Preliminary shielding analysis in support of the CSNS target station shutter neutron beam stop design

The construction of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) has been initiated in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. Thus a detailed radiation transport analysis of the shutter neutron beam stop is of vital importance. The analyses are performed using the coupled Monte Carlo and multi-dimensional discrete ordinates method. The target of calculations is to optimize the neutron beamline shielding design to guarantee personal safety and minimize cost. Successful elimination of the primary ray effects via the two-dimensional uncollided flux and the first collision source methodology is also illustrated. Two-dimensional dose distribution is calculated. The dose at the end of the neutron beam line is less than 2.5 μSv/h. The models have ensured that the doses received by the hall staff members are below the standard limit required.     

Design and end chamfer simulation of PEFP beam line curved dipole magnets

The design, fabrication and field measurement of 11 DC curved dipole magnets for the PEFP Beam Line have been completed. In this paper, a design method for a complex end chamfer using OPERA-3D is proposed. The conventional method for estimating chamfer shape is extended and applied to a curved dipole magnet by a coordinate transformation. Using the interface with CAD software, the complex end chamfer is modeled and fully determined by 3D simulation to meet the field uniformity requirement. The magnetic field measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation. The design considerations, field simulation results, end chamfer development process and measurement results are presented in detail.     

GENERALIZED OPERATORS AND OPERATOR-VALUED DISTRIBUTIONS IN QUANTUM FIELD THEORY

The relation between generalized operators and operator-valued distributions is discussed so that these two viewpoints can be used alternatively to explain quantum fields.

The Non-Singularity and Regularity of GP-Vˊ-Rings

In this paper,we introduce a non-trivial generalization of ZI-rings-quasi ZI-rings.A ring R is called a quasi ZI-ring,if for any non-zero elements a,b ∈ R,ab = 0 implies that there exists a positive integer n such that an = 0 and anRbn = 0.The non-singularity and regularity of quasi ZI,GP-Vˊ-rings are studied.Some new characterizations of strong regular rings are obtained.These effectively extend some known results.

A self-intermolecular cyclocondensation reaction of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2-thione(DHPM) to give a novel tricyclic structure containing DHPM core in the presence of diethyl azodicarboxylate(DEAD) and triphenylphosphine(TPP) at room temperature is reported.     

Expression and Characterization of the Intracellular Part of Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase PTPRU

PTPRU is an MAM domain-containing receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase. Previous studies have demonstrated an important role of the enzyme in the maintenance of epithelial integrity and in the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. To better understand the function of PTPRU, we cloned and expressed the intracellular portion of PTPRU as a GST fusion protein in E. coli cells. We purified the protein to homogeneity and used it to immunize mice for antibody production. The resultant antibody s...
