Transport and abatement of fluorescent silica nanoparticle (SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> NP) in granular filtration: effect of porous media and ionic strength

The extensive production and application of engineered silica nanoparticles (SiO₂ NPs) will inevitably lead to their release into the environment. Granular media filtration, a widely used process in water and wastewater treatment plants, has the potential for NP abatement. In this work, laboratory-scale column experiments were performed to study the transport and retention of SiO₂ NPs on three widely used porous materials, i.e., sand, anthracite, and granular activated carbon (GAC). Synthetic fluorescent core-shell SiO₂ NPs (83 nm) were used to facilitate NP detection. Sand showed very low capacity for SiO₂ filtration as this material had a surface with limited surface area and a high concentration of negative charge. Also, we found that the stability and transport of SiO₂ NP were strongly dependent on the ionic strength of the solution. Increasing ionic strength led to NP agglomeration and facilitated SiO₂ NP retention, while low ionic strength resulted in release of captured NPs from the sand bed. Compared to sand, anthracite and GAC showed higher affinity for SiO₂ NP capture. The superior capacity of GAC was primarily due to its porous structure and high surface area. A process model was developed to simulate NP capture in the packed bed columns and determine fundamental filtration parameters. This model provided an excellent fit to the experimental data. Taken together, the results obtained indicate that GAC is an interesting material for SiO₂ NP filtration.

Frequency discrimination in forward and backward masking.

Frequency difference limens for pure tones preceded by a forward masker or followed by a backward masker were obtained across a wide range of signal levels. Relkin and Doucet [Hear. Res. 55, 215-222 (1991)] have shown that at a masker-signal delay of 100 ms, the thresholds of high-SR (spontaneous rate) auditory-nerve fibers are recovered, while the low-SR fiber thresholds are not. Therefore, forward-masked frequency discrimination potentially offers a method to investigate the role of low-SR fibers in the coding of frequency. It has been shown that when an intense forward masker is presented 100 ms before a pure-tone signal, intensity difference limens are elevated for mid-level signals [Zeng et al., Hear. Res. 55, 223-230 (1991)]. However, Plack and Viemeister [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 92, 3097-3101 (1992)] have shown that a similar elevation in the intensity difference limen is obtained under conditions of backward masking, where selective adaptation of the auditory neurons would not be expected to occur. A condition of backward-masked frequency discrimination was therefore included to investigate the role of interference resulting from adding additional stimuli to a discrimination task. For signals at 1000 and 6000 Hz, there was no effect of a forward masker upon frequency difference limens. For the backward-masked conditions, an elevation of the frequency difference limen was observed at all signal levels, demonstrating that the effects of forward and backward maskers upon frequency discrimination are dissimilar and suggesting that cognitive effects are present in backward-masked discrimination tasks.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

A memristor oscillator based on a twin-T network

A novel inductance-free nonlinear oscillator circuit with a single bifurcation parameter is presented in this paper. This circuit is composed of a twin-T oscillator, a passive RC network, and a flux-controlled memristor. With an increase in the control parameter, the circuit exhibits complicated chaotic behaviors from double periodicity. The dynamic properties of the circuit are demonstrated by means of equilibrium stability, Lyapunov exponent spectra, and bifurcation diagrams. In order to confirm the occurrence of chaotic behavior in the circuit, an analog realization of the piecewise-linear flux-controlled memristor is proposed, and Pspice simulation is conducted on the resulting circuit.

Analysis of the mechanisms of electron recombination in HgCdTe infrared photodiode

This paper presents an experimental study of minority carrier lifetime and recombination mechanisms in HgCdTe photodiode. The excitation light source is a wavelength-tunable pulsed infrared laser. A constant background illumination has been introduced to minimize the effect of the junction equivalent capacitor and resistance. The decay of the photo-generated voltage is recorded by a storage oscilloscope. By fitting the exponentially decay curve, the time constant has been obtained which is regarded as the photo-generated minority carrier lifetime of the HgCdTe photodiode. The experimental results show that the carrier lifetime is in the range of 18–407 ns at 77 K for the measured detectors of four Cd compositions. It was found that the Auger recombination process is more effective for low Cd composition while the radiative recombination process became more important for high composition materials. The Shockley–Read–Hall recombination processes could not be ignored for all Cd composition.
