Model prediction of batch emulsion copolymerization as a function of conversion: A sensitivity analysis

Recently a model has been developed capable of predicting absolute monomer concentrations and their ratios in the polymer, aqueous, and monomer droplet phases as a function of conversion in batch emulsion copolymerizations without using any adjustable parameters. In this article the sensitivity of model predictions of composition drift toward deviations of 10% in all model parameters (maximum swellabilities of monomer in the polymer phase, water solubilities, reactivity ratios, and monomer and polymer densities) was estimated using the monomer combination methyl methacrylate-styrene as an example. From the sensitivity analysis it can be concluded that the reactivity ratios are the most important parameters affecting composition drift. The effects of deviations in maximum swellabilities and monomer and polymer densities on composition drift can be neglected, while the water solubility is important only in those cases where the amount of monomer in the aqueous phase cannot be neglected as compared with the total monomer amount. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Glucose utilization by lysine-producing fluoroacetate-sensitive mutants ofCorynebacterium glutamicum

A fluoroacetate-sensitive mutant was isolated fromCorynebacterium glutamicum, ATCC 21513, following mutagenesis with NTG. Batch fermentations show that in terms of growth kinetics, glucose utilization, and lysine formation, there are significant differences between the mutant and the parent. The mutant’s specific growth rate (0.22/h) is lower than that for the parent (0.34/h). Also, the yield expressed as lysine/glucose consumed does not alter as a function of the glucose concentration for the mutant, and is about 0.22, whereas for the parent, this coefficient decreases with increasing glucose concentration. The maximum specific rate of lysine production for the mutant is 1.3 g/L/h that is about two-fold higher than that for the parent.

大非球面镜的郎奇检验灵敏度理论研究及仿真分析

为了研究等间距直线条光栅的周期及其他相关参数的变化对大非球面镜朗奇检验法的影响,提出了一种评估郎奇检验灵敏度大小的新方法。其检验灵敏度定义为一个光栅周期所能检测到的镜面偏差大小能力。在朗奇检验的几何原理基础上,利用光线追迹法讨论了镜面偏差与朗奇光栅周期之间的关系,并以此推导出检验灵敏度公式,计算了抛物面镜的朗奇检测灵敏度。分析结果表明,如果给定镜子的规格参数及检验光路,朗奇检验灵敏度分别随着光栅周期间隔和半通光口径的变大而减小。     

Fluorescence studies and semiempirical calculations on alkali ion indicators

Two newly synthesized cryptands act as sensitive Na⁺- and K⁺-selective indicators for cation concentrations above 20 M. The fluorescence properties change markedly upon cation binding. In addition, the free ligands exhibit a pronounced sensitivity to pH, which is considerably lower for the cation complexes. Time resolved fluorescence is characterized by a decay time of about 5 ns that is attributed to the diprotonated protolytic state of the uncomplexed ligands. Semiempirical calculations show the systematic influence of the nitrogen lone pairs or the N–H bond on the stability of the system. The cause of the strong fluorescence intensity increase observed upon protonation of the fluorescent cryptands may be attributed to an increase in the S₁–T _x energy gap as a consequence of bridgehead nitrogen protonation.This is a peer-reviewed conference proceeding article from the Third Conference on Methods and Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Prague, Czech Republic, October 18–21, 1993.

Sensitivity improvement of aluminum-based far-ultraviolet nearly guided-wave surface plasmon resonance sensor

An aluminum (Al) based nearly guided-wave surface plasmon resonance (NGWSPR) sensor is investigated in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) region. By simultaneously optimizing the thickness of Al and dielectric films, the sensitivity of the optimized Al-based FUV-NGWSPR sensor increases from 183°/RIU to 309°/RIU, and its figure of merit rises from 26.47 RIU^-1 to 32.59 RIU^-1 when the refractive index of dielectric increases from 2 to 5. Compared with a traditional FUV-SPR sensor without dielectric, the optimized FUV-NGWSPR sensor can realize simultaneous improvement of sensitivity and figure of merit. In addition, the FUV-NGWSPR sensor with realistic materials (diamond, Ta₂O₅, and GaN) is also investigated, and 137.84%, 52.70%, and 41.89% sensitivity improvements are achieved respectively. This work proposes a method for performance improvement of FUV-SPR sensors by exciting nearly guided-wave, and could be helpful for the high-performance SPR sensor in the short-wavelength region.     

Tunable and highly sensitive temperature sensor based on graphene photonic crystal fiber

Optical fiber temperature sensors have been widely employed in enormous areas ranging from electric power industry, medical treatment, ocean dynamics to aerospace. Recently, graphene optical fiber temperature sensors attract tremendous attention for their merits of simple structure and direct power detecting ability. However, these sensors based on transfer techniques still have limitations in the relatively low sensitivity or distortion of the transmission characteristics, due to the unsuitable Fermi level of graphene and the destruction of fiber structure, respectively. Here, we propose a tunable and highly sensitive temperature sensor based on graphene photonic crystal fiber (Gr-PCF) with the non-destructive integration of graphene into the holes of PCF. This hybrid structure promises the intact fiber structure and transmission mode, which efficiently enhances the temperature detection ability of graphene. From our simulation, we find that the temperature sensitivity can be electrically tuned over four orders of magnitude and achieve up to ～ 3.34×10^-3 dB/(cm·℃) when the graphene Fermi level is ～ 35 meV higher than half the incident photon energy. Additionally, this sensitivity can be further improved by ～ 10 times through optimizing the PCF structure (such as the fiber hole diameter) to enhance the light-matter interaction. Our results provide a new way for the design of the highly sensitive temperature sensors and broaden applications in all-fiber optoelectronic devices.

Magneto-optical visualization of three spatial components of inhomogeneous stray fields

The article deals with the physical principles of magneto-optical visualization (MO) of three spatial components of inhomogeneous stray fields with the help of FeCo metal indicator films in the longitudinal Kerr effect geometry. The inhomogeneous field is created by permanent magnets. Both p- and s-polarization light is used for obtaining MO images with their subsequent summing, subtracting and digitizing. As a result, the MO images and corresponding intensity coordinate dependences reflecting the distributions of the horizontal and vertical magnetization components in pure form have been obtained. Modeling of both the magnetization distribution in the indicator film and the corresponding MO images shows that corresponding to polar sensitivity the intensity is proportional to the normal field component, which permits normal field component mapping. Corresponding to longitudinal sensitivity, the intensity of the MO images reflects the angular distribution of the planar field component. MO images have singular points in which the planar component is zero and their movement under an externally homogeneous planar field permits obtaining of additional information on the two planar components of the field under study. The intensity distribution character in the vicinity of sources and sinks (singular points) remains the same under different orientations of the light incidence plane. The change of incident plane orientation by π/2 alters the distribution pattern in the vicinity of the saddle points.
