浑善达克沙地榆树树干液流动态研究

本文应用Granier热扩散技术对内蒙古浑善达克沙地榆树疏林林分进行树干液流通量研究，分别选择胸径大小占林分80%以上林木的三种胸径级（15-25cm，25-35cm，35-45cm）榆树样树各三株，应用Granier探针进行每隔15min的树干液流测定，同步测定林分环境因子，包括空气温度、相对湿度、土壤温度、土壤湿度、光合有效辐射、风速等10余个环境因子，在生长季节进行了5个月的测定，详细研究和分析了榆树树杆液流特征，其中包括昼夜变化趋势和规律、不同天气状况下的液流密度变化特点以及在生长季不同时期的液流密度变化规律，阐述了不同胸径级榆树树干液流变化特征。同时利用连续获得的树干液流通量与环境因子数据，分析了树干液流通量与环境因子的关系，阐明不同时期影响树干液流通量变化的主导因素，以及树干液流密度对环境因子的响应规律。并通过钻取样地内的树木生长年轮芯测定了榆树不同径级的边材面积，建立边材和胸径的关系方程，估算了不同胸径林分的边材面积以及冠层蒸腾的季节动态。 在晴朗的白天，不同胸径级榆树的树干液流密度变化曲线均呈单峰曲线，只是峰值持续的时间不同。不同胸径级榆树树干液流密度变化具有明显的昼夜节律性。在生长季结束后液流并不是马上停止，而是有微弱的波动。阴雨天液流密度变化曲线均不规则且液流密度值较小，甚至出现多峰曲线，而且峰值明显;液流密度的变化出现较大的波动性，夜间却有液流发生，而且值较晴天的夜间液流密度稍大。 林分不同胸径级榆树树干大径级木、中径级木和小径级木液流通量特征表现为: 榆树大径级木液流密度的峰值大于中等木，中等木峰值大于小径级木，差异明显;大径级木由于年龄较大，液流密度曲线变化平缓，没有明显的峰值，呈弧形曲线; 而且不同年龄的树木反映差别比较大，但是总体趋势还是受胸径的影响。 随季节推移生长季各月份液流密度均值基本逐渐减小，进入生长季末期(10月)基本处于微弱波动状态。液流通量月平均值最大值一般都出现在6-8月，大径级木、中径级木和小径级木各月液流通量变化差异较大。日液流通量比较分析得出，大径级木日液流通量最大值分别为394.53，中径级木为66.04，小径级木为63.56 kg∙ d-1。综合分析对不同胸径树木影响较大的环境因子为VPD，PAR，Ta; 但是在不同生长季节，对不同类型树木起主要作用的环境因子也不尽相同，但是PAR与VPD是其中基本主要起作用的两个因子。 通过建立边材与胸径的关系方程，得出边材和胸径关系(R2=0.99)。通过经验公式计算得出，林分生长期的蒸腾耗水量相当于2.24mm/day, 低于当地同期降雨量2.78mm/day.

Development of an Active Superconducting Magnetic Bearing

The potential use of YBa2Cu3C7as an active component in a magnetic bearing is being investigated. Measurements are being made of the load bearing capacity and related stiffnesses in comparison to predictions from the critical state model. Although the load bearing capacity is high and increases with the square of the magnetic field trapped the stiffness is low. We report on a novel design concept to overcome this problem. © 1995 IEEE

Bearings and energy storage

Passive magnetic bearings are ideal components for energy storage flywheels which require small dynamic loads and low-maintenance bearings with minimal power requirements. High temperature superconductors such as YBCO can be used to fabricate these bearings and achieve the desired magnetic properties. Stiffness and gap decay due to high speed can be addressed by dynamically altering bearing geometry to provide active control with bulk materials.

Dynamic properties of superconducting magnetic bearings

The potential use of YBa2j as an active component in a magnetic bearing is being investigated. Although the load bearing capacity is high and increases with the square of the magnetic field trapped, the stiffness is low. Both the stiffness and the lévitation height are a function of the loading history of the bearing. At Cambridge we have been investigating the effects of dynamic loading such as single large excursions from steady state loads and cyclically applied loads such as vibrations. Since a superconducting bearing has little inherent damping cyclic loads applied at or near its natural frequency can have catastrophic effects. The information being gathered at Cambridge will be used to enable these effects to be mitigated in the bearing design process. © 1997 IEEE.

