Experimental Study of Porous Gel Sintering

Formation and disappearance of closed pores in silica gel during sintering were experimentally detected using a light-scattering technique. The disappearance of closed pores is strongly influenced by the atmosphere in which the gel is sintered.     

基于累积损伤理论的土石坝地震永久变形分析

以龙冈的在不规则荷载作用下土体应变的累积损伤理论为基础,提出了基于累积损伤理论的土石坝地震永久变形分析方法。采用大型静力和动力三轴仪,对某土石坝筑坝材料的静动变形特性进行了试验研究,确定了筑坝材料的静力和动力应力应变关系、累积应变模型和相应的材料参数。利用该方法,分别对在日本2008年6月14日岩手—宫城内陆M7.2级地震作用下该土石坝的在建坝体和竣工后坝体的地震永久变形特性进行了研究。结果表明：在建坝体的坝内沉降计算值与现场实测值基本吻合,并且通过与其它土石坝实测值的比较,说明竣工后坝体的坝顶沉降预测值在合理范围之内。     

Scanning transmission ion microscopy on Fudan SPM facility

In this paper,we report a novel measurement system based on the development of Fudan Scanning Proton Microscopy(SPM) facility.By using Si-PIN diode(Hamamatsu S1223-01) detector,scanning transmission ion microscopy(STIM) measurement system has been set up.It can provide density and structural images with high probing efficiency and non-destruction by utilizing the energy loss of high energy(MeV) and focused ions penetrating through a thin sample.STIM measurement is able to map the density distribution of organic elements which mostly compose biology materials,such information can not be detected by using conventional Be-windowed Si(Li) X-ray detector in Particle Induced X-ray Emission(PIXE) technique.The spatial resolution capability of STIM is higher than PIXE technique at same accelerator status.As a result of STIM measurement,Paramecium attached on the top of Kapton tube was measured by STIM.     

High-pressure synthesis of diamond from phenolic resin

Two kinds of phenolic resin, novolak and resols, have been studied with an addition of cobalt at pressures between 2 and 4 GPa and at temperatures from 1300 to 1900 °C, all under thermodynamically graphite-stable conditions. Diamond was synthesized from these resins which had been pre-fired at 500–1000 °C. From such resins, carbon precursors carrying a great number of radicals, being nearly free of hydrogen and oxygen, and turbostratic in structure, can be constructed. The pressure–temperature conditions suitable for the diamond synthesis were dependent on the pre-firing temperatures. The cobalt served as a catalyst–solvent, similar to the case of conventional diamond synthesis from graphite under diamond-stable conditions. Well-defined single crystals cubo-octahedral in shape, measuring 0.3–0.7 mm across and classified as type Ib were obtained. This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

ANTIOXIDATIVE ACTIVITY OF GREEN TEA POLYPHENOLS IN EDIBLE OILS

The antioxidant activity of green tea polyphenols in several edible oils and fried noodle was investigated. The green tea polyphenols consisted of 27.1% (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, 19.3% (+)-gallocatechin, 16.7% (−)-gallocatechin-3-gallate, 16.1% (−)-epigallocatechin, 8.1% (−)-epicatechin-3-gallate, 7.5% (−)-epicatechin, and 5.2% (+)-catechin. The antioxidant effect of green tea polyphenols in lard and soybean oil was dose-dependent, but tocopherol was less effective. Compared to BHA and tocopherol, green tea polyphenols showed a stronger antioxidative activity on fish oil. Noodles were fried in lard containing green tea polyphenols at several concentrations. The oxidative stability of the noodle was proportional to the green tea polyphenol concentration in lard.     

日本水权体制中的水资源配置及管理

在日本,用水单位可自由使用取水设施,干旱季节水资源的合理配置就成为一个突出的问题.目前,日本的干旱季节会有多种用水分配分式.对于KOKAI河流域的水资源分配,水的配给制度沿用了传统的方式,即地形条件占有决定性的地位,没有特殊的手段去控制水资源的公平配置.而对于YAHAGI河流域的水资源分配,各用水单位建立了一个非政府的水资源配置委员会.尽管灌溉部门掌握用水优先权,但是在严重干旱期农民会将水资源转让给供水部门.     

SOLVENT EXTRACTION OF SOME TERVALENT LANTHANOIDS WITH 4-ACYL-3-PHENYL-5-ISOXAZOLONES

ABSTRACT

The solvent extraction of some tervalent lanthanoid ions (Ln³⁺) with five 4-acyl-3-phenyl-5-isoxazolones (AcyPI or HL),i.e. 4-acetyl-, 4-benzoyl-, 4- (4-toluoyl)-, 4- (4-fluorobenzoyl) - and 4-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-3-phenyl-5-isoxazolones (API,BPI, TPI, FBPI and NBPI respectively) into benzene was studied in the presence of tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP). The extracted species were (Ln³⁺) (L^-)₃ (TBP)₂ for AcyPI.     

Chemical Composition Control of Non-Metallic Inclusions in High Alloy Steel Production Process

There is a close relation between the characteristics of products and the chemical composition control of inclusions in steelmaking process. Therefore, it is very important for a warranty of product’s characteristics to improve inclusion quality resulting in defective products. In the present work, the control technique of inclusions’ chemical composition is discussed thermodynamically based on the Redlich-Kister type polynomial to metallic solution and regular solution model to molten oxide solution. It is very effective for the precise chemical composition control of oxides to determine the concentration of deoxidizers based on the thermodynamic relation among dissolved deoxidizers and oxygen, because it is known that oxide inclusions are equilibrated with them in molten steel in the steel making process. High alloy steel production process was focused in the present work.
