基于OpenMC制作轻水堆中子少群截面用于OpenMOC计算

为了给确定论特征线程序OpenMOC提供高精度轻水堆少群截面库,研究了蒙特卡罗程序OpenMC的输出计数文件,开发了计数转换截面代码CSC,可以将OpenMC计数文件中的中子注量和各反应类型的反应率(单位体积内反应数占总反应数比率)计数进行处理得到中子少群截面。采用这种截面制作方式,制作了不同输运修正方式和不同精细程度能群的少群截面库,提供给OpenMOC计算。分析了轻水堆燃料组件和基准题结果,得到了截面库制作精度较高的方式。采用内散射近似和CASMO-40群制作了中子少群截面库,以OpenMC的计算结果为参考解,对C5G7基准题的结果做了对比。结果表明,k_(eff)偏差为322.5×10^(-5),燃料棒功率相对偏差均小于2%,组件功率相对偏差均小于1%,通过这种方式制作的轻水堆截面库精度良好。

基于大规模并行计算的三维多群中子扩散方程有限差分方法

三维多群中子扩散方程的精确、高效求解是核动力堆芯设计及燃料管理的基础。应用有限差分方法求解该方程具有简便、精确、成熟的优点;然而,该方法的计算量和存储量均较大,极大地限制了它的计算规模和应用范围。本文基于大规模并行计算,研究三维多群中子扩散方程有限差分方法:采用中心有限差分格式离散中子扩散方程;基于MPI并行编程模型,采用空间区域分解的方式实现大规模并行计算;采用多群多区域耦合PGMRES算法进行并行加速。在集群服务器上开发了ParaFiDi程序,并采用IAEA3D,PHWR等多个基准题对该程序进行验证。数值结果表明,ParaFiDi程序具有较高的计算精度和计算效率。

组件通量精细分布重构方法的有效性

在计算效率上，节块法加组件精细分布重构方法很有吸引力；而另一方面，采用不连续因子理论能使通量精细分布更合理、更准确。本文通过直接用多项式展开方法来拟合细网扩散差分方程得出的组件通量分布，验证基于多项式展开的节块法组件精细分布重构方法的有效性和适应性。通过验算发现，在常规扩散方程的意义下，精细分布重构方法的精度在重要燃料组件内可满足工程需要；但采用不连续因子理论修正扩散方程后，堆芯外围的组件以及相邻组件参数变化剧烈处的误差较大。因而，采用不连续因子理论后，组件精细分布重构方法仍需进一步完善。在现阶段，要得到准确的通量精细分布，还不能完全放弃有限差分方程。

Vegetation Evolution in the Northern South China Sea Region Since 40 ka BP - An Attempt to Reconstruct Palaeovegetation Based on Biomization

Vegetation evolution in the northern South China Sea region since 40 500 a BP is reconstructed using biomization procedure based on pollen data from deep sea core 17940. The result shows that, it is feasible to reconstruct palaeovegetation using biomization procedure, when pollen, particularly Pinus pollen, transported by mind over long distance is excluded. Results from factor analysis suggest that humidity and temperature are the two main factors determining vegetation evolution on land around the northern South China Sea. From 40 500 a BP to 11 100 a BP, broad-leaved evergreen forest (WAMF), and montane conifers(MGRF) occurred on hills and low mountains; while steppe (STEP) predominated on the exposed shelf. The main feature of the vegetation evolution is the frequent alternation between MGRF (or WAMF) and STEP, implying abrupt changes in millennium scale between humid/cold and dry/temperate climate. All abrupt climate events could be broadly correlated with Henrich events and Dansggard-Oscherge events. One of the events around 12 700 a BP, sees the occurrence of MGRF, suggesting that climate turned humid and cold rapidly. This may be correlated with the Younger Dryas event; Broad-leaved evergreen (WAMF) predominates since 11 000 a BP. During the early Holocene and late Holocene tropical rainforest (TRFO) or tropical seasonal forest (TSFO) occurred several times.

基于蒙特卡罗方法制作用于中子输运SN程序的多群截面库

在反应堆计算中,确定论计算软件如ANISN计算速度快,适合复杂的物理-热工耦合计算任务。但对于确定论计算程序,其计算精度主要受制于多群截面数据库的制作。本工作基于蒙特卡罗计算软件OpenMC制作用于确定论程序的多群截面库。首先利用OpenMC进行建模计算,然后分区分能群统计总反应率、裂变中子产生率、吸收反应率、中子通量以及高阶勒让德散射率,最后通过自主编写的Fortran截面转换程序得到BUGLE-96格式的多群截面数据。为了验证所制作截面库的可靠性,将新制作的截面库提供给ANISN程序进行基准题计算,计算结果和蒙特卡罗程序及BUGLE-96库进行对比。结果表明,基于OpenMC和自主编写的截面转换程序制作的截面库用于ANISN计算时,K^(eff)和通量与蒙特卡洛程序计算结果相吻合,并且比使用BUGLE-96库计算结果偏差更小,验证了本方法制作中子输运SN程序的多群截面库的有效性。

Intestinal microflora molecular markers of spleen-deficient rats and evaluation of traditional Chinese drugs

