A study of the properties of mixed nonionic surfactants microemulsions by NMR, SAXS, viscosity and conductivity

The pseudoternary phase behavior of the water/sucrose laurate/ethoxylated mono-di-glyceride/R (+)-limonene systems was investigated for different surfactants mixing ratios (w/w) at 25 °C. The microemulsion boundaries were determined and the surfactants content at the interface of water- R (+)-limonene was estimated. For surfactants mixing ratio (w/w) equals unity, the area of the one phase microemulsion region reaches its maximum. The system with the maximum microemulsion area was investigated using electrical conductivity, dynamic viscosity, small angle X-ray scattering, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Electrical conductivity increases as the water volume fraction increases and a percolation threshold was observed. Dynamic Viscosity varies as function of the water volume fraction in a non-monotonic way giving two-peaked plot. The characteristics of the domain size of the microemulsions called periodicity measured by small angle X-ray scattering increases with the increase in the water volume fraction. The correlation length of the domain size reaches a maximum when plotted against the water volume fraction in the microemulsions. Relative diffusion coefficients of water increase and those of oil decrease with increasing the water volume fractions in the microemulsions indicating structural transitions.     

一种非本征光纤法布里-珀罗传感器的信号解调算法

给出了一种基于均方误差估计的非本征光纤法布里-珀罗(EFPI)传感器的腔长解调算法。在参量估计方面, 均方误差将估计子的方差和偏差结合在一起, 具有更高的估计精度和准确度。如果给出某一个真值的一系列估计子, 则具有最小均方误差的估计子比其他估计子更为有效。在非本征光纤法-珀传感器的腔长解调方面, 则实际腔长对应于腔长均方误差估计取最小值时的腔长估计子。对一个非本征光纤法-珀压力传感器的测试结果表明, 腔长解调分辨率为0.18 nm, 对应的压力分辨率可达2.99 kPa。与传统的解调算法相比, 通过该算法可在较宽的动态范围内获得高的解调分辨率, 并实现绝对腔长的解调。     

Low frequency in situ metrology of absorption and dispersion of sound absorbing porous materials based on high power ultrasonic non-linearly demodulated waves

The present work is related to acoustic in situ free-field measurements of sound absorption in porous materials, such as cellular plastic foams, glass-wool or recycled felt materials. The emphasis is given towards fine metrology of absorption in view of potential industrial applications. A powerful ultrasonic array working at 40 kHz is used. It enables to measure absorption acoustical data down to 100 Hz due to the exploitation of the non-linear ultrasonic demodulation phenomenon in air. Fine measurements of acoustic absorption are compared to numerical predictions based on the “equivalent-fluid” model (when the squeleton frame is motionless), and to some measurements performed on a Brüel and Kjaer impedance tube. Dispersion curves are also measured and compared to the numerical predictions for some automotive felt materials which are compressed at various ratios. Data obtained with a dedicated portable instrument are also discussed for the same type of materials and configurations.     

Dimers on the kagome lattice II: Correlations and the Grassmannian approach

In this paper we continue our consideration of closed-packed dimers on the kagome lattice. Using the Pfaffian approach we evaluate the correlation between dimers on two lattice edges. It is found that the correlation is extremely short-ranged in the case of symmetric dimers weights. Explicit expressions for the nonvanishing correlations are obtained for two dimers in the interior of a large lattice. We also describe a Grassmannian functional integral approach, and use it to evaluate the dimer generating function and correlation functions.     

一维自旋-1/2XY模型的磁场效应

本文主要利用Haldane的谐振流理论——玻色化方法研究外场中的自旋-1/2XY模型。本文首先将无磁场情况下该模型的哈密顿进行了玻色化与对角化,并单独讨论了磁场项,最后两者联合给出外磁场中一维自旋-1/2模型哈密顿的玻色化形式。在这种形式下哈密顿量中的协变问题可以通过平移费米点来解决,所以,在阿贝尔玻色化方案下对玻色场算符做了重新定义,得到一个新的协变的哈密顿,从而解决了由于扰动所带来的问题,各关联函数也随之给出;最后简单讨论了平移费米点给模型关联函数的表达式带来的变化,以及玻色化方法较之其他方法的优长。     

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy as a tool for discrimination of glass for forensic applications

Materials analysis and characterization can provide important information as evidence in legal proceedings. The potential of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the discrimination of glass fragments for forensic applications is presented here. The proposed method is based on the fact that glass materials can be characterized by their unique spectral fingerprint. Taking advantage of the multielement detection capability and minimal to no sample preparation of LIBS, we compared glass spectra from car windows using linear and rank correlation methods. Linear correlation combined with the use of a spectral mask, which eliminates some high-intensity emission lines from the major elements present in glass, provides effective identification and discrimination at a 95% confidence level.     

Mathematical relations between codon bias indexes and their applications

Codon Adaptation Index (CAI), Effective Number of Codons as well as its modifications , can be used to measure gene codon bias. In this article, we prove is more efficient and unbiased than and by revisiting correlations of them with CAI in the level of individual amino acid’s codon bias. Correlations are studied by mathematical expressions rather than statistic methods, because the latter unavoidably depend on the data set used. Additionally, the immediate cause of correlations of with CAI (as well as those of RSCU with CAI) are also described in mathematical language. Perhaps, mathematics provides us a new way to study correlations between biological indexes.

冷原子系综中偏振关联光子对的产生和测量

我们在~(87)Rb冷原子系综中进行了关联光子对的产生和测量。通过自发拉曼散射过程,产生了一个Stokes光子和一个原子自旋波激发。利用电磁感应透明效应将存储在原子系综中的自旋波转化为一个anti-Stokes光子。在两相互正交的偏振基下,测量了Stokes光子和anti-Stokes光子之间的交叉关联函数。实验结果表明,交叉关联函数g~(2)达到~75,表现了强的非经典关联。基于现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)的自编程的多通道符合器被用于光子脉冲信号的采集和逻辑处理,大大提高了偏振关联光子对的产生和测量速度,为以后量子中继技术中的高效信息处理提供了重要基础。
