Ultrasound imaging and evaluation of lesion induced by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

The present study was to investigate the differential imaging method for detecting HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)-induced lesions and the estimation of variation of attenuation for lesion evaluation with log spectral difference algorithm. Experiment results of bovine muscle and liver in vitro were acquired. Several algorithms for lesion detection - Absolute Difference (AD), Sum Absolute Differences (SAD) and Sum Squared Differences (SSD) - were analyzed with several window sizes and threshold values. Then three attenuation parameters were compared to evaluate the degree of tissue damage. It was found that variation of the mean attenuation △α was an effective parameter to evaluate lesions.     

Low Density Self-Assembled InAs/GaAs Quantum Dots Grown by Metal Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition

The self-assembled InAs quantum dots （QDs） on GaAs substrates with low density （5×10^8 cm^-2） are achieved using relatively higher growth temperature and low InAs coverage by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition. The macro-PL spectra exhibit three emission peaks at 1361, 1280 and 1204nm, corresponding to the ground level （GS）, the first excited state （ES1） and the second excited state （ES2） of the QDs, respectively, which are obtained when the GaAs capping layer is grown using triethylgallium and tertiallybutylarsine. As a result of micro-PL, only a few peaks from individual dots have been observed. The exciton-biexciton behaviour was clearly observed at low temperature.     

P-thiocresol 吸附在银纳米粒子表面系统的表面增强拉曼散射和表面增强共振拉曼散射的增强研究

文中从实验和计算两方面报道了在514.5 nm激发光下P-Thiocresol吸附在银胶表面系统的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS).文中分析了它的增强机制,发现增强主要来自于电磁场增强.如果考虑距离为2nm的两个银纳米粒子的耦舍效应,两粒子之间的SERS的电磁场增强为7.16 × 107.静态化学增强亦起到部分增强作用,它的增强倍数为6.所以,总的SERS增强,包括静态化学增强和电磁场增强,是Gtotal=Gsc ×GEM=4.4×108.我们也理论地研究了此系统的表面增强共振拉曼散射(SERRS).当激发光与P-Thiocresol-Ag3系统的激发态共振时,电荷转移机制(化学增强)也将起到重要作用,最强的增强可迭106.我们使用电荷密度将激发光下p-Thlocresol和Ag团簇问的电荷转移结果可视化,这是电荷转移的直接理论证据.对于SERRS增强,包括电荷转移和电磁场增强机制,能达到1013.     

边界元法循环平稳近场声全息理论研究

循环平稳声场是工程中经常遇到的一种特殊非平稳声场,声压信号受到调制作用,导致频谱出现边带现象,经典的近场声全息技术重建得到的声场无法反映声场的调制特性。在平面循环平稳近场声全息基础上,提出一种边界元法的循环平稳近场声全息技术,用二阶循环统计量理论代替传统的傅里叶分析,并以声压的循环谱密度取代其频谱及功率谱密度作为重建量,可用于循环平稳声场中具有复杂表面声源的辐射声场。由于循环谱密度对循环平稳信号具有解调功能,用该方法重建得到的循环谱密度能有效地反映调制和载波信号的信息。仿真分析与实验表明了本理论的有效性和精度能满足工程要求。

Simulation of the wave-absorbing model of a carbonyl iron / silver-coated core–shell structure

The microwave-absorbing performances of carbonyl iron powder / silver core–shell composite particles are studied on the basis of the electromagnetic scattering theory and the energy conservation law. In addition, a calculation method for reflection loss of the carbonyl iron powder / silver core–shell composite particles with microwave is proposed. The calculated reflection loss of the carbonyl iron powder / silver core–shell composite particles is compared with the experimental results. The findings show that the trend of reflection loss of the carbonyl iron powder / silver composite particles can be predicted which can subsequently provide a relevant reference for future experiment and calculation of the absorbing mechanism of electromagnetic wave-microscopic carbonyl iron powder / silver core–shell composite particles.     

Photoactivity passivation of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanoparticles using molecular layer deposited (MLD) polymer films

Pigment-grade anatase TiO₂ particles (160 nm) were passivated using ultra-thin insulating films deposited by molecular layer deposition (MLD). Trimethylaluminum (TMA) and ethylene glycol (E.G) were used as aluminum alkoxide (alucone) precursors in the temperature range of 100–160 °C. The growth rate varied from 0.5 nm/cycle at 100 °C to 0.35 nm/cycle at 160 °C. Methylene blue oxidation tests indicated that the photoactivity of pigment-grade TiO₂ particles was quenched after 20 cycles of alucone MLD film, which was comparable to 70 cycles of Al₂O₃ film deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Alucone films would decompose in the presence of water at room temperature and would form a more stable composite containing aluminum, which decreased the passivation effect on the photoactivity of TiO₂ particles.     

基于主成分分析的光谱重建训练样本选择方法研究

训练样本构成是影响光谱重建精度的一个重要因素,针对学习型光谱重建算法中训练样本选择问题,提出了一种基于主成分分析的训练样本选择方法。为了保证训练样本与重建样本的相似度,首先根据欧式距离最小原则从待选样本集中选择与重建样本相机响应值相似的样本,并去掉其中的重复样本;然后进行主成分分析;设定阈值筛选各主成分系数较大的样本作为训练样本,最后得到与主成分个数相同的训练样本子集。为验证该方法的有效性,通过在镜头前加载宽带滤色片搭建多通道图像获取系统采集多通道图像信息,将得到的各样本子集用作训练样本,利用伪逆法重建光谱信息,最后将重建的光谱精度与常用的训练样本及训练样本选择方法得到的重建光谱精度进行比较。实验结果表明：提出的方法显著提高了光谱重建的色度精度和光谱精度,优于常用的样本选择方法,能较大程度满足高精度颜色复制要求。     

Cross-linked gelatin/nanoparticles composite coating on micro-arc oxidation film for corrosion and drug release

A composite coating which could control drug release and biocorrosion of magnesium alloy stent materials WE42 was prepared. This composite coating was fabricated on the surface of the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) film of the magnesium alloy, WE42, by mixing different degrees of cross-linked gelatin with well-dispersed poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles. The PLGA nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation/extraction technique. Nano ZS laser diffraction particle size analyzer detected that the size of the nanoparticles to be 150-300 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to analyze the morphology of the nanoparticles and the composite coating. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of the composite coating. Drug release was determined by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer. The corrosion resistance of the composite coating was improved by preventing the corrosive ions from diffusing to the MAO films. The drug release rate of paclitaxel (PTX) exhibited a nearly linear sustained-release profile with no significant burst releases.
