金属及合金中射程参数的研究SCIEI

本文应用金属中Wigner-Sietz(W-S)半径数据和引入等效电荷概念,结合Ziegler的质子注入数据,导出了计算重离子注入各种金属中的电子阻止本领S_c(E)的公式,计算结果与文献中的实测值结果甚为一致。同样,应用合金中的W-S半径,导出了适用于合金硼化物和CsCl型合金的S_c(E)计算公式。计算结果表明,公式对单硼或二硼化合物符合得较好,而对一些复杂结构的合金以及Cr_5B_3和W_2B_5是不适合的。对CsCl型合金,S_c(E)对Bragg定律的偏离系数γ和合金中电荷转移量成正比,后者越大表明金属键越强,则合金对离子的阻止本领越大,这与实验结果是吻合的。合金中两元素在同一周期中位置相差越远,这种趋势越明显。不同周期元素组成的合金更加强了这种趋势。     

Observation of 3‐D Structure of Bubbles in a Fluidized Catalyst Bed

The interface area between the bubble and emulsion phases in a fluidized catalyst bed is one of the important parameters used to analyze and design the fluidized bed reactor. We used a fast‐scanning X‐ray CT system to observe the bubble shape and structure. We then obtained the transient 2‐dimensional cross sectional gas‐phase distribution in a fluidized catalyst bed. Using image‐processing techniques, pseudo 3‐dimensional images of the bubbles were reconstructed. The bubble structure was studied based on the 3‐dimensional images and the previously obtained results in a 2‐dimensional fluidized bed. It was found that the bubble shape was not spherical but complicated, and that the bubbles ascending in a fluidized catalyst bed consisted of some smaller bubbles.     

氢等离子体作用下的Zr薄膜氢化特性研究

本文研究Zr薄膜在等离子体作用下的氢化特性，测试表明，与分子氢相比，氢等离子体作用下氢化速率明显增高，在室温和≈2Pa氢压的DC放电条件下，氧化10min样品的氢化浓度可达饱和值，即66.67（原子分数，%），远大于该压强下的气体氢化浓度，在非超清洁系统中，等离子体氢化在样品表面产生大量的氧污染和少量的碳污染，少量的表面氧化物并不阻碍等离子体氢化，但随着污染的增加，氢化浓度却大大减少，Ni对样品表面氢分子解离吸附和氢原子再结合逸出有着不同程度的催化作用，在低的放电压强和放电电流下，表面镀Ni使Zr的稳态氢化浓度减小，而在高压强、低电流下，表面镀Ni可增加Zr的氢化效率。

Fractional wavelet transform for the quantitative spectral resolution of the composite signals of the active compounds in a two-component mixture

Fractional calculus is a powerful tool that has been applied successfully for the analysis of the complex systems. One interesting example of a complex mixture is given by the multicomponent pharmaceutical samples having constant matrix content. The main aim of this study is to develop a new approach based on the combined use of the fractional wavelet transform (FWT) and the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) in order to quantify atorvastatin (ATO) and amlodipine (AML) in their mixtures without requiring a chemical pretreatment. In the first step, the absorption spectra of the compounds and their samples were processed by the FWT method. In the next step, the CWT approach was applied to the fractional wavelet spectra obtained in the above step. The aim of the application of FWT is data reduction corresponding to the spectra of compounds and their commercial samples. In the following step, the CWT was used for the quantitative resolution of the composite signals of the analyzed compounds. After method validation, the proposed signal processing methods based on the combined use of the FWT and the CWT were successfully applied to the resolution of the composite spectra for the quantitation of atorvastatin (ATO) and amlodipine (AML) in tablets.     

InSAR validation based on GNSS measurements in Bucharest

This research aims to complex validate radar displacement products over Bucharest based on Global Navigation Satellite System or GNSS. Validation was represented by the comparison of the recent TerraSAR-X (TSX) displacement results with field GNSS data. For this purpose, 24 and 27 high-resolution images acquired from the TSX satellite between 2011 and 2014 were processed by Permanent Scatterer Inteferometry (PSI) and Small BASeline Subset (SBAS) – interferometric techniques using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The images were selected from a larger pool of SAR images, after consulting weather databases, which helped eliminate the images acquired under adverse weather conditions. GNSS locations were cross-checked on high-resolution optical images and 21 ground points (including three permanent stations) were selected. All these points were (1) characterized by high coherence on radar images; (2) were on the ground; (3) were situated in large vacant spaces; and (4) far away from radar obstacles such as trees. A major challenge in achieving the research goal was to overcome the lack of permanent stations at the ground level within the area of Bucharest. Instead of permanent stations, our team designed and installed forced centring systems that remained stable over time, eliminating the instalment errors of GNSS receivers. The line-of-site (LOS) components derived from GNSS data have been compared with those of the SAR scatterers closest to the GNSS markers (never coinciding). For each location, the vertical reading was projected in the LOS of the SAR sensor. These readings were compared with the displacement values determined at the locations of permanent scatterers (PSs) within 100 m from the GNSS nodes, by eliminating all scatterers on buildings. The comparison has shown a good agreement.
