Study of energy-band structures,some thermomechanical properties and chemical bonding for a number of refractory metal carbides by the LMTO-ASA method

The energy-band structures of V, Nb, VC, NbC and WC have been calculated with the use of the linearized method of “muffin-tin” orbitals (LMTO-ASA). The calculated band structures are in good agreement with a previous self-consistent APW calculation. The prominent features of the band structures for WC are a particularly wide 5d W, 2p C band, and also the presence of a separate 5d W band below the Fermi level. The values of the lattice constants, bulk moduli, sound velocities, Debye temperatures and melting temperatures have been calculated and are in reasonable agreement with experiment. It is shown that the high values of the bulk moduli of VC and NbC are explained by the hybridization between s- and p-metal states and 2s C, 2p C states, while the extreme value of the modulus for WC is due mainly to the covalency resulting from 5d W, 2s C and 2p C hybridization.     

A NEW SILENT MUTATION FOUND IN THE CHINESE PAH LOCUS AND ITS ROLE IN THE PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS OF PHENYLKETONURIA

A silent mutation or sequence polymorphism, A to T substitution at codon 399 in exon11 of the PAH gene from a Chinese PKU patient, was found by sequence analysis. The fre-quencies of this new mutation in normal and abnormal (PKU) genes were 0.005 and 0.09,respectively, based on the analyses of 100 normal individuals and 39 PKU patients usingDNA amplification with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and oligonucleotide hybridizationmethods. This silent mutation can be used as a "genetic marker" for PKU prenatal diagno-sis. Recently, a fetus at risk for PKU, who could not be completely predicted by RFLPslinkage analysis, was prenatally diagnosed with this genetic marker.     

Transmission and filtering in photonic circuits: effects of absorption and amplification

We study the effect of absorption and amplification on transmission and filtering in one-dimensional dielectric photonic structures made of dangling side branches grafted periodically along an infinite monomode waveguide with defective branches. The loss and gain are introduced by adding an imaginary part ″ to the dielectric constant. We show that for reasonable values of ″, loss and gain affect essentially the transmission at the frequencies of localized modes associated with the defect branch introduced into the periodic structure. The amplitude and the phase of the transmission and reflection coefficients associated with defect modes are discussed as function of ″ and the size of the structure. The properties of the defect modes in presence of loss and gain can be used as an on/off switching device in a demultiplexer made of the above photonic structures.     

煤灰在不同耐火砖表面的润湿性与侵蚀性研究

通过观察煤灰柱在耐火材料表面随温度升高的形态变化和接触角的变化,来判断煤灰在耐火材料表面的润湿性;用扫描电镜(SEM)和能谱分析(EDS)等方法对煅烧煤灰过程中煤灰对耐火材料的侵蚀和渗透进行了观察测试,就渣样的形貌、耐火材料横断面的扫描图像及其元素变化进行了分析。结果表明,温度是影响煤灰在耐火材料表面润湿性和侵蚀性的重要因素;不同耐火材料的抗煤灰侵蚀不同,主要取决于耐火材料的组成和结构,其中结构致密度尤其重要;煤灰对耐火材料的侵蚀其实就是煤灰与耐火材料中各矿物元素互相侵蚀与渗透的结果,在侵蚀过程中还伴随着各种化学反应来抑制或促进侵蚀;煤灰在耐火材料表面的润湿性与煤灰对耐火材料的侵蚀性基本上表现出一致性。     

基于突变特征的边坡双强度折减系数量化研究

边坡失稳是一个由渐变演化至突变破坏的过程,过程中土体的强度参数c和φ发挥作用的路径和衰减程度不同。目前,双强度折减策略DRM在边坡稳定性评估中已逐渐形成共识,但双强度参数间的真实折减关系或折减关系的求解方法难以准确定义。以坡体抵抗外部环境能力最大值原理为依据,引入非线性分析突变理论,以坡体的极限承载力为考察量,建立其与双强度折减比的突变模型函数来考察边坡整体稳定性,进而量化折减过程中c和φ的折减比。结合算例,通过与已有方法的计算结果进行对比,验证了方法的合理性,并探究了c和φ以及坡度与折减比间的演化规律及机理。研究的执行思路可为双强度折减技术的探讨提供有益参考。

基于燃烧实验的卫燃带结渣特性分析

将两种结渣倾向对比明显的煤粉送入均匀布置有三种卫燃带耐火材料板的煤粉炉内进行燃烧,待燃烧完成后观察不同煤种在不同卫燃带耐火材料板表面的结渣特性,并对卫燃带耐火材料板横断面进行能谱分析,得出不同条件下煤灰对卫燃带耐火材料板的侵蚀程度。实验结果表明,随炉内温度的升高,卫燃带耐火材料板表面的结渣程度以及煤灰对卫燃带耐火材料板的渗透、侵蚀程度均随之增大,特别是当炉温高于煤灰熔融温度时,卫燃带耐火材料板表面结渣程度将急剧增大;锅炉实际运行中,若可保证卫燃带表面温度在锅炉最高负荷时不超过所燃煤种的煤灰熔融温度,便可有效减少卫燃带表面结渣的可能性;碳化硅质卫燃带相对于刚玉质卫燃带具有优越的抗结渣性能。     

An adaptive genetic algorithm for solving bilevel linear programming problem

Bilevel linear programming,which consists of the objective functions of the upper level and lower level,is a useful tool for modeling decentralized decision problems. Various methods are proposed for solving this problem.Of all the algorithms,the ge- netic algorithm is an alternative to conventional approaches to find the solution of the bilevel linear programming.In this paper,we describe an adaptive genetic algorithm for solving the bilevel linear programming problem to overcome the difficulty of determining the probabilities of crossover and mutation.In addition,some techniques are adopted not only to deal with the difficulty that most of the chromosomes may be infeasible in solving constrained optimization problem with genetic algorithm but also to improve the efficiency of the algorithm.The performance of this proposed algorithm is illustrated by the examples from references.     

未修饰的纳米金结合等位特异性扩增来检测K-ras基因点突变

将等位基因特异性扩增的特异性与纳米金特殊的光学性质相结合, 发展了一种新的基因点突变检测方法. 以肿瘤中常见的K-ras癌基因第12位密码子作为点突变检测对象, 采用突变型引物对待测序列进行等位特异性扩增. 突变型样品扩增产物中大部分是双链DNA; 而野生型样品由于不能被顺利扩增, 产物中大部分是单链DNA. 以纳米金颗粒作为报告基团, 向两种不同基因型扩增产物中依次加入纳米金胶和盐溶液, 野生型基因扩增产物中的单链引物被吸附到纳米金颗粒表面, 使得纳米金在适宜浓度的盐溶液中不发生聚集; 突变型样品扩增产物中的双链DNA由于与纳米金颗粒间存在静电斥力而不能被吸附到纳米金颗粒表面, 纳米金在该浓度的盐溶液中发生聚集, 导致两种基因型的混合液在吸收光谱和颜色方面均存在显著差异, 从而实现了检测基因点突变的目的. 该检测方法直观、快速、简便, 实验成本低, 能够检测到pmol量级的样品, 为点突变检测提供了一种实用的新方法.
