The acoustic characteristics of clause, sentence and paragraph boundaries in Chinese Putonghua

The acoustic and perceptive characteristics of discourse units, including clauses, simple sentences, compound sentences and paragraphs, were studied. The acoustic characteristics were based on the analysis of a speech corpus consisted of ten monologues. The Perceived Boundary Strength (PBS) of the monologues was labeled on a five-point scale by 25 participants. The main results are as follows: (1) There is a significant difference in the PBS of clauses (corresponding to intonational phrase), sentences (including simple sentences and compound sentences) and paragraphs. But the PBS of simple sentences and compound sentences is the same, and the pitch reset and pause are also not significantly different between these two kinds of boundaries. (2) The pitch-based cue used to distinguish clauses, sentences and paragraphs appears to be the difference between pre- and post-boundary syllables, but not simply the pitch value of either syllable alone. (3) Declination mainly occurs within intonational phrases, whereas there is no consistent global declination in sentences or in paragraphs. (4) Pauses are longer and more varied at the boundary of larger discourse units. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between pause duration and degree of pitch reset at clause boundaries, but not at sentence or paragraph boundaries.     

Lu2Si2O7：Ce晶体的闪烁性能

用提拉法生长了Lu2Si2O7：Ce晶体，对该晶体的闪烁性能进行了研究。透射光谱表明，Lu2Si2O7：Ce晶体的吸收边比Lu2SiO5：Ce晶体向短波方向移动了25nm，使透光范围进一步拓宽。X射线发射光谱和UV激发发射光谱均具有典型的双峰特征，主峰在378nm。UV激发发射谱具有温度效应，即375K以上时，发光效率迅速降低；425K以上时，发光主峰位明显红移。衰减曲线符合单指数式衰减规律，常温下经UV激发后的衰减时间约为34ns。从曲线形态看，375K以下的衰减谱与室温下的几乎完全相同，拟合的结果在32．8～34ns之间；衰减时间的温度效应从375K开始显现，即随温度的升高，衰减时间有加速变短的趋势，到500K时缩短为6．72ns。热释光谱在488，553K处有两个热释光峰，但室温附近几乎观察不到热释光峰。     

Photoluminescent properties and Raman spectra of ZnO-based scintillating glasses

Glasses in SiO₂–ZnO–BaO system with the different ZnO/BaO ratio were studied. In some cases, BaF₂ was introduced to substitute for BaO on the equal base. Photoluminescent spectra showed that ZnO in glass matrices behaved somewhat differently from ZnO crystals. Especially, the introduction of fluorine ions led to dramatic shift of UV emission band of glasses closer to that of ZnO crystals. Raman spectral analysis provided consistent results. In particular, Raman bands in the high frequency region are sensitive to effects of different ZnO/BaO or BaF₂/BaO ratio on structure of glasses.

硅中铜与电子辐照缺陷的相互作用

本文研究了FZ与CZ硅中铜与电子辐照缺陷的相互作用.实验表明,这种作用使扩铜并经电子辐照的n型FZ硅出现两个未经报道的新的深中心,E(0.043)和E(0.396).前者只存在于FZ硅而不存在于CZ硅.后者在扩铜并经电子辐照的n型FZ和CZ硅中都存在.电子辐照再加适当温度的热处理还可电激活硅中的铜,另外,铜的存在还使硅中双空位的退火温度显著地降低.种种实验表明,在硅中与铜有关的六个主要能级分别对应于六种不同结构的深中心,在这些深中心之中既包含铜又包含点缺陷.其中E(0.043)很可能是铜与间隙硅原子的络合物,而E(0.167)及H(0.411)则很可能是铜与空位的不同形态的络合物.     

Relativistic Electromagnetic Solitary Wave in a Cylindrical Magnetized Plasma

In the presence of an applied static and uniform magnetic field, a cylindrical Kadomtsev-Petviashivili equation is derived for a relativistic electromagnetic solitary wave propagating in collisionless plasma consisting electrons, positrons, and ions in the case of weak relativistic limit. This equation is solved in a stationary frame to obtain explicit expression for the velocity, amplitude and width of solitons. The amplitude of the solitary wave has a maximum value at a critical αc of the ratio of the ion equilibrium density to the electron one, and it increases as the applied magnetic field becomes larger.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structure of [（PbCl2）μ-PyZ）1/2]n （Pyz = Pyrazine）

1 INTRODUCTION Because of the flexibility of Pb(II) coordination sphere and the nonstereospecific nature of halide anions[1], the chemistry of lead halide complexes has been developed in recent years. Especially PbX2- based coordination polymers with nitrogen-contain- ing Lewis bases have attracted renewed interest[2～11]. The choice of ligand and the reaction condition are of great importance in determining the final topo- logy of the supramolecular materials. But the avail- able struc…     

Photoluminescence Characterization of Silicon Nanoparticles Hybridized Europium Complex

A europium complex Eu (DBM)3 TPPO (Eu tris(benzoylmethide)-(triphenylphosphine oxide)) and silicon nanoparticles have been hybridized.The hybridization can evidently change the photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of the Eu complex in the following aspects:under an excitation of 390nm,the intensity of the PL peak at 611nm due to the ^5Du-^7F2 transition of the Eu^3 ions has been increased by 30%,and thc integrated PL intensity in the visible range has been increased by nearly 3 times;the PL excitation efficiency beyond 440nm has been improved cvidently;the peak in the PL excitation spectrum shifts from 408nm to 388nm,and the PL decay time decreases from 2.07 to 0.96μs,The experimental results indicatde that in the PL process,the photoexcited energy may transfer from the silicon nanoparticlcs to the Eu^3 ions.
