Conceptual design of Hefei advanced light source

The conceptual of Hefei Advanced Light Source, which is an advanced VUV and Soft X-ray source, was developed at NSRL of USTC. According to the synchrotron radiation user requirements and the trends of SR source development, some accelerator-based schemes were considered and compared; furthermore storage ring with ultra low emittance was adopted as the baseline scheme of HALS. To achieve ultra low emittance, some focusing structures were studied and optimized in the lattice design. Compromising of emittance, on-momentum and off-momentum dynamic aperture and ring scale, five bend acromat (FBA) was employed. In the preliminary design of HALS, the emittance was reduced to sub nm·rad, thus the radiation up to water window has full lateral coherence. The brilliance of undulator radiation covering several eVs to keVs range is higher than that of HLS by several orders. The HALS should be one of the most advanced synchrotron radiation light sources in the world.     

工矿业城市区域水质参数高光谱定量反演

工矿业城市区域易受工业活动、矿产开采影响,使其水环境遭受不同程度的破坏,以至于水体污染问题突出。当前常规水质监测主要采用“以点代面”的工作方式进行野外采样及其室内化验分析,然而环境复杂多变,空间差异大,导致调查点代表性受限,整体精度不高,效率低下,更难以实现区域性动态监测。以因矿兴市的矿业重镇湖北黄石大冶市为研究区,同步开展无人机高光谱航飞、地面光谱测量和水体样品采集测试,分别获得具有49个波段的高光谱影像数据和光谱分辨率为1 nm的水体光谱曲线,其中影像数据波谱范围为505~890 nm,光谱分辨率为7.78 nm,空间分辨率为30 cm。对获取的高光谱影像和光谱数据剔除异常值、光谱定标、辐射校正等预处理后,对比分析研究区内水体的不同光谱吸收、反射及光谱曲线形态特征信息,从而提取出高光谱影像和测量光谱的反射光谱曲线形态特征、去包络线后光谱曲线形态特征、三阶求导后光谱曲线形态特征和光谱四值编码共四大类25个光谱特征。采用皮尔森相关系数分析样品水质参数与光谱特征之间的相关性,以此筛选出存在显著相关的水质参数与光谱特征。在此基础上,采用逐步回归分析方法筛选出最大反射率及其波长位置、对称度、光谱编码Ⅲ、三阶导最大及最小值等光谱特征作为模型变量,构建出水质参数的多元线性反演模型,并对模型进行F检验和t检验。将检验后的反演模型推广运用于研究区内高光谱影像,获得尾矿库、河流、湖泊等典型区域的水质参数反演结果,从而实现“由点到面”水质参数信息的快速获取。结果显示水质参数pH、硬度（Ca2++Mg2+）、钾与氯离子比值（K+/Cl-）、镁与碱度比值[Mg2+/(HCO3-+CO2-₃)]的反演精度较高,其pH的判定系数R2最小为0.669,镁与碱度比值的判定系数R2最大为0.895,相对均方根误差均小于28%;而总溶解固体（TDS）反演精度较低,其判定系数R2仅为0.463,相对均方根误差达36.762%。提出了一种基于光谱曲线形态特征的高光谱遥感水质参数定量反演模型方法,实现了pH值、硬度、镁离子与碱度之比等水质参数的高光谱定量反演,为区域水环境动态监测提供了新方法。

Wall shear stress and near-wall convective transport: Comparisons with vascular remodelling in a peripheral graft anastomosis

Fluid dynamic properties of blood flow are implicated in cardiovascular diseases. The interaction between the blood flow and the wall occurs through the direct transmission of forces, and through the dominating influence of the flow on convective transport processes. Controlled, in vitro testing in simple geometric configurations has provided much data on the cellular-level responses of the vascular walls to flow, but a complete, mechanistic explanation of the pathogenic process is lacking. In the interim, mapping the association between local haemodynamics and the vascular response is important to improve understanding of the disease process and may be of use for prognosis. Moreover, establishing the haemodynamic environment in the regions of disease provides data on flow conditions to guide investigations of cellular-level responses.     

Data for scaling-up hydrothermal waste water treatment process

Abstract

Hydrothermal oxidation of wastes is developed as an alternative technique in order to limit the toxic end-product formation, the waste volume and the energy supply. We are now working on the transfer of this technology, and so on the determination of data for scaling-up the hydrothermal oxidation process. The main data concern the knowledge of reactive pathway, the determination of reaction kinetic and thermal parameter. Kinetic and thermal data have been determined for the hydrothermal oxidation of acetic acid as well as the reactive pathway of hydrothermal oxidation of a C, H, O, N compound, the fenuron (C₆H₅-NH-CO-N(CH₃)₂).     

