Coupled-channel analysis for 20.4 MeV energy of p-<Superscript>64</Superscript>Zn inelastic scattering

In this study, a coupled-channel (CC) analysis of the elastic and the inelastic scattering of 20.4 MeV polarized protons from a ⁶⁴Zn target leading to the deformed 2⁺, 3−, 2₂⁺2_2^+ states was performed. The CC potential parameters and the deformation parameters of the excited states corresponding to the best fit to the experimental differential cross-sections and the analysing powers data were determined. For 2₂⁺2_2^+ excited state, a mixed type was used and a good fit to the data was provided. The CC calculation results were compared to the pure distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculation results which were calculated using the new parameters. All calculations were conducted using the computer code ECIS06.     

Radon surveys with charcoal and liquid scintillation counting

A detection system for indoor radon using vials with activated charcoal adsorbant and liquid scintillation spectrometry for measurement has been tested thoroughly for months during different seasons. Deviation in the results of two days of exposure from the mean value were at most about ±30%. This system was chosen for a pilot project for large area surveillance in Mühlviertel, a granitic area in the federal state of upper Austria. The distribution system of the detectors is described. The measurement of more than 1200 vials within about two weeks was possible by using ultra low-level liquid scintillation counters (Quantulus). The highest value observed so far was 3150 Bq/m³. Comparing the ratios of the results from the three different measurement systems (charcoal, track etch, electret) significant but acceptable differences were found not only between track etch (3 months exposure) and activated charcoal (3 days exposure), but also between track etch and electret, which both had been exposed for three months. The data are discussed regarding the dose to the population.Note: This paper reflects the personal opinions of the authors.     

Effect of light on calcium transport in bull sperm cells.

The effect of light on calcium transport was studied. Bull sperm cells were irradiated with an He-Ne (630 mm) laser and a 780 nm diode laser at various energy doses, and 45Ca2+ uptake was measured by the filtration technique. It was found that there is an accelerated Ca2+ transport in the irradiated cells, which means that laser light can stimulate Ca2+ exchange through the cell membrane. This may cause transient changes in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration which, in spermatozoa, has a regulatory role in control of motility and acrosome reaction, and in other cells can trigger mitosis.     

Diastereoselective Hartwig-Buchwald reaction of chiral amines with rac-[2.2]paracyclophane derivatives

A Hartwig-Buchwald addition of a variety of chiral amines to rac-4-bromo-[2.2]paracyclophane and rac-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (4-[2.2]paracyclophane) ester was performed with high diastereoselectivities. Kinetic racemic resolution of the starting materials was achieved, providing a rapid access to enantiomerically enriched 4-bromo-[2.2]paracyclophane and the corresponding enantiomerically pure [2.2]paracyclophane amines. Additionally, the first reaction of a secondary amine with a [2.2]paracyclophane halide was achieved.     

Theory of resonance hyper-Raman induced by realistic coherent pulses

We present a theory of time-resolved and frequency-resolved resonance hyper-Raman induced by realistic, coherent, quasi-rectangular pulses. In particular, we treat the case where the mean frequency ω of the incident pulse is in near-resonance with the molecular transition frequency ω_mn. New peaks are predicted and saturation effects are discussed.

基频估计算法研究平均骨小梁间距

超声背散射信号能提供松质骨微结构信息从而能有效的诊断骨质疏松,而平均骨小梁间距(MTBS)是表征松质骨微结构的重要参数之一。本文提出了一种基频估计的MTBS估计算法,对仿真信号和离体牛胫骨松质骨中的超声背散射信号分别进行分析处理,并和现有的两种算法(简易反向滤波跟踪(SIFT)算法和AR倒谱法)进行比较。实验结果表明基频估计算法对噪声和随机散射回波有更好的鲁棒性,在信噪比较低和随机散射回波幅度较大时估计值更加精确,且有很好的方差性能。充分说明了本文算法是一种有效的MTBS估计算法。     

时频方法分析长骨中的超声导波及皮质骨厚度

超声导波在长骨中传播时,接收信号中含有相互叠加的多个导波模式。本文提出将希尔伯特-黄变换(HHT)用于分析叠加的多模式导波信号,将其分解成许多单个独立的模式,然后对分解出的模式求得其对应频率下的群速度,并与短时傅里叶变换所得的结果进行比较。通过与理论计算结果比较,可得到长骨皮质骨的厚度。研究结果表明,实验得到的厚度与实际厚度一致。说明通过测量导波模式的速度可以评价皮质骨的厚度,也说明HHT方法是一种识别叠加多模式导波信号的有效方法。
