HL-2M 磁体系统安装中的定位与测量

为提高磁体系统安装精度,在 HL-2M 集成大厅建立 63 个基准点构成测量基准网,并利用激光跟 踪仪等高精度测量设备建立每个磁体的局部坐标系,测量特征点的局部坐标;基于测量基准网和公共测量点,采 用最佳拟合得到坐标转换矩阵,以此得到特征点在测量基准网的位置,指导磁体安装。完成安装后的中心柱同支 撑基础的同轴度为∅2.03mm;PF1~PF4 线圈安装标高偏差为±0.5mm,与中心柱的同轴度为∅2.60mm;PF5/6/7/8 线圈与中心柱的同轴度偏差小于∅3.00mm,标高偏差在[−1mm, 1mm]区间内。基于以上方法所得到的线圈安装精 度都满足设计需求。     

Phase diagrams of lyotropic cholesteric fluids

Experimental investigations of lyotropic cholesterics fluids are presented which show that changes in the shape anisotropy and chirality of the micellar population determine the topology of the temperature-concentration phase diagrams. For given amounts of the substances which induce the chirality and modify the shape anisotropy of the micelles, two distinct biaxial cholesteric phases are disclosed in the phase diagrams. This is interpreted in the framework of the catastrophe theory of phase transitions.     

Role of surface proteins in the deposition kinetics of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts

A radial stagnation point flow system was used to investigate the influence of Cryptosporidium parvum surface properties on oocyst deposition kinetics onto solid surfaces. To determine the role of oocyst surface proteins in adhesion, the deposition kinetics of viable oocysts were compared with the deposition kinetics of oocysts treated (inactivated) with either heat or formalin. Results showed a significantly higher deposition rate with formalin and heat-treated oocysts compared to viable oocysts under identical solution ionic strengths. Low deposition rates and corresponding attachment efficiencies were observed with viable oocysts over the entire range of solution conditions investigated, even at high ionic strengths where DLVO theory predicts the absence of an electrostatic energy barrier. An "electrosteric" repulsion between the viable Cryptosporidium oocyst and the quartz substrate, attributed to proteins on the oocyst surface, is surmised to cause this low deposition rate. Inactivation of the oocysts with either formalin or heat resulted in increased attachment efficiencies over the entire range of ionic strengths examined. It is hypothesized that formalin and heat treatments alter the structure of surface proteins and thus reduce steric repulsion. Formalin treatment was also found to impart an increased hydrophobicity to the oocyst surface and thus greater enhancement in oocyst deposition kinetics compared to heat treatment.     

Simulating the effect of nepotism on political risk taking and social unrest

Nepotism has been the primary influence on political behavior throughout human history. Despite the spread of democracy in the 20th century, nepotistic regimes have hardly disappeared. Nepotism heavily influences political activity throughout the developing world, Middle East, and central Asia where family ties are essential for gaining access to power, state resources, and privileges. Rebelling against such nepotistic regimes is difficult and risky. RiskTaker is an agent-based model we developed for testing the influences of various social forces on risk taking behavior, including the formulation of rebellious coalitions. We use RiskTaker to examine the influence of nepotism on the distribution of wealth and social status. Nepotism heavily skews the distribution of wealth and status, leading to the formation of opposing coalitions and exacerbating social unrest.This paper was tied for Best Paper, NAACSOS (North American Association for Computational Social and Organizational Science) Annual Conference 2005, June 26–28, Notre Dame.
