级联分层优化的薄膜电致发光

根据发光层中电子能量分布的不均匀性,在分层优化薄膜电致发光器件的发光层中插入SiO2层,即级联分层优化薄膜电致发光器件。结果表明:由于SiO2的加速作用,这种方法确实可以提高过热电子的能量。但发光强度及发光效率的提高还受发光层的结晶状态的影响。插入一层SiO2后,样品的绿光强度提高了60%,发光效率也有所增加。插入两层SiO2后,由于发光层结晶状态变差,绿光强度及发光效率都降低了。     

Presentation of problem: Performance of jitter in discriminating between normal and dysphonic speakers

The data we deal with are acoustic feature values computed from speech signals produced by normal control speakers and speakers suffering from a laryngeal pathology. The problem is (i) to compare the discriminatory performance of a given acoustic feature with other features of the same family; (ii) to compare the performance of corresponding features in studies carried out on corpora which were not identical and which did not contain the same number of speakers; (iii) to express quantitatively the share of laryngeal pathologies which could be detected reliably by acoustic means alone. We propose to accomplish tasks (i) to (iii) by separating pooled control and risk groups on the basis of the acoustic feature values alone and by evaluating the quality of approximation of the original groups so realized. In order to evaluate this quality we compute a merit factor satisfying the following properties: (1) to be independent of the number of speakers contained in the pooled control and risk groups; (2) to increase and decrease linearly with the detection and false alarm rates, respectively; (3) to take on values between 0 (no discrimination at all) and 1 (perfect discrimination). We also address the question of the confidence one may have in the merit factor values so achieved, i.e. we describe a method of computing the probability that a merit factor value might have been realized by chance alone.     

A FACTOR(S) PRODUCED BY SERTOLI CELLS STIMULATES ANDROGEN BIOSYNTHESIS BY LEYDIG CELLS IN NEONATAL RATS

Using a coculture system, we have studied the local action of Sertoli cells on Leydig cell function. The results show that (ⅰ) both LH and FSH have equal potency to stimulate testosterone biosynthesis by fetal and neonatal testicular cells in an age-dependent manner, the maximum stimulation is observed between D_3 and D_5. (ⅱ) An FSH-dependent factor(s) secreted by Sertoli cells increases the basal and/or LH-stimulated Leydig cell androgen production. (ⅲ) The Sertoli cell-stimulating factor(s) is not a steroid or other small molecule, but a heat-labile peptide.     

Inference for earthquake models: A self-correcting model

Questions of asymptotic inference are discussed for a point process model in which the conditional intensity function increases monotonically between events and drops by determined (nonrandom) amounts after each event. Parameter estimates are shown to be consistent and, except under the null hypothesis of a Poisson process, normally distributed. Under the null hypothesis, however, the Hessian matrix is not asymptotically constant, and the limiting distribution of the likelihood ratio statistics is not χ², but has a form related to that of the Cramer-von Mises ω² statistic for the test of goodness of fit.     

4He and soft-core radial function

The suitability of a soft-core radial wave function in⁴He calculations is tested by computing the charge form factor of the alpha particle. The free parameter in the radial function is fixed in a photo-disintegration calculation. The results show that the soft-core function is suitable and the ground state of⁴He may be described reasonably well if a suitable potential model is used with it.     

Prepeak in the structural factor. Inhomogeneous packings of Lennard-Jones atoms

This work reports on the effects of structural inhomogeneities within the models of spherical atomic packings on the radial distribution function (RDF) and the structural factor (SF). Models of inhomogeneous packings were constructed by removing some atoms from homogeneous packing according to a predetermined template. Thus various additional voids, leading to specific structural correlations of atoms on a middle scale (several atomic sizes), are introduced in the model. A dense noncrystalline packing of 27,000 Lennard-Jones atoms serves as the initial system. Three various templates were used, and models containing different fractions of additional voids were constructed with each of these templates. It is demonstrated that RDF is only slightly sensitive to such inhomogeneities; in contrast, the SF has additional peaks at small q, these peaks being notable even after removal of a small fraction of atoms. Some models yield a single narrow prepeak, which is akin to that observed in diffraction experiment for some glasses.     

Uniform estimate for maximum of randomly weighted sums with applications to insurance risk theory

This paper obtains the uniform estimate for maximum of sums of independent and heavy-tailed random variables with nonnegative random weights,which can be arbi- trarily dependent of each other.Then the applications to ruin probabilities in a discrete time risk model with dependent stochastic returns are considered.     

Free group factors and factors with some decompositions

In this paper, we show that if type von Neumann factors have some decompositions introduced by Liming Ge and Sorin Popa, then these von Neumann factors are not isomorphic to free group factors . Thus we have proved the number defined by Ge and Popa bigger than 3 for all free group factors and we also extend some results of M. Stefan.

     

Effect of gaunt factor correction in soft x-ray plasma diagnostics

The effect of Gaunt factor correction on temperature estimation over a range 100 to 1500 eV had been studied. Greene’s analytical expression for the quantum mechanical Gaunt factor averaged over Maxwellian distribution is used. Transmission ratios are calculated with and without Gaunt factor for various combinations of beryllium foils, taking into account x-ray emission due to free-free transitions. A significant difference (≳ 15%) is observed between the temperatures estimated from classical and quantum mechanical curves, above 600 eV. Selection of foil combinations useful for estimating higher temperatures is also discussed.     

Theory of radiation from relativistic positrons moving in the 〈110〉 axial channels of f.c.c. (diamond) crystal

The emission of radiation from relativistic positrons moving in the 〈110〉 axial channels of an f.c.c. (diamond) crystal has been studied. An expression for the radiation intensity has been obtained for the general case of positron motion. This expression has been simplified for the particular case of well-collimated incident beam. Enhancement of the radiation over (ordinary) bremsstrahlung has been discussed.
