Using multi-exposure of color fringes to measure the beating motion of a moth

A multi-exposure of color fringes method has been developed to improve the capture speed of a conventional color CCD camera. In the method, four groups of projected fringe patterns encoded with different colors and different directions are stored in one CCD frame. Therefore the capture frequency of the conventional CCD can be improved to 200 Hz. It is available to measure the insect wings with low beating frequency, such as dragonfly, moth, or butterfly, whose beating frequency is about 30–40 Hz. We have used the method to measure the beating motion of a moth successfully.

放射性9C束流不同贯穿深度上的线能谱测量

为阐述放射性⁹C束流应用于治癌的物理基础, 运用一个球形生物组织等效正比计数器测量了⁹C束流不同贯穿深度上的线能谱, 得到了沿束流贯穿深度上的剂量平均线能分布. 将实验测量得到的线能谱转换成为不同传能线密度在吸收剂量中所占份额的分布, 得到了该⁹C束流在不同贯穿深度上的剂量平均传能线密度分布. 将生物组织等效正比计数器测量得到的与先前通过平行板正比计数器测量得到的该⁹C束流的剂量平均传能线密度分布进行比较, 发现: 在束流入射通道上, 两者测量数据符合很好, 而在束流Bragg峰附近⁹C离子的沉积区域, 由组织等效正比计数器测量得到的剂量平均传能线密度值大于由平行板正比计数器测量得到的值.     

Surface profile measurement of low-frequency vibrating objects using temporal analysis of fringe pattern

A simple and accurate algorithm (phase scanning method) is proposed for 3D surface contouring and dynamic response determination of a vibrating object. A sinusoidal fringe pattern is projected onto a low-frequency vibrating object by a programmable liquid crystal display projector. The fringe patterns are captured by a high-speed CCD camera with a telecentric gauging lens. Phase values are evaluated point by point using phase scanning method. From the phase values of each point on the object, the contour of the specimen at different instants of vibration can be retrieved. In this paper, a small vibrating coin is used to demonstrate the validity of the method and the experimental results are compared with test results on a stationary coin using four-step phase shifting and fast Fourier transform methods. The technique is especially useful in applications where the vibrating object has a complicated shape.     

侵彻环境下两种钨合金的细观响应特性

本文实验发现具有较大密度和较高速度的93W钨合金长杆模拟弹的穿靶深度反而比密度较小，速度较低的90W钨合金长杆弹的穿靶深度小．针对这一现象，本文从两种材料在侵彻环境下的细观响应特性的差异上给出了有实验根据的合理分析，结论是90W在侵彻环境下较易于形成绝热剪切带，从而在弹头部发生“自锐化”效应所致．     

Analysis of heterojunction resonant cavity-enhanced Schottky photodiodes by using two-valley transport model

The article concerns heterojunction resonant cavity-enhanced (RCE) Schottky photodiodes with GaAs in the absorption layer. The quantum efficiency and linear pulse response have thoroughly been analysed. For the first time, the response of a heterojunction photodiode has been modelled by the phenomenological model for a two-valley semiconductor. The results obtained have shown that the satellite valleys, as well as the parasitic time constant, significantly influence the response and, accordingly, have to be taken into account when analysing and optimizing RCE photodetectors.     

Carbon–epoxy composites based on fibers coated with nylon 6,6: hygrothermal ageing versus interlaminar shear strength

Carbon fibers were coated in situ with a thin film of polyhexamethylene adipamide by an interfacial polycondensation technique. The modified fibers were used for the preparation of epoxy-based unidirectional composites. Specimens of these materials were immersed in water until equilibrium conditions were attained. The weight gain at equilibrium was determined as a function of the immersion temperature, the fiber volume fraction and the polyamide content deposited on the fibers. Water penetration in specimens made with uncoated carbon fibers increases when the volume fraction decreases. Introduction of the polyamide interlayer initially increases the water absorption, but reduces it at higher immersion temperatures and/or higher polyamide contents. The treated specimens were subjected to the short beam test to determine the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). The data show that the ILSS decreases with water penetration but increases when the immersion temperature increases from 40 to 70°C. The overall performance encountered is discussed in terms of the possible roles of the polyamide interphase while taking into account mechanisms concerned with matrix plasticization, interphase degradation and residual stress relaxation.     

Influence of Cyclodextrin Complexation on the in vitro Human Skin Penetration and Retention of the Sunscreen Agent, Oxybenzone

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of cyclodextrins on the cutaneous availability of the sunscreen oxybenzone. The interaction between oxybenzone and hydrophilic α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin derivatives was studied in water by phase-solubility analysis. Among the available cyclodextrins, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and especially sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) had the greatest solubilizing activity. Ethanol–water solutions containing oxybenzone free or complexed with HP-β-CD or SBE-β-CD were applied to human skin in Franz diffusion cells and the amount of sunscreen permeated into the different cutaneous compartments was determined by HPLC. As much as 20.5% of the oxybenzone applied dose diffused within the skin tissue after 6 h application. Between 39.4% and 54.9% of the penetrated UV filter was localized in the stratum corneum, with no significant difference between uncomplexed oxybenzone or its complex with HP-β-CD. Conversely, the amount retained in the stratum corneum was markedly decreased (ca. 50%) by complexation with SBE-β-CD. Considerable quantities of oxybenzone accumulated into the viable epidermis (5.7% of the applied dose) and dermis (6.2% of the applied dose) from the preparation containing the free UV filter. The sunscreen penetration to the deeper living layers of the skin was remarkably lower (1.0% and 2.0% of applied dose for epidermis and dermis, respectively) upon application of the sunscreen complexed with SBE-β-CD, whereas HP-β-CD had no effect. In addition, photostability experiments demonstrated that SBE-β-CD complexation did not alter the sunscreen photochemical properties.
