An electron paramagnetic resonance study of the influence of spermine on the photophysical reactions of tryptophan in aqueous solution at 77–200 K

The influence of the antioxidant spermine of the UV-induced formation of free radicals from tryptophan in frozen aqueous solutions was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) instrumentation, and the stability of the radicals was investigated in the range 95–200 K. Without spermine, the tryptophan cation and neutral tryptophan radical were stabilized at 77 K; cations were formed by electron ejection from an excited singlet state, and neutral radicals by hydrogen donation from tryptophan in the triplet state. When present, spermine trapped the ejected photoelectrons; the rates of the two photoreactions of tryptophan were also influenced by spermine. Firstly, at low tryptophan concentrations, the yield of cations was reduced, due to diminished charge transfer from the excited singlet state to the solvation shell. Secondly, at high concentrations, minute additions of spermine enhanced intersystem crossing (which is quenched, in the absence of spermine, by dimerization) and, consequently, the yield of neutral radicals was increased. At 180 K, the electrons trapped by spermine were released and reacted with molecular oxygen to form the superoxide radical; at 190 K, the tryptophan radicals were thermally annealed.

对1997—2003年期间引起地磁扰动的72个加速日冕物质抛射(CME)事件和69个减速CME事件进行了特性分析，并针对经行星际闪烁(IPS)认证的32个加速CME引起的地磁扰动事件和32个减速CME引起的地磁扰动事件分类建立了新的从属函数μ_T和新的磁扰开始时间修正项, 经验证预报效果得到显著提高.对于加速CME引起的地磁扰动事件，磁扰开始时间的预报值T_pre与观测值T_obs比较，相对误差ΔT_pre/T_obs≤10%的事件占总事件数的21.86%；ΔT_pre/T_obs≤30%的事件为78.13%；而ΔT_pre/T_obs>50%的事件为9.36%；对于减速CME引起的地磁扰动事件相对误差ΔT_pre/T_obs≤10%的事件占总事件数的25.00%；ΔT_pre/T_obs≤30%的事件为84.37%；而ΔT_pre/T_obs>50%的事件仅为3.13%.这表明该预报方法对空间灾害性事件的磁扰动的定量预报具有很大的现实可能性. 关键词： 日冕物质抛射 地磁扰动 从属函数     

A universal algorithm for calculating the backscattering factor in Auger-electron spectroscopy

We describe a universal Monte Carlo algorithm that can be used for the efficient calculation of backscattering factors (BFs) for quantitative Auger-electron spectroscopy (AES). This algorithm makes use of the continuous slowing-down approximation and the electron stopping power instead of simulation of individual inelastic-scattering events. This approach is attractive because it can be applied to any material with an empirical formula for the stopping power, available data for differential elastic-scattering cross sections, and an empirical formula for inner-shell ionization cross sections. We report BFs for the Si KL₂₃L₂₃, Cu L₃M₄₅M₄₅, Ag M₅N₄₅N₄₅, and Au M₅N₆₇N₆₇ Auger transitions in the corresponding elemental solids. These BFs were calculated for normal incidence of the primary beam, primary energies from near threshold for ionization of the relevant core levels to 20 keV, and Auger-electron emission angles of 10°, 60°, and 80°. We found satisfactory agreement between these BFs and values obtained from a more accurate algorithm in which individual inelastic-scattering events were simulated. Percentage deviations between BFs from the two algorithms were <2% for Au, <5% for Ag, <7% for Cu, and <10% for Si for primary energies likely to be used in practical AES. These deviations arise mainly from our use of stopping powers from the empirical formula rather than more reliable values calculated from experimental optical data.     

The effect of laser peak power and pulse width on the hole geometry repeatability in laser percussion drilling

In this work, the two main factors that influence the repeatability of the laser percussion drilling process are identified. Experimental parametric analysis was carried out to correlate the laser parameters with the repeatability of a laser percussion drilling process. The experiment was conducted using a flash lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser to drill 2 mm thick mild steel sheets. The relationship between the percentage standard deviation (PSD) of entrance hole diameter, hole circularity and the operating parameters is established. Thirty-five holes were drilled and analysed for each set of identical laser parameters. The PSD of entrance hole diameter ranges between 1.47% and 4.78% for an operating window of 3.5–7 kW peak power, and 1–3 ms pulse width. The circularity of the entrance hole (defined as the ratio between the minimum and maximum diameters of the hole) ranges from 0.94 to 0.87, and is found to correlate with repeatability. The work shows that higher peak power, and shorter pulse width gives better hole geometry repeatability. The effect of melt ejection on hole geometry repeatability is also investigated. Melt ejection and spatter formation have been found to contribute to the poor repeatability of the process.     

Molecular dynamics simulations of jet breakup and ejecta production from a grooved Cu surface under shock loading

Large-scale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are performed to explore the jet breakup and ejecta production of single crystal Cu with a triangular grooved surface defect under shock loading. The morphology of the jet breakup and ejecta formation is obtained where the ejecta clusters remain spherical after a long simulation time. The effects of shock strength as well as groove size on the steady size distribution of ejecta clusters are investigated. It is shown that the size distribution of ejecta exhibits a scaling power law independent of the simulated shock strengths and groove sizes. This distribution, which has been observed in many fragmentation processes, can be well described by percolation theory.

We present a Tabu Search (TS) method that employs a simple version of ejection chains for coloring graphs. The procedure is tested on a set of benchmark problems. Empirical results indicate that the proposed TS implementation outperforms other metaheuristic methods, including Simulated Annealing, a previous version of Tabu Search and a recent implementation of a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP).
