Preparation, optical properties and cell staining of water soluble amine-terminated PAMAM G 2.0-Au nanocomposites

The solution chemical and optical characteristics of formation of amine-terminated polyamidoamine dendrimer G2.0(NH₂-PAMAM G2.0)-Au nanocomposites in the aqueous solution of NH₂-PAMAM G2.0 at various mole ratios of Au(III) to NH₂-PAMAM G2.0 were studied by both UV-visible spectrometry and fluorospectrometry. The NH₂-PAMAM G2.0-Au nanocomposites, with a type of structure in which one Au nanoparticle is surrounded by several NH₂-PAMAM G2.0 dendrimers, emit strong bluish violet fluorescence, and are uniform, water soluble and biocompatible as well as very stable in frozen conditions. The size of gold nanoparticles in the nanocomposites is about 2.5 nm and decreases with the increase of NH₂-PAMAM G2.0 concentration. The NH₂-PAMAM G2. 0 plays an important role in acting as host or micro-reactor for Au(III) before Au(III) reduction and acting as dispersant and stabilizer for gold nanoparticles after Au(III) reduction. Preliminary experiments of cells staining to human embryonic lung fibroblast cell lines show that the NH₂-PAMAM G2.0-Au nanocomposites can be used as optical imaging markers for bioanalyses and medical diagnoses.     

Thermoelectric properties of p-type （Bi0.15Sb0.85）2Tes-PbTe graded thermoelectric materials with different barriers

The p-type （Bi0.15Sb0.85）2Te3 and PbTe are typical thermoelectric materials used for low and middle temperature range and functional graded materials （FGM） is an inevitable way to widen the working temperature range. Here two segments graded thermoelectric materials （GTM） consisting of （Bi0.15Sb0.85）2Te3, PbTe and different barriers were fabricated by the common hot pressure method. Metals Fe, Mg and Ni were used as barriers between the two segments. The diffusion of different barriers between the barriers and bases were analyzed by electron microprobe analysis （EMA）. The phase and crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis （XRD）. The thermoelectric properties were measured at 303 K along the direction parallel to the pressing direction. The results show that the compositional diffusion occurs when there is no barrier at the interface of the two segments, and the diffusion of Pb is most obvious; as the barrier material, the diffusion of metals Fe, Mg and Ni between different bases is not very obvious, and the thermoelectric properties of GTM is much better than that of the original segment.

Risk Concession Model for Build/Operate/Transfer Contract Projects

This paper extends the build–operate–transfer (BOT) concession model (BOTCcM) to establishing a risk concession model for BOT contract projects. The decision for a concession period is one of the most important decisions in determining a BOT contract. BOTCcM presents an alternative method to assist in determining a concession period that can protect the basic interests of both the investor and the government concerned. However, there is a major limitation in using the model, namely it gives no consideration to the impacts of risks on the estimation of various economic variables in the model. This study considers the risk impacts to the BOTCcM model and presents an additional risk concession model. This model provides an approach for formulating a concession period to consider the impacts of risks and, at the same time, protect the basic interests of both the investor and the government concerned. A hypothetical case is used to show the procedures of formulating the risk concession period through the assistance of the Monte Carlo simulation method.     

Key Constraints Analysis with Integrated Production Scheduler

Project delays due to late availabilities of resource and information (RI) prerequisites are one of the major threats to construction management. It is desirable to avoid such delays through better means of constraint management. With most contemporary planning methodologies and tools, it is generally difficult to represent many hidden flow constraints in a construction work plan. However, evaluating the impact of flow constraints is crucial in determining their criticalities, based on which the flow constraints may be prioritized and consequently resolved to minimize project delays. Due to the fact that limited resources are often shared among various trades, it may not be practical to resolve all the constraints simultaneously so that a tradeoff is inevitable, which suggests that management should focus on the most important ones termed as key constraints (i.e., those directly contributing to project delays). This paper presents a methodology that augments the traditional critical path method with RI availability constraints to analyze the causes of delays and locate the key constraints binding on project completion without ambiguity based on the principles of the theory of constraints. The methodology of key constraint analysis has been implemented with the integrated production scheduler, a constraint-based scheduling tool which facilitates the modeling, analysis, and management of constraints at the production planning level. An illustrative example is depicted to demonstrate how the proposed methodology works.     

Temperature properties of luminescence from PbFCl single crystal scintillator

The temperature dependent luminescence and thermoluminescence (TL) from PbFCl single crystal scintillator as well as its annealing effect were investigated. The experimental results show that under the X-ray excitation the luminescent intensity decreases rapidly above 170 K. The temperature dependence of luminescence meets the thermal quenching principle and the luminescence intensity at room temperature is about one fortieth of 100 K. The TL curve of PbFCl consists of a dominant band peaking at 167 K with a shoulder at about 152 K and four relatively weak bands peaking at 113, 125, 198, and 233 K. The isothermal decay curve indicates that the TL band peaking at 167 K obeys the first-order kinetic process. The trap parameters are obtained using fitting method. The annealing experiment in air shows that the oxygen contamination can quench the luminescence and increase the traps responsible for the TL bands in the range of 113-152 K.
