α径迹法用于分辨高浓铀和Pu微粒的方法研究

擦拭样品微粒分析技术是核保障环境样品分析的一种主要手段，从大量灰尘颗粒中识别并定位含高浓铀（HEU）或含Pu微粒是微粒分析首先需要解决的问题。本文以HEU和Pu微粒为研究对象，建立了用于微粒α径迹测量的样品制备方法，采用CR-39固体径迹探测器为α径迹探测器，测量了不同蚀刻时间2种微粒产生的α径迹星的径迹参数。结果表明：可通过测量径迹短轴与曲率直径并作图来分辨HEU和Pu微粒，该方法对于蚀刻时间大于10 h的微粒径迹星，均能明显分辨，对于径迹非常密集的径迹星，也能准确分辨。     

Molecular biomarkers: multiple roles in radiotherapy

Preoperative chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is becoming the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. However, individual differences in response to treatment range from a complete response to complete resistance. Predicting the tumor response to radiotherapy may improve the efficacy of radiotherapy. This review mainly summarizes recent studies about the molecular biomarkers that can predict the response to radiotherapy in rectal cancer. These studies have indicated that the molecular markers involved in the response to radiotherapy mainly include genes related to radiosensitivity, cancer stem cell-related markers, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene methylation, and other factors including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, anemia, lymphocytes, and signaling pathways. Many of these identified markers are mainly associated with DNA repair, apoptosis, and cell cycle, but some involve unknown cell mechanisms. We speculate that predictors of radiotherapy response may involve combinations of multiple molecular biomarkers that may be useful for the development of individualized therapy for rectal cancer patients.

²³⁶Pu的含量控制是钚热源的一项重要参数，通过α能谱准确测量镎靶溶解液中痕量²³⁶Pu，建立镎靶辐照靶件溶解液中钚的分离方法。根据杂质组成特点采用TBP-TEVA萃取色层双柱分离，用氨基磺酸亚铁以及亚硝酸钠对钚进行调价，对靶件溶解液中的Al、Fe、U、Th和Np等进行分离，去污系数均大于10⁴，钚的回收率为90.7%。研究大量²³⁸Pu对α能谱测定²³⁶Pu的干扰，结果表明，大量²³⁸Pu会造成仪器本底升高，²³⁸Pu能谱峰分辨率降低；在7 500 Bq ²³⁸Pu干扰下，测量4.3 h 时，²³⁶Pu的最小可检测活度为1.20×10^-2 Bq（当量质量为6.11×10^-16 g）。计算结果表明，镎靶溶解液样品中钚的同位素比值n(²³⁶Pu)/n(²³⁸Pu) ≥4.63×10^-8时，取合适的样品量使得电沉积源中²³⁸Pu 活度在 450~7 500 Bq范围内，均可测量其中的痕量²³⁶Pu，同时可准确测定同位素比值n(²³⁶Pu)/n(²³⁸Pu)。     

Synthesis and characterization of polycrystalline Mo2BC ceramic

Single-phase polycrystalline Mo₂BC ceramic bulks were synthesized successfully from molybdenum, boron, and graphite powders using the spark plasma sintering method. Herein, it was established that the synthesis temperature of the Mo₂BC ceramic could be as low as 1300 °C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization confirmed that the crystal structure of the Mo₂BC ceramic was comparable to that of the MoAlB ceramic. The Vickers hardness of the Mo₂BC ceramic was measured to be 18.1 GPa. Additionally, the compressive strength, flexural strength, and fracture toughness were determined to be 1.74 GPa, 457.72 MPa, and 3.26 MPa· m^1/2, respectively. The Mo₂BC bulk exhibited typical brittle features, in which intergranular and transgranular fractures were the main failure modes.

Recent advances during CH4 dry reforming for syngas production: A mini review

Given the continuing issues of environment and energy, methane dry reforming for syngas production have sparked interest among researchers, but struggled with the process immaturity owing to catalyst deactivation. This review summarizes the recent advances in the development of efficient and stable catalysts with strong resistance to coking and metal sintering, including the application of novel materials, the assessment of advanced characterizations and the compatibility to improved reaction system. One feasible option is the crystalline oxide catalysts (perovskite, pyrochlore, spinel and LDHs), which feature a fine metal dispersion and surface confinement effect via a metal exsolution strategy and exhibit superior reactivity and stability. Some new materials (h-BN, clays and MOFs) also extend the option because of their unique morphology and microstructure. It also is elaborated that progresses were achieved in advanced characterizations application, leading to success in the establishment of reaction mechanisms and attributions to the formed robust catalysts. In addition, the perspective described the upgrade of reaction system to a higher reaction efficiency and milder reaction conditions. The combination of efficient reaction systems and robust catalysts paves a way for a scaling-up application of the process.
