离子束辅助技术获得高激光损伤阈值的增透膜

采用合适的离子束辅助沉积（IBAD）参数在K9基底上镀制了高激光损伤阈值的中心波长1053nm的增透膜，分别从光谱性能、吸收性能、抗激光损伤阈值（LIDT）以及退火后的影响等方面与未进行离子束辅助沉积的薄膜进行对比分析。实验结果发现，采用离子辅助制备的薄膜放置80d后具有更好的光谱稳定性，与未进行离子束辅助镀制的薄膜相比，平均吸收下降了57％，吸收值偏高的奇异点明显减少；损伤阈值提高了60％，用Leica偏振光学显微镜观察50％损伤几率的能量下破斑形貌，发现经过离子束辅助制备的样品破斑形状整齐且缺陷点少；

陈化石油污染物降解菌的筛选

选择6株自堆腐处理2阶段的石油污染土壤中分离的真菌,另引进2株白腐真菌作为供试菌株,采用以河沙替代土壤,用人工投加污染物的实验方法,研究了有较强解脂酶活性的真菌对特稠油、胶质和沥青质的降解效果。结果表明,在好氧条件下,土壤中低浓度污染物(特稠油浓度3.76g·kg-1、胶质和沥青质浓度0.095g·kg-1)经过80d的堆腐处理后,黄孢原毛平革菌(PhanerochaeteChrysoporium)、采绒革盖菌(Cviolusversicolor)、木霉(Trichodermasp.)、小克银汉(Cunninghamellasp.)、曲霉(Aspergillussp.)、镰刀菌(Fusariumsp.)对特稠油有较好的降解效果,降解率分别为20.40%、19.14%、22.46%、15.88%、16.48%和14.95%。但仅采绒革盖菌和小克银汉对胶质+沥青质有一定的去除效果,其降解率分别达到11.47%和11.58%。本研究筛选的两菌株为强化难降解石油组分的去除提供了可能。

臭氧浓度升高对银杏光合作用的影响

在臭氧浓度升高条件下,采用开顶箱(OTC)方法研究了臭氧浓度升高对沈阳市主要绿化树种银杏光合生理特性的影响。结果表明,与对照相比,高浓度(80±8nmol.mol-1)臭氧处理下,银杏叶片净光合速率显著降低。处理50d时,降低幅度为33.90%(P<0.01),类胡萝卜素含量显著增加(P<0.05);叶绿素a、叶绿素b与叶绿素(a+b)含量变化复杂,叶绿素a/b值则先降低后升高;可溶性糖含量无明显变化,而淀粉含量则随着处理时间的延长显著降低;可溶性蛋白含量低于对照,并随着处理时间延长下降幅度增大;叶片中丙二醛含量随着处理时间显著增加。处理80d时,丙二醛含量增加了79.53%。光合作用的下降与叶绿素的变化无关,主要与膜脂过氧化有关。光合作用的下降导致了可溶性蛋白质和淀粉的减少,并最终导致生长缓慢。

Retinoscopía estática: variabilidad interobservadores entre docentes y estudiantes de optometría en una institución universitaria de Bogotá D.C.

Introducción: el gold estándar para el error refractivo es la retinoscopía. Los docentes de optometría al evaluar estudiantes, aceptan una diferencia de ±0,50D en la refracción pero no se ha evaluado estadísticamente si es adecuado para ametropías bajas y altas. El objetivo fue cuantificar el grado de concordancia interobservadores en retinoscopía estática entre docentes y estudiantes, para ametropías altas y bajas. Metodología: estudio de concordancia entre 4 observadores en 40 ojos, 20 con ametropías altas y 20 con bajas; muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Análisis estadístico con coeficiente de correlación intraclase, confiabilidad 95%, poder 90%, y con método gráfico de límites de acuerdo al 95%. Resultados: concordancia para el equivalente esférico entre docentes 0,96 y entre estudiantes 0,56. En estudiantes concordancia de 0,89 para defectos refractivos bajos y docentes 0,96 para defectos altos. Concordancia entre cuatro examinadores 0,78, defectos bajos 0,86 y para altos 0,67. Margen de error entre docentes ±0,87D y estudiantes ±3,15D. En defectos bajos ±0,61D para docentes y ±0,80D para estudiantes y en defectos altos ±1,10D y ±4,22D respectivamente. Discusión: hubo mayor confiabilidad en retinoscopía entre profesionales experimentados. Se comparó la concordancia entre docentes y estudiantes, por eso puede haberse encontrado menor concordancia que la descrita por otros estudios que compararon entre profesionales a pesar haber sido elegidos por sus buenas calificaciones. Se deben formular estrategias de enseñanza que permitan reducir los márgenes de error obtenidos y mejorar la concordancia entre docentes y estudiantes.

Chemical composition of rocks and minerals from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near 15°20'N

The monograph summarizes results of petrological and geochemical studies of rocks from the ocean floor collected by the authors during expeditions to the Central Atlantic. Detailed work in the Capa Verde transform fault zone gave a large amount of new information about magmatic and hydrothermal systems of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Refractive errors associated with tilted optic discs:a prospective study

Purpose: Tilted disc syndrome has been described to be associated with obliquely directed long axis of the disc, oblique direction of vessels, retinal pigment epithelial conus, hypoplasia of retina, visual field defects and myopic astigmatism. This prospective study looks at corneal astigmatism in eyes with a tilted optic disc. Refractive errors in these eyes were also analyzed. Methods: Patients with tilted optic discs were identified prospectively by clinical evaluation (BI, VK). All the patients with obliquely directed long axis of the disc, oblique direction of vessels and retinal pigment epithelial conus were included in the study. Best corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, optic disc measurements, keratometry and refraction were recorded. Results: Twenty four patients (41 eyes) were recruited for the study. Eighteen (75%) patients had bilateral tilted optic discs. Eighteen patients (75%) were females and six (25%) were males. The mean age was 62 years(range 9 – 86 years). 76% of the patients were myopic and 24% hypermetropic. The mean spherical equivalent was –7.49 dioptres (SD 1.7D, range +6D to -17D). The mean corneal astigmatism was 1.09D (SD 0.9D, range 0.25D to 3.80D). The 6 patients who had unilateral, untilted discs were used as a control group to compare their mean corneal astigmatism (1.32 D) with the rest. Student "t" test was performed. ("p" = 0.49). Conclusions: In our study, tilted disc syndrome was found to be largely bilateral and more commonly seen in females. Myopia was the commonest refractive error associated with this clinical condition. However, 24% of patients in this series were hypermetropic. No correlation between the tilting of the optic disc and significant corneal astigmatism was noted as previously reported.
