Five channel WDM soliton pulse generation using sinusoidally drivenelectroabsorption modulators in 16×1 laser/modulator array

Five wavelength multiplexed pulse streams are generated in an integrated 16×1 laser modulator array by sinusoidally driving five of the potential 16 electroabsorption modulators. At a repetition rate of 2.5 GHz, near transform-limited pulses spaced in wavelength over 7.6 nm are observed. Pseudorandom coding of one channel is achieved by applying an electrical RZ data signal to the modulator     

Detection of severity of coronary stenosis by quantitative myocardial tomography with Tc-99m-MIBI at rest

To evaluate the role of myocardial tomography with Tc-99m-MIBI (MB) in detecting abnormal coronary arteries, 34 patients with myocardial infarction underwent resting quantitative SPEC with MB and coronary arteriography within one month. When segmental MB uptake was < 560% of the left ventricular peak activity, there was 88% probability that a totally occluded or severely stenosed coronary artery (stenosis > 90%) was involved. There was 82% probability of finding no significant stenosis of coronary arteries in the normal myocardial segments. In the myocardial segments supplied by occluded coronary arteries, there was significantly higher MB uptake in the segments with good collateral circulation as compared with those subtended by a vessel totally occluded with poor collateral circulation (P < 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of detecting abnormal coronary artery by quantitative analysis of myocardial tomography was 87% and 90% respectively. It is suggested that quantitative analysis of myocardial tomography with MB can differentiate between myocardial segments supplied by severely stenosed and normal coronary artery and evaluate the existence of collateral circulation.     

电脉冲快速退火对铁基非晶合金性能的影响

采用大电流交流脉冲对非晶Ｆｅ７８Ｂ１３Ｓｉ９合金进行了去应力退火。初步探讨了电脉冲加热对加热速率和该合金内应力释放、退火脆化以及最终软磁性影响的基本规律。结果表明：电脉冲加热可以得到远高于常规退火的加热速率，选择合适工艺参数可使非晶合金内应力释放９０％，软磁性（Ｈ＿ｃ和Ｂ＿ｓ）达常规退火后的９５％以上，与此同时使合金的延性（断裂应变ε＿ｆ）维持在０．９以上，从而有望实现非晶合金磁性与延性的合理配合。

Association of herpes zoster ophthalmicus with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and acute retinal necrosis

We conducted a review to investigate the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), in patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus, as well as the incidence of acute retinal necrosis after herpes zoster ophthalmicus. All charts of patients seen at our institution between 1987 and 1992 with a primary diagnosis of herpes zoster ophthalmicus were reviewed. Of 112 patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus, 29 (26%) had HIV or AIDS. All these patients were younger than 50 years at the time of diagnosis. Five of 29 (17%) immunocompromised patients had acute retinal necrosis after herpes zoster ophthalmicus. No acute retinal necrosis was identified in the nonimmunocompromised patients after herpes zoster ophthalmicus. We recommend that all patients younger than 50 years who have herpes zoster ophthalmicus at initial examination be tested for HIV. Additionally, HIV-infected patients should be monitored closely after herpes zoster ophthalmicus for development of acute retinal necrosis. Long-term oral prophylactic as well as initial high-dose intravenous acyclovir may be appropriate in HIV-infected individuals with herpes zoster.     

SiCf/O′-SiAlON composite: properties and oxidation retained properties

A composite of O′SiAlON (Si_2-xAl_xN_2-xO_1+x, with x 0.14) reinforced with 20 vol.% SiC monofilaments was fabricated by hot-pressing, at 1600°C, for 2 h under 34 MPa pressure. The mechanical and interfacial properties of the composites, as-fabricated as well as post-oxidized, were, investigated. The composite exhibited a significant improvement in ultimate flexure strength (640 MPa) and work of fracture (42 kJ m⁻²) compared with that (350 MPa and 1.8 kJ m⁻², respectively) of the monolithic material. These mechanical properties were slightly increased after the composite was heat treated for 24 h in air at 1200 and 1300°C. However, the composite exhibited a significant degradation in ultimate strength, while the work of fracture (WOF) remained unchanged after exposure in air at temperatures beyond 1400°C. The as-fabricated composite revealed a low interfacial shear strength (6.2 MPa) and a frictional sliding stress (3.2 MPa). After the composite was oxidized at elevated temperatures, the interfacial bonding and sliding stresses were reduced to noticeable extents, resulting from the degradation of the carbon coating layer of the SiC monofilaments.
