Modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes by carboxy groups and determination of the degree of functionalization

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were modified by carboxy groups. Four independent methods for the determination of the degree of functionalization of the surface were proposed: ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, titrimetry, and fluorimetry. The first two methods show the total content of carboxy groups in the sample, and the latter two methods give information about the content of the surface groups only.

Physics in Melbourne

I survey highlights of the practice of physics and allied sciences in Melbourne,Australia, from the 1850s, soon after Europeans first settled in the area, to the present. I note recognizable sites of past and current physical-science activity that may be visited, as well as exhibits of historic items of physics apparatus. I trace the role of physics, in the course of a century and a half, in the evolution of a pioneering settlement into a large city embedded in a modern industrial economy.     

科技文化背景的多样性

通过对科技文化起源多元化、科技文化思想理念多样性的论述，指出了科技文化背景多样性的客观性、合理性，进而论证了科技文化背景多样性对于科技文化发展的意义。阐明了在现今科技发展基础上，尊重科技文化背景多样性的现实，进一步完善科学思维，实现在自然观、科学观、科学方法论等方面质的跃迁，对促进科技文化发展的作用。     

模糊半群上的模糊同余及其扩张

给出模糊半群上的模糊同余的概念，并进一步研究它的一些基本代数性质。同时研究带有模糊半群上的模糊同余扩张性质(FCEPF)的半群类，得到一个半群有模糊半群上的模糊同余扩张性质、有模糊同余扩张性质(FCEP)、有同余扩张性质(CEP)三个条件是等价的。

On the Solution of Discontinuous IVPs by Adaptive Runge–Kutta Codes

In this paper an automatic technique for handling discontinuous IVPs when they are solved by means of adaptive Runge–Kutta codes is proposed. This technique detects, accurately locates and passes the discontinuities in the solution of IVPs by using the information generated by the code along the numerical integration together with a continuous interpolant of the discrete solution. A remarkable feature is that it does not require additional information on the location of the discontinuities. Some numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed algorithms.     

硅色敏器件对复色光色差辨识能力的数值分析

对复色光的光谱功率分布和色敏器件光谱响应的实验曲线进行了函数拟合，采用Mathematica 4．2计算了具有不同峰值波长和半高宽的高斯分布的复色光在色敏器件中产生的电流比．计算结果表明，待测复色光的峰值波长和半高宽变化对两种典型的色敏器件的输出信号影响的权重比分别为100：1和10：1。权重比说明色敏器件的输出电流比随峰值波长和半高宽的变化非常灵敏，但两者权重不同，其中峰值波长的变化影响更为显著，是影响复色光颜色变化的主要因素．数值分析的结果表明，硅双结色敏器件对复色光色差有良好的辨识能力．两种器件权重比的差异说明了器件制作工艺与其辨识能力的关系，为器件合理设计提供了理论依据．     

Synthesis and simple separation of β-pyrrole sulfonated porphycenes

New water-soluble porphycenes having sulfonic acid groups at the β-pyrrolic positions were synthesized and characterized by UV-vis, NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopy as well as elemental analyses. The series of mono- to tri-sulfonato derivatives were simply separated by the extraction method.     

论海峡两岸一脉相承的敬字信仰——以福建客家地区为例

敬字信仰是中国历史上广泛存在于民间的一种信仰形式。迄今祖国大陆从文献资料出发研究敬字信仰的成果尚属空白。宝岛台湾虽然相关研究成果迭见，但研究的区域范围局限于台湾地区。笔者自去年以来通过在福建客家地区广泛的田野调查，从各种文献中搜寻到相当数量的第一手资料，有力印证了台湾学者提出的台湾敬字信仰来源于祖国大陆的观点，一定程度上弥补了海峡两岸敬字信仰渊源关系问题研究的资料空白，为证明海峡两岸敬字信仰的渊源关系提供了有力的证据．     

对英语专业八级口语口译考试评分的探讨

本文通过对英语专业八级口语口译考试的评分标准的考察，指出八级口语口译考试评分中两个突出的特点，即突出口语考试和口译考试评分“信息单元化”，从而影响口译质量评估的有效性。适当改变评分比例和口译评分标准的改进将有助于改善测评效果。
