The s pectral properties of Nd 3+∶Sr 6YSc(BO 3) 6 crystal were investigated. Using Judd-Ofelt theory to ana lyze the optical strength measured in absorption spectrum, the following spectr al parameters were obtained: parameters of oscillator strengths Ω λ are Ω 2=1.194×10 -20 cm2, Ω 4=4.186×10 -20 cm2 and Ω 6=3.3 51×10 -20 cm2. The radiative lifetime is 322 μs, and the fluorescence b ranch ratios were calculated: β 1=0.465, β 2=0.453, β 3=0.079 and β 4=0.004. The results indicate that Nd 3+∶Sr 6YSc(BO 3) 6 c rystal seems to be a potential high-efficient laser material.展开更多

As results indicate that, given the proper structure parameters, the output of the extruder can be increased with low energy consumption and stable temperature. Furthermore, the mixing effect will be improved up to or even above that of spherical cavity mixer.展开更多

[Method] Records of yield and reproduction from 8 868 Chinese Holstein first lactation cows from 21 herds were utilized to evaluate genetic parameters for Heilongjiangs' Chinese Holsteins. Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) method was used with an animal model. [Result] The heritabilities were 0.16 to 0.34 for yields and fat percentage, 0.38 for reproduction (age at the first freshening), which were similar to estimates for temperate areas from similar methods, except for constituent percentage. Also, the estimates of genetic correlation were high between milk yield and fat yield (0.97), but were low between milk yield and fat percentage (-0.24), age at the first freshening (-0.29) and generally antagonistic. [Conclusion] Thus, estimates of genetic parameters in this frigid and frigid-temperate environment did not differ appreciably from those that occur in temperate dairy areas.展开更多

Recent advances in coherence tomography have also revealed that skin aging affects in vivo epidermal keratinocyte architecture. However, the interconnectivity between spatial architectural aging and visual/physiological aging parameters remains largely unknown. Purpose: To elucidate whether the tomographic keratinocyte architectural aging is correlated with visual and physiological skin aging parameters and to quantitatively evaluate the improvements of the architectural, visual, and physiological aging parameters by the daily treatment of the skin care formula containing Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (GFF, 8X Pitera<sup>TM</sup>). Method: We measured the in vivo keratinocyte cellular architecture with two-photon stereoscopic tomography obtaining by-layer epidermal section images in 78 Asian females of various ages. Visual aging parameters were analyzed using a portable image capture system. Hydration and TEWL were also assessed. The anti-aging effects of GFF-containing skin moisturizer (SK-II LXP Cream<sup>TM</sup>) were also examined in two studies after twice-daily application for 2 (N = 35) and 4 (N = 32) weeks. Results: As for the keratinocyte cellular architecture, skin aging was significantly associated with decreased cell density and increased cell uniformity. These architectural aging parameters were significantly correlated with visual and physiological aging parameters, namely, rough texture, wrinkles, pore dilation, dull skin tone, dehydration, and increased TEWL. The strong interconnectivity allowed us to develop formulae to estimate the keratinocyte architecture from visual aging parameters. Moreover, twice-daily application of SK-II significantly improved the keratinocyte architecture associated with multiple skin aging visual and physiological parameters. Conclusion: Skin aging is a process involving mutual interconnections among epidermal keratinocyte cellular architecture, visual, and physiological parameters. The GFF-containing moisturizer SK-II effectively improves spatial architecture of keratinocytes in epidermis and these evaluated skin aging parameters in a new trajectory over the course of treatment. .展开更多

The inversed velocity structure does primarily reflect some important features of the deep structure in the region and provide the scientific background for the further study of active tectonic structure and the calculation of earthquake parameters.展开更多
