基于奇异值分解的数字波前拟合算法

提出了基于奇异值分解、采用泽尼克多项式拟合干涉波前的算法，该算法直接从线性方程组入手，对矩阵进行奇异值分解分解，在求解逆矩阵的过程中，采用阈值法对奇异值的倒数进行非常规的置换（∞→0），可直接得到系数向量。理论分析和实验证明，相对于传统的格拉姆-施密特正交法，该算法可首先通过求解条件数判断线性方程矩阵是否奇异，对于解决病态方程组或奇异矩阵的最小二乘问题，有很好的稳定性，避免了由最小二乘构造的法方程组出现病态而引入的计算误差，且易于编程。

Growth and characterization of new transparent conductive oxides single crystals beta-Ga2O(3): Sn

Tin oxide doped beta-Ga2O3 single crystals are recognized as transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) materials. They have a larger band gap (4.8 eV) than any other TCOs, thus can be transparent in UV region. This property shows that they have the potential to make the optoelectronic device used in even shorter wavelength than usual TCOs. beta-Ga2O3 single crystals doped with different Sn4+ concentrations were grown by the floating zone technique. Their optical properties and electrical conductivities were systematically studied. It has been found that their conductivities and optical properties were influenced by the Sn4+ concentrations and annealing. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

铬过渡层对银膜光学性质及附着力的影响

研究了在玻璃基底上采用不同厚度的铬膜作过渡层，对银膜的光学性质及其附着力的影响。光谱测量结果表明，随着铬膜层厚度的增加，银膜的反射率先增大后减小。与直接镀在玻璃基底上的银膜的反射率相比，铬膜层厚度为8～14nm时，银膜的反射率较低；铬膜层厚度为17～21nm时，银膜的反射率得到提高，其中铬膜厚度为17nm时，银膜的反射率最高；继续增加铬膜层的厚度，银膜的反射率又降低，说明采用一定厚度的铬膜作过渡层可以提高银膜的反射率。X射线衍射（XRD）结构分析表明，一定厚度的铬膜改善了银膜的结晶程度，使薄膜的晶粒度增大

The effect of low solubility organic acids on the hygroscopicity of sodium halide aerosols

In order to accurately assess the influence of fatty acids on the hygroscopic and other physicochemical properties of sea salt aerosols, hexanoic, octanoic or lauric acid together with sodium halide salts (NaCl, NaBr and NaI) have been chosen to be investigated in this study. The hygroscopic properties of sodium halide sub-micrometre particles covered with organic acids have been examined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in an aerosol flow cell. Covered particles were generated by flowing atomized sodium halide particles (either dry or aqueous) through a heated oven containing the gaseous acid. The obtained results indicate that gaseous organic acids easily nucleate onto dry and aqueous sodium halide particles. On the other hand, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicate that lauric acid coating on NaCl particles makes them to aggregate in small clusters. The hygroscopic behaviour of covered sodium halide particles in deliquescence mode shows different features with the exchange of the halide ion, whereas the organic surfactant has little effect in NaBr particles, NaCl and NaI covered particles experience appreciable shifts in their deliquescence relative humidities, with different trends observed for each of the acids studied. In efflorescence mode, the overall effect of the organic covering is to retard the loss of water in the particles. It has been observed that the presence of gaseous water in heterogeneously nucleated particles tends to displace the cover of hexanoic acid to energetically stabilize the system.

Multi-criteria material selection in engineering design

Almost all material selection problems require that a compromise be sought between some metric of performance and cost. Trade-off methods using utility functions allow optimal solutions to be found for two objective, but for three it is harder. This paper develops and demonstrates a method for dealing with three objectives.

Sob outro olhar: a narrativa jesuítica sobre o hinduísmo e sua relação com a prática missionária no sul da Índia (Século XVII)

No contexto da expansão ultramarina portuguesa no Oriente, a região do Maduré, localizada ao sul da Índia, também vivenciou a experiência política e, principalmente, religiosa a partir da presença da Companhia de Jesus nesse espaço. Em 1596, o jesuíta português Gonçalo Fernandes Trancoso tornou-se responsável por cuidar da comunidade cristã existente no Maduré, ganhando como companheiro de missão, em 1606, o jesuíta italiano Roberto de Nobili. A presente dissertação tem por objetivo central promover uma análise acerca das atuações missionárias dos jesuítas Gonçalo Fernandes Trancoso e Roberto de Nobili na missão do Maduré, no início do século XVII. Seus trabalhos missionários podem ser compreendidos a partir do estudo de suas narrativas sobre os costumes e práticas bramânicas, sendo possível identificar, para além das diferentes estratégias de conversão utilizadas por ambos inacianos, o modo como estes articularam seus conhecimentos sobre a sociedade indiana e o hinduísmo com o desenvolvimento de um projeto de conversão. Assim, destaca-se a falta homogeneidade no interior da Companhia de Jesus no que toca a práticas e métodos missionários.
