Homoepitaxial growth of ZnO films via low-temperature liquid-phase epitaxy

Homoepitaxial ZnO films have been grown via liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) on (000 1) oriented ZnO substrates. X-ray rocking curve revealed the high quality of the ZnO films with a FWHM of 40 arc sec. Films of thickness about 20 gm were gown in the temperature range 700-720 degrees C. The growth rate of ZnO films was estimated to be 0.3 mu m h(-1). Atomic force microscope analysis showed that the surface roughness of ZnO films was very low, which further confirmed the high crystallinity of ZnO films. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Growth, etching morphology and spectra of LiAlO2 crystal

gamma-LiAlO2 single crystal was successfully grown by Czochralski method. The crystal quality was characterized by X-ray rocking curve and chemical etching. The effects of air-annealing and vapor transport equilibration (VTE) on the crystal quality, etch pits and absorption spectra of LiAlO2 were also investigated in detail. The results show that the as-grown crystal has very high quality with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 17.7-22.6 arcsec. Dislocation density in the middle part of the crystal is as low as about 3.0 x 10(3) cm(-2). The VTE-treated slice has larger FWHM value, etch pits density and absorption coefficient as compared with those of untreated and air-annealed slices, which indicates that the crystal quality became inferior after VTE treatment.

A novel non-intrusive sampling technique for CO2 laser on-line beam monitoring utilising a silicon mirror

The measurement of high speed laser beam parameters during processing is a topic that has seen growing attention over the last few years as quality assurance places greater demand on the monitoring of the manufacturing process. The targets for any monitoring system is to be non-intrusive, low cost, simple to operate, high speed and capable of operation in process. A new ISO compliant system is presented based on the integration of an imaging plate and camera located behind a proprietary mirror sampling device. The general layout of the device is presented along with the thermal and optical performance of the sampling optic. Diagnostic performance of the system is compared with industry standard devices, demonstrating the high quality high speed data which has been generated using this system.

Análise numérica do comportamento de juntas entre aduelas de vigas protendidas.

Diversos pesquisadores têm estudado o comportamento e o emprego de aduelas de concreto, que constituem as vigas segmentadas em sistemas estruturais, de maneira especial pontes e viadutos. Por esta razão, inúmeros trabalhos têm sido publicados nos últimos anos respaldados por testes experimentais e análises numéricas. O comportamento destas vigas contrasta com as clássicas vigas monolíticas em diversos aspectos, pois, a estrutura é composta de partes de elementos de concreto pré-moldado que, após serem posicionados no local definitivo, são protendidos. A protensão pode ser aderente ou não aderente. A principal vantagem deste sistema de construção é a rapidez e o alto controle de qualidade, por isso é largamente utilizado, havendo uma demanda de estudo de previsão do seu real comportamento No presente trabalho apresenta-se uma modelagem numérica via elementos finitos, para simular o comportamento de vigas compostas por aduelas justapostas sem material ligante entre as juntas. A protensão aplicada é aderente e a análise considera a não linearidade da região da junta. Assim sendo, o objetivo desta investigação é dar uma contribuição ao estudo do comportamento estrutural estático de vigas segmentadas, atentando para o comportamento das juntas, utilizando um programa comercial. Para o modelo são empregadas técnicas usuais de discretização, via método dos elementos finitos (MEF), por meio do programa de elementos finitos SAP2000[93]. O modelo proposto é constituído de elementos de placa próprios para concreto para representar a viga, a protensão é introduzida por meio de barras bidimensionais que transferem as tensões ao longo de seu comprimento e as juntas são implementadas utilizando elementos de contato. A analise é bidimensional e considera os efeitos das perdas de protensão. Este trabalho de pesquisa objetiva também o estudo de elementos de contato especialmente as características de deformação para esta ferramenta computacional. A definição dos parâmetros para o modelo foi feita com base em dados experimentais disponíveis na literatura. O modelo numérico foi calibrado e confrontado com resultados experimentais obtidos em ensaios de laboratório.

