Synthesis and characterization of a new water-soluble endohedral metallofullerene for MRI contrast agents

Water-soluble amino acid derivatives of gadolinium (Gd) endohedral metallofullerenes (AAD-EMFs), Gd@C₈₂O_m(OH)_n(NHCH₂CH₂COOH)_l (m ≈ 6, n ≈ 16 and l ≈ 8) are synthesized by a direct reaction of the pure endohedral metallofullerene Gd@C₈₂ with an excess of alkaline solution of β-alanine. The structure of the AAD-EMFs is characterized by FTIR, XPS and laser-desorption time-of-flight (LD-TOF) mass spectrometries. Water proton relaxivity analysis indicates that the longitudinal relaxivity R₁ (the effect on 1/T₁, 9.1 mM⁻¹ s⁻¹) of AAD-EMFs is higher than that of the commercial MRI contrast agent, Magnevist (gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, Gd-DTPA, 5.6 mM⁻¹ s⁻¹). The MRI phantom studies are performed to confirm the high efficiency of this sample as MRI contrast agents.     

MODIS数据Bowtie效应消除算法

MODIS数据不仅具有较高的过境频率和光谱分辨率,还具有成本低、覆盖面广等优势。受地球曲率的影响,MODIS L1B数据大多存在一种重叠效应,即Bowtie效应,主要发生在图像的边缘地带,该效应制约了MODIS遥感数据的进一步分析及应用。针对遥感影像几何畸变问题,提出一种不基于传统星历表的Bowtie效应消除算法,采用相关系数法确定每个扫描带的重复行数,根据不同分辨率的MODIS L1B数据,使用相对应的重采样方法对图像进行重采样处理。通过与其他Bowtie效应消除算法的对比实验及分析,证明该算法不仅能够有效去除Bowtie效应,而且执行速度较快,具有较高的工程应用价值。     

Extraction of 2-hydroxyphenol by surfactant coated nanosized magnetic particles

A colloidal suspension of magnetic particles coated with double layer surfactant molecules was prepared, characterized and used for separation of some chemicals. The aqueous magnetic fluid was prepared by chemical precipitation method and characterized by total organic carbon analyzer (TOC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TOC and TGA measurements indicate that the prepared magnetic particles are coated with surfactant molecules in double layers. The outer surfactant layer has free polar heads. TEM measurement results show that magnetic particles are nanosized. A mixture of 2-hydroxyphenol (strong polar) and 2-nitrophenol (weak polar) was chosen as the target system. Results show that the magnetic fluid can selectively adsorb 2-hydroxyphenol from the mixture, whereas the adsorption of 2-nitrophenol is insignificant. For 2-hydroxyphenol, the adsorption equilibrium can be described well by Langmuir isotherm, and the adsorption kinetic can be fitted well by a linear driving force mass transfer model.

Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate on magnetite nanoparticles

The synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles coated with a well-defined graft polymer is reported. The magnetite nanoparticles with an initiator group for copper-mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), 2-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl) ethyltrichlorosilane (CTCS) chemically bound on their surfaces were prepared by the self-assembled monolayer-deposition method. The surface-initiated ATRP of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was carried out with the CTCS-coated magnetite nanoparticles in the presence of free (sacrificing) initiator, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride. Polymerization proceeded in a living fashion, exhibiting first-order kinetics of monomer consumption and a proportional relationship between molecular weight of the graft polymer and monomer conversion, thus providing well-defined, low-polydispersity graft polymers with an approximate graft density of 0.7 chains/nm². The molecular weight and polydispersity of the graft polymer were nearly equal to those of the free polymer produced in the solution, meaning that the free polymer is a good measure of the characteristics of the graft polymer. The graft polymer possessed exceptionally high stability and remarkably improved dispersibility of the magnetite nanoparticles in organic solvent.

石油勘探电磁层析成像在复杂岩层的应用仿真

对石油岩层进行勘探时,是通过电磁波形成稳定图像,对石油岩层进行勘探.由于石油区域的岩层结构密集和稀松部分分布不均匀,电磁层析成像在分布不均匀的岩石结构中,电磁波回波过程发生不定衰减,导致电磁析图像发生局部变异.传统的石油勘探电磁层析成像技术在图像局部变异下,会严重影响后期的成像效果,成像信息失真明显.提出采用加权小波分析的石油勘探中电磁层析成像复杂结构声波过滤方法.用非线性方程描述所有的石油勘探中电磁层析成像结构声波,选取一组成像信号作为样本数据,计算成像信号的权重,获取所有成像信号在声波过滤过程中的重要程度.针对上述结果进行小波变换处理,完成成像信号的分解,将所有的因子进行重构,实现声波过滤.实验结果表明,利用改进算法进行石油勘探中电磁层析成像复杂结构声波过滤,能够极大的提高过滤准确性,得到清晰的成像信号.     

THE EFFECT OF A MAGNETIC FIELD ON NATURAL CONVECTION IN A SHALLOW CAVITY HEATED FROM BELOW

A numerical study is presented for magnetohydrodynamic free convection of an electrically conducting fluid in a shallow cavity heated from below and cooled from above. The side walls are maintained adiabatic. A uniform magnetic field, inclined with an angle 0 with respect to the horizontal plane, is externally imposed. The investigation covers the range of the Rayleigh number, Ra, from 1.8 × 10₃ to 3 x 10₄the Hartmann number, Ha, from 0 to 35, the Prandtl number, Pr, from 0.005 to 1 and aspect ratio of the cavity, A = 6. The effect of the magnetic field on the flow structure is presented. For supercritical convection it is found that, upon increasing Ha, the number of roll cells in the cavity increases when it is perpendicular to it. The imposition of an inclined magnetic field gives rise to new flow patterns with tilted lateral cell walls. The effect of both strength and orientation of the magnetic field on the overall heat transfer is found to be significant.
