Study of energy transfer between rare earth ions in CaS host by photoluminescence spectra

When CaS:Sm3+, Eu2+ is excited at 476.5 nm (Ar+), the emission spectra taken at room temperature and at 77 K are different, indicating that there are two competitive energy transfer processes-Sm3+ --> Eu2+ and Eu2+ --> Sm3+ with phonon participation. So, the luminescence intensity of Sm3+ increases first, and then decreases as the concentration of Eu2+ is increasing. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Photochromism in CaS : Sm

The photochromism in CaS:Sm (from white to pink) was observed for the first time by exposing it to ultraviolet light. The experiments results show that the absorption intensity of Sm2+ in the range of 500 similar to 600nm was strongly increased after irradiation. This reveals that there is the valence changing of Sm. If the sample was excited by visible light again, the pink color turned to white, indicating that CaS:Sm has potential application in the field of storage material.

CaS:Cu~+的热释发光性质

近年来对一些稀土和重金属离子在碱土金属硫化物的热释发光有过研究,,如CaS: Ce~(3+)和CaS:Bi~(3+)体系。N.Singh et al.(3)研究了CaS:Cu,Al以及CaS:Cu,Cl在UV辐照下热释发光峰值温度分别为80℃和75℃。我们用二甲亚砜硝酸钙为原料合成的CaS :Cu~+磷光体,在UV(366nm)辐照下,热释发光峰值温度大于100℃,峰值温度随铜离子浓度变化。

CaS:Cu~+磷光体的合成及发光性质

本文首先用X光电子能谱分析铜在硫化钙基质中是以一价形式存在的.在掺铜的硫化钙的激发光谱中,有三个吸收峰,峰位分别为268nm、307nm和400nm;在CaS:Cu~+的发射光谱中,产生四个发射峰,峰位分别为430nm、465nm、490nm和610nm.这四个发射峰分别由不同铜离子格位产生的.在Cas:Cu~+的热释发光曲线中,显示单一热释发光峰,峰值温度为120℃,该热释发光峰有可能用作紫外剂量材料.

CaS:Ce~(3+)磷光体的合成及发光性质

本文研究了不同合成条件对CaS:Ce~(3+)磷光体发光性质的影响。CaS:Ce~(3+)的发光强度随Ce~(3+)离子的浓度发生变化,最佳浓度为1.001×10~(-3)mol。对应于新的单一热释发光峰(426K)的陷阱参数为,陷阱深度E=1.01eV,逃逸频率因素S=1.2×10~(11)s~(-1),磷光体的热释发光满足二级动力学过程。

CAS-1模拟月壤

模拟月壤是与月球月壤具有相似的矿物组成、化学成分和物理力学性质的地球物质,是月球样品的地球化学复制品.长白山龙岗火山群金龙顶子火山喷发的四海火山渣具有与阿波罗14号采集的月球样品相似的化学和矿物组成,并含有20%～40 %的玻璃物质.以四海火山渣为初始物质,研制成功CAS-1模拟月壤,并测量了CAS-1模拟月壤的主量和微量元素组成、矿物组成、密度、颗粒形态、粒度分布、抗剪性和复介电常数等参数.结果表明,CAS-1模拟月壤与Apollo 14号采集的月球样品具有相似的化学成分、矿物组成和物理力学性质,是一种理想的低钛玄武岩质模拟月壤.

Self-Organizing Grammar Induction Using a Neural Network Model

This paper presents a self-organizing, real-time, hierarchical neural network model of sequential processing, and shows how it can be used to induce recognition codes corresponding to word categories and elementary grammatical structures. The model, first introduced in Mannes (1992), learns to recognize, store, and recall sequences of unitized patterns in a stable manner, either using short-term memory alone, or using long-term memory weights. Memory capacity is only limited by the number of nodes provided. Sequences are mapped to unitized patterns, making the model suitable for hierarchical operation. By using multiple modules arranged in a hierarchy and a simple mapping between output of lower levels and the input of higher levels, the induction of codes representing word category and simple phrase structures is an emergent property of the model. Simulation results are reported to illustrate this behavior.

The Toronto Word Pool: Norms for imagery, concreteness, orthographic variables, and grammatical usage for 1,080 words

Imagery and concreteness norms and percentage noun usage were obtained on the 1,080 verbal items from the Toronto Word Pool. Imagery was defined as the rated ease with which a word aroused a mental image, and concreteness was defined in relation to level of abstraction. The degree to which a word was functionally a noun was estimated in a sentence generation task. The mean and standard deviation of the imagery and concreteness ratings for each item are reported together with letter and printed frequency counts for the words and indications of sex differences in the ratings. Additional data in the norms include a grammatical function code derived from dictionary definitions, a percent noun judgment, indexes of statistical approximation to English, and an orthographic neighbor ratio. Validity estimates for the imagery and concreteness ratings are derived from comparisons with scale values drawn from the Paivio, Yuille, and Madigan (1968) noun pool and the Toglia and Battig (1978) norms. © 1982 Psychonomic Society, Inc.

Ptolemaic Mummy Stuffings, 2: A Comic Fragment and Grammatical Text in the Yale Collection (P. CtYBR inv. 5019, 5043)

This is the second installment of a three-part project to publish a group of ten Ptolemaic papyri purchased by Yale’s Beinecke Library in 1998 (acquisition “1998b”), which came to the Beinecke as three hard wads that were apparently the stuffing from the stomach cavity of a mummified animal. This article publishes: (1) P.CtYBR inv. 5019, a fragment of line ends in iambic tetrameter catalectic meter from an unknown comedy; the format suggests that this is a further example of certain type of Ptolemaic writing exercise. (2) P.CtYBR inv. 5043, a fragmentary grammatical text of uncertain import.

Syndrome d'immunodéficience acquise (AIDS) révélé par un herpes génital sévère. A propos de deux cas.

The authors present 2 cases of AIDS revealed by severe recurrent genital herpes simplex. The patients are 2 young, previously healthy, African women without histories of homosexuality or drug abuse. The first patient died after 5 months of follow-up (post mortem findings: viral bronchopneumonia with positive cultures for herpes and cytomegalovirus (CMV), viral colitis due to CMV). The second patient survived. She has been treated, during the last 11 months, for filariasis, buccal and vaginal candidiasis and cerebral toxoplasmosis.
