层状催化剂颗粒的优化设计——双组分等温平行反应体系

针对双组分等温平行反应体系,分析讨论了以提高催化剂活性和选择性为目标时催化剂活性组分的最优分布形式(为δ-函数分布),并给出了确定这种反应体系的催化剂的最佳活性层位置的计算方法。结果表明:以提高选择性为目标的最佳活性层位置比以提高活性为目标的要更靠近催化剂核心,实用的最优位置应介于二者之间。最后,本文还研究了反应动力学级数、本性选择性以及内扩散模数(Thiele 模数)等因素对最佳活性层位置的影响。     

All-optical photonic switches using integrated inverted asymmetricFabry-Perot modulators and heterojunction phototransistors

InGaAs/GaAs(100) multiple-quantum-well-based inverted cavity asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators are vertically integrated with GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction phototransistors to yield all-optical photonic switches. The photonic switches using `normally on' modulator pixels exhibit an output on-off ratio of 12:1 with internal optical gain of 4 dB. The photonic switches using `normally off' modulator pixels yield similar contrast and gain, but exhibit intrinsic bistable behavior. The inverted cavity modulators employed permit utilizing the transparency of the GaAs substrate at the operating wavelength and offer advantages for fabricating large arrays for optical signal processing     

Gate and drain currents in off-state buried-type p-channel LDDMOSFETs

The buried-type p-channel LDD MOSFETs biased at high positive gate voltage exhibit novel characteristics: (1) the ratio of the drain to gate currents is about 1×10^-3 to 5×10^-3; and (2) the gate and drain currents both are functions of only the gate voltage minus the n-well bias. Such characteristics are addressed based on the formation of the surface n ⁺ inversion layer due to the punchthrough of the buried channel to the underlying shallow p-n junction. The measured gate current is due to the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling of electrons from this inversion layer surface and the holes generated within the high-field oxide constitute the drain current. The n⁺ inversion layer surface potential is found to be equal to the n-well bias plus 0.55 V. As a result, both the oxide field and the gate and drain currents are independent of drain voltage     

Characterization of protease-catalyzed hydrolysis of cyanine-labeled angiotensin using capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection

The hydrolytic cleavage of a cyanine (Cy3)-labeled angiotensin, catalyzed by various proteases, was studied by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence detection (LIF). The end-labeled peptides and the Cy3 diacid internal standard were separated on a 20-microns x 27-cm capillary with LIF detection (emission, 580 nm) using a frequency-doubled solid-state diode laser emitting at 532 nm or a He-Ne laser emitting at 543 nm. Hydrolysis of the Cy3-labeled angiotensin I, catalyzed by proteinase K, is a sequential process beginning from the C-terminal of the peptide, instead of from random cleavages. Trypsin catalyzes a specific cleavage of Cy3-angiotensin I to Cy3-Asp-Arg as anticipated. Using a combination of endopeptidase and carboxypeptidases, the remnant of the labeled species was characterized by CE-LIF. The method provides a general tool for studying the mechanism of protease-catalyzed hydrolysis of peptide.     

Generating weighted fuzzy rules from relational database systems for estimating values using genetic algorithms

In recent years, some methods have been proposed to estimate values in relational database systems. However, the estimated accuracy of the existing methods are not good enough. In this paper, we present a new method to generate weighted fuzzy rules from relational database systems for estimating values using genetic algorithms (GAs), where the attributes appearing in the antecedent part of generated fuzzy rules have different weights. After a predefined number of evolutions of the GA, the best chromosome contains the optimal weights of the attributes, and they can be translated into a set of rules to be used for estimating values. The proposed method can get a higher average estimated accuracy rate than the methods we presented in two previous papers.     

Laboratory aid and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of appendicitis in children

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the number of yolk sacs and amnionicity in monochorionic twin pregnancies scanned early in the first trimester. We retrospectively reviewed images of all monochorionic twins scanned between 6 and 9.5 weeks' gestation and with pathologic or sonographic confirmation of chorionicity-amnionicity. Each film was reviewed for the number of yolk sacs present, as well as for the gestational age at which the amniotic membrane was first visualized. Twenty monochorionic-diamniotic pregnancies and two monochorionic-monoamniotic pregnancies met the criteria for inclusion in the study. In diamniotic pregnancies scanned at less than 8 weeks' gestation, only the yolk sacs were identified; none of the dividing amniotic membranes were detected. Two yolk sacs were identified in all but one case. In this case, although one yolk sac was seen at 6 weeks, follow-up scanning at 8 weeks revealed two yolk sacs. In each of the monochorionic-monoamniotic twin pregnancies, one yolk sac was seen at 9 weeks and a single amnion encircled both embryos. We conclude that the sonographic identification of two yolk scas in monochorionic twins enables us to make the diagnosis of diamniotic twins early in the first trimester, before the amniotic membrane can be imaged. The presence of one yolk sac should prompt a follow-up ultrasonogram to assign amnionicity definitively.     

Temperature dependence of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors

The temperature dependence characteristics of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors were investigated. The results indicate that as the temperature was increased, the threshold voltage and the field-effect mobility were first increased, and then decreased, which may be controlled by different mechanisms at low and high temperatures. In addition, if the temperature was higher than 420 K, the Fermi level was promoted to the degenerate-like states, the current channel always existed due to the temperature effect, and the threshold voltage became negative.
