20-W average power, high repetition rate, nanosecond pulse with diffraction limit from an all-fiber MOPA system

In this article, we report an all-fiber master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system, which can provide high repetition rate and nanosecond pulse with diffraction-limit. The system was constructed using a (2 + 1) X 1 multimode combiner. The Q-Switched, LD pumped Nd:YVO4 solid-state laser wets used (is master oscillator. The 976-nm fiber-coupled module is used as pump source. A 10-m long China-made Yb3+-doped D-shape double-clad large-mode-area fiber was used as amplifier fiber. The MOPA produced as much as 20-W average power with nanosecond pulse and near diffraction limited. The pulse duration is maintained at about 15 its during 50-175 kHz. The system employs a simple and compact architecture and is therefore suitable for the use in practical applications such as scientific and military airborne LIDAR and imaging. Based oil this system. the amplification performances of. the all fiber amplifier is investigated. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TeO2-AlF3氟碲酸盐玻璃的性质和结构

制备了不同氟化物含量的（1-x）TeO2-AlF3（x=10％，20％，30％，按摩尔计）透明氟碲酸盐玻璃。利用差热分析和Raman光谱对玻璃的性质和结构进行研究。结果显示：当x达到30％时，氟化铝以Al-F多面体的形式进入玻璃网络结构。随着氟化物含量增加，玻璃在中红外区的透过率提高，玻璃结构单元从[Te（O，F）4]三方双锥向[Te（O，F）3]三方锥转变。Raman光谱显示：1个宽的强峰出现在750～840cm^-1，表明玻璃中Te-O键长介于0．185-0．196nm之间。

气相传输平衡法在（11-20）面蓝宝石上制备γ铝酸锂膜

为了寻找可能替代蓝宝石作为氮化镓外延的新型衬底，通过48h的气相传输平衡，分别在1000℃、1030℃、1050℃、1070℃和1100℃制备了一层单相多晶的γ铝酸锂膜。X射线衍射和扫描电镜分别用于表征膜的物相、取向和表面形貌。结果显示，γ铝酸锂择优取向的好坏取决于气相平衡传输温度，在1050℃制备的γ铝酸锂具有高度的[100]择优取向；在γ铝酸锂（001）面上的双轴拉应力可能有助于[100]择优取向的形成；γ铝酸锂晶粒表面裂纹的方向一致性与其择优取向紧密相关。上述结果表明在合适的工艺条件下，气相传输平衡

RESERPINE IMPAIRS SPATIAL WORKING-MEMORY PERFORMANCE IN MONKEYS - REVERSAL BY THE ALPHA-2-ADRENERGIC AGONIST CLONIDINE

Repeated daily treatment with the catecholamine-depleting agent, reserpine, dramatically reduced performance on the delayed response task, a test of spatial working memory that depends upon the integrity of the prefrontal cortex. Delayed response performance fell from an average of 27.2/30 trials correct before reserpine treatment to an average of 20.4/30 trials correct after repeated reserpine administration. Injection of the alpha2-adrenergic agonist, clonidine (0.0001-0.05 mg/kg), to chronic reserpine-treated monkeys significantly restored performance on the delayed response task; performance after an optimal dose averaged 27.8/30 trials correct. Clonidine's beneficial effects on delayed response performance were longlasting; monkeys remained improved for more than 24 h after a single clonidine injection. The finding that clonidine is efficacious in reserpinized animals supports the hypothesis that alpha2-adrenergic agonists improve cognitive function through actions at postsynaptic, alpha2-adrenergic receptors on non-adrenergic cells. In contrast to the delayed response task, reserpine had little effect on performance of a visual discrimination task, a reference memory task which does not depend on the prefrontal cortex. These results emphasize the importance of postsynaptic alpha2-adrenergic mechanisms in the regulation of working memory,

High prevalence of HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus coinfection among injection drug users in the southeastern region of Yunnan, China

The southeastern region of Yunnan province is a key site for drug trafficking and HIV-1 infection spread from the west of Yunnan and Laos to southeastern China. To investigate the prevalence of HIV-1 infection and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection among injection drug users (IDUs) in southeastern Yunnan, three cohorts of 285 addicts, including 242 IDUs and 43 oral drug users, living in the cities of Gejiu and Kaiyuan and the county of Yanshan were studied. HIV-1 and HCV infections were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and/or polymerase chain reaction. Data on the age, sex, risk behavior, drug use history, employment, ethnic background, and marriage status were obtained by interview. The overall prevalence of HIV-1 infection was 71.9%. The rate of HCV coinfection among 138 HIV-1-infected IDUs was 99.3%. Most HIV-infected IDUs were 20 to 35 years old (86.7%) and were ethnic Han (75.9%), suggesting that the epidemic in Yunnan is no longer confined to non-Han ethnic minorities, HIV prevalence in female IDUs (81.2%) was significantly higher than in male IDUs (68.2%) (p <.05). The prevalence of HIV infection reached 68.4% after 1 year of injection drug use. Needle/syringe sharing is the major high risk factor for the spread of HIV-1 and HCV infections. Large-scale educational campaigns are urgently needed to reduce the spread of HIV and HCV infection in these regions.

甲基苯丙胺对微囊藻生长效应的动力学研究及机理初探

研究了不同浓度甲基苯丙胺在不同pH值条件下对铜绿微囊藻的生长效应及其动力学过程,并用色谱法对其作用机理进行了初步探讨.结果表明,在pH8.0,甲基苯丙胺浓度为0.2,2.0,20.0mg/L时,对微囊藻生长分别表现出促进、部分抑制和完全抑制效应;而在pH6.0时,3个浓度的甲基苯丙胺对微囊藻生长均表现出抑制效应,且随浓度的增大抑制效应增强.色谱分析结果表明,低浓度(0.2mg/L)的甲基苯丙胺促进了微囊藻的生长代谢,而高浓度(20.0mg/L)的甲基苯丙胺则损伤微囊藻细胞,抑制其生长代谢.

20种鲤科鱼类同工酶的表型分析及有关进化问题的探讨

本文对20种鲤科鱼类的同工酶表型进行了分析比较。鲌亚科中存在几种不同的LDH同工酶表型,以各种LDH同工酶表型所组成的一些类群,反映出亚科水平中属间的亲缘关系。按同工酶的表型可将它们分为4个类群,这些类群的划分和进化趋异的过程是与经典的系统分类相一致的。按LDH同工酶表型的异同可将鲌亚科、密鲴亚科和鲢亚科的鱼类划分成两个主要的支系。一支鱼类是具有相同迁移率的LDH-A-4 同工酶,其中包括鲌亚科的多数鱼类,由LDH 同工酶的表型推断它们与雅罗鱼亚科有较密切的亲缘关系;另一支鱼类则是具有相同迁移率的 LDH
