硅基氧化锌薄膜中的发光和复合中心

报道了用MOCVD方法制备的硅基ZnO薄膜中的中性施主-价带D0h发光.ZnO/p-Si结构经空气中700 ℃退火1h,然后进行X射线衍射(XRD)、光致发光(PL)谱和I-V特性测量.实验得到不同载气流量制备的样品都具有整流特性.深能级瞬态谱(DLTS)测量探测到各样品中存在两个施主深能级E1和E2.相应的室温PL谱测量显示样品近带边发射包含不同的发光线.利用高斯拟合方法,样品S2a的PL谱分解为三条发光线b,c和d,其中发光线b可归结为ZnO中的激子发射;DLTS测量得到的施主能级E1与发光线c和d的局域态电离能Ed相关,为D0h中心.此外,实验揭示E2能级的相对隙态密度与PL谱的发光强度成反比,表明深能级E2具有复合中心性质.     

Do males and females think in the same way? An empirical investigation on the gender differences in Web advertising evaluation

Informativeness and entertainment are regarded as two types of advertising value that can influence consumers’ attitudes toward Web advertising. Despite of many studies on these two factors, there are two research gaps in extant literature. First, the effects of informativeness and entertainment on attitude are considered separately, yet their interaction effect is neglected. Second, the role of individual characteristics (e.g., gender) in the advertising evaluation process is far from clear. To address these two issues, a laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the interaction effect between informativeness and entertainment, and also the moderating role of gender. The results indicate that informativeness can help form a more positive attitude for males than for females, and entertainment can lead to a more positive attitude for females than for males. It is also found that there is a three-way interaction among informativeness, entertainment, and gender. More specifically, the interaction effect between informativeness and entertainment is significant for females, but insignificant for males. Results, research contributions, and limitations are discussed, and implications for future studies are suggested.     

Expression of foreign gene in mycobacterium regulated by human Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 70 promoter

PURPOSE: Phagocytosis is a major mechanism of defense against bacterial infections. The ingestion of bacteria by phagocytes involves a variety of cell membrane recognition structures and, among them, immunoglobulin receptors. The aim of this study was to test the phagocytic activity of granulocytes and monocytes of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and to evaluate the effects of intravenous polyvalent immunoglobulins (IVIG) used as adjunct treatment of nosocomial pneumonia on some phagocyte membrane receptors of these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The phagocytic activity of granulocytes and monocytes of 41 mechanically ventilated patients with nosocomial bacterial pneumonia was studied during the acute phase of infection. These ICU patients were compared with 21 hospitalized, noninfected volunteer patients hospitalized in a medical ward. Peripheral blood granulocytes and monocytes were studied. Of the 41 ICU patients, after randomization, 21 received IVIG at a dose of 1 g/kg for 3 days. The 41 ICU patients were compared with the 21 non-ICU, noninfected hospitalized controls. The 21 ICU patients who received 3 days of IVIG were also compared with the 20 ICU patients not receiving IVIG. Cells were tested in standard immunoglobulin-free medium (fetal calf serum) and in the presence of patients' serum. Blood granulocytes and monocytes were purified and separately exposed to three types of particles: antibody-coated erythrocytes (to test immunoglobulin receptors), opsonized zymosan (to test C3 receptors), and glutaraldehyde-treated erythrocytes (to test lectinlike or other nonspecific binding sites). Phagocytosis and superoxide anion production (oxidative burst) were measured. RESULTS: Granulocytes of ICU patients compared with those of non-ICU, noninfected patients exhibited a substantial decrease of zymosan ingestion (P < .05), whereas phagocytosis of other particles was normal. Monocytes from the ICU patients, compared with those of the non-ICU, noninfected patients, displayed an unselective overall decrease of phagocytic ability for the three particle types (P < .05). The phagocytosis activity of the three membrane receptor species of blood monocytes and granulocytes of ICU patients was not significantly modified by the IVIG infusion. For both monocytes and granulocytes, no significant improvement was observed in the fraction of cells that ingested at least one foreign particle and the mean number of particles per cell having phagocytized at least one foreign particle. Granulocyte and monocyte functions were also tested by the production of reduced ferricytochrome and no significant improvement in the oxidative burst was observed after infusion of IVIG. CONCLUSION: Infected ICU patients display a deficiency of phagocytosis membrane receptors of blood granulocytes and monocytes. The addition of IVIG to standard therapy does not improve the phagocytic activity of ICU patients with nosocomial pneumonia.     

正交解调接收机幅相不平衡对双频测距的影响

采用正交解调接收机来获得I、Q信号时,接收机两个通道间不可避免地会存在一定的幅相误差。本文首先对存在幅相误差时双频测距的基本原理进行了理论分析,并与无幅相误差时进行了比较,得出了几个有用的结论,为双频连续波测距雷达的设计提供了一定的理论依据。最后通过仿真验证了理论分析的正确性。

The Zn-Rich Corner of the Zn-Fe-V-Sb Quaternary Systems at 450 and 600 °C

In this paper, the isothermal sections of the Zn-Fe-V-Sb quaternary system at 450 and 600 °C with Zn fixed at 93 at.% have been determined experimentally by means of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Four four-phase regions and three four-phase regions have been inferred from experimental data in the isothermal section at 450 and 600 °C, respectively. Furthermore, no new ternary and quaternary compounds have been found at those two temperatures.
