The previously described method involving the use of transient DSC was applied to pharmaceutical powder compacts and to ceramic
powder compacts. The samples were prepared by compressing powders of pentaerythritol tetraacetate and two kinds of alumina
powder (differing in particle size distribution) up to a pressure of 20 MPa by using a jig. For pentaerythritol tetraacetate,
a linear relationship was obtained between the parameter obtained by DSC and the compaction pressure.

The atomic arrangements in Fe-C martensite, especially the interstitial carbon positions have been discussed utilizing57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and13C and57Fe spin-echo NMR measurements. The experimental result is well explained by the model of two interstices occupancy of carbon in the bct martensite. Especially, the spin-echo spectra by13C nuclei showed that two main lines first appear and clear satellite lines gradually rise during the aging at 323K, suggesting the carbon jumps from the tetrahedral to the octahedral interstices and further movements to form a local ordered arrangement. 相似文献
The authors describe a pipette type of biosensor for detecting target genes and using a zinc finger protein fused to luciferase (ZF luciferase). The ZF protein binds to a specific DNA sequence, and the target double-stranded (ds) DNA can be detected by monitoring the enzymatic activity of ZF luciferase. A small avidin-immobilized reaction plate is placed on a plastic pipette tip (referred to as Biologi tip). The dsDNA detection procedures are carried out by using a programmable dispensing robot equipped with a photodetector. These procedures include (a) the aspiration of an analyte to capture the biotinylated target dsDNA (a product of a polymerase chain reaction) on the small reaction plate inside the pipette tip, (b) the introduction of ZF luciferase and luciferin into the pipette tip, and (c) migration of the pipette tip to the detection port to measure bioluminescence on the small reaction plate. The emission originating from luciferase activity is observed on the reaction plate containing immobilized biotin-tagged target dsDNA, whereas plates containing non-target or biotinylated single-stranded DNA only do not yield a signal. The intensity of emission increases proportionally to the concentration of dsDNA, and the detection limit of the target dsDNA is as low as 62 pM. An actual genomic DNA sample from Escherichia coli O157 was successfully detected by this automatic analyzer using the Biologi tip equipped with a reaction plate. This indicates that this system has a large potential for practical applications, including in particular point-of-care analyses in hygiene control, food safety testing, and clinical diagnosis.

Conjugate gradient methods are appealing for large scale nonlinear optimization problems. Recently, expecting the fast convergence of the methods, Dai and Liao (2001) used secant condition of quasi-Newton methods. In this paper, we make use of modified secant condition given by Zhang et al. (1999) and Zhang and Xu (2001) and propose a new conjugate gradient method following to Dai and Liao (2001). It is new features that this method takes both available gradient and function value information and achieves a high-order accuracy in approximating the second-order curvature of the objective function. The method is shown to be globally convergent under some assumptions. Numerical results are reported. 相似文献
The transition metal phosphorus trichalcogenides MnPS3 and the FePS3 are CdCl2 type layered compounds, where the transition metal ions form a hexagonal lattice. While these compounds order anti-ferromagnetically at low temperature, the magnetic structures are different. We have reported that these mixtures Mn0.5Fe0.5PS3 is a spin glass with a glass transition temperature Tg=33.7 K. Then, in this work, we report that the results of the temperature variation of the 57Fe Mössbauer spectra of FePS3 and Mn0.5Fe0.5PS3, in detail. In the anti-ferromagnetic state of FePS3, the hyperfine magnetic field Hint increases with decreasing temperature and the Isomer shift I. S. increases slightly with decreasing temperature. However in Mn0.5Fe0.5PS3, the two broadened peaks are observed and the two peaks became a single peak with decreasing temperature at about 50.0 K, which is higher than Tg=33.7 K. In the spin glass Mn0.5Fe0.5PS3, the Mössbauer spectra suggest that the magnetic interactions exist far above Tg. 相似文献
