2W Yb-doped double-clad fiber superfluorescent source with 42 nm 3 dB bandwidth

The output spectrum of Yb-doped double-clad fiber superfluorescent source (SFS) is tailored by placing a broadband dichroic mirror in the pump end of conventional single-pass forward configuration, which constitutes double-pass forward configuration. The 3 dB bandwidth is increased from I I to 42 nm. A maximum output SFS power of 2.12 W and a slope efficiency of 43.2% are obtained. The double-clad fiber is 25 in and the pump power is adequate to saturate the fiber as far as the feedback-induced lasing appears. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Evidence of gene conversion in the evolutionary process of the codon 41/42 (-CTTT) mutation causing beta-thalassemia in southern China

The 4-bp deletion (-CTTT) at codon 41/42 (CD41/42) of the human beta-globin gene represents one of the most common beta-thalassemia mutations in East Asia and Southeast Asia, which is historically afflicted with endemic malaria, thus hypothetically evolvi

A novel serine protease inhibitor from Bungarus fasciatus venom

By Sephadex G-50 gel filtration, cation-exchange CM-Sephadex C-25 chromatography and reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a novel serine protease inhibitor named bungaruskunin was purified and characterized from venom of Bungarus fasciatus. Its cDNA was also cloned from the cDNA library of B. fasciatus venomous glands. The predicted precursor is composed of 83 amino acid (aa) residues including a 24-aa signal peptide and a 59-aa mature bungaruskunin. Bungaruskunin showed maximal similarity (64%) with the predicted serine protease inhibitor blackelin deduced from the cDNA sequence of the red-bellied black snake Pseudechis porphyriacus. Bungaruskunin is a Kunitz protease inhibitor with a conserved Kunitz domain and could exert inhibitory activity against trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase. By screening the cDNA library, two new B chains of beta-bungarotoxin are also identified. The overall structures of bungaruskunin and beta -bungarotoxin B chains are similar; especially they have highly conserved signal peptide sequences. These findings strongly suggest that snake Kunitz/BPTI protease inhibitors and neurotoxic homologs may have originated from a common ancestor. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

云南哀牢山平河黑长臂猿栖息地乔木结构分析

采用样方方法对栖息于云南省哀牢山平河(E 101°17′16.1″,N 24°20′09.5″,海拔2 600 m)的黑长臂猿(Nomascus concolor)栖息地乔木层结构进行了调查.调查中共记录到乔木57种隶属于23科37属;木质藤本植物9种隶属于6科8属.优势科主要为杜鹃花科(Ericaceae)、木兰科(Magnoliaceae)、山茶科(Theaceae)和壳斗科(Fagaceae)植物.主要树种重要值排序表明,露珠杜鹃(Rhododendron irroratum)为该地区最主要的优势种,在各坡位中均有广泛分布.乔木的多样性指数、均匀度指数在沟底明显降低,而乔木1层和2层所占的比例以及木质藤本的平均多度均随着坡位的下降而升高.与其他地区的长臂猿相比,哀牢山黑长臂猿的活动程度较低(10-22 m),果实性食物种类较少.

Effects of growth temperature of AlGaN buffer layer on the properties of A1(0.58)Ga(0.42)N epilayer by NH3-MBE

Al0.58Ga0.42N epilayers are grown by ammonia gas source molecular beam epitaxy (NH3-MBE) on (0001) sapphire substrate using AlGaN buffer layer. The effects of the buffer layer growth temperature on the properties of Al0.58Ga0.42N epilayer are especially investigated. In-situ high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), double-crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoconductivity measurement and cathodoluminescence (CL) are used to characterize the samples. It is found that high growth temperature of AlGaN buffer layer would improve the crystalline quality, surface smoothness, optical quality and uniformity of the Al0.58Ga0.42N epilayer. The likely reason for such improvements is also suggested. (C) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

1.3 mu m high indium content (42.5%) GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy

High structural and optical quality 1.3 mu m GaInNAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) samples with 42.5% indium content were successfully grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The growth of well layers was monitored by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) peak intensity of the GaIn0.425NAs/GaAs (6 nm / 20 nm) 3QW is higher than, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is comparable to, that of In0.425GaAs/GaAs 3QW, indicating improved optical quality due to strain compensation effects by introducing N to the high indium content InGaAs epilayer. The measured (004) X-ray rocking curve shows clear satellite peaks and Pendellosung fringes, suggesting high film uniformity and smooth interfaces. The cross sectional TEM measurements further reveal that there are no structural defects in such high indium content QWs. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

Non-commutative oscillator with Kepler-type dynamical symmetry

A 3-dimensional non-commutative oscillator with no mass term but with an appropriate momentum-dependent potential admits a conserved Runge-Lenz vector, derived from the dual description in momentum space. The trajectories lie on ellipses. The dynamical symmetry allows for an algebraic determination of the bound-state spectrum and extends to o(4,2). (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

42 MeV/u~(12)C与~(115)In反应的靶余核

本实验使用放射化学方法测定了42 MeV/u (12)C与~(115)In相互作用靶余核的生成截面。借助高斯电荷分布的假设得到了靶余核的质量分布。将实验得到的质量分布与熔合碎裂模型和级联的两体衰变模型进行了比较。特别值得注意的是，使用统计的两体衰变模型Monte Carlo GEMINI程序计算第一次与实验结果符合得非常满意。同时计算结果也表明：在42MeV/u的轰击能量下，完全熔合对靶余核的产物仍然有很大的贡献。在同样的假设下，得到了靶余核的同位素分布。可以看到，同位素分布的宽度随靶余核原子序数的增加而增加，在此对利用中能重离子反应生成新的远离β稳定线的缺中子核素进行了讨论
