基于蒙特卡罗方法的XHA600D医用电子直线加速器的入射电子束参数研究

使用蒙特卡罗方法研究入射电子束参数对XHA600D医用电子直线加速器产生的剂量分布的影响,并确定优化的入射电子束参数。根据厂商提供的XHA600D加速器治疗头的几何、材料参数,使用蒙特卡罗程序EGSnrc对不同的入射电子束参数进行模拟并记录其在水模体中产生的剂量分布,将模拟结果与测量结果进行比较。模拟的入射电子束参数包括平均能量、径向强度分布、角度展宽和能量展宽;实验测量数据包括4 cm×4 cm、10 cm×10 cm、30 cm×30 cm射野条件下的百分深度剂量与离轴剂量。结果表明当入射电子束的平均能量为6 MeV、径向强度的半高宽(Full Width at Half Maximum,FWHM)为0.25 cm、角度展宽为0.15°时,模拟结果和测量结果吻合非常好。这些参数可以作为建立适用于XHA600D加速器的TPS(Treatment Planning System)剂量计算模型的基础参数。

电热爆炸粉末喷涂TiN—TiB2复合涂层

为了系统地考察湍流、射入参数、粉末颗粒特性对等离子热喷涂粉末颗粒行为的影响，应用了数字模型。使用LAVA计算机程序，首先开发了在正常操作条例上市售喷嘴的稳定等离子射流。然后设定某一种粉末（ZrO2)和在固定的射入位置条件下再引入其他多种复杂变量，以“每次一种现象”的方式，分别检测各自的影响。但为了深入的对比，将全部模拟的现象进行了最终的计算，对各单个现象的研究结果提供了关于粉末行为有价值的资料。粉末颗粒大小、射入速度、湍流和射入方向以及粉末颗粒比重分布是影响在射入方向上粉末颗粒分布的重要因素。

Practical Model of Sea Ice Thickness of Bohai Sea Based on MODIS Data

Sea ice thickness is one of the most important input parameters in the studies on sea ice disaster prevention and mitigation. It is also the most important content in remote sensing monitoring of sea ice. In this study, a practical model of sea ice thickness(PMSIT) was proposed based on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) data. In the proposed model, the MODIS data of the first band were used to estimate sea ice thickness and the difference between the second-band reflectance and the fifth-band reflectance in the MODIS data was calculated to obtain the difference attenuation index(DAI) of each pixel. The obtained DAI was used to estimate the integrated attenuation coefficient of the first band of the MODIS at the pixel level. Then the model was used to estimate sea ice thickness in the Bohai Sea with the MODIS data and then validated with the actual sea ice survey data. The validation results showed that the proposed model and corresponding parameterization scheme could largely avoid the estimation error of sea ice thickness caused by the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of sea ice extinction and allowed the error of 18.7% compared with the measured sea ice thickness.

Estimating Monthly Evaporation Using Artificial Neural Networks

Predicting evaporation rate is one of important elements for hydrology planning. There are several methods to estimate evaporation from a water surface. The objective of this study was to test the capability of artificial neural networks （ANNs） to predict evaporation using 10 years data set （1999 to 2008） from Ahvaz meteorological station and has been compared with values obtained using pan evaporation. Software Qnet 2000 has been utilized to model the evaporation. The Qnet 2000 was trained with monthly climate data （Solar radiation, minimum and maximum temperature, minimum and maximum relative humidity, and wind velocity） as input. The model was approximately implemented 144 times that finally hyperbolic secant stimulant function of 4 input parameters including minimum temperature, maximum temperature, solar radiation and wind velocity and 6 nodes in hidden layer has been yielded the best outcome. Correlation coefficients （R2） in training and testing sections are to 97.4% and 97.3% respectively. Also maximum errors in training and testing sections equaled to 18% and 24% respectively. Results showed ANNs approach works well for the data set used in this region.

Artificial Chiral Nanostructure at Oblique Incidence

We propose in this paper the design of artificial nanostructure chirality obtained by oblique illumination. This structure is based on anisotropic metamaterial having an optical activity induced by the special geometry of the pattern and the incident beam. Starting from a non-chiral material, the artificial chirality is obtained thanks to the rectangular apertures which form the periodic perfect metal nanostructure （one layer） and the oblique incidence of the light beam. An extraordinary light transmission （93%） through the metal nanostructure is achieved by exciting the cavity modes. The extrinsic chirality obtained can be granted to the desired value by appropriately adjusting the geometric parameters and the angle of incidence.

The Role of Phase Errors Distributions in Phased Array Systems Operations

A comprehensive study on the role of the phase errors distribution on the performances of the phased array systems has been led using a complete and behavioral model for radiation-pattern characteristics. The used model has many input parameters and it has a lot of features, such as parameters simulations with results analysis, unconventional two-dimensional color graph representation capability in order to show more clearly the results. The results of the study have been discussed and reported. The main achievement of this work is the demonstration that the RMS phase error is a valuable figure of merit of phased array systems but it is not sufficient to completely describe the behavior of a real system. Indeed, this work has shown how the phase errors distribution actually affects the performances of the phased arrays antennas.

Effect of Injection Parameters on Evaporation and Thermolysis Characteristics of UWS （Urea-Water-Solution） in SCR （Selective Catalytic Reduction） Systems

UWS （optimized Urea-Water Solution） injection system is required to increase the NH3 conversion efficiency of urea-based SCR （Selective Catalytic Reduction） system of modem automobiles. The focus of the current study is to do parametric studies by simulation in a three-dimensional model using CFD （Computational Fluid Dynamics） code AVL FIRE. Simulations were carried out to study the characteristics of evaporation and thermolysis UWS considering the effect of injection velocity, duration of injection, injection angle and for different types of injection. In the case of the injection velocities up to 20-50 m/sec, the ammonia concentration continues to increase. It is found that as the duration injection decreases, the concentration of ammonia increases. In case of continuous injection, the flow rate is less which results in lower velocity of injection, lesser atomization and slower evaporation resulting lesser conversion of UWS into NH3. Shorter duration of injection leads better atomization with increased velocity of injection which results in faster evaporation and thermolysis.

Parametrization of woods-saxon potential for heavy-ion systems

Several elastic scattering angular distributions of 12C from target nuclei of A≥ 39 are analyzed to extract the Woods-Saxon poten- tial parameters with the fixed imaginary potential and Coulomb radius parameters. Using the best fitted diffuseness parameters, the correlations of the real part parameters with A1/3 1 ＋ A1/3 2and incident energy are revealed, and the systematic Woods-Saxon potential parameters are presented for nucleus-nucleus interaction. The proposed potential parameters can reproduce not only the elastic scattering angular distributions induced by 12C, but also many elastic scattering angular distributions induced by the projectiles other than 12C, thus providing important inputs for the study of nuclear reactions of heavy-ion systems.
