A survey of research and scientific services in East Africa, 1947-56

This "Survey of Research and Scientific Services in East Arica 1947-1956" has been prepared by Dr. E. B. Worthington, who held the post of Scientific Secretary in the Office of the Chief Secretary to the East African Governor's Conference and subsequently in the Administrator's Office of the East Mrica High Commission during the period January, 1947-May, 1951. Dr. Worthington is now Secretary General of the Scientific Council for, Arica South of the Sahara

How to achieve high mobility thin film transistors by direct deposition of silicon using 13.56 MHz RF PECVD?

CMOS nanocrystalline silicon thin film transistors with high field effect mobility are reported. The transistors were directly deposited by radio-frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at 150°C The transistors show maximum field effect mobility of 450 cm2/V-s for electrons and 100 cm2/V-s for holes at room temperature. We attribute the high mobilities to a reduction of the oxygen content, which acts as an accidental donor. Indeed, secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements show that the impurity concentration in the nanocrystalline Si layer is comparable to, or lower than, the defect density in the material, which is already low thanks to hydrogen passivation.

近56年来科尔沁沙地气候变化特征

根据1951—2006年的气温和降水资料,研究了干旱少雨、生态环境脆弱、土地荒漠化严重的科尔沁沙地近56年的气候变化特征。结果表明:1951—2006年,科尔沁沙地的气温以0.28℃.10a-1的速度上升,远大于全球近50年来0.13℃.10a-1的平均增温速率;各季节气温都呈上升趋势,冬、春季增温速率极显著(P<0.001),增温速率分别为0.46和0.39℃.10a-1;年最高气温(0.17℃.10a-1)与年最低气温(0.42℃.10a-1)均呈极显著地增加趋势(P<0.01);降水量年际间波动较大,无明显的变化趋势,各季节降水量也没有明显的变化规律;年降水日数呈显著减少趋势(1.3d.10a-1),各季的降水日数虽都有逐年减少趋势,但没有达到显著水平;年降水强度和各季降水强度都没有明显的变化规律;年总小雨日数呈显著的减少趋势(P<0.05),减少速率为1.0d.10a-1。

Optical colors of 56 near-Earth objects: trends with size and orbit

We present the results of BVRIZ photometry of 56 near-Earth objects (NEOs) obtained with the 1-m Jacobus Kapteyn telescope on La Palma during 2000 and 2001. Our sample includes many NEOs with particularly deep 1 - mum pyroxene/olivine absorption bands, similar to Q-type asteroids. We also classify three NEOs with particularly blue colors. No D-type asteroids were found, placing an upper limit of similar to2% on the fraction of the NEO population originating in the outer main belt or the Trojan clouds. The ratio of dark to bright objects in our sample was found to be 0.40, significantly higher than current theoretical predictions. As well as classifying the NEOs, we have investigated color trends with size and orbit. We see a general trend for larger silicate objects to have shallower absorption bands but find no significant difference in the distribution of taxonomic classes at small and large sizes. Our data clearly show that different taxonomic classes tend to occupy different regions of (a, e) space. By comparing our data with current model predictions for NEO dynamical evolution we see that Q- R-, and V-type NEOs tend to have orbits associated with "fast track" delivery from the main belt, whereas S-type NEOs tend to have orbits associated with "slow track" delivery. This outcome would be expected if space weathering occurs on time scales of >10(6) years. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
