A novel method to measure coma aberration of projection system

A novel method to measure coma aberration by pattern displacements at different defocus positions is proposed in this paper. The effect of defocus on coma-induced pattern displacement is analyzed. The measuring principle of the method is described in detail. Using the simulation program PROLITH, the proportionality factors between pattern displacement and coma aberration at different defocus positions are calculated. It is proved that the method is simple to perform and the measurement accuracy of coma can increase approximately by 25% by this novel method. (c) 2006 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Chemical environment code and measure of molecular similarity

A new scheme for the code of chemical environments of compounds is described in this paper, and three molecular similarity methods have been used to select nearest neighbors from four different types of probe compounds. One of the methods is based on the C-13 NMR spectra. The second method is based on the code of chemical environments and molecular topological index A(x). The third approach, i.e. the Tanimoto coefficient, is also based on the code of chemical environments, but not to use the topological index. Five nearest neighbors for each probe compound using these three molecular similarity methods were determined and taken from the database of 7309 structures. The results indicate that the scheme of the chemical environment code and the method for similarity measure of intermolecules suggested in this study are reasonable.

Transporting nutrients from sediments: nitrogen and carbon as indicators to measure scavenging ability of a detritivorous fish, Liza haematocheila

The redlip mullet, Liza haematocheila, is a common species in polyculture as a scavenger in China. Feeding on detritus, redlip mullet transports nutrients from sediments up into the water column and converts them into forms that can be utilized by phytoplankton and affects the relative abundance of detritus and dissolved inorganic nutrients to phytoplankton, zooplankton and other fishes. We used nitrogen and carbon as the indicators in this study to measure the scavenging ability, which means intake of nitrogen or carbon by redlip mullet, and the loss of nutrients. Temperature and body weight significantly affected growth nitrogen, faecal nitrogen and faecal carbon. At a certain temperature, the proportion of growth nitrogen or growth carbon increased while the proportion of excretion nitrogen or respiration carbon decreased with increasing body weight.

海藻酸钙固定混合SRB菌群生物吸附Ni^2＋的动力学

利用海藻酸钙为载体包埋固定化硫酸盐还原菌（SRB）混合菌群，研究了固定化微生物吸附重金属镍离子的动力学特性．结果表明：固定化混合SRB菌群对Ni^2＋具有良好的吸附性能，最大吸附容量qm高达931．9mg（Ni^2＋）／g（SRB）颗粒，是一种颇具应用前景的生物吸附剂．固定化SRB吸附Ni^2＋的动力学过程可以用准二次动力学方程描述，整个吸附过程可以明显地分为两个阶段，即物理化学吸附阶段和生物沉淀阶段．扩散动力学研究表明，固定化颗粒的内扩散并非是唯一控制吸附速率的机制，整个吸附过程涉及到多种吸附机制．
