摘要:Sulfur is considered to be the forth important nutrient element,and its transformation greatly affects the growth of plants.In this paper,sulfur speciation in different soils is researched.Effects of long-term fertilization in different combinations were studied by sulfur K-edge XANES of the soil samples,and the proportions of S at different oxidation states were determined by fitting the sulfur K-edge XANES spectra.The results indicate that the soil samples contained all kinds of sulfur states,i.e.the most reduced S,intermediate S and highly oxidized S,with the highly oxidized S being the largest proportion.The contents of total sulfur are different in soils in different long-term fertilizer experiment,and both the rates and contents of different oxidation states change.
摘要:As the use of private protocols becomes popular in distributed data acquisition system,it is urgent to test interfaces of these systems.The interfaces cannot be tested by general communication protocol testing equipments,so a simple strategy of how to develop an efficient custom interface testing system with a testing module based on PC is proposed.In this paper,we focus on the design and implementation of how to realize an interface testing module based on ARM.Analyses of the interface characteristics,basic structure and software processes of the interface testing module,and application method of interface testing with the PC and the interface testing module,are discussed.Experimental results show that the custom interface testing system well meets the testing requirements.This proposes a way to do a rapid development of custom interface testing systems.

摘要:GaN samples (no yellow luminescence) in their as-grown states were implanted with 1013-1017 C ions/cm2 and studied by photoluminescence spectra and micro-Raman scattering spectra.The photoluminescence study showed that yellow luminescences were produced in the C-implanted GaN after 950°C annealing,and the peaks of the near band edge emissions showed blue-shifts after C implantation.The Raman measurements indicated that the stresses in GaN films did not change after C implantation.The samples implanted with 1015 cm-2 carbon ions had the Raman peak at 300 cm-1,which is associated to the disorder-activated Raman scattering.However,further increasing the implantation dose resulted decreased intensity of the 300 cm-1 peak,due to the ion beam current increase with the implantation dose.

摘要:The efficiency matrix calculation of tomographic gamma scanning technique can be affected severely by HPGe crystal model used in the Monte Carlo simulation.With the producer-provided dead layer thickness,the calculated detector efficiency is up to 119% larger than the measured efficiency.By adjusting the dead layer thickness,the relative error could be minimized.A linear correlation between the dead layer thickness and the average relative error was established.With the corrected geometry of HPGe detector,the spatial efficiency of the detector under the radioactive point source is studied and the function,which could be used to calculate the efficiency matrix quickly between the detection efficiency,radiation energy and the position of the point source.

摘要:MgB4O7 phosphors doped with Mn and Dy were prepared,and thermoluminescence spectra were observed.The results based on the thermoluminescence spectra show that the glow peaks located in 580 nm broad wavelength band were observed at 180°C and 300°C for MgB4O7:Mn,and the ones of 480,580,680 and 750 nm due to the energy transitions of Dy3+ were observed at 200°C and 350°C for MgB4O7:Dy.It was found that for MgB4O7 co-doped with 0.5 mol% Dy and 0.05-1.0 mol% Mn,the peaks of 480,680 and 750 nm became weak,and so did the low temperature peaks,while the peak of 580 nm at 350°C became stronger,and broader.

摘要:X-rays produced by medical accelerator have been widely used in radiotherapy.During the process of therapy,a certain level of photonuclear neutrons are produced by the (γ,n) and (γ,2n) reactions of the X-rays and surrounding materials.The neutron dose distribution caused by the Prim μs-M linac at 15 MV in the standard exposure field of 10 cm×10 cm was M-C simulated,and measured at the treatment plane by CR-39 solid state nuclear track detector and neutron bubble detector (NBD).The results show that the measured neutron doses are lower than the simulated ones by up to 30%.The main reason for this difference is that the neutrons with energies below 100 keV produced by inelastic scattering of fast neutrons with surrounding materials are below the threshold energies of both detectors,and thus not detected.These results provide some basis for the optimal design of the facility shielding aiming at controllable and minimized contaminating neutron dose.

