多峰场负氢离子源磁体布局对等离子体特性影响的数值模拟研究

负氢离子源的研究对于响应国家散裂中子源建设和国际热核聚变实验堆计划的开展都具有十分重要的意义. 由于离子源本身的物理特性导致数值模拟成为不可或缺的研究手段, 基于此, 首先对自主研发的全三维粒子模拟/蒙特卡罗碰撞算法进行阐述, 然后对负氢离子体积过程进行描述, 并在此基础上对中国原子能研究中心的多峰质子源进行了系统仿真, 在引出磁体极性相同和相反两种情形下, 分别对多峰质子源放电特性进行了讨论和分析. 结果显示: 在相反极性下, 两引出磁体附近的磁漂移方向相同且数值较大, 即磁漂移剧烈, 导致电子总数较大且高能电子在特定区域活跃, 进而负氢离子体积产率较高, 即负氢离子在空间呈现Y漂移; 反之, 在相同极性下, 电子约束效果相对较差且负氢离子体积产率较低, 但其空间分布均匀.     

In Situ Correlations Between Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and Pah Metabolizing System Activities in Mussels and Fish in the Mediterranean Sea: Preliminary Results

Abstract

Biochemical indices based on enzymatic activities have been determined in fish and mussels sampled in various different coastal locations in the Mediterranean Sea. Preliminary results show a good agreement between biochemical measurements in marine organisms and chemical analyses of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in sediments. The results obtained suggest the use of biochemical indices for application in chemical contaminant biomonitoring.     

Adoption of Common Schemes for Single and Sequential Extractions of Trace Metal in Soils and Sediments

Abstract

The various methods for determining the mode of occurrence of trace metals in sediments and soils have a long history which dates back to the determinations of the availability of metals for plant nutrition performed earlier. Various methods have been developed in the 70′s and 80′s dealing with both single and sequential extraction schemes. Although some schemes received wide acceptance, none of them developed into a commonly accepted procedure. As a result, the information obtained was site-specific and the interpretation of the results scientist-specific. The workshop on single and sequential extraction in sediments and soils held at Sitges     

Arsenic Speciation in Marine Sediments: Effects of Redox Potential and Reducing conditions

Abstract

The speciation of arsenic in the environment is among others controlled by reduction, methylation and oxidation processes and therefore influenced by the prevailing redox conditions. In this study we have analyzed sediments taken from La Coruña estuary in the north west of Spain. Inorganic (trivalent and pentavalent) and the organic (MMA and DMA) arsenic speciation is related to Eh, Fe and Mn load. The various of the arsenic species concentration and other parameters was analyzed at different depths in some of the sampling points. Low arsenic concentrations (1–10 μg·g^–1) were found. In spite of oxidising conditions (Eh values between 31–96 mV), most of the samples showed a higher As(V) percentage than As (III). Principal component analysis was made to see a sample groups and the results showed that speciation depends on reducing conditions (Eh and Mn).     

Marine Sediments and Snow from Ross Sea Region (Antarctica) Dating by 210Pb Method

Abstract

²¹⁰Pb is widely used to determine accumulation rates in order to obtain a time scale in environmental samples. The most accurate method uses the determination of ²¹⁰Pb via its grand-daughter ²¹⁰Po by alpha spectrometry. Unfortunately this method requires a complex wet-chemistry procedure to achieve the separation of ²¹⁰Po from its matrix. In this work a simplified procedure for the chemical separation of ²¹⁰Po is proposed and applied to three marine sediment cores and a 10 m snow core collected in Antarctica. The calculated sedimentation rates for marine sediments range from 0.053 to 0.071 cm y^?1. The mean annual accumulation rate for the snow is 16.6 cm y^?1 w.e. A comparison with literature data in the same region is given.

Analysis of Organic Compounds in Antarctic Snow and Their Origin

Abstract

Organic compounds extractable with n-hexane were identified and quantitatively determined in pack, surface and deep snow samples taken at different depths and collected at several altitudes above sea level from Antarctica during the 1993/94 Italian expedition. The comparison between the composition of organic compounds in snow and the ones in pack and sea-water samples pointed out that the three matrices substantially contain the same biogenic and anthropogenic organic compounds. The contribution of marine aerosol to organic content in the snow is confirmed by the enrichment ratios calculated for the more representative classes of identified compounds (n-alkanes, phthalates and low molecular weight alkylbenzenes). The changes in the composition of organic compounds in snow as the altitude increases seem to depend on the dimensional spectrum of the aerosol. Thus, smallest particles, richest in surfactant material, reach the highest altitudes.     

Exact pressure integrations on submerged bodies in waves using a quadtree adaptive mesh algorithm

The development of an adaptive free surface, mesh cutting, methodology, in order to analytically integrate pressures on varying wet parts of partially submerged surfaces in the presence of waves, is presented. Given a function of free‐surface elevation, the algorithm checks for the intersection of the body with the free surface and, based on user‐defined parameters, modifies the initial mesh, by subdividing the elements where necessary and eliminating others, via a quadtree approach. Redundant sub‐divisions, generated in the quad‐division process, are partially eliminated, but the quadrilateral nature of the elements is always kept. The free‐surface function must be single‐valued and its definition domain simply connected. Hydrostatic and Froude–Krylov forces are computed exactly on each panel by means of analytical formulations, which are derived and presented, based on the theory of linear gravity waves and from applying Green's theorem.

Development and validation of a high‐throughput online solid‐phase extraction–liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method for the detection of gonyautoxins 1&4 and gonyautoxins 2&3 in human urine

Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs), including gonyautoxins and saxitoxins, are produced by multiple species of microalgae and dinoflagellates, and are bioaccumulated by shellfish and other animals. Human exposure to PSTs typically occurs through ingestion of recreationally harvested contaminated shellfish and results in nonspecific symptomology. Confirmation of exposure to PSTs has often relied on the measurement of saxitoxin, the most toxic congener; however, gonyautoxins (GTXs), the sulfated carbamate derivatives of saxitoxin, may be present in shellfish at higher concentrations. To improve identification of PST exposures, our group has developed an online solid phase extraction hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography method to identify GTX1–4 in human urine with tandem mass spectrometry. The reportable range varied for each analyte, with all falling within 0.899 and 250 ng/mL in urine with precision <15% and >85% accuracy as determined for all quality control samples. This new online method quantitates GTX1–4 following exposures to PSTs, supporting the work of public health authorities.
