Phosphor-organic (PO) substances with acetylcholinesterase-...The main aim for discovery and development of the neurophysiological detector was detection of the production’ seats and criminal use of poisons in warfare. Phosphor-organic (PO) substances with acetylcholinesterase-blocking effects are prohibited in warfare by international law (Geneva Protocol. https://www.un.org/disarmament/wmd/bio/1925-geneva-protocol/). Monitoring PO analogs with acetylcholinesterase-blocking effects and their degradation products in water and soil can provide clues to unlawful production sites and the possible use of POs in warfare. Attempts to analyze POs by derivatization have had a low ability to detect them. A neurophysiological detector (NPD)-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system was developed for specific detection with high detection ability. The first official presentation of our NPD was at the 3<sup>rd</sup> International Symposium on Separation in BioSciences SBS 2003: A 100 Years of Chromatography, May 13-18, 2003, in Moscow, Russia. The NPD in connection to HPLC was developed 14 years before the presentation at the SBS in 2003. Initially, NPD combined with an HPLC system was developed for intelligence services and only for use in monitoring and espionage against the unlawful production of neuroparalytic agents, as explained in this article. NPD combined with an HPLC system was developed in Umeå, Sweden, in 1987-89;the protocol was further developed in Statens Plantevern Institutt, Ås, Norway, in 1990-92. NPD may have great utility during the current period of active warfare in Europe. The initial challenge was detecting unlawful production and use of PO compounds and their metabolites that can potentially block acetylcholinesterase. The sensor in NPD can detect and monitor substances such as tabun, soman, and modern PO poisons used in military applications. This article describes the history of the development of NPD and its aim as a sensitive sensor in detecting PO substances with acetylcholinesterase-blocking effects.展开更多

文摘The solar X-ray detector(SXD)onboard the Macao Science Satellite-1B was designed to monitor solar flare bursts and to study the solar activity in the 25th solar cycle.The SXD includes two parts:a soft X-ray detection unit and a hard X-ray detection unit.Both the soft X-ray detection unit and the hard X-ray detection unit include two collimators,two X-ray detectors(a silicon drift detector and a cadmium-zinc-telluride detector),and a processing circuit.Compared with similar instruments,the energy range of the SXD is wider(1–600 ke V)and the energy resolution is better(150 e V at 5.9 ke V,12%at 59.5 ke V,and 3%at 662 keV).

文摘The multi-physics instrument(MPI)is the first user cooperative instrument at the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS).It was designed to explore the structures of complex materials at multiple scales based on the neutron total scattering technique.This imposes the requirements for the detector,including a high detection efficiency to reduce the measurement time and a large solid angle coverage to cover a wide range of momentum transfers.To satisfy these demands,a large-area array of 3He-filled linear position-sensitive detectors(LPSDs)was constructed,each with a diameter of 1 inch and pressure of 20 atm.It uses an orbicular layout of the detector and an eight-pack module design for the arrangement of 3He LPSDs,covering a range of scattering angles from 3°to 170°with a total detector area of approximately 7 m2.The detector works in air,which is separated from the vacuum environment to facilitate installation and maintenance.The characteristics of the MPI detector were investigated through Monte Carlo(MC)simulations using Geant4 and experimental measurements.The results suggest that the detectors are highly efficient in the wavelength range of the MPI,and an efficiency over 25%is achievable for above 0.1 A neutrons.A minimal position resolution of 6.4 mm full width at half maximum(FWHM)along the tube length was achieved at a working voltage of 2200 V,and a deviation below 2 mm between the real and measured positions was attained in the beam experiment.The detector module exhibited good consistency and an excellent counting rate capacity of up to 80 kHz,which satisfied the requirements of experiments with a high event rate.Observations of its operation over the past year have shown that the detector works steadily in sample experiments,which allows the MPI to serve the user program successfully.
文摘The main aim for discovery and development of the neurophysiological detector was detection of the production’ seats and criminal use of poisons in warfare. Phosphor-organic (PO) substances with acetylcholinesterase-blocking effects are prohibited in warfare by international law (Geneva Protocol. https://www.un.org/disarmament/wmd/bio/1925-geneva-protocol/). Monitoring PO analogs with acetylcholinesterase-blocking effects and their degradation products in water and soil can provide clues to unlawful production sites and the possible use of POs in warfare. Attempts to analyze POs by derivatization have had a low ability to detect them. A neurophysiological detector (NPD)-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system was developed for specific detection with high detection ability. The first official presentation of our NPD was at the 3<sup>rd</sup> International Symposium on Separation in BioSciences SBS 2003: A 100 Years of Chromatography, May 13-18, 2003, in Moscow, Russia. The NPD in connection to HPLC was developed 14 years before the presentation at the SBS in 2003. Initially, NPD combined with an HPLC system was developed for intelligence services and only for use in monitoring and espionage against the unlawful production of neuroparalytic agents, as explained in this article. NPD combined with an HPLC system was developed in Umeå, Sweden, in 1987-89;the protocol was further developed in Statens Plantevern Institutt, Ås, Norway, in 1990-92. NPD may have great utility during the current period of active warfare in Europe. The initial challenge was detecting unlawful production and use of PO compounds and their metabolites that can potentially block acetylcholinesterase. The sensor in NPD can detect and monitor substances such as tabun, soman, and modern PO poisons used in military applications. This article describes the history of the development of NPD and its aim as a sensitive sensor in detecting PO substances with acetylcholinesterase-blocking effects.
