Tb(III) Speciation in Human Blood Plasma by Computer Simulation

With the wide application of rare earth fertilizer and medicines1, more and more rare earths enter into environment, and also into human body via food chain. Now it is very urgent to study the biological effect of rare earths on human health and environment. After entering into human body by whatever route, lanthanide ions are transported to secondary deposition sites mainly via the plasma in the blood stream. So it is very important to study lanthanides speciation in human blood plasma. Becau…     

Hair analysis and the early detection of imbalances in trace elements for members of expeditions in Antarctica

In the framework of the Human Biology and Medicine Project of the National Program for Research in Antarctica (Programma Nazionale di Ricerche in Antartide, PNRA) a study was undertaken to explore the suitability of trace element determination in human hair as a tool for the early detection of the impact of extreme environmental conditions on the health of members of the Italian and French expeditions. This study included three campaigns, namely, the 1995–1996 expedition to the Italian base of Terra Nova Bay, as well as the 1997–1998 and 1998–1999 expeditions to both the Italian base of Terra Nova Bay and the Italian–French base of Dome C. Sampling of hair of participants in the expeditions was carried out both prior to departure and at the end of the period spent at the bases. As regards storage, pre-treatment and analysis of hair samples they were performed in accordance with previously established procedures. Acid-assisted microwave digestion was adopted as the best approach for preparing solutions for subsequent analysis by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. In the first part of this study, only the elements Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg and Zn were selected, while at a later stage it was decided to also include Co, Cr, Mn, Mo and Ni. Experimental results were subjected to basic statistical analysis to detect possible significant differences in element concentrations that occurred during the sojourn at the bases, with a view to identify possible remedial action to minimize adverse consequences.     

Modification of porous poly(ether sulfone) membranes by low‐temperature CO2‐plasma treatment

A general method of modifying the entire cross section of porous poly(ether sulfone) membranes with a low‐temperature CO₂‐plasma treatment is reported. Both surfaces of the membranes are highly hydrophilic, with a water drop on the surface disappearing in less than 1 s, even 6 months after plasma treatment. This high hydrophilicity of both membrane surfaces results from the incorporation of hydrophilic functionalities, as evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The incorporation of these hydrophilic functionalities takes place primarily during plasma treatment, with some incorporation of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen immediately upon exposure to air. Scanning electron microscopy shows that the membrane surface is covered by a thin, white layer that is likely the result of etching and redeposition of sputtered surface fragments. An increase in the water bubble point and glass‐transition temperature is also observed for CO₂‐plasma‐treated membranes. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Decomposition of Benzene in Air in a Plasma Reactor: Effect of Reactor Type and Operating Conditions

The decomposition of benzene was carried out in two types of plasma reactors packed with BaTiO₃ pellets: one reactor had two stainless steel electrodes (SUS reactor), and the other reactor had a glass layer between two concentric electrodes (GL reactor). The decomposition efficiency and the suppression of formation of N₂O and NO_x were greater in the GL reactor than in the SUS reactor. In contrast, the suppression of O₃ formation and the oxidation to CO_x in the SUS reactor were superior to those in the GL reactor. The effect of wa eform and frequency of applied ac power was in estigated for each reactor.

Optical emission from laser-produced chromium and magnesium plasma under the effect of two sequential laser pulses

Parametric study of optical emission from two successive laser pulses produced chromium and magnesium plasma is presented. The line emission from chromium and magnesium plasma showed an increase by more than six times for double laser pulse excitation than for single-pulse excitation. An optimum increase in emission intensity was noted for inter-pulse delay of ∼2–3 μs for all the elements. The experimental observations were qualitatively explained on the basis of absorption of second laser pulse in the pre-formed (by first laser) coronal plasma by inverse Bremsstrahlung process, which were found responsible for the excitation of more ions and atoms in the plasma. This process starts as the plasma scale length becomes greater than the laser wavelength. This study further indicated the suitability of this technique in the field of elemental analysis     

Analysis of one-and two-particle spectra at RHIC based on a hydrodynamical model

We calculate the one-particle hadronic spectra and correlation functions of pions based on a hydrodynamical model. Parameters in the model are so chosen that the one-particle spectra reproduce experimental results of √s= 130 AGeV Au + Au collisions at RHIC. Based on the numerical solution, we discuss the space-time evolution of the fluid. Two-pion correlation functions are also discussed. Our numerical solution suggests the formation of the quark-gluon plasma with large volume and low net baryon density.

Resonant two-photon ionization with high-order continuum states

In this paper,the resonant two-photon ionization of atoms with high-order con-tinuum state is studied.It's found that the C-C coupling among the continuum states enhancesthe two-level atomic Rabi oscillation,and the direct transition from the intermidiate excitedstate to the continuum weakens the Rabi oscillation.Therefore the photoelectron energy spec-tra and the population are changed.     

平行板静电场法离子引出的对称收集

离子引出的研究在AVLIS工程中有重要的意义，离子引出量和引出时间直接关系到整个系统 的离子收集效率. 在静电场中，由于等离子体屏蔽效应的存在，等离子体电位要高于正、负 极板的电位，而且在靠近正、负极板的两侧均存在鞘层. 理论模拟表明在正极板一边也可以 引出离子. 选取铯（Cs）作为实验对象，研究静电场对Cs等离子体的离子引出，使用安装在 两个极板上的法拉第筒收集离子引出信号. 实验结果表明，正极板确实可以引出离子，随着 外加电压的升高，从正极板一边引出离子的比率降低. 关键词： AVLIS 离子引出 等离子体
