Two-component model of solar plages

By use of the 2-m Mcmath-Pierce telescope at Kitt Peak, the high-quality spectra of a plage with moderate brightness near the center of solar disk were obtained. The data include seven spectral lines, which are Hα, Hβ, CaII H and K lines and the infrared triplet. With the consideration of fine structures of solar plages, a two-component atmospheric model is constructed by keeping the cool component to be the quiet atmosphere. Three cases of the hot component are given for different filling factors where the temperature and density distribution are adjusted in order to reproduce the seven observed spectral profiles. We also briefly discuss the influence of the column density at the base of the corona, m0, and the macro-turbulent velocity on the required filling factor and computed profiles. The two-component model is compared with precious one-component semi-empirical models. The limitation of the model is pointed out and further improvement is indicated.     

水平均匀大气中多束光在接收面上的相关性及其对光强起伏的影响

在科尔莫戈罗夫理论的基础上，推广了光束在接收面上相关函数的物理含义。分析了多光束在接收面上的相关性。并在此基础上形成多光束光强起伏方差的解析表达式。分析结果表明，随着信道间距的增加，信道相关性下降。到达接收面的光强起伏方差降低；当信道完全重合，即相关系数变为1时，叠加后的光强起伏方差没有明显降低。与单光束时没有区别；在允许范围内增加光束数目可降低光强起伏。     

Rhythmic pattern formations in gels and Matalon—Packter law: A fresh perspective

The periodic precipitation pattern formation in gelatinous media is interpreted as a moving boundary problem. The time law, spacing law and width law are revisited on the basis of the new scenario. The explicit dependence of the geometric structure on the initial concentrations of the reactants is derived. Matalon—Packter law, which relates the spacing coefficient with the initial concentrations is reformulated removing many ambiguities and impractical parameters. Experimental results are discussed to establish the significance of moving boundary concept in the diffusion controlled pattern forming systems

Results from Super-Kamiokande and K2K

Results from Super-Kamiokande-I’s entire 1496 live days of solar neutrino data are presented, including the absolute flux, energy spectrum, zenith angle (day/night) and seasonal variation. The possibility of MSW and vacuum oscillations is discussed in light of these results. Results from the first 1289 days of Super-K-I’s atmospheric neutrino analysis are also presented, including the evidence for ν_μ →ν _τ oscillations, against ν_μ → ν_sterile oscillations, and the current limits on proton decay. Finally, results based on 56 × 10¹⁹ protons on target are given for the K2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment.     

从芒果皮中提取果胶的工艺研究

果胶是一种大分子多糖类物质 ,具有良好的胶凝作用 ,用途广泛 ,在国内外市场上的销量很好。 1 990年世界上果胶总产量约 2 5 0 0 0吨 ,而我国 1 990年仅在食品工业上消耗的果胶就达 1 0 0 0吨 ,但国内市场上销售的果胶大部分为进口货[1] 。果胶在我国的生产仍处于开发阶段 ,所以发掘新的提取资源、提高果胶质量、降低果胶生产成本的意义十分重大。目前 ,已有以柑桔皮、向日葵盘、苹果皮、香蕉皮、马铃薯渣为原料提取果胶的研究报道 ,如何从芒果皮中提取果胶却未见报道。芒果在制造罐头和饮料中副产大量下脚料———芒果皮 ,未能得到充分利用…     

Indirect automatic atomic absorption determination of sulphate based on its precipitation with barium

A continuous precipitation flame atomization atomic absorption spectrometric method for the indirect determination of sulphate is proposed. By using a reversed flow-injection configuration for precipitation as barium sulphate, this anion was determined in the range 10–150 g/ml, with a relative standard deviation of 2.6%. The sensitivity was increased by a factor of seven by using a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame to measure barium.     

Genetic engineering to enhance the selectivity of protein separations

The ability to recover and purify natural and recombinant proteins, and the costs of doing so remain a major task in introducing the potential products of biotechnology. The bases for separation range from specific binding onto tailored reagents to solubility and partitioning behavior governed by a mixed bag of size, charge, and hydrophobicity. In most cases, a combination of methods is used in sequence, and improvements in the selectivity at an early stage can enhance the effectiveness of subsequent (and usually more costly) steps. Genetic engineering provides a means of improving the selectivity within the context of existing separation methods. By this strategy, improvements in selectivity are sought by bestowing a distinctive property on the protein of interest. The primary sequence of amino acids is altered, such that the protein can be selectively removed from other components of the multicomponent mixture in which such products are commonly found. In this article, the range of these “distinctive properties” and their pairing with various separation methods will be reviewed. Specific examples from our work, in which a distinctive charge is provided via a polypeptide “purification” fusion tail, will be discussed. Separation methods we have used with these fusion proteins are precipitation, two-phase aqueous extraction, reversed micellar extraction, and ion exchange using both resins and membranes.