AIM:To find a rapid and efficient analysis method of gastrointestinal microflora in Pi-deficient(spleen-deficient) rats and to evaluate traditional Chinese drugs.METHODS:Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR(ERIC-PCR) based assay was performed to examine changes of intestinal microflora in two Pi-deficienct animal models and to evaluate the efficacy of four traditional Chinese drugs as well as a probiotic recipe and another therapy in Pi-deficient rats.RESULTS:A molecular marker was identified for Pi-deficiency in rats.The pharmacodynamic evaluation system,including identified molecular markers(net integral area and abundance of DNA bands),Shannon's index for diversity of intestinal microflora,and Sorenson's pairwise similarity coefficient,was established.The four major clinical recipes of traditional Chinese drugs for Pi-deficiency in rats,especially at their medium dose(equivalence to the clinical dose),produced more pronounced recovery activities in Pi-deficient rats,while higher doses of these recipes did not show a better therapeutic effect but some toxic effects such as perturbation deterioration of intestinal microflora.CONCLUSION:Both fingerprint analysis and identified marker can show Pi-deficiency in rats and its difference after treatment.The identified molecular marker may be applied in screening for the active compounds both in relative traditional Chinese drugs and in pharmacodynamic study of Pi-deficiency in rats.

Influence of Hyperon-Hyperon Interaction on Properties of Hadronic Star

The influences of hyperon-hyperon interaction on the overall properties of hadronic star are investigated in the framework of relativistic mean field （RMF） theory. For certain hyperon coupling, the weaker hyperon-hyperon interaction can lead to the heavier hadronic star, which accords with the observation of heavy neutron star in X-ray binaries. We find that the threshold densities of the hyperons with larger masses are brought to a lower values with the increase of the hyperon-hyperon interaction. The possibility of the existence of hyperon star is checked with the consideration of hyperon-hyperon interaction.

Chaos Particle Swarm Optimization Combined with Circular Median Filtering for Geophysical Parameters Retrieval from WindSat

This paper established a geophysical retrieval algorithm for sea surface wind vector, sea surface temperature, columnar atmospheric water vapor, and columnar cloud liquid water from WindSat, using the measured brightness temperatures and a matchup database. To retrieve the wind vector, a chaotic particle swarm approach was used to determine a set of possible wind vector solutions which minimize the difference between the forward model and the WindSat observations. An adjusted circular median filtering function was adopted to remove wind direction ambiguity. The validation of the wind speed, wind direction, sea surface temperature, columnar atmospheric water vapor, and columnar liquid cloud water indicates that this algorithm is feasible and reasonable and can be used to retrieve these atmospheric and oceanic parameters. Compared with moored buoy data, the RMS errors for wind speed and sea surface temperature were 0.92 m s^(-1) and 0.88℃, respectively. The RMS errors for columnar atmospheric water vapor and columnar liquid cloud water were 0.62 mm and 0.01 mm, respectively, compared with F17 SSMIS results. In addition, monthly average results indicated that these parameters are in good agreement with AMSR-E results. Wind direction retrieval was studied under various wind speed conditions and validated by comparing to the Quik SCAT measurements, and the RMS error was 13.3?. This paper offers a new approach to the study of ocean wind vector retrieval using a polarimetric microwave radiometer.

Nonlinear analysis of pile groups subjected to combined lateral and torsional loading

An empirical approach has been developed to analyze the nonlinear response of a pile group with arbitrarily distributed piles subjected to combined lateral and torsional loading.In this approach,the concept of instantaneous twist center is applied to analyze the displacement relationship of pile heads and establish the static equilibrium equations of the pile cap.The horizontal interaction among the individual piles is considered through the generalized p-multiplier.The coupling effect of lateral resistance on the torsional resistance of each pile is quantified using an empirical factorβ;the lateral and torsional nonlinear responses of individual piles are modeled by p-y andτ-θcurves,respectively.The proposed approach not only captures the most significant aspect of the group effect and coupling effect in a pile group subjected to combined lateral and torsional loading,but also automatically updates p-multipliers of individual piles based on pile cap displacements.The proposed approach was verified using results of model tests on pile groups subjected to lateral loading,torsional loading,and combined lateral and torsional loading,separately.In general,the pile cap response and the transfer of applied loads in the pile groups agree well with the test results.

COL4A3 mutations cause focal segmenta glomerulosclerosis

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis （FSGS） is a histologically identifiable gtomerular injury often leading to proteinuria and renal failure. To identify its causal genes, whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed on a large Chinese cohort that comprised 40 FSGS families, 50 sporadic FSGS patients, 9 independent autosomal recessive Atport＇s syndrome （ARAS） patients, and 190 ethnically matched healthy controls. Patients with extrarenal manifestations, indicating systemic diseases or other known hereditary renal diseases, were excluded. Heterozygous COL4A3 mutations were identified in five （12.5%） FSGS families and one （2%） sporadic FSGS patient. All identified mutations disrupted highly conserved protein sequences and none of them was found in either public databases or the 190 healthy controls. Of the FSGS patients with heterozygous COL4A3 mutations, segmental thinning of the glomerular base membrane （GBM） was only detected in the patient with electronic microscopy examination results available. Five ARAS patients （55.6%） had homozygous or compound-heterozygous mutations in COL4.43 or COL4A4. Serious changes in the G BM, hearing loss, and ocular abnormalities were found in 100%, 80%, and 40% of the ARAS patients, respectively. Overall, a new sub- group of FSGS patients resulting from heterozygous C01.4A3 mutations was identified. The mutations are relatively frequent in famiUes diagnosed with inherited forms of FSGS. Thus, we suggest screening for C01.4A3 mutations in familial FSGS patients.
