On Dirichlet Problem for a Class of Delayed Reaction–Diffusion Equations with Spatial Non-locality

We consider a very general class of delayed reaction–diffusion equations in which the reaction term can be non-monotone as well as spatially non-local. By employing comparison technique and a dynamical system approach, we study the global asymptotic behavior of solutions to the equation subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet condition. Established are threshold results and global attractiveness of the trivial steady state, as well as the existence, uniqueness and global attractiveness of a positive steady state solution to the problem. As illustrations, we apply our main results to the local delayed diffusive Mackey–Glass equation and the nonlocal delayed diffusive Nicholson blowfly equation, leading to some very sharp results for these two particular models.     

一种新型酶生物燃料电池阳极构建及性能研究

通过酸化碳纳米管(CNTs)和β-环糊精(β-CD)之间的范德华力作用, 实现CNTs的β-CD功能化. β-CD具有内腔疏水、外壁亲水的环状结构, 其内腔容易与二茂铁(Fc)形成稳定的主客体包合结构, 实现Fc在碳纳米管上的高效固载; 再将CNTs-β-CD-Fc复合物与葡萄糖氧化酶(GOD)混合, 采用戊二醛实现酶分子间的交联, 形成GOD/CNTs-β-CD-Fc复合物, 然后将其涂覆到玻碳电极(GC)上, 得到一种新型的酶生物燃料电池阳极(GOD/CNTs-β-CD-Fc/GC). 采用同步热分析法、傅里叶变换红外光谱和透射电子显微镜对所制备的CNTs-β-CD-Fc复合物进行了表征, 采用循环伏安法研究了GOD/CNTs-β-CD-Fc/GC电极对葡萄糖氧化的催化性能. 结果表明: 在同等实验条件下, 没有固载Fc的GOD/CNTs- β-CD/GC电极基本无催化电流, 而GOD/CNTs-β-CD-Fc/GC电极表现出比GOD/CNTs-Fc/GC电极更为优越的电催化性能. 进一步以GOD/CNTs-β-CD-Fc/GC电极或GOD/CNTs-Fc/GC电极为酶阳极, 商用催化剂E-TEK Pt/C电极(E-TEK Pt/C/GC)为阴极, 构建葡萄糖/氧气生物燃料电池(EBFC), 结果表明前者的最大功率密度(33 μW·cm^-2, 0.18 V)几乎是后者的三倍(11.7 μW·cm^-2, 0.16 V). 通过记录开路电位随时间的变化研究了EBFC的稳定性, 以GOD/CNTs-β-CD-Fc/GC电极为阳极的EBFC在连续工作9 h后仍保留了92%的开路电位, 表明该电池具有良好的连续工作稳定性. 我们提出的这种新型生物燃料电池阳极的构造方法, 为构建高性能、高稳定性的葡萄糖/氧气EBFC提供了新的思路.     

Direct Synthesis of High Purity Silicon Wires by Electrorefining in Molten KF-NaF Eutectic

The electrochemical synthesis silicon wires by electrorefining metallurgical grade silicon in thermally dried and pre-electrolyzed molten KF-NaF eutectic were studied at temperatures 800-900 oC using cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance. One oxidation peak at -0.14 V could be attributed to the reaction of Si to Si⁴⁺. A cathodic peak occurred at -0.56 V in the cyclic voltammogram and one response semicircle in the ac impedance spectrum was observed, supporting a one-step electrochemical reduction process of Si⁴⁺→Si. The electrochemical reaction of silicon was controlled by the diffusion process. The purity of electrorefined silicon wires was up to 99.999% by ICP-MS analysis.     

Formation and Characteristics of Acrylonitrile/Urea Inclusion Compound

The formation process and composition of the acrylonitrile/urea inclusion compounds (AN/UIC) with different aging times and AN/urea molar feed ratios are studied by differen-tial scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It is suggested that DSC candetermine the guest/host ratio and the heat of decomposition. Meanwhile, the guest/host ratio and heat of decomposition are obtained, which are 1.17 and 5361.53 J/mol, respec-tively. It is suggested AN molecules included in urea canal lattice may be packed flat against each other. It is found that the formation of AN/UIC depends on the aging time. XRD results reveal that once AN molecules enter urea lattice, AN/UIC are formed, which possess the final structure. When AN molecules are sufficient, the length of AN molecular arrays in urea canals increases as aging time prolonging until urea tunnels are saturated by AN.

Bias dependence of a deep submicron NMOSFET response to total dose irradiation

Deep submicron n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (NMOSFETs) with shallow trench isolation (STI) are exposed to ionizing dose radiation under different bias conditions.The total ionizing dose radiation induced subthreshold leakage current increase and the hump effect under four different irradiation bias conditions including the worst case (ON bias) for the transistors are discussed.The high electric fields at the corners are partly responsible for the subthreshold hump effect.Charge trapped in the isolation oxide,particularly at the Si/SiO 2 interface along the sidewalls of the trench oxide creates a leakage path,which becomes a dominant contributor to the offstate drain-to-source leakage current in the NMOSFET.Non-uniform charge distribution is introduced into a threedimensional (3D) simulation.Good agreement between experimental and simulation results is demonstrated.We find that the electric field distribution along with the STI sidewall is important for the radiation effect under different bias conditions.     

Influence of cesium on the stability of a GaAs photocathode

The stability of a reflection-mode GaAs photocathode has been investigated by monitoring the photocurrent and the spectral response at room temperature.We observe the photocurrent of the cathode decaying with time in the vacuum system under the action of Cs current,and find that the Cs atoms residing in the vacuum system are helpful in prolonging the life of the cathode.We examine the evolution and analyse the influence of the barrier on the spectral response of the cathode.Our results support the double dipolar model for the explanation of the negative electron affinity effect.     

Propagation of high-power partially coherent fibre laser beams in a real environment

The propagation performance of high-power partially coherent fibre laser beams in a real environment is investigated and the theoretical model of a high-power fibre laser propagating in a real environment is established. The influence of a collimating system and thermal blooming is considered together with atmospheric turbulence and mechanical jitter. The laser energy concentration of partially coherent beams in the far field is calculated and analysed based on the theoretical model. It is shown that the propagation performance of partially coherent beams depends on the collimating system, atmospheric turbulence, mechanical jitter and thermal blooming. The propagation performance of partially coherent beams and fully coherent beams is studied and the results show that partially coherent beams are less sensitive to the influence of thermal blooming, which results in that the energy degeneration for partially coherent beams is only 50% of that for fully coherent beams. Both partially coherent beams and fully coherent beams become less sensitive to thermal blooming when the average structural constant of the refraction index fluctuations increases to 1.7 × 10^-14 m^-2/3. The investigation presents a reference for applications of a high-power fibre laser system.     

Load optimal design for a primary test stand facility based on a zero-dimensional load model

In order to couple the numerical simulation of a primary test stand driver with an optimal load design, a zero-dimensional wire array load model is designed based on the Saturn load model using PSPICE, which is an upgraded version of the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) designed by the ORCAD Corporation to perform circuit simulations. This paper calculates different load parameters and discusses factors influencing the driving current curve. With appropriate driving current curves chosen, further magneto-hydrodynamic calculations are carried out and discussed to provide the best results for experiments. The suggested optimal load parameters play an important role in experimental load design.
