超强激光场中氘原子电离几率的研究

研究了在相对论领域内,超强激光场的不同条件（频率、强度、脉冲波形磁场分量）对氘原子电离几率的影响,研究表明：电离几率随激光强度的增加而增加,随激光频率的增加而减少。而激光脉冲波形对电离几率的影响仅在激光无磁场分量时比较显著。激光场的磁场分量对原子的电离有一定的影响。     

太赫兹光谱技术用于干旱胁迫下大豆冠层含水量检测研究

近年来水资源短缺问题日益严重,部分地区由于农业灌溉用水不足导致庄稼减产农民利益受损。大豆是一种需水量较大的农作物,一旦水分亏缺将直接影响大豆植株的形态和生长发育,从而造成大豆品质降低和产量减少。大豆叶片的水分状况可真实地反映植株水分受土壤水分亏缺的影响程度,因此,大豆冠层叶片水分含量的快速获取成为一种需要。太赫兹辐射在水中的强烈衰减使其成为一种非常灵敏的非接触式探针,可以快速、无损地检测叶片含水量。因此基于太赫兹光谱这一新技术进行大豆冠层叶片含水量的检测研究,用于实时监测田间大豆的健康状况。实验选用中黄13号大豆进行栽培,为尽可能模拟田间不同程度的干旱胁迫状况,将开花期大豆进行5个不同梯度：正常供水、轻度干旱胁迫、中度干旱胁迫、重度干旱胁迫、严重干旱胁迫(分别占田间最大持水量的80%,65%,50%,35%,20%)的水分灌溉,每个梯度设置3个重复。利用人工称重法与便携式土壤水分速测仪结合将土壤含水量调控到各水分梯度要求。然后,将实验大豆植株运回实验室并利用透射式太赫兹时域光谱仪进行样本扫描,每个梯度采集18片冠层叶片,共90个样本,以2∶1的比例分为校正集和预测集。在获取各样本时域光谱数据后,根据Dorney和Duvillaret提出的模型进行了光学参数的提取,得到各样本的吸收系数谱以及折射率谱。定性分析了太赫兹时域光谱、吸收系数、折射率随水分胁迫程度不同的变化情况。实验发现：随着水分胁迫程度的降低,时域光谱的峰值呈不断衰减趋势,且均低于空白参考峰值,同时有明显的时间延迟。吸收系数值随干旱胁迫程度的加剧逐渐降低;折射率值同样随干旱胁迫程度的加剧逐渐降低。并利用偏最小二乘(PLS)和多元线性回归(MLR)方法定量研究了时域光谱、吸收系数、折射率光谱数据与叶片含水率的相关关系。结果表明,太赫兹波对大豆叶片水分差异十分敏感,基于时域光谱最大值和最小值的MLR预测精度最高,预测集相关性(r_p)达-0.939 3,均方根误差(RMSEP)为0.049 5。研究表明太赫兹光谱技术应用于大豆冠层叶片含水量观测具有良好的可行性,为开展大豆冠层含水量信息快速获取,实现科学节水管理与灌溉决策提供了新的检测手段和实验依据。     

Fictitious domain methods for two‐phase flow energy balance computations in nuclear components

This paper is dedicated to the numerical simulation of nuclear components (cores and steam generators) by fictitious domain methods. The fictitious domain approach consists in immersing the physical domain under study in a Cartesian domain, called the fictitious domain, and in performing the numerical resolution on this fictitious domain. The calculation times are then efficiently reduced by the use of fast solvers. In counterpart, one has to handle with an immersed boundary, generally non‐aligned with the Cartesian mesh, which can be non‐trivial. The two fictitious domain methods compared here on industrial simulations and developed by Ramière et al. deal with an approximate immersed interface directly derived from the uniform Cartesian mesh. All the usual immersed boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Robin, Neumann), possibly mixed, are handled through a unique formulation of the fictitious problem. This kind of approximation leads to first‐order methods in space that exhibit a good ratio of the precision of the approximate solution over the CPU time, which is very important for industrial simulations. After a brief recall of the fictitious domain method with spread interface (Ramière et al., CMAME 2007) and the fictitious domain method with immersed jumps (Ramière et al., JCP 2008), we will focus on the numerical results provided by these methods applied to the energy balance equation in a steam generator. The advantages and drawbacks of each method will be pointed out. Generally speaking, the two methods confirm their very good efficiency in terms of precision, convergence, and calculation time in an industrial context.

Magnetization switching modes in nanopillar spin valve under the external field

The current-induced magnetic switching is studied in Co/Cu/Co nanopillar with an in-plane magnetization traversed under the perpendicular-to-plane external field.Magnetization switching is found to take place when the current density exceeds a threshold.By analyzing precessional trajectories,evolutions of domain walls and magnetization switching times under the perpendicular magnetic field,there are two different magnetization switching modes:nucleation and domain wall motion reversal;uniform magnetization ...     

Krull property of generalized power series rings

Let D be an integral domain and let $(S,\le )$ be a torsion-free, ≤-cancellative, subtotally ordered monoid. We show that the generalized power series ring $?D^{S,\le }?$ is a Krull domain if and only if D is a Krull domain and S is a Krull monoid.     

Free boundary problem for a fully nonlinear and degenerate parabolic equation in an angular domain

This paper concerns with the problem of how to running an insurance company to maximize his total discounted expected dividends. In our model, the dividend rate is limited in $[0,M]$ and the company is allowed to transfer any proportion of risk by reinsuring. So there are two strategies which we call dividend strategy and reinsurance strategy. The objective function and the corresponding optimal two strategies are the solution and the two free boundaries of the following Barenblatt parabolic equation

$v_t?\underset{0\le a\le 1}{\max }?(\frac{1}{2}{a}^2{\sigma }^2{v}_{xx}+a\mu v_x)+cv?\underset{0\le l\le M}{\max }?[(1?v_x)l]=0$

under certain boundary conditions on an angular domain

$Q_T=\{(x,t)|0<x<Mt,0<t\le T\}.$

The main effort is to analyze the properties of the solution and the free boundaries to show the optimal decision for the insurance company.     

Phosphoinositide-binding interface proteins involved in shaping cell membranes

The mechanism by which cell and cell membrane shapes are created has long been a subject of great interest. Among the phosphoinositide-binding proteins, a group of proteins that can change the shape of membranes, in addition to the phosphoinositide-binding ability, has been found. These proteins, which contain membrane-deforming domains such as the BAR, EFC/F-BAR, and the IMD/I-BAR domains, led to inward-invaginated tubes or outward protrusions of the membrane, resulting in a variety of membrane shapes. Furthermore, these proteins not only bind to phosphoinositide, but also to the N-WASP/WAVE complex and the actin polymerization machinery, which generates a driving force to shape the membranes.     

Copper-containing dendromesogens: the influence of the metal on the mesomorphism

The synthesis and liquid crystalline behaviour of the first and second generations of a dendrimeric structure based on poly(propyleneimine)(DAB-dendr(NH₂)_x) are reported. 4-(4-n-Alkoxybenzoyloxy)salicylaldehydes are used as mesogenic moieties attached at the peripheral amino groups of the dendrimers giving rise to dendromesogens with four and eight mesogenic branches. From these dendromesogens, considered as organic ligands, were prepared six metal-containing dendrimers which incorporate two or four copper atoms in their structures. All the dendrimeric ligands and three of the metal-containing dendrimers exhibit liquid crystalline properties which were studied by optical microscopy, DSC, X-ray diffraction and EPR spectroscopy.
