Linearity improvement in biquadratic transconductor-C filters

A new technique for improving the linearity performance in biquadratic transconductor-C filters is presented. This improvement has been achieved by applying some modifications to the filter topology which considerably relax the linearity requirement on transconductor circuits. Using very simple transconductors, 30 dB improvement in total harmonic distortion compared to the conventional approach has been observed.     

吹气孔直径对RH精炼过程钢液流动和混合特性的影响

针对90t RH精炼装置,以水力学模拟研究了吹气孔直径对真空循环精炼过程中钢液流动和混合特性的影响.模型和原型的相似比为15.模型吹气孔直径分别为0.8 mm和1.2 mm.结果表明,1.2 mm孔径下环流量和主要工艺参数间的关系为Ql Q80.26Du0.69Dd0.80;在给定的吹气量和插入管内径下,增大吹气孔直径并不显著改变精炼过程中钢液流动特征,环流量随吹气孔直径的增大而略有增大,其关系式为Ql=2.40Q 0.23gD0.72u D0.88d d0.13in;相应地,混合时间稍有缩短;0.8和1.2 mm孔径下,τm与搅拌能密度的关系分别为τm ε5和τm ε0.49.

Magnetization and Specific Heat of UCo0.95T0.05Al (T = Fe, Ni) Single Crystals

We present the first single-crystal study of Fe and Ni doped U(Co_1-x T _x )Al compounds in comparison to the parent compound, the itinerant 5f-electron metamagnet UCoAl. Magnetization and specific-heat data measured in the temperature range of (1.8-300) K and in fields up to 10 T are analyzed and discussed. Both compounds exhibit a strong uniaxial anisotropy with the dominating magnetic response along the c-axis of the hexagonal ZrNiAl-type structure. Ni substitution yields an increase of the critical field for metamagnetism; UCo_0.95Fe_0.05Al is ferromagnetic below 30 K. Temperature evolution of the entropy change between 0 and 10 T points to involvement of magnetic correlations or spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic compounds UCoAl and UCo_0.95Ni_0.05Al.     

Determination of the orientation of the electric field gradient at the Cu(1) site from the Mössbauer spectra of textured pellets made of YBa2Cu3O7−δ superconductor

A textured pellet of YBa₂Cu₃O_7?δ was prepared and doped with⁵⁷Co. After subsequent heat treatments the cobalt was found at the two copper sites. The degree of alignment of individual crystallites (about 40%) was determined from the Mössbauer spectrum by using a method developed by the authors [1]. The same method showed that the most characteristic doublet component of such spectra (δ=0.08 mm/s; |ΔE _Q|=1.96 mm/s) is associated with a site, most probably a Cu(1) site, where the EFG is parallel to thec direction of the unit cell. The sign ofV _zz turned out to be negative, giving a negative quadrupole splitting (ΔE _Q=?1.96 mm/s) for that component.     

Spectroscopic investigation of 4f correlations in CeAg; comparison between LDA and many-body descriptions

High resolution photoemission and bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy experiments have been carried out on CeAg and LaAg. From a comparison between these two compounds, we extract the cerium 4f spectral function, we compare it with band structure calculations and with many-body model simulations based on the single-impurity Anderson Hamiltonian. We show that the localized 4f charge estimated from previous band structure calculations cannot be identified with the 4f occupation number deduced from the Anderson model.     

Regular simple geodesic loops on a tetrahedron

A regular simple geodesic loop on a tetrahedron is a simple geodesic loop which does not pass through any vertex of the tetrahedron. It is evident that such loops meet each face of the tetrahedron. Among these loops, the minimal loops are those which meet each face exactly once. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of minimal loops are obtained. These conditions fall naturally into two categories, conditions in the first category being called coherence conditions and conditions in the second category being called separation conditions. It is shown that for the existence of three distinct minimal loops through any point on the face of a tetrahedron it is necessary and sufficient that the tetrahedron be isosceles, which, in turn, amounts to the tetrahedron satisfying three coherence conditions. All other regular simple geodesic loops on an isosceles tetrahedron are then classified. Finally, coherence conditions for the existence of similar loops on an arbitrary tetrahedron are found.     

Comparison of the effect of a proteolytic enzyme dispase and a chelator for the preparation of epidermal sheet from nude mice.

Histochemical studies of epidermal Langerhans cells require well-preserved epidermal sheets. We studied the conditions for the preparation of the epidermal sheets from the skin of the ear, hind limb and trunk of nude mice. Two types of commercial dispase, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), were used at several concentrations and the effects were compared. Dermo-epidermal separation was evaluated by the preservation of ATPase activity of Langerhans cells in the epidermal sheet and by the ultrastructure of epidermal cells (Langerhans cells and keratinocytes) as well as epidermal-dermal junction. Good separation depended on the combination of the concentration of the reagent and site of the skin. The concentrations of both dispase and EDTA effective for separation of the epidermis in the nude mouse were lower than those in other mouse strains reported.
