中国区临近空间太阳辐射环境研究

临近空间(20~50km)航空活动是全世界航空大国竞相研究的热点。太阳辐射环境研究是开展该高度层航空活动的必要前提,然而临近空间辐射观测资料空白对其开发利用造成了障碍。臭氧是影响高空辐射环境的关键因子,基于欧洲中尺度预报中心再分析资料对中国区临近空间臭氧的空间分布、季节变化特征进行了分析,发现其时空分布及演变具备区域性特点,同时根据平流层大气数据及地表特征等将中国临近空间划分为5个区域,确定不同区域关键参数值,利用SBDART辐射传输模型对临近空间全波段太阳辐射及紫外辐射分别进行模拟。模拟结果显示受纬度、臭氧总量、垂直分布等影响,辐射值变化规律较为复杂。全波段太阳辐射年均和逐月值随纬度降低而增大,年较差则相反;大气的吸收作用与纬度、海陆差异有关,表现出不同的强度和季节变化特征;在紫外波段,南海上空辐射最强,年较差小,月较差很小且夏强冬弱,其他区域辐射值夏强冬弱,月较差呈双峰特征,春秋强,冬夏弱;大气的吸收作用受多因子影响,除南海外,各区域夏季辐射垂向差异更大;大气吸收引起的月较差垂向变化均表现为6、7月高低空月振幅一致,其它月份辐射值在高层月较差更大。     

近红外光谱技术快速鉴别地沟油与食用植物油的研究

地沟油检测是我国食品安全最为关注的话题之一,它给人们的生活健康带来了极大的危害。国内现有的检测手段也仅停留在定性检测水平上,只能确定地沟油的有无,还难以进行定量检测。本实验利用近红外光谱技术与光纤传感技术相结合的新方法对勾兑混合油中地沟油的含量进行了定量分析。将煎炸老油与九三大豆油按照一定的体积比进行勾兑,共计50个样本,采集其近红外透射光谱,分别采用偏最小二乘法(PLS)和BP人工神经网络建立了煎炸老油含量的定量分析模型,校正集决定系数分别为0.908和0.934,验证集决定系数分别为0.961和0.952,均方估计残差(RMSEC)为0.184和0.136,预测均方根误差(RMSEP)都为0.111 6,符合应用要求,同时还结合主成分分析法(PCA)对煎炸老油与食用植物油进行了鉴别,识别准确率为100%。实验研究证明近红外光谱技术不仅可以准确快速的定性分析地沟油, 还能定量的检测地沟油的含量,在油脂的检测方面具有很大的应用前景。     

Temperature dependence of the absorption spectrum of CH4 by high resolution spectroscopy at 81 K: (I) The region of the 2ν3 band at 1.66 μm

In a recent contribution, (Gao B, Kassi S, Campargue A. Empirical low energy values for methane transitions in the 5852-6181 cm⁻¹ region by absorption spectroscopy at 81 K. J Mol Spectrosc 2009;253:55-63.), the low energy values of methane transitions between 1.71 and 1.62 μm were derived from the variation of the line intensities between 296 and 81 K. The line intensities at 81 K were retrieved from the high resolution absorption spectrum of methane recorded at liquid nitrogen temperature by direct absorption spectroscopy using a cryogenic cell and a series of distributed feed back (DFB) diode lasers. For the line intensities at 296 K, the values provided by the HITRAN database were used. As a consequence of the relatively high intensity cut off (4×10⁻²⁴ cm/molecule) of the HITRAN line list in the considered region, the lower energy values were derived for only 845 of the 2187 transitions measured at 81 K. In the present work, our line list was extended by the retrieval of many weak line intensities leading to a set of 3251 transitions. The minimum value of the measured line intensities (at 81 K) is on the order of 10⁻²⁶ cm/molecule. In relation with the project “Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite” (GOSAT), a much more complete line list for CH₄ at 296 K has become available (intensity cut off of 4×10⁻²⁶ cm/molecule). By applying the two temperature method to our line intensities at 81 K and GOSAT intensities at 296 K, the lower energy values of 2297 transitions could be derived. These transitions represent 99.1% and 90.8% of the total absorbance in the region, at 81 and 296 K respectively. This line list provided as Supplementary Material allows then accounting for the temperature dependence of CH₄ absorption below 300 K. The investigated spectral range is dominated by the 2ν₃ band near 6005 cm⁻¹ which is of particular interest for atmospheric retrievals. The factor 2 narrowing of the Doppler linewidth from room temperature down to 81 K has allowed the resolution of a number of 2ν₃ multiplets and improving the line intensity retrievals. A detailed comparison with GOSAT and HITRAN line lists has revealed a number of possible improvements.     

