Scintillation of partially coherent Gaussian–Schell model beam propagation in slant atmospheric turbulence considering inner- and outer-scale effects

Based on the modified Rytov theory and the international telecommunication union-radio （ITU-R） slant atmospheric structure constant model, the uniform scintillation index of partially coherent Gaussian-Schell model （GSM） beam propa- gation in the slant path is derived from weak- to strong-turbulence regions considering inner- and outer-scale effects. The effects of wavelength of beams and inner- and outer-scale of turbulence on scintillation are analyzed numerically. Compar- ison between the scintillation of GSM beams under the von Karman spectrum and that of beams under the modified Hill spectrum is made. The results obtained show that the scintillation index obtained under the von Karman spectrum is smaller than that under the modified Hill spectrum. This study can find theory bases for the experiments of the partially coherent GSM beam propagation through atmospheric turbulence.     

自适应光学系统测试中大气湍流的时域模拟

建立了大气湍流模拟的时域模型,用于在自适应光学系统的测试中模拟大气湍流的时域变化。讨论了时域模型下随机相位屏平滑帧数和刷新频率与平均风速的关系。结果表明：对表征随机波前的随机相位屏进行时域平滑可使随机波前的变化更符合大气湍流对入射波前连续平滑渐变的影响;随机相位屏的平滑帧数仅与系统口径和大气相干长度相关,而与风速无关;随机相位屏的刷新频率与平均风速成正比,平滑后的刷新频率还与平滑帧数成正比。最后,构造了一套大气湍流模拟装置,应用功率谱分析法对时域模型的有效性进行了验证。

采用UMT-3高温摩擦试验机评价了氩气气氛800℃热处理等离子喷涂NiAl-Bi₂O₃涂层在室温至800℃的摩擦磨损性能.通过分析热处理前后涂层及其摩擦表/界面的组成和微结构演变,首次研究了热处理NiAl-Bi₂O₃涂层的高低温润滑相(NiBi、Bi₂O₃和NiO)自适应再生机制及宽温域循环摩擦学行为.结果表明：热处理能使涂层中产生弥散增强的Al₂O₃和具有中低温润滑性的金属间化合物NiBi,提高了涂层室温至800℃的减摩抗磨性能,尤其使涂层在400℃的摩擦系数和磨损率分别从0.39和35.56×10^-5 mm³/(N·m)降至0.28和8.53×10^-5 mm³/(N·m);在800℃时,接触表面通过摩擦氧化再次产生润滑相(Bi₂O₃、NiO),并与增强相Al₂     

Theoretical characterization of the gas-phase O(3)HO hydrogen-bonded complex.

We report a theoretical study on two gas-phase hydrogen-bonded complexes formed between ozone and hydroxyl radical that have relevance to atmospheric chemistry. This study was carried out by using CASSCF, CASPT2, QCISD, and CCSD(T) theoretical approaches in conjunction with the 6-311+G(2df,2p) and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Both complexes have a planar structure and differ from each other in the orientation of the electronic density of the unpaired electron associated with the HO radical moiety. Our calculations predict their stabilities to be 0.87 and 0.67 kcal mol(-1), respectively, at 0 K and show the importance of anharmonic effects in computing the red shift of the HO stretch originating from the hydrogen-bonding interaction. We also report two transition states involving the movement of the HO moiety on the potential energy surfaces of these hydrogen-bonded complexes.     

Procedure for increasing the detection responses of estrogens in LC–MS based on introduction of a nitrobenzene moiety followed by electron capture atmospheric pressure chemical ionization

A practical procedure for determining estrogens in biological fluids has been studied using liquid chromatography–electron capture atmospheric pressure chemical ionization–mass spectrometry combined with derivatization. Among the commercially available reagents (4-nitrobenzoyl chloride, 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride and 4-nitrobenzyl bromide), 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride was of the most practical use; it rapidly and quantitatively reacted with estrogens and increased the detection responses by 8–23 times. The derivatization method allowed the reproducible and accurate quantification of serum and urine estrone and estradiol of a pregnant woman, which is useful for diagnosis of the fetoplacental function, with small amounts (10 μl) of sample and a simple pretreatment procedure.

A REVIEW OF POLAR STRATOSPHERIC CLOUD FORMATION

Liquid and solid particles in polar stratospheric clouds （PSCs） have been known to play a crucial role in the chemical loss of stratospheric ozone over the Antarctic and Arctic regions in late winter and early spring. The stratospheric aerosol and cloud particles provide the sites where fast heterogeneous chemical reactions convert inactive halogen reservoir species into potential ozone destroying radicals. The sedimentation of nitric acid-containing PSC particles irreversibly removes HNO3 gas （denitrification） from the lower stratosphere, which slows the return of chlorine to its inactive forms, resulting in more severe stratospheric ozone destruction. Although these clouds have been investigated extensively during the past decade using in situ field observation, laboratory experiment and modeling studies, the detailed microphysics processes under cold stratospheric conditions are still uncertain. This paper reviews the recent advances in our understanding of PSCs.     

Forced Convection with Slip-flow in a Channel or Duct Occupied by a Hyper-porous Medium Saturated by a Rarefied Gas

An analytic solution is obtained for forced convection flow in a parallel-plates channel or a circular duct occupied by a hyper-porous medium saturated with a rarefied gas in the slip-flow regime, for the case of uniform flux boundary conditions. As expected, it is found that velocity slip leads in general to increased heat transfer and temperature slip leads to reduced heat transfer.