SiO_2薄膜折射率的准确拟合分析

精确的光学常数对于设计和制备高品质的光学薄膜非常重要,尤其是那些光学性能对折射率变化敏感的薄膜。SiO_2是一种常用的低折射率材料,因与常用基底折射率相近使其准确拟合有一定难度。实验通过离子束溅射制备了SiO_2单层膜。考虑测量时的误差和基底折射率的影响,采用透射率包络和反射率包络得到了SiO_2的折射率,并用所得折射率进行反演来对这两种途径在实际测量拟合过程中的准确性进行比对。分析表明,剩余反射率在实际的测量过程中误差更小,直接用测量镀膜前后基片的剩余反射率值可以更简便更准确地得到SiO_2的折射率,能达到10~(-2)的精度。

Regional variation in the annual feeding cycle of juvenile walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in the western Gulf of Alaska

Juvenile fish in temperate coastal oceans exhibit an annual cycle of feeding, and within this cycle, poor wintertime feeding can reduce body growth, condition, and perhaps survival, especially in food-poor areas. We examined the stomach contents of juvenile walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) to explain previously observed seasonal and regional variation in juvenile body condition. Juvenile walleye pollock (1732 fish, 37–250 mm standard length) of the 2000 year class were collected from three regions in the Gulf of Alaska (Kodiak, Semidi, and Shumagin) representing an area of the continental shelf of ca. 100,000 km2 during four seasons (August 2000 to September 2001). Mean stomach content weight (SCW, 0.72% somatic body weight) decreased with fish body length except from winter to summer 2001. Euphausiids composed 61% of SCW and were the main determinant of seasonal change in the diets of fish in the Kodiak and Semidi regions. Before and during winter, SCW and the euphausiid dietary component were highest in the Kodiak region. Bioenergetics modeling indicated a relatively high growth rate for Kodiak juveniles during winter (0.33 mm standard length/d). After winter, Shumagin juveniles had relatively high SCW and, unlike the Kodiak and Semidi juveniles, exhibited no reduction in the euphausiid dietary component. These patterns explain previous seasonal and regional differences in body condition. We hypothesize that high-quality feeding locations (and perhaps nursery areas) shift seasonally in response to the availability of euphausiid

Spatial and temporal patterns in the bycatch of seabirds in the Argentinian longline fishery

Longline fisheries have grown throughout the world’s oceans for more than 40 years. This type of fisheries has captured high-quality fish (mature individuals rather than unwanted juveniles), has had minimal destructive effects on bottom habitats, and has produced a low bycatch of nontargeted fish (Brothers et al., 1999). Seabirds, however, are hooked accidentally when they swallow or are snagged on the baited hooks set by commercial longline crews (Brothers, 1991; Barnes et al., 1997; Tasker et al., 2000; Belda and Sanchez 2001; Jahncke et al., 2001

Community-based fish culture in seasonal floodplains

During the rainy season in extensive river floodplains and deltaic lowlands, floods render the land unavailable for crop production for several months each year. These waters are considerably underutilized in terms of managed aquatic productivity. This raises the opportunity to enclose parts of these floodwater areas to produce a crop of specifically stocked aquatic organisms aside from the naturally occurring ‘wild’ species that are traditionally fished and are not affected by the culture activity, resulting in more high-quality, nutrient-dense food production and enhanced farm income for all stakeholders, notably the poor. The WorldFish Center and its national partners recently tested the concurrent rice-fish culture in the shallower flooded areas and the alternating rice-fish culture in the deep-flooded areas of Bangladesh and Viet Nam through a community-based management system. Results indicate that community-based fish culture in rice fields can increase fish production by about 600 kg/ha/year in shallow flooded areas and up to 1.5 t/ha/year in deep-flooded areas, without a reduction in the rice yield or wild fish catch.
