Indirect detection of nuclear magnetic resonance via geometrically induced long-range dipolar fields

We report the indirect detection of the magnetization of one spin species via the NMR signal of a second species. Our method relies on the control of long-range dipolar fields between two separate objects, in this case, a water droplet (sensor) immersed in a tube containing mineral oil (sample). Unlike prior experiments, no gradient pulses are used; rather, the setup geometry is exploited to select the part of the sample to be probed and modulate the spin alignment in the sensor. Our results are discussed in the context of Dipolar Field Microscopy, a proposed strategy in which the detector is a hyperpolarized tip.     

Strategies for bass enhancement in Multiactuator Panels for Wave Field Synthesis

In this paper, an extension of the useful bandwidth in the low frequency band is applied to compensate the inherent poor bass response of Multiactuator Panels. These are a special type of flat panel loudspeakers that are commonly used to reproduce spatial audio under the Wave Field Synthesis system. The proposed algorithm combines two strategies: first, a dynamic electrical equalization, applied to additional exciters, which are carefully positioned to excite the lower frequency modes of the panel; second, a psycho-acoustical approach, taking profit of the behavior of human hearing based on the missing fundamental principle. For comparison purposes, the shelving and peak equalizations are also applied to the MAP prototypes developed in this paper. Objective and subjective results show that the combined approach results in an effective extension in the low frequency end of MAP with very low levels of distortion, outperforming conventional equalization methods, with better low frequency behavior, and hence better audio quality perception.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Field Enhancement Behavior of ZnO Nanorods Pattern

We provide a new way to prepare ZnO nanorods pattern from the solution composed of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) and Zn(NO₃)₂. The substrate is ITO substrate covered by well ordered Au islands. Since Au and the underneath ITO substrate have two different nucleation rates in the initial stage of heterogeneous nucleation process, the subsequent ZnO growth on the quick nucleating area takes place under diffusion control and is able to confine the synthesis of ZnO nanorods to specific locations. The concentrations of zinc nitrate and HMT are well adjusted to show the possibility of the new route for the patterning of the ZnO nanorods. Furthermore, the nanorods pattern was characterized by X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence and the performance of field emission property from ZnO nanorod patterns was investigated. The ZnO nanorods pattern with a good alignment also shows a good field enhancement behavior with a high value of the field enhancement factor.     

空气中痕量铀的现场光度法测定

作为一种天然放射性金属元素,铀及其化合物可以地气为分散系,以气溶胶形式稳定存在并随空气迁移。气相中铀可经多种途径对人体造成放射性危害,而其浓度变化与该区域核能开发与利用有关。因此,对空气中铀的快速现场检测具有现实意义。采用普通气泵对低品位铀矿石上方的空气进行采样,并以2.0 mol·L-1硝酸溶液对气体进行吸收,向溶液中添加固体试剂包,对溶液中微量铀进行显色后以手持式光度计进行现场光度分析。结果表明：对于普通低品位铀矿石样品,空气中铀含量可用本方法检出,该方法多次测定的RSD为1.72%,其结果与ICP-MS分析结果一致。将该方法用于区分铀矿石和其他矿石,具有成本低廉,操作方便,结果准确可靠等优点。     

利用一种偏振方法减小由强反射或弱反射强度引起的植被反演误差

无论是多角度遥感的发展、还是偏振、高光谱遥感的发展,它们有一个相同的目的,即利用电磁波的种种特性、以及空间特性来对地球表面的一切地物进行精确的识别。任何单一的方法和手段不可能完整地描述和反映地物的所有特征。偏振测量是目标测量识别技术中不可缺少的技术之一,并且成为近年来全世界目标识别领域中的研究热点。由于定量遥感的反射强度对植被遥感的影响不可忽视,反射辐射信号呈现饱和或过弱都不能被检测到。而偏振是植被定量遥感的重要手段,因而有必要开发一种克服由反射强度强弱引起的植被反演误差的方法,这也是我们目前的研究目标。如果反射的辐射信号太强或太弱,都会影响遥感的准确性,而来自植被的偏振光可以提供有用的信息,特别是当反射的辐射信号饱和时,使得传感器不能获得足够有用的非偏振信息。本研究采用基于地面的偏振成像光谱仪系统,开发了一种偏振方法来克服反射强度过强过弱引起的植被反演误差。利用FISS-P偏振成像光谱仪系统研究了反射强度对遥感植被NDVI和DoLP效用的影响,实验地点在北京市中国科学院奥林匹克科技园。在对目标采样时对反射率强,反射率弱以及反射率适中的植被分别测量,同时对目标植被的不同波段(470, 555, 670, 864 nm)的DoLP进行计算与分析。地基成像光谱仪系统(FISS-P)提供了具有偏振信息的高空间分辨率图像,我们可以确定在阴影和强反射区域中单个像素的光谱偏振特性。在成像光谱信息的基础上,利用光的偏振性来对地物的物理特性进行分析。本文使用斯托克斯分量来表征反射光的各个偏振分量,使用线偏振度(DoLP)表征反射光偏振程度。信号饱和度和阴影效应导致归一化植被指数(NDVI)植被密集程度非常低,造成严重的反演误差,然而强反射对线偏振度(DoLP)的影响不大。研究结果表明,反射辐射信号饱和时,偏振效应可以通过适当的频带提高植被的反演精度,平均NDVI的相对误差为33.8％,而DoLP(670 nm)的相对误差仅为6.3％,而其他波段的DoLP(555 nm,864 nm)的相对误差要大很多。这项研究结果表明,在植被识别时可以忽略强反射,然而,阴影(弱反射)效应是不容忽视的。FISS-P偏振成像光谱仪是用于计算具有不同反射强度的样品类型的偏振和非偏振参数的有效工具,同时发现在识别植被时,强烈的反射可以忽略不计,但是植被的阴影(弱反射)效应不容忽视。与非偏振方法相比,偏振效应可以提高反射辐射信号饱和时的植被反演精度。这项研究分析了使用偏振法强弱反射强度引起的误差减少。为了进一步揭示植被的阴影(弱反射)效应与DoLP之间的关系,还有一些问题需要解决。     

基于碳纳米管X射线源的生物医学成像

Although discovered more than 100 years ago, X-ray source technology has evolved rather slowly. The recent invention of the carbon nanotube (CNT) X-ray source technology holds great promise to revolutionize the field of biomedical X-ray imaging. CNT X-ray sources have been successfully adapted to several biomedical imaging applications including dynamic micro-CT of small animals and stationary breast tomosynthesis of breast cancers. Yet their more important biomedical imaging applications still lie ahead in the future, with the development of stationary multi-source CT as a noteworthy example.

Electric field effects on the dielectric and acoustic anomalies of Pb[(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.83Ti0.17]O3 single crystals studied by dielectric and Brillouin spectroscopies

The effect of the electric field on the dielectric and acoustic properties of Pb[(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)_0.83Ti_0.17]O₃ single crystals was investigated as functions of temperature and the electric field strength. The dielectric constant and the acoustic mode behaviors exhibited typical relaxor behaviors when there was no bias field. The longitudinal acoustic mode showed splitting under a moderate electric field of 1 kV/cm applied along the [001] direction, indicating coexistence of macroscopic/mesoscopic ferroelectric states and relaxor states. Further increase in the electric field up to 2 kV/cm induced a clear ferroelectric phase transition, which became smeared out due to the proximity of the electric field to the critical point. The electric field-temperature phase diagram of Pb[(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)_0.83Ti_0.17]O₃ was suggested based on the observed field-induced changes in the dielectric and the acoustic properties.
