Optimal Locations of Groundwater Extractions in Coastal Aquifers

A regional water supply management model for coastal aquifers was developed. One of its outcomes is the definition of the optimized locations for groundwater withdrawal. Such a tool permits the analysis of alternative plans for groundwater extraction and the sustainable use of water resources in a coastal aquifer subject to saltwater intrusion. The principal components are the evolutionary optimization and the analytical/numerical simulation models. The optimization technique looks for the best well locations taking into consideration the economic results and the satisfaction of the societal water demand. However these two concerns are conditioned by trying to control the saltwater intrusion, i.e., preserving the environmental equilibrium. The simulation model uses the governing mathematical equations for groundwater movement to find the interface between freshwater and saltwater. Because of the non-linearity in the system and the possibility of a jumping interface, a security distance was defined. This is a controlling variable which can be set by the decision makers. The model was applied to a typical case with interesting results. For example, diagrams showing the relationship between the location of the wells and the security distance(s) are of importance to the managers. It was also crucial to have an understanding of the tradeoffs between groundwater withdrawals, positions of the wells from the coast line, and the security distance. The model was also applied to a real case in order to relate the extractions, distances and artificial recharge (not presented in this paper).     

Densitometry determination of dioxins using gold nanoparticlemodified dioxin response element probes

This study aims to develop a rapid and sensitive densitometry bioassay of dioxins. It is known that dioxin ligand can bind heterodimeric aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and trigger the formation of the complex of dioxin-AhR, AhR nuclear translocator (Arnt), and dioxin-responsive element (DRE). We have established a rapid and sensitive method using nanoparticle-modified DRE probes based on dioxin-dependent binding of DRE to AhR complex. Dioxins can trigger the binding of nanoparticle-modified DRE probe to AhR complex. The nanoparticle-modified DRE probes in the dioxin-AhR-Arnt-DRE complexes immobilized on the microplates were detected by measuring optical density after silver enhancement. Results showed that as little as 0.01 pM of TCDD could be detected. Dioxins could be quantified accurately with the linear range from 1 nM to 0.01 pM. The coefficient of variation was 5≈8% in this bioassay. The optical density of nanoparticle-based silver enhancement was produced in a dose- and time- dependent manner. The dioxin concentrations in fly ash samples determined by this bioassay were comparable with that by the standard HRGC/HRMS. Thus this bioassay is a sensitive and convenient cell-free bioassay of dioxin that is suitable for screening of dioxins in environmental or food matrices.     

Performance evaluation of dynamically linearized and kinematically redundant planar manipulators

The objective of this research is to investigate the feasibility of a theoretical development which could lead to advanced manipulator concepts offering fast dynamic and control features. Specifically, the application of “dynamic linearization” to a kinematically redundant planar manipulator is studied. In comparing such a manipulator with a standard non-linear, non-redundant design it is shown that in addition to the expected merits in linearity, dexterity, and computational simplicity, savings in actuator energy consumption can also be realized using a relative simple trajectory optimization scheme.

利用电阻场板提高SOI-LIGBT的性能

通过在SOI-LIGBT中引入电阻场板和一个p-MOSFET结构,IGBT的性能得以大幅提高.p-MOSFET的栅信号由电阻场板分压得到.在IGBT关断过程中,p-MOSFET将被开启,作为阳极短路结构起作用,从而使漂移区的过剩载流子迅速消失,IGBT快速关断.而且由于电场受到电阻场板的影响,使得过剩载流子能沿着一个更宽的通道流过漂移区,几乎消去了普通SOI-LIGBT由于衬偏造成的关断的第二阶段.这两个因素使得新结构的关断时间大大减少.在IGBT的开启状态,由于p-MOSFET不导通,因此器件的开启特性几乎与普通器件一致.模拟结果表明,新结构至少能增加25%的耐压,减少65%的关断时间.     

Low-loss high power RF switching using multifinger AlGaN/GaN MOSHFETs

We demonstrate a novel RF switch based on a multifinger AlGaN/GaN MOSHFET. Record high saturation current and breakdown voltage, extremely low gate leakage current and low gate capacitance of the III-N MOSHFETs make them excellent active elements for RF switching. Using a single element test circuit with 1-mm wide multifinger MOSHFET we achieved 0.27 dB insertion loss and more than 40 dB isolation. These parameters can be further improved by impedance matching and by using submicron gate devices. The maximum switching power extrapolated from the results for 1A/mm 100 /spl mu/m wide device exceeds 40 W for a 1-mm wide 2-A/mm MOSHFET.
