The impact of cellulose structure on binding interactions with hemicellulose and pectin

Four cellulose substrates including highly crystalline cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) from Gluconacetobacter xylinus (cellulose Iα) or cotton (cellulose Iβ) and amorphous cellulose derived from CNWs (phosphoric acid swollen cellulose nanowhiskers, PASCNWs) were used to explore the interaction between cellulose and well-defined xyloglucan, xylan, arabinogalactan and pectin. The binding behavior was characterized by adsorption isotherm and Langmuir models. The maximum adsorption and the binding constant of xyloglucan, xylan and pectin to any CNWs were always higher than to PASCNWs derived from the same source. The binding affinity of xyloglucan, xylan and pectin to G. xylinus cellulose was generally higher than to cotton cellulose, showing that binding interactions depended on the biological origin of cellulose and associated differences in its structure. The surface area, porosity, crystal plane and degree of order of cellulose substrate may all impact the interactions.     

Direct Henry reactions with modified calcium oxide as solid catalyst

Commercial CaO was modified simply with benzyl bromide. The modified CaO had good water resistance, and characterization by FTIR and TG revealed the modifier was chemically bonded to the CaO surface. Commercial CaO and CaO modified with benzyl bromide were investigated as catalysts for the Henry reaction between benzaldehyde and nitromethane. It was found that the catalytic activity of the modified CaO was greatly improved, with high conversion of benzaldehyde to the (E)-phenyl nitroolefin and 1-phenyl-2-nitroethanol, and with different selectivity from commercial CaO. The effect of modification and reaction conditions on yield, selectivity, and mechanism were studied thoroughly.     

有磁和无磁状态下YIG和YAG晶体高压下的声速和衰减

 YAG晶体是一种无磁石榴石,YIG晶体是铁磁石石榴石。通过对YAG和YIG晶体在高压加磁场和不加磁场条件下,研究铁磁石榴石和无磁石榴石晶体的超声行为。采用“回波重合法”测量声速,通过比较回波的幅度进行衰减的测量。我们发现,不存在磁场时,有磁石榴石和无磁石榴石在高压条件下声速和声衰减有类似的变化行为。我们也发现,无论有无高压,在YAG晶体中不存在磁声相互作用,而在YIG晶体中,则存在磁声相互作用。     

磁镜装置中ECR等离子体硬X射线强度观测

本文描述用硬X射线针孔成象法测量简单磁镜装置中ECR等离子体辐射特性的方法及其结果。这种非破坏性的成象法,直接显示了热电子等离子体的空间分布,一次放电可成一帧清晰的象,且由此可得出二维的等发射强度线。大量结果表明电子环是非轴对称的,并非为一个整环,而是在微波注入口的对面有一个缺口。当微波功率改变时,环也在改变。     

抽真空获取1.8K超流氦方案分析以及真空泵抽速的预测

低温地面支持系统(CGSE)是专为AMS-02国际合作科学实验项目开发研究的低温地面支持和冷却系统,该系统要完成将AMS-02超导磁体从环境温度到1.8K的冷却过程,超流氦(HeII)的获得是其重要环节。文中针对抽真空获取HeII的方案进行了比较详细的分析和计算,同时针对此方案给出了其物理过程的T-s图、流程简图和实现该过程的主要设备。最后针对此方案,对真空泵抽速进行了预测,这将对后续阶段真空泵的选型具有指导意义。     

New terahertz dispersive device for single-shot spectral measurements of terahertz pulse

A new terahertz dispersive device designed for single-shot spectral measurements of broadband terahertz pulses is proposed. With two-dimensional quasi-randomly distributed element design, the device exhibits approximately the dispersive property of single-order diffraction in far field. Its far-field diffraction pattern is experimentally verified employing a continuous terahertz source centered at 2.52 THz and a pyroelectric focal-plane-array camera, which is in good agreement with the numerical result. The device provides a new approach for direct single-shot spectral measurements of broadband terahertz waves.     

模拟回火马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗全波形分析方法

针对传统的全波形分析方法不能快速自动处理全波形数据的缺点,提出了一种模拟回火马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗全波形分析法,用于求解全波形数据中的波峰数和峰值位置等参量.该方法采用Metropolis更新策略求解波峰数量和噪声两个参量,以达到快速求解的目的;而峰值位置和波峰幅值则采用改进的模拟回火策略求解,通过添加的主动干预回火步骤实现对参量更新过程的有效探测,以满足对速度或运算收敛性的要求.模拟回火马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗全波形分析方法以马尔可夫算法为基础,仍保持马氏链的收敛性,从而保证本方法具有良好的鲁棒性,实现对全波形数据的自动化处理.
