Numerical Analysis of Theoretical Model of the Rf MEMs Switches

An improved electromechanical model of the RF MEMS (radio frequency microelectromechanical systems) switches is introduced, in which the effects of intrinsic residual stress from fabrication processes, axial stress due to stretching of beam, and fringing field are taken into account. Four dimensionless numbers are derived from the governing equation of the developed model. A semi-analytical method is developed to calculate the behavior of the RF MEMS switches. Subsequently the influence of the material and geometry parameters on the behavior of the structure is analyzed and compared, and the corresponding analysis with the dimensionless numbers is conducted too. The quantitative relationship between the presented parameters and the critical pull-in voltage is obtained, and the relative importance of those parameters is given.

Experimental study on oscillatory thermocapillary convection

The transition processes from steady flow into oscillatory flow in a liquid bridge of the half floating zone are studied experimentally. Two methods of noncontacted diagnoses are developed to measure the distribution of critical Marangoni numbers described by the onset of the oscillation st the free surface of the liquid bridge.The experimental results obtained for both cases of the upper rod heated and the lower rod heated agree with the prediction by Rayleigh's instability theory.The sensitive relations between the relatively fat or slender liquid bridge and the onset of oscillatory convection are also discussed to reveal the insight of the pressure distribution near the free surface. The experiments have been performed in a small liquid bridge, where the Bond number is much smaller than 1, and the results can be used to simulate the experiment in the microgravity environment.

阐述了用光学薄膜进行色散补偿的基本原理，介绍了设计的基本过程．根据Ti：Sapphire飞秒激光器中腔内色散补偿的要求，设定了色散补偿目标，通过计算机优化，得到了一种40层的Ta2O5／SiO2介质膜系．该膜系能在720～870am范围获得大于99．5％的反射率，在510～550nm获得大于90％的透射率，在740～850nm提供较平滑的-40fs^2的群延迟色散．这样的结果经过7次反射后，可以补偿5-mm Ti：sapphire晶体产生的绝大部分群延迟色散。

