Study of the characteristics of a scintillation array and single pixels for nuclear medicine imaging applications

By using a pixelized Nal(T1) crystal array coupled to a R2486 PSPMT, the characteristics of the array and of a single pixel, such as the light output, energy resolution, peak-to-valley ratio (P/V) and imaging performance of the detector were studied. The pixel size of the NaI(TI) scintillation pixel array is 2 min×2 mm×5 mm. There are in total 484 pixels in a 22～22 matrix. In the pixel spectrum an average peak-to-valley ratio (P/V) of 16 was obtained. In the image of all the pixels, good values for the Peak-to-Valley ratios could be achieved, namely a mean of 17, a maximum of 45 and the average peak FWHM (the average value of intrinsic spatial resolution) of 2.3 mm. However, the PSPMT non-uniform response and the scintillation pixels array inhomogeneities degrade the imaging performance of the detector.

Sound scattering from partially water-filled elastic spherical shell with an internal elastic plate

According to the equation of motion in the elastic medium and integral equation of target scattering, the sound scattering from the partially water-filled elastic spherical shells with and without an inner plate is studied using the finite element and boundary element method, and the scattering normalized form functions of the shell filled with different volume of water are computed and the mechanism of resonance scattering is analyzed. The results show that the resonance of the shell with partially water-filled and without the plate is mainly related to the volume of water, and the resonance is produced by inner water and the spherical shell. The resonance characteristics of partially water-filled elastic shell with the plate are similar to that of empty structured elastic spherical shell, and the sound field in inner water is weaker which indicates the main resonance characteristics are decided by spherical shell and the plate. In addition, the scattering characteristics of spherical shell with plate and one side full water-filled are greatly different from the partially water-filled ones.

Spencer <Emphasis Type="Italic">δ</Emphasis>-cohomology,Restrictions, Characteristics and Involutive Symbolic PDEs

We generalize the notion of involutivity to systems of differential equations of different orders and show that the classical results relating involutivity, restrictions, characteristics and characteristicity, known for first order systems, extend to the general context. This involves, in particular, a new definition of strong characteristicity. The proof exploits a spectral sequence relating Spencer δ-cohomology of a symbolic system and its restriction to a non-characteristic subspace.

Characterization of siloxane films on titanium substrate derived from three aminosilanes

The aim of this investigation was to study the siloxane, ? Si? O? Si? , film formation on Ti substrate by using mono‐, bis‐ and tris‐aminosilanes. The ultimate goal was to obtain a smooth, well‐organized and stable siloxane film with suitable surface energy. Such films are expected to perform well in adhering resins to dental metal alloys when the films contain reactive functional groups. Aminosilanes were prepared as 0.5 vol.% solutions in dilute ethanol (50 vol.% ethanol in deionized water), with their natural pH of ～ 9. The substrates were silanized in two ways: silane was allowed to react at room temperature or was cured for 1 h at 110°C. The surface characterization was carried out by reflectance–absorbance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (RA‐FTIR), x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle measurement and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Siloxane film thickness measurements were not made. According to spectral analysis, all silanes indicated covalent bond formation with titanium. ?Si? O? Ti? and ?Si? O? Si? bonds were clearly seen in the spectra, suggesting that chemical retention had taken place. After curing at elevated temperature, the spectral bands seemed to be stronger than those on samples cured at room temperature. Curing of hydrolyzed silanes at elevated temperature seemed to enhance the siloxane layer formation, derived from aminosilanes, on the Ti substrate. This might have an influence on the hydrolytic stability of organosilane‐promoted adhesion between Ti and dental resins. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nd2O3添加量对BaTiO3陶瓷介电性能的影响

BaTiO₃ ceramics doped with Nd₂O₃(the additive content was respectively 0.001,0.002,0.003,0.005,0.01,0.03mol)were prepared by Sol-Gel method. Effects of Nd₂O₃ contents on the dielectric constant (ε), the dielectric loss (tanδ) ,the Curie-temperature (T_C) and the resistivity (ρ) of BaTiO₃ ceramic were studied. When Nd₂O₃ content was 0.001mol and 0.002mol, the dielectric constant was increased obviously, but the dielectric loss was also increased. When Nd₂O₃ content was 0.003mol, the dielectric constant was increased, and the dielectric loss was decreased, which was suitable for application in condenser. The resistivity was decreased obviously with the increasing of Nd₂O₃ contents, the resistivity was the smallest when Nd₂O₃ content was 0.001mol. The Curie-temperature was also decreased with the increasing of Nd₂O₃ contents.     

Thermodynamic characteristics of sorption of heterocyclic compounds m capillary gas chromatography

Dependences of sorption energies of sulfur-, oxygen-, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds on the nature of heteroatoms, structure of substituents and their position in the ring were studied. The contributions of heteroatoms, functional and alkyl groups to the energy of dispersive interaction of position isomers with nonpolar stationary phases were determined for imidazoles, piperidines, morpholines, thiomorpholines, dioxalanes, oxathiolanes, dithiolanes, thiophenes, and furans. The nonequivalence of contributions of the same substituents to the sorption energy of each of the heterocyclic compounds, depending on the nature of the heteroatom and position of the substituent, was shown. The obtained values of contributions of heteroatoms and substituents can be used for apriori calculation of retention indices of position isomers of five- and six-membered heterocycles containing one or two heteroatoms in the ring.Translated from lzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Estimation of polarity and fluidity of colloidal interfaces and biosurfaces using rhamnolipid B pyrenacylester as surface-active fluorescent probe

Fluorescent probes are useful to monitor the polarity and fluidity of microenvironments. Therefore, a new amphiphilic fluorescent probe, the pyrenacylester of Rhamnolipid B, was prepared from biosurfactant (Rhamnolipid B) and pyrene. As a result of its surface activity, this probe was expected to be able to penetrate into various kinds of microdomains such as the environments of organic solvents, emulsions, dispersions, surfaces of biomembranes and polymers.
