Theoretical Investigation of Transparent (3–5 μm) and High Reflective (1.3 μm) Filter by Sol-Gel Process

When designing a cut-off interference filter, extra layers are needed to add on each side of periodic symmetrical multilayer to match the incident medium and the substrate. In this paper, we use sol-gel film with adjustable refractive index as the match layer. The influence of the refractive index and thickness of the match layer on the film system is discussed in detail. As an example, a special filter which is transparent (>80%) at the wavelength 3–5 m and high reflective (>90%) at the wavelength 1.3 m is designed. Finally a series of optimized film parameters are presented. The whole design process is a good reference to the other multilayer special filter made by sol-gel process.     

Resonance Rayleigh scattering spectral characteristics of interaction of nucleic acids with some cationic surfactants and their analytical applications

In near neutral medium, the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensities of an alone cationic surfactant and nucleic acid are very weak. However, when they combine with each other to form a complex, the RRS intensity of the solution is enhanced greatly. In this paper the reactions of five cationic surfactants with nucleic acids have been studied. The results show that the reaction conditions and RRS spectral characteristics of these reactions are similar, but their sensitivities are obviously different. Among them, the sensitivity of cetyldimethyl benzylammonium chloride (CDBAC) with an aryl and large molecular weight is the highest, while that of cetyl-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) without aryl and with small molecular weight is the lowest. The detection limits for ctDNA and yRNA of the former are 6.6 and 29.4 ng · mL-1, while that of the latter are 13.3 and 53.6 ng · mL-1. The method has better selectivity and can be applied to the determination of trace amounts of nucleic acids. Furthermore, i

How electron flow controls the thermochemistry of the addition of olefins to nickel dithiolenes: predictions by density functional theory

The reaction of a nickel dithiolene complex (1) and ethylene is a two-step process, in which the trans-product (2) forms first in the direct addition of the olefin to 1, while the more thermodynamically stable cis-product (3) involves isomerization of 2. The introduction of electron-withdrawing groups (cyano or trifluoromethyl) not only significantly lowers the activation energy (TS1) for the formation of trans-product, but it also strongly stabilizes the products (2, 3) such that they are favored by the free energy. However, these substituents leave the barrier for the conformational transformation step (TS2) nearly unchanged. On reduction, the previously favored adduct is now strongly disfavored.     

掺镱双包层光纤放大器分布泵浦方式下的优化算法

 利用平均反转率迭代算法计算掺镱双包层光纤放大器分布泵浦方式下的稳态速率方程组，并采用遗传算法对分布泵浦功率的大小和每段光纤长度同时进行优化。评估函数中引入了每段光纤中最高温度的标准方差，以确保每段光纤中的最高工作温度是相同的。通过优化，7段泵浦的最高温度和标准方差分别为126.34 ℃和1.95 ℃ ，8段泵浦条件下的最高温度和标准方差分别为119.76 ℃和2.12 ℃。而未经优化的7段泵浦的最高温度和标准方差分别为147.12 ℃和21.37 ℃，8段泵浦条件下的最高温度和标准方差分别为139.95 ℃和20.83 ℃。计算结果表明：泵浦方式的优化降低了最高温度和标准方差，实现了光纤中温度分布的均匀性，并且通过增加泵浦段数可以进一步降低最高温度和平坦温度分布。

Prediction of programmed-temperature retention values of naphthas by artificial neural networks

It is proposed for the first time a method of prediction of the programmed-temperature retention times of components of naphthas in capillary gas chromatography using artificial neural networks. People are used to predict the programmed-temperature retention time using many formulas such as the integral formula, which requires that four parameters must be determined by calculation or experiments. However the results obtained by the formula are not so good to meet the demand of industry. In order to predict retention time accurately and conveniently, artificial neural networks using five-fold cross-validation and leave-20%-out methods have been applied. Only two parameters: density and isothermal retention index were used as input vectors. The average RMS error for predicted values of five different networks was 0.18, whereas the RMS error of predictions by the integral formula was 0.69. Obviously, the predictions by neural networks were much better than predictions by the formula, and neural networks need fewer parameters than the formula. So neural networks can successfully and conveniently solve the problem of predictions of programmed-temperature retention times, and provide useful data for analysis of naphthas in petrochemical industry.     

Flow injection kinetic spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid based on an inhibiting effect

A rapid and sensitive flow-injection kinetic spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of ascorbic acid. The procedure is based on the inhibiting effect of ascorbic acid on the enhancing effect of oxalate on the potassium dichromate-potassium iodide/rhodamine 6G system. The detection limit and linear ranges are 0.08 and 0.10-4.00 microg/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviation of 11 replicate measurements is less than 2.0%. This method has been successfully used to determine ascorbic acid in pharmaceuticals, tomatoes and oranges.

系统地研究了Gd掺杂对Bi2Sr2Ca1-xGdxCu2Oy单晶超导电性及各向异性电阻率的影响.Tc满足Tc/Tc,max=1-82.6(ax+b)2,并随Gd含量的增加而下降,这是由于Gd掺杂引起载流子浓度减小所导致.在x≥0.19时,ρab(T)在Tc附近有类半导体行为,dρab/dT随Gd含量增大而增大.ρc(T)呈半导体行为,并可用唯象公式ρc(T)=(a/T)exp(Δ/T)+bT+c加以描述.电阻率各向异性ρc/ρab随掺杂浓度增大而增大.     

Lyapunov exponents,dual Lyapunov exponents,and multifractal analysis

It is shown that the multifractal property is shared by both Lyapunov exponents and dual Lyapunov exponents related to scaling functions of one-dimensional expanding folding maps. This reveals in a quantitative way the complexity of the dynamics determined by such maps. (c) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