青蒿素生物合成相关基因的功能分析及遗传转化研究

从中国传统药用植物青蒿（Artemisia annua L.）中提取的青蒿素及其半合成衍生物如蒿甲醚等是一类新型的抗疟特效药，特别是对抗氯喹的恶性疟疾和脑型疟疾有很好的疗效。由于青蒿素在植物中的含量极低，使得其价格很高，特别是对于亚非拉等第三世界国家来说。因此如何提高青蒿素的产量成为近年来研究的热点。各种传统的育种、生理生化手段和细胞培养技术均未取得较好的结果，因此，利用植物基因工程技术提高青蒿素产量已成为研究的重点之一。 本论文围绕青蒿素的生物合成途径开展了以下的工作： 一、中药青蒿紫穗槐二烯合酶的大肠杆菌表达、纯化与功能鉴定 利用RT-PCR方法，从中药青蒿高产株系001中克隆到的中药青蒿紫穗槐二烯合酶(ADS) cDNA, 其推测编码蛋白与前人报道的有两个位点的突变。将其开放阅读框插入到原核表达载体pET30a(+)的BamHⅠ和XhoⅠ酶切位点之间，构建N端携带有HIS6表达标签的紫穗槐二烯合酶重组表达载体pETADS。将pETADS转入大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)， IPTG (Isopropyl-beta -D-thiogalactoside)诱导重组紫穗槐二烯合酶的表达。表达产物经镍琼脂糖柱纯化。纯化蛋白加入酶促反应体系（含FPP），GC-MS分析酶促反应体系的正己烷萃取物，结果显示重组紫穗槐二烯合酶可以催化FPP向紫穗槐二烯的转化。体外酶促动力学分析表明，两个位点的氨基酸突变，并没有影响到青蒿紫穗槐二烯合酶的催化活性。基因组DNA杂交表明，紫穗槐二烯合酶基因在001株系基因组中至少有4个拷贝。 二、中药青蒿鲨烯合酶的大肠杆菌表达、纯化与功能鉴定 将经RACE方法克隆到的中药青蒿鲨烯合酶cDNA(AF302464) 开放阅读框的3'末端截短99 bp，插入到原核表达载体pET30a(+)的NcoⅠ和BamHⅠ酶切位点之间，构建N端和C端均携带有HIS6表达标签的鲨烯合酶重组表达载体pETSSA。将pETSSA转入大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)， IPTG (Isopropyl-beta-D-thio galactoside)诱导重组鲨烯合酶的表达。表达产物经镍琼脂糖柱纯化。纯化蛋白加入酶促反应体系（含FPP和NADPH），GC-MS分析酶促反应体系的正己烷萃取物，结果显示重组鲨烯合酶可以催化FPP向鲨烯的转化。青蒿鲨烯合酶的功能鉴定，为进一步利用反义或RNAi技术限制甾类生物合成，从而提高青蒿中的青蒿素含量提供了基础。 三、中药青蒿法呢醇合酶原核表达、纯化与功能鉴定 将经RACE方法克隆到的中药青蒿倍半萜合酶cDNA ( AF304444) 开放阅读框插入到原核表达载体pET30a(+)的NcoⅠ和BamHⅠ酶切位点之间，构建N端和C端均携带有HIS6表达标签的重组表达载体pET30SESQ。将pET30SESQ转入大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)， IPTG (Isopropyl-beta-D-thioga lactoside)诱导蛋白表达，表达产物经镍琼脂糖柱纯化。纯化蛋白加入酶促反应体系（FPP），GC-MS分析酶促反应体系的正己烷萃取物，结果显示此重组酶可以催化FPP向法呢醇的转化。 四、中药青蒿FPS、ADS双功能酶基因的构建、表达与功能鉴定 将青蒿素生物合成途径中催化两步连续反应的酶：法呢基焦磷酸合酶和紫穗槐二烯合酶的基因进行融合，经大肠杆菌表达后鉴定融合蛋白的功能，结果表明融合蛋白具有了双功能酶活性。进一步将融合酶基因转入酿酒酵母中，发酵后检测紫穗槐二烯的含量，并与同时转入法呢基焦磷酸合酶和紫穗槐二烯合酶单个基因的酵母、单独转入紫穗槐二烯合酶基因的酵母进行了比较，结果表明，转入双功能酶的酵母发酵获得的紫穗槐二烯含量要比两个对照酵母高，这表明，获得的双功能酶的催化效率要比两个单独酶的催化效率高。 五、过量表达青蒿紫穗槐二烯合酶对青蒿中青蒿素及其前体物含量的影响 利用根癌农杆菌介导，将青蒿紫穗槐二烯合酶转入青蒿株系001，分子检测证明，紫穗槐二烯合酶整合到了青蒿基因组中并在mRNA水平得到了高效表达。部分转基因青蒿的青蒿素含量有明显增加，最多的比001株系提高了41%。青蒿酸和二氢青蒿酸含量测定表明，转基因青蒿株系的青蒿酸和二氢青蒿酸含量最多的比对照分别提高了47%和79%。这些结果表明，紫穗槐二烯合成在青蒿素生物合成途径中是一个限速步骤，同时，也显示青蒿酸或二氢青蒿酸的进一步转化也可能是青蒿素生物合成中下游的限速步骤。

Room temperature 1.25 mu m emission from high indium content InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Long-wavelength high indium content InxGa1-xAs/GaAs single/multi quantum wells (QWs) structures have been successfully grown by molecular beam epitaxy. It is evidenced by X-ray measurements that the critical thickness of the well width of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs QWs with an indium content x of 47.5% can be raised up to 7nm without strain relation. 1.25μ m photoluminescence (PL) emission is obtained from the QWs with narrower full-width at half maximum (FWHM) less than 30meV. Our results are important basements which are useful for further fabricating GaAs-based long-wavelength devices. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Formation mechanism of electric field domains

Hydrostatic pressure measurements are used to investigate the formation mechanism of electric field domains in doped weakly-coupled GaAs/AlAs superlattices. For the first plateau-like region in the I-V curve, two kinds of sequential resonant tunnelling are observed. For P<2 kbar the high-field domain is formed by the Gamma-Gamma process, while for P>2 kbar the high-field domain is formed by the T-X process. For the second plateau-libe region, the high-field domain is attributed to Gamma-X sequential resonant tunnelling. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