摘要:Amorphous structure transformation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) irradiated by 70 keV protons at room temperature was investigated.It was found that some of the proton-irradiated MWCNTs were covered with homogeneous amorphous structure with the inner tube walls in graphite structure.Moreover,the amorphous structure continuously proceeds and the graphite structure was reduced during the proton irradiation until the irradiated MWCNTs become amorphous nanowires with a hollow structure.The proton-induced structural transformation of MWCNTs was a unique graphite-to-amorphous structural transition from the outer walls to the inner walls of the irradiated MWCNTs.The structural evolutionary mechanism of proton-beam-irradiated MWCNTs has been discussed.
摘要:The reconstruction to the electron dose map in radiation therapy was investigated by constructing the inversion model of electron dose map with different algorithms.The inversion model of electron dose map based on nonlinear programming was used,and this model was applied the penetration dose map to invert the total space one.The realization of this inversion model was by several inversion algorithms.The test results with seven samples show that except the NMinimize algorithm,which worked for just one sample,with great error,though,all the inversion algorithms could be realized to our inversion model rapidly and accurately.The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm,having the greatest accuracy and speed,could be considered as the first choice in electron dose map inversion.Further tests show that more error would be created when the data close to the electron range was used (tail error).The tail error might be caused by the approximation of mean energy spectra,and this should be considered to improve the method.The time-saving and accurate algorithms could be used to achieve real-time dose map inversion.By selecting the best inversion algorithm,the clinical need in real-time dose verification can be satisfied.
摘要:This work is aimed at developing a compact gamma camera module of high spatial resolution,based on block scintillation crystal coupling with position sensitive photomultiplier (PSPMT).Monte Carlo simulation was used to study the shrinkage effect and intrinsic spatial resolution of miniature gamma camera module with crystal parameters.The readout electronics and the position determination method of the PSPMT were improved by using a novel truncated center-of-gravity method.Imaging experiments were performed to evaluate our design.The results demonstrate that readout circuit with truncated center-of-gravity (TCOG) can restrict the shrinkage effect;the spatial resolution and shrinkage effect of crystal are improved with reduced thickness and increased light output.It can be concluded that a crystal wafer coupled to PSPMT will have 1-2 mm intrinsic resolution,hence a high cost-effective solution compared to crystal array design.

摘要:Stability in vitro,lipophility and acute toxicity of p-Boc-Trp-Trp-NH(CH2)6NH-PO (ONH4)-O-Ph131I are studied in this work.The complex,with labeling yield of around 85%,was obtained using sealed-tube method.Stability of the complex was obtained by measuring labeling yield at different time.Its lipophility was studied through swaging-flask method,and its impacts to liver function and peripheral blood of the experimental animals were also studied.The results indicate the complex is lipophilic and less toxic,and the iodine removal rate was about 13% three days later.The rabbit model with VX2 liver tumor was established successfully.The organ and tissue uptake and retention of p-Boc-Trp-Trp-NH(CH2)6NH-PO(ONH4)-O-Ph131I were studied in a model subject.Blood,liver,lungs,kidneys,spleen and tumour tissue samples were assayed in a well counter for radioactivity and the results were compared with the biodistribution studies in five normal mice.The complex trends to concentrate into adipose tissues in tumour-bearing and normal animals,and the uptake rate in tumor tissue is relatively high,hence its potential possibility as radiopharmaceuticals.But it cleared quickly.Further researches are underway to improve the stability of complexes to prolong concentration time in target tissue.

摘要:In radiotherapy treatment planning,in order to delivery of a high dose to the tumor accurately while maintaining an acceptably low dose to the normal tissues,particularly those adjacent to the target,it is necessary to reconstruct the three dimensional anatomical structure from planar contour information.The existing methods could not satisfy the clinical demand in terms of the speed and accuracy.By improving the isosurface extraction algorithm,we designed a fast 3D-reconstruction algorithm pipeline implemented by Visualization Tool Kit (VTK).A serial of test results from real patient image dataset show that this method could reconstruct the surface smoothly and evade the "ladder effect" effectively.The number of points and triangles had been reduced in great extent.The rendering time had been decreased from 8 seconds to less than 3 seconds by comparing with standard iso-extraction algorithm.On the premise of preserving the original anatomical structure,this method improved the reconstruction effect,accelerated the rendering speed and it would be applied to not only accurate radiotherapy treatment planning system but also other fields that need 3D reconstruction.

摘要:In order to observe impact of PET/CT on precise and accurate radiotherapy (PAR) planning of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),21 patients with NSCLC had CT and FDG-hybrid PET examinations prospectively in radiation treatment position.Five radiation oncologists delineated independently the GTV including positive lymph nodes of 21 lung cancer patients on CT.The same observers delineated the GTV of the 21 patients on matched PET/CT scans.The size of GTV and coefficient of variation were used to assess inter-observer variability.The results show that all patients’ GTVCT differed from their GTVPET/CT,and the variability in the contouring of GTVCT among different physicians was statistically significant (F=9.25,P<0.001),but less significant in the contouring of GTVPET/CT.The mean coefficient of variation for GTV based on PET/CT was significantly smaller (t=-7.46,P<0.001) than that for CT data only.It van be concluded that PET/CT may have notable impact on clinical staging of NSCLC and on its PAR planning,and will result in a reduction in this variation of the contouring of GTVs among different radiation oncologists.

摘要:In this paper,an empirical formula for the efficiency calibration of bulky source in cylindrical geometry is proposed.The simple but accurate empirical formula is able to effectively predict the efficiencies of summing effect free γ-rays from a cylindrical bulky source (Φ30 mm × 40 mm) at different source-to-detector distance.The relative difference between experimental and calculated data at 0,20,40,and 80 mm source-to-detector distances is smaller than 5%.