芍药花色形成的化学机制及其化学分类研究

本文以9 个芍药野生种（15 份种质）、104 个品种及2 个牡丹芍药组间杂种的花瓣为材料，利用液质联用技术鉴定了花瓣中的色素成分并探讨了芍药花色形成的化学机制和化学分类法。 结果表明，芍药花中主要含有5 种花青素，即芍药花素-3，5-二葡糖苷（ peonidin-3,5-di-O-glucoside ， Pn3G5G ）; 矢车菊素-3 ， 5- 二葡糖苷（ cyanidin-3,5-di-O-glucoside ， Cy3G5G ）; 天竺葵素-3 ， 5- 二葡糖苷（ pelargonidin-3,5-di-O-glucoside ， Pg3G5G ）; 芍药花素-3- 葡糖苷（peonidin-3-O-glucoside，Pn3G）和矢车菊素-3-葡糖苷（cyanidin-3-O-glucoside，Cy3G）。此外，3 种微量的花青素首次在芍药中发现：它们分别为芍药花素-3-葡萄糖-5-阿拉伯糖苷（peonidin-3-O-glucoside-5-O-arabinoside，Pn3G5Ara）、矢车菊素-3- 葡萄糖-5- 半乳糖苷（ cyanidin-3-O-glucoside-5-O-galactoside ，Cy3G5Gal）和天竺葵素-3-葡萄糖-5-半乳糖苷（pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside-5-Ogalactoside，Pg3G5Gal）。特征花青素Cy3G5Gal 和Pg3G5Gal 仅在新疆芍药（Paeonia anomala L.）及其亚种川赤芍（P. anomala subsp. veitchii(Lynch) D. Y.Hong & K. Y. Pan）中被检测出来，表明它们属于同一个种。Pn3G5Ara 仅存在于欧洲的野生芍药花瓣中，表明中国野生芍药和欧洲芍药的花青素代谢途径不同。 芍药花瓣中主要含有11 种花黄素，均为黄酮醇类物质。包括栎精-3，7 二葡糖苷（ quercetin-3,7-di-O-glucoside ）、山奈酚-3 ， 7 二葡糖苷（kaempferol-3,7-di-O-glucoside）、异鼠李素-3，7 二葡糖苷（isorhamnetin-3,7-di-Oglucoside）、栎精-3-O-(6”-没食子酰基)-葡糖苷 [quercetin-3-O-（6”-O-galloyl）-glucoside] 、栎精-3- 葡糖苷（ quercetin-3-O-glucoside ）、山奈酚-7- 葡糖苷（ kaempferol-7-O-glucoside ）、山奈酚-3-O- （ 6”- 没食子酰基） - 葡糖苷[kaempferol-3-O-（6”-O-galloyl)-glucoside]、异鼠李素-3-O-（6”-没食子酰基）-葡糖苷 [isorhamnetin-3-O- （ 6”-O-galloyl ） -glucoside] 、山奈酚-3- 葡糖苷（kaempferol-3-O-glucoside）、异鼠李素-3-葡糖苷（isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside）和山奈酚-丙二酰葡糖苷（kaempferol-malonyl-glucoside）。此外，查耳酮在黄色的栽培品种‘黄金轮’和牡丹芍药组间杂交种‘伊藤杂种’中首次被检测到。其化学结构为查耳酮-2’-葡糖苷（chalcononaringenin 2’-O-glucoside），它是花瓣表现出黄色的主要色素，它与黄色牡丹野生种‘滇牡丹’（P. delavayi Franchet）花瓣中主要黄色色素成分一致。 通过对所有芍药野生种和栽培品种的色素分析，研究发现花青素是芍药花瓣中主要的色素，其中Pn3G5G 是花瓣中含量最高的花青素苷，其次为Cy3G5G。3G 型糖苷仅在少数品种中检测出来。此外，黄酮醇是芍药花瓣中重要的辅助色素。山奈酚苷是花瓣中含量最高的黄酮醇类，其次是栎精。 多元线性回归分析的结果表明，芍药花色的形成主要与花瓣中Pn3G5G、Cy3G5G 和Pg3G5G 的含量及总花青素量（TA）有关。根据8 种花青素结构与花色组成，将国内的野生种和大部分品种进行了化学分类：所有样本聚成3 大类，聚类后的树状图与其花色、花色素组成数据相一致，直观反映了野生种和栽培品种花色形成的化学背景和表型相似性程度。 芍药成色机理和化学分类的初步研究，对芍药新花色育种具有重要意义：芍药鲜红色花的育种中，育种亲本应具有高的Cy3G 含量、低的辅助色素效应指数。选育深紫色花或紫黑色花的品种，亲本应具有高的Pn3G5G 含量和低的Pg3G5G 含量。

Field emission from tetrahedrally bonded amorphous carbon

The field emission behaviour of a series of Tetrahedrally Bonded Amorphous Carbon (ta-C) films has been measured. The films were produced using a Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc System. The threshold field for emission and current densities achievable have been investigated as a function of sp3/sp2 bonding ratio and nitrogen content. Typical as-grown undoped ta-C films have a threshold field of order 10-15 V/μm and optimally nitrogen-doped films exhibit fields as low as 5 V/μm. The emission as a function of back contact and front surface condition has also been considered and shows that the back contact has only a minor effect on emission efficiency. However, after etching in either an oxygen or hydrogen plasma, the films show a marked reduction in threshold field, down to as low as 2-3 V/μm, and a marked improvement in emission site density.

Amorphous carbon for use in thin film transistors

Tetrahedrally bonded amorphous carbon (ta-C) is a new type of semiconducting thin film material. It can be produced at room temperature using the Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc technique. The as-grown undoped ta-C is p-type in nature but it can be n-doped by the addition of nitrogen during deposition. This paper will describe thin film transistor design and fabrication using ta-C as the active channel layer.

Tetrahedrally bonded amorphous carbon for field-emission displays

Field emission from a series of tetrahedrally bonded amorphous-carbon (ta-C) films, deposited in a filtered cathodic vacuum arc, has been measured. The threshold field for emission and current densities achievable have been investigated as a function of sp3/sp2 bonding ratio and nitrogen content. Typical as-grown undoped ta-C films have threshold fields of the order 10-15 V/μm and optimally nitrogen doped films exhibited fields as low as 5 V/μm. In order to gain further understanding of the mechanism of field emission, the films were also subjected to H2, Ar, and O2 plasma treatments and were also deposited onto substrates of different work function. The threshold field, emission current, emission site densities were all significantly improved by the plasma treatment, but little dependence of these properties on work function of the substrate was observed. This suggests that the main barrier to emission in these films is at the front surface.
