The Influences of an Embedded Structure Fiber-Optic Radiation Dosimeter in Different SSD and Beam Field Size

With a rapidly increasing demand and widespread use of radiotherapy treatment, the subject area of in-vivo real time dose rate dosimeters has become a significant area of study. An embedded structure fiber-optic radiation dosimeter has proved to be a promising candidate to fulfil this role because of its high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and excellent light conversion efficiency. In this paper, the properties of this kind of dosimeter with respect to different SSD (Source to Surface Distance) and beam field size in a clinical Linac are studied. The characteristics of the dosimeter were evaluated by the sensor’s output intensity response in these conditions.

Rapid Synthesis of Submicrometer-sized Red Phosphor CaS∶Cu^+,Eu^( 2+) in a Microwave Field

The red phosphor materials CaS∶Cu+,Eu 2+ were firstly synthesized in a microwave field, and characterized by XRD、SEM、fluorescent spectroscopy. The experimental results of XRD and SEM show that the phosphors of CaS∶Cu+,Eu 2+ possess a spherical crystallite structure, in the submicrometer(250～500 nm) size range. Compared to the conventional high temperature solid state reaction this new synthetic technique exhibits interesting features, such as rapid reactions without other protective atmosphere,phosphors with high purity, smaller particles,and higher efficient luminescence.

Numerical analysis on the influence of rock specimen size on crack stress field

In the simulation of rupture processes of seismic sources by using either numerical method or rock mechanics experiments, improper setting of the specimen size will influence the stress field near the faults. In this study, 2D finite element method (FEM) was used to calculate the stress field of rock specimens in different sizes with fixed-size elliptic holes. The calculated stress field was compared with analytic solution for elliptic-hole problem in an infinite medium. Numerical results showed that boundary effect of a rock specimen with an elliptic hole on stress field under uniaxial compression cannot be neglected. Critical aspect ratio of the specimen is about 3:2, and critical ratio of distance between the tip of the hole and the border of specimen (d) to the major axis of the elliptic hole (l) is about 7.3. Numerical analysis on rock specimen size can provide theoretical reference for rock specimen experiments, and it is also helpful for setting of model sizes in numerical simulations of fault movement.

Distribution and exploration direction of medium-and large-sized marine carbonate gas fields in Sichuan Basin, SW China

Based on the analysis of the basic characteristics of medium-and large-sized marine gas fields in Sichuan Basin, combined with the division of major reservoir forming geological units in the marine craton stage and their control on key hydrocarbon accumulation factors, the distribution law of medium-and large-sized marine carbonate gas fields in the basin was examined and the exploration direction was pointed out. Through the analysis of the periodic stretching-uplifting background, it is concluded that five large scale paleo-rifts, three large scale paleo-uplifts, five large scale paleo erosion surfaces were formed in the marine craton stage of Sichuan Basin, and these geological units control the key reservoir forming factors of medium and large sized gas fields:(1) Large-scale paleo-rifts control the distribution of high-quality hydrocarbon generation centers.(2) The margin of large-scale paleo-rifts, high position of paleo-uplifts and paleo erosion surfaces control the distribution of high-quality reservoirs.(3) Large-scale paleo-rifts, paleo-uplifts, paleo erosion surfaces and present tectonic setting jointly control the formation of many types of large and medium-sized traps.(4) Natural gas accumulation is controlled by the inheritance evolution of traps in large geological units. Based on the comparative analysis of the distribution characteristics of medium-and large-sized gas fields and large geological units, it is proposed that the superimposition relationship between single or multiple geological units and the present structure controls the distribution of medium-and large-sized gas fields, and the "three paleo" superimposed area is the most advantageous. According to the above rules, the main exploration fields and directions of medium-and large-sized marine carbonate gas fields in Sichuan Basin include periphery of Deyang-Anyue paleo-rift, eastern margin of Longmenshan paleo-rift, margins of Kaijiang-Liangping oceanic trough and Chengkou-western Hubei oceanic trough, the high part of the subaqueous paleo-uplifts around Central Sichuan, paleo erosion surfaces of the top boundary of Maokou Formation in eastern and southern Sichuan Basin, paleo erosion surfaces of the top boundary of the Leikoupo Formation in central and western Sichuan Basin.