Active electric near field imaging of electronic devices

An active two dimensional near field imaging of a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) used as THz detector has been performed. The reflective imaging system developed at the ENEA FEL Facility in Frascati has been used to this purpose. This imaging technique has shown to be particularly powerful in resolving various coupling mechanisms of the incident radiation with the device.     

Design, synthesis, and characterization of a calcium-sensitive near infrared dye

Intracellular calcium concentration in biological cells varies from 0.1 to 10 μM depending upon cell signaling and disease states. A direct estimate of calcium concentration in cell tissues within this range is possible with a novel calcium-selective reagent 15C5-774. The molecule of 15C5-774 consists of a near-infrared (NIR) chromophore (λ_max=774 nm) and a metal complexing moiety of benzo-15-crown-5. The reagent shows a strong calcium binding affinity in a 1:1 ratio and metal selectivity in the order Ca²⁺>Mg²⁺>Sr²⁺≈K⁺≈Na⁺>Zn²⁺>Li⁺. The high sensitivity is achieved by conducting absorption measurements in the NIR region where background interference from the biological matrix is low.     

Comparison of CEPA and CP-MET methods

The known CEPA variants CEPA (v) withv = 0,1,2,3 and two new ones withv = 4, 5 are compared both formally and for various numerical examples with CP-MET. The main conclusions are: 1. In those situations where both CP-MET and the CEPA variants are justified (i.e. for “good” closed shell states) the correlation energies obtained with the 7 different schemes differ very little (by something like ±2%), with CEPA (1) closest to CP-MET (difference usually a fraction of 1%) and CEPA (4) nearly as close; this is rather insensitive to whether one uses canonical or localized orbitals. Even CEPA (3) is not too far from CP-MET, which confirms an earlier suggestion of Kelly. 2. In those cases where one of the 7 schemes fails (e.g. due to near degeneracy as in covalent molecules at large internuclear distances) the other 6 usually fail as well, though CEPA (0) is then somewhat poorer than the other schemes. Then no longer CEPA (1) but rather CEPA (3) is closest to CP-MET and then all schemes converge much better in a localized representation. 3. CEPA (2) usually leads to best agreement with experiment since it simulates to some extent triple substitutions. In none of the studied examples does CP-MET show a significant superiority as compared to the other schemes. Possible improvements to extend the domain of applicability of these methods are discussed.     

Orientational anisotropic studies by field rotation technique: near zero-field pulsed EPR experiments of pentacene doped in p-terphenyl

We report a new technique to map the orientational anisotropy of paramagnetic systems without physically changing the crystal orientations in near zero-field (NZF) pulsed EPR experiments. By implementing three sets of orthogonal coils around the sample, we are ble to create a magnetic vector up to 2 mT in any three-dimensional orientation in space. In NZF region, the hyperfine tensor elements are comparable to the electronic Zeeman interaction energy, thus very rich spectral patterns can be obtained by "dialing" in a magnetic field vector without moving the sample. The technique further allows us to examine the site symmetry of organic crystals and powdered solids doped with chromophores which can be photo-excited to the triplet state by laser light. The technique is exemplified in the study of pentacene in p-terphenyl crystals.

Spectral Semi-discretisations of Weakly Non-linear Wave Equations over Long Times

The long-time behaviour of spectral semi-discretisations of weakly non-linear wave equations is analysed. It is shown that the harmonic actions are approximately conserved for the semi-discretised system as well. This permits to prove that the energy of the wave equation along the interpolated semi-discrete solution remains well conserved over long times and close to the Hamiltonian of the semi-discrete equation. Although the momentum is no longer an exact invariant of the semi-discretisation, it is shown to be approximately conserved. All these results are obtained with the technique of modulated Fourier expansions. Dedicated to Professor Arieh Iserles on the Occasion of his Sixtieth Birthday.
