The role of anti-non-Gal antibodies in the development of acute humoral xenograft rejection of hDAF transgenic porcine kidneys in baboons receiving anti-Gal antibody neutralization therapy

Background. The present study was undertaken to determine the role of preformed and induced anti-non-Gal antibodies in the rejection of hDAF pig-to-baboon kidney xenotransplants after anti-Gal antibody neutralization therapy. Methods. Seven baboons receiv

Two-Dimensional Kinematic Wave Model of Overland-Flow

A two-dimensional kinematic wave model was developed for simulating runoff generation and flow concentration on an experimental infiltrating hillslope receiving artificial rainfall. Experimental observations on runoff generation and flow concentration on irregular hillslopes showed that the topography of the slope surface controlled the direction and flow lines of overland flow. The model-simulated results satisfactorily compared with experimental observations. The erosive ability of the concentrated flow was found to mainly depend on the ratio of the width and depth of confluent grooves.

Free surface vibration in oscillatory convection of half floating zone

Projecting an orthographical grating mask (20pl/mm) on the surface of a small liquid bridge and receiving the reflected distortion image, one can calculate out reversely the shape of free surface of a liquid bridge. In this way we measured the surface shape of a small floating zone and the two-dimensional deformation of its vibration. The mechanism of thermocapillary oscillatory convection and the three-dimensional variation of the free surface are revealed experimentally. The principle for space experiment has been studied in our laboratory.

发射和接收光束同时开关的激光测距法

采用同一电光器件对发射和接收光束同时开关的原理，提出了一种新颖的激光测距方法。光源发出的连续激光被待测目标反射后，往返两次通过光源端的电光晶体，在晶体上施加边沿急速变化的电压，利用其高速响应的开关特性，同时对往返光线产生影响，截取出一段包含激光往返待测距离所需时间信息的光强变化曲线。实验中利用雪崩管电路实现了纳秒级的高压上升沿，并利用单轴晶体的双折射和全内双反射性质，用特殊结构的单块LiNbO3晶体实现了该方法的测距装置。示波器分析的实验结果验证了该方法的可行性，从而为激光测距开拓了一种新的思路。

目标反射特性对激光测距的影响

针对非合作小目标激光测距系统,目标表面的反射特征对激光回波信号有很大的影响。建立测量表面双向反射分布函数(BRDF)的装置,对常用的两种热控材料——白漆涂层和F36多包层,测量了其在1064 nm波长下的双向反射分布函数。得出了白漆涂层镜面反射很小,散射角较大,利于各方向接收回波信号;而F36多包层镜面反射很强,散射角-2°~2°,不利于探测。通过由表面BRDF与由朗伯散射计算得到的最小接收功率的比较,得出了入射角大于45°入射白漆涂层时,回波信号较小;大于2°入射F36多包层时,没有回波信号。

Optical transfer of periodic microstructures by interfering femtosecond laser beams

We report on an optical interference method for transferring periodic microstructures of metal film from a supporting substrate to a receiving substrate by means of five-beam interference of femtosecond laser pulses. Scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy revealed microstructures with micrometer-order were transferred to the receiving substrate. In the meanwhile, a negative copy of the transferred structures was induced in the metal film on the supporting substrate. The diffraction characteristics of the transferred structures were also evaluated. The present technique allows one-step realization of functional optoelectronic devices.