Simulation of size effects by a phase field model for fracture

In phase field fracture models the value of the order parameter distin- guishes between broken and undamaged material. At crack faces the order param- eter interpolates smoothly between these two states of the material, which can be regarded as phases. The crack evolution follows implicitly from the time inte- gration of an evolution equation of the order parameter, which is coupled to the mechanical field equations. Among other phenomena phase field fracture mod- els are able to reproduce crack nucleation in initially sound materials. For a 1D setting it has been shown that crack nucleation is triggered by the loss of stability of the unfractured, spatially homogeneous solution, and that the stability point depends on the size of the considered structure. This work numerically investi- gates to which extend size effects are reproduced by the 2D phase field model. Exemplarily, a finite element study of the hole size effect is performed and the simulation results are compared to exnerimental data.

Mode-Field-Diameter and the Coupling Loss between Inner and Outer Segment of Photoreceptors

The characteristics of optical waveguide of human photoreceptors play important roles in vision. The mode-field-diameter (MFD) is a very important parameter of a single-mode waveguide, and it is related to many important optical characteristics of a single-mode waveguide. Here we show that MFDs of outer segments of human foveal cones are close to the minimum values at their geometric diameter for outer segments of foveal cones. Small MFD of outer segment is important for eyes to have high spatial resolution and low interaction between neighboring cones. We propose that the ellipsoids of foveal cones act as spot size converters to reduce the coupling losses between myoids and outer segments.

Effects of different levels of compost application on amounts and distribution of organic nitrogen forms in soil particle size fractions subjected mainly to double cropping

Effects of different levels of compost application on the amounts and percentage distribution of organic N forms in whole soils and particle size fractions were investigated. Soil samples were collected from three plots: (a) F, only chemical fertilizers;(b) F+LC, chemical fertilizers plus low level of compost;(c) F+HC, chemical fertilizers plus high level of compost. Each soil sample was divided into five fractions: coarse sand-sized aggregate (CSA), medium sand-sized aggregate (MSA), fine sand-sized aggregate (FSA), silt-sized aggregate (SIA) and clay-sized aggregate (CLA) fractions. The sand fractions were subdivided into decayed plants (DP) and mineral particles (MP). The amounts of total N and different organic N forms in the whole soils as well as size fractions generally increased with increasing the amount of compost. In the whole soils, percentage distribution of non-hydrolysable-N and amino sugar-N increased by compost application while the distribution values of the hydrolysable ammonium- N and unidentified-N decreased. The application did not affect the distribution degree of amino acid-N. In the size fractions, the distribution values of most organic N forms increased in the CSA-DP, MSA-DP and FSA-DP fractions by compost application. In the CLA fractions, the amounts and percentage distribution of organic N forms were the highest, although the application caused decreases in their distribution values. These findings indicate that the CLA fraction merit close attention as an important reservoir of various organic N.

Investigations of the Sheath Effect on the Resultant Magnetic Field of a Cylindrical Monopole Plasma Antenna

The functionality of the plasma antenna has been narrowed to types and brand names only. The physics of its operation has been neglected and has stagnated technological innovations. The magnetic field in the sheath and plasma were investigated. Notable specifications were worked out in the proposed improved cylindrical monopole plasma antenna. The occurrence of femto spin demagnetization was discovered between the duration of switch on and switch off of the antenna. This phenomenon seems transient because magnetization is highest at the switch on/off point.

Microscopic Phase Field Study of the Spinodal Decomposition in Fe-Mo Alloys

The spinodal decomposition in Fe-Mo alloys is studied by microscopic phase field method based on atomic scale.The results show that critical temperature of spinodal decomposition increases with the increment of Mo content,up to a maximum value of 1340 K at the Mo content of 50%.The spinodal decomposition shows a maximum rate at the Mo content of 50% for different Fe-Mo alloys.Comparing with the interconnected microstructure without considering elastic strain energy,the microstructure arrayed alternatively along the elastic soft direction of [01] and [10] is obtained under the effects of elastic strain energy,which will changes into a special 'macrolattice' structure during subsequent coarsening stages.The coarsening of microstructure is restrained by elastic interaction generated by atomic-size difference,and a larger atomic-size difference induces a stronger restraining effect.

Particle Size Distributions and Organic-Inorganic Compositions of Suspended Particulate Matters Around the Bohai Strait

Laser in situ scattering and transmissometry(LISST) significantly improves our ability to assess particle size distribu-tion(PSD) in seawater, while wide-ranging measurements of the organic-inorganic compositions of suspended particulate matters(SPM) are still difficult by using traditional methods such as microscopy. In this study, PSD properties and SPM compositions around the Bohai Strait(China) were investigated based on the measurements by LISST in combination with hydro-biological parameters collected from a field survey in summer 2014. Four typical PSD shapes were found in the region, namely right-peak, left-peak, dou-ble-peak and negative-skew shapes. The double-peak and negative-skew shapes may interconvert into each other along with strong hydrodynamic variation. In the upper layer of the Bohai Sea, organic particles were in the majority, with inorganic particles rarely observed. In the bottom layer, SPM were the mixture of organic and inorganic matters. LISST provided valuable baseline information on size-resolved organic-inorganic compositions of SPM: the size of organic particles mainly ranged from 4 to 20 μm and 40 to 100 μm, while most SPM ranging from 20 to 40 μm were composed of inorganic sediment.

