Czochralski growth and crystal structure of cerium-doped Lu2Si2O7 scintillator

Cerium-doped lutetium pyrosilicate crystal, Ce:Lu2Si2O7 (Ce:LPS), was grown by the Czochralski method. The segregation coefficient of Ce3+ ion was studied by the ICP-AES method. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the structure of Ce:LPS crystal was monoclinic symmetry with space group of C2/m. Perfect cleavage planes (110) and imperfect cleavage planes (001) were observed by optical microscope. The reasons why it is difficult to grow crack-free crystals were studied. After optimized growth parameters, a Ce:LPS crystal with dimension of Phi 25 x 30 mm was grown, which is colorless, high optical quality, cracking-free and no inclusions. The transmittance of Ce:LPS crystal from 380 to 800 nm is over 82% and there is no observable absorption. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Dynamic Measurement System for Dipoles of RCS for CS

A dynamic measurement system was developed by the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) for the dipole prototype of Rapid Cycle Synchrotron (RCS) of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). The repetition frequency of RCS is 25 Hz. The probe is a moving arc searching-coil, and the data acquisition system is based on the dynamic analysis modular of National Instrument. To get the error of high order harmonics of the field at basic frequency, the hardware integrator is replaced by a high speed ADC with software filter and integrator. A series of harmonic coefficients of field are used to express the varieties of dynamic fields in space and time simultaneously. The measurement system has been tested in Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), and the property of the dipole prototype of RCS has been measured. Some measurement results and the repeatability of system are illustrated in this paper.

长白山自然保护区北坡森林结构、植物多样性与碳储量40余年的变化

长白山自然保护区始建于1960年，位于北坡的红松针阔叶混交林森林生态系统是我国东北地区典型温带地带性森林植被之一，面临着全球气候变化和人类干扰的双重影响。 本研究以间隔43年的野外调查数据为基础，对1963年和2006年的长白山自然保护区北坡海拔800~1700m的森林植物群落进行对比分析，得到该区域的森林结构、植物多样性与碳储量的变化特点，讨论森林动态变化与人类活动、气候变化的关系，评价长白山自然保护区的保护效果： 对长白山北坡森林沿海拔梯度的森林结构和植物多样性的分析表明：群落的整体空间格局保存完好，植物种类变化不大，乔木层的建群种的种类基本不变，植物多样性与海拔高度呈负相关关系;林下层植物多样性受小环境影响，与海拔高度无明显相关。 以红松（Pinus koraiensis）针阔混交林、红松针叶混交林和云冷杉暗针叶林三种类型为单元分别研究各森林类型的多样性变化：α多样测度选择物种丰富度、Shannon-Wiener和Pielou均匀度指数，较好体现了样地内发生的多样性变化，灌木层和草本层多样性明显下降，一些稀有种和药用物种消失，红松等原优势物种有衰退趋势，阔叶树比例增大;β多样性测度选取Cody指数，体现出海拔梯度上的植被空间格局细节变化，演替层特别是阔叶树的物种更替变化有向高海拔移动的趋势。 对森林生态系统各层次碳储量进行估算：乔木层和灌木层采用维量法，对灌木层自建生长回归方程;草本层、枯枝落叶层采取收获法;植物细根采取根钻法;土壤采取土壤深度加权法。碳密度估算结果都与前人研究结果相似。各类型植被碳库总碳密度都达到170 t/hm2，远远高于国内平均森林植被碳库密度值44.9 t/hm2。 乔木层43年来的碳储量变化都无显著性差异，但仍表现出：阔叶树种碳储量上升，特别在高海拔类型这种变化更加明显;针叶树种碳储量在暗针叶林内大幅下降;树干的碳库分配比例都有所减少，表明植被碳库正存在向不稳定性方向发展的趋势。针阔混交林和暗针叶林的土壤碳储量，与植被碳库出现相反的变化趋势，整体碳库保持在一个相对平衡的状态。 推测造成这种变化的原因是：禁止砍伐等保护措施的实施，基本保存了乔木层垂直分布格局，而气候变暖使阔叶树种比例大幅增加，采集松籽等人类生产及旅游活动对林下层植被影响破坏较大。提议加强保护区内管理力度和规划，以减缓长白山北坡森林群落的不稳定变化趋势。

中国树鼩的寄生虫调查研究

树鼩是一种新开发的小型实验动物. 研究树鼩的寄生虫对保护树鼩群体, 保证准确的实验结果, 以及寻找人类疾病的动物模型等方面都有着重要的实用意义和理论意义. 关于缅甸、越南、婆罗洲、马来西亚、马来亚、印度、和印度尼西亚树鼩的体内外寄生虫研究, 国外学者已作过许多研究(Dunn, 1963, 1964; Van Peenen等, 1967;Durette-Desset等, 1975, 1981; File, 1974; Quentin等, 1975, 1977; Chabaud等, 1975;Ohbayashi等, 1983; Betteron等, 1977; Betterton, 1979, 1980; Myers, 1960; Orihel, 1966; Nandi, 1982; Manning等, 1972; Mallin等, 1972; Schmidt等, 1977; Houdemer, 1938; Heyneman 等, 1965; Jordan,1926; Durden 等, 1984)。

Redescription of Balantidium polyvacuolum Li 1963 (Class: Litostomatea) inhabiting the intestines of Xenocyprinae fishes in Hubei, China

Redescription of Balantidium polyvacuolum Li 1963, collected from the hindgut of Xenocypris davidi and Xenocypris argentea, from Niushan Lake Fishery (30A degrees 19' N, 114A degrees 31' E) in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in April and June 2007 is presented in this paper to complete Li's description at both light and scanning electronic microscopic levels. The unique body shape of B. polyvacuolum-highly arched dorsal side and flattened ventral surface-as well as its remarkable concave platelet present in the centroventral were well described and compared with other close Balantidium species. Besides, two types of vestibulum shape are observed in our present work, which may suggest the existence of two subspecies or genotype species of these balantidia.
