting water into the external ear canal to measure echoes from the tympanic membrane, which is uncomfortable for the patient. It has been shown that air cells in the mastoid of patients with MEE are filled with fluid, which implies that ME could be a useful indicator of MEE. This study suggests using ultrasound to detect ME as a potentially noninvasive approach for MEE detection. In vitro experiments were performed on ten cadaver samples of the human ear. A single-element 1 MHz transducer was used to measure the mastoid of each cadaver before and after injecting water into the mastoid. The experimental results showed that the relative amplitudes of ultrasonic signals differed significantly between before (0.24 ± 0.09, mean ± standard deviation) and after (0.15 ± 0.03) the water injection (p < 0.05, t-test), demonstrating that the ultrasonic reflection can be used to detect ME. The location of the human mastoid under the skin behind the ear allows external measurements, and hence ultrasound-based ME detection may be an alternative, noninvasive diagnostic approach to detecting MEE in the future, providing an examination that avoids discomfort.     

Synthesis and properties of reactive liquid crystal monomers and side-chain liquid crystalline polymers

Two nematic liquid crystal (LC) monomers containing double bonds in the side chain were designed and synthesised. Length of the side groups varied from 1 to 2 methylene units. The side-chain polymers were synthesised by hydrosilylation reaction. The molecular structures of the intermediates and the LC monomers were characterised by Fourier transform infrared, elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The thermal phase behaviour of the monomers and polymers were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polar optical microscopy coupled with hot stage. The LC monomers showed only one nematic mesophase in the cooling process. And, the two polymers exhibit an enantiotroppic nematic mesophase either in the heating or in the cooling process.