针对当前机械臂路径规划算法存在搜索随机性大、目标偏置性差和路径曲折等问题,提出了一种基于双向目标偏置的APF-informed-RRT^(∗)算法。首先在双向informed-RRT^(∗)基础上引入概率自适应的目标偏置策略,降低搜索的随机性,提高采样效率;其次针对路径扩展在双向搜索树中融入人工势场法,减少算法的迭代次数;同时在路径生长阶段,采用动态步长生长策略,即根据搜索树的扩展趋势动态调整步长,避免出现局部最优,并且加快路径搜索时间;最后针对冗余节点采用三角不等式原理进行去除,进而通过B样条曲线对路径进行平滑处理,得到最优规划路径。通过与双向RRT^(∗)、双向informed-RRT^(∗)和双向P-RRT^(∗)等算法在三维环境下进行了仿真对比实验验证,相较于双向RRT^(∗)在时间上节约了41%,在采样点数量上减少了63%;相较于双向informed-RRT∗在时间上节约了58%,在采样数量上减少了68%;相较于双向P-RRT^(∗)在时间上节约了30%,在采样数量上减少了60%。

Modeling and simulation of 3D thermal stresses of large-sized castings in solidification processes

When heavy machines and large scaled receiver system of communication equipment are manufactured, it always needs to produce large-sized steel castings, aluminum castings and etc. Some defects of hot cracking by thermal stress often appear during solidification process as these castings are produced, which results in failure of castings. Therefore predicting the effects of technological parameters for production of castings on the thermal stress during solidification process becomes an important means. In this paper, the mathematical models have been established and numerical calculation of temperature fields by using finite difference method (FDM) and then thermal stress fields by using finite element method (FEM) during solidification process of castings have been carried out. The technological parameters of production have been optimized by the results of calculation and the defects of hot cracking have been eliminated. Modeling and simulation of 3D thermal stress during solidification processes of large-sized castings provided a scientific basis, which promoted further development of advanced manufacturing technique.

Successive defects asymmetric simple exclusion processes with particles of arbitrary size

This paper uses various mean-field approaches and the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate asymmetric simple exclusion processes with particles of arbitrary size in the successive defects system. In this system, the hopping probability p （p 〈 1） and the size d of particles are not constant, Through theoretical calculation and computer simulation, it obtains the exact theoretical results and finds that the theoretical results are in agreement with the computer simulation. These results are helpful in analysing the effect of traffic with different hopping probabilities p and sizes d of particle.

The Size of a Photon

This paper begins by exploring a useful and neglected detail of a photon—its physical size perpendicular to the direction of propagation in the same way as an atom or neutron has a physical size. Such a photon size would be quite separate from the cross-section of a photonic interaction, which depends on the material interacting. Such a perpendicular dimension of a photon will be invariant under Lorentz transform parallel to the light propagation direction and will thus be the same for all frequencies of light. This study also leads to new details about how a photon interacts, offering an explanation for the familiar physics where light slightly above and below the mean frequency of an excited state can still excite the same state without violation of conservation of energy—a mystery explored thoroughly in a previous paper without finding the solution offered here. As usual, a better elucidation of the details of light interaction also leads to new insights—especially about the vacuum field. The Appendix summarizes some previous research relevant to this

激光粉末床熔融WC-12Co硬质合金温度场模拟

结合有限元软件ANSYS建立三维有限元热模型,利用APDL命令及生死单元方法实现对高斯热源的施加和WC-12Co硬质合金打印过程的模拟,得到WC-12Co硬质合金在激光粉末床熔融(LPBF)成形过程中的温度场分布,研究不同工艺参数(激光功率、扫描速度)对温度场分布及熔池特征的影响。结果表明:WC-12Co硬质合金在LPBF过程成形时,利用有限元能够有效模拟其成形过程。位于热源前部的等温线比尾部更为密集,温度梯度更大;而扫描路径终端边缘处熔池中心的温度最高。随着激光功率的增大和扫描速度的减小,熔池宽度、深度和长度均相应增大。通过相关实验分析不同工艺参数对晶粒尺寸的影响,发现晶粒尺寸随扫描速度的增加而减小,随激光功率的增加而增大;但过高的激光功率会引起一定的热裂纹现象发生。