Multiparameter kinetic analysis of alkaline hydrolysis of a series of aryl diphenylphosphinothioates: models for P=S neurotoxins

Alkaline hydrolysis of a series of X‐substituted‐phenyl diphenylphosphinothioates ( 2a‐i ) in 80 mol%/20 mol% DMSO at 25.0 ± 0.1°C has been studied kinetically and assessed through a multiparameter approach. Substrates 2a to 2i are approximately 12 to 22 times less reactive than their P=O analogues 1a to 1i (ie, the thio effect). The Brønsted‐type plot for the reactions of 2a to 2i is linear with β_lg = ?0.43, consistent with a concerted mechanism. Hammett plots correlated with σ^o and σ^? constants also support a concerted mechanism; the Yukawa‐Tsuno plot results in an excellent linear correlation with ρ_X = 1.26 and r = 0.30, indicating that expulsion of the leaving group occurs in the rate‐determining step (RDS). The ΔH^? value increases from 10.5 to 11.7 and 13.9 kcal/mol as substituent X in the leaving group changes from 3,4‐(NO₂)₂ to 4‐NO₂ and H, in turn, while TΔS^? remains constant at ?6.0 kcal/mol. The strong dependence of ΔH^? on the electronic nature of substituent X also indicates that the leaving group departs in the RDS. The reaction mechanism and origin of the thio effect are discussed by comparison of the current kinetic results with those reported for the reactions of 1a to 1i . The results suggest that for useful OP neurotoxins the mechanism of abiotic hydrolysis is concerted (with varying degrees of asynchronicity) when the substrate bears good leaving groups.     

Effect of surface elasticity on scattering of elastic P-waves from a nanofiber including an inhomogeneous interphase

Scattering of elastic P-waves from a nanofiber in a matrix is studied analytically throughout this paper. An inhomogeneous interphase region is considered between the nanofiber and the matrix. Dividing the interphase into homogeneous sublayers, surface elasticity effects are studied in the layers adjacent to matrix and nanofiber. Wave function expansion method is used to solve the corresponding equations in all three phases including fiber, interphase, and matrix. Dynamic stress concentration factors around the nanofiber are calculated and utilizing a parametric study, effects of different parameters, such as nanoscale interface, interphase thickness, and interphase rigidity are investigated. The results indicate that considering the effects of surface elasticity in wave scattering problems from inhomogeneous interphases show a major impact on the results. The dimensionless equations presented in this paper provide the possibility of further numerical studies.     

Research on the defect structure and g factors for the tetragonal (CrO4)3− impurity center in ZrSiO4: Cr5+ crystal

ABSTRACT

The EPR g factors g// and g⊥ for the tetragonal (CrO₄)^3? impurity center in ZrSiO4: Cr⁵⁺ crystal are studied from the high-order perturbation formulas based on the two-mechanism (the crystal field and charge-transfer mechanisms) model. The studies indicate that differing from the tetragonally-elongated host (SiO4)^4- tetrahedron, the dominant defect structure of the substitutional (CrO₄)^3? tetrahedron is tetragonally- compressed with the ground state |d_z² due to the Jahn-Teller distortion. Furthermore, the agreement of g factors between calculation and experiment requires a small admixture of the first excited state |d_x²_?y² to the ground state |d_z² due to the vibrational motion of ligands, which leads a compressed (CrO₄)^3? tetrahedron to become a twinkling elongated one, These results are discussed.     

Distribution of selected monaural acoustical parameters in concert halls

Acoustical parameters calculated from impulse responses are often used to evaluate the characteristics of concert halls. Representative parameters are listed in the Annex of ISO 3382 and the methods of calculation and the minimum number of measurement positions are explained in detail. However, a method for selecting measurement positions is not discussed clearly, because there are wide variations in the characteristics of sound fields. This report provides basic data to solve this problem using spatial distribution characteristics of parameters in halls. Three large-scale measurement campaigns were conducted in which impulse responses were measured at 1427, 180, and 511 locations. Relatively large differences in the obtained parameters compared with well-known difference limens suggest that determining the distributions of parameter values is important. Contour maps are therefore used to display the distributions along with mean values.
