Abstract

In order to analyze the influence of the lateral size of graphene oxide (GO) on the properties of natural rubber/graphene oxide (NR/GO) nanocomposites, three different sized graphene oxide sheets, namely G1, G2 and G3 were used to fabricate a series of NR/GO nanocomposites by latex mixing. The results indicate that adding GO can remarkably increase the modulus of NR. The enhancement of modulus is strongly dependent on the size of GO sheets incorporated. G1 with smallest sheet size gives the maximum reinforcement effect compared with G2 and G3. Dynamic mechanical measurement and swelling ratios (Qf/Qg) indicate that G1 has stronger interfacial interaction with NR. XRD shows G1 is more effective in accelerating the strain-induced crystallization (SIC) of NR. The strong interfacial interaction facilitates the stress transfer and strain-induced crystallization, both of which lead to the improved modulus.

Abstract

A proper cryogenic environment is essential for the operation of superconducting devices. A test area for the superconducting radio-frequency modules (SRF) has been established in the RF laboratory at National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center in Taiwan; these modules require much liquid helium during conditioning and performance tests; a cooling capacity of 120 W is expected for the acceptance test of the SRF module. The cryogenic environment of the test area is completed on transferring the liquid helium over a remarkable length of 205 m from the two cryogenic plants at Taiwan Light Source, with a valve box located at each end to control and to measure the cryogenic flow. Flexible cryogenic transfer lines of concentric four-tube type are chosen for both the supply of liquid helium and the return of cold helium gas. Functional examination of this long transfer system was first achieved with a 500-L Dewar in the radio-frequency laboratory; an SRF module was then installed in the test area for practical operation. The primary concern about the cryogenic transfer system is the heat loss; a measurement technique based on the principle of thermodynamics is developed and proposed herein. With the available sensors inside the valve boxes and the heaters inside the 500-L Dewar and the test SRF module, this technique has proved promissing from the measured results.

Abstract

Experiments are carried out here to measure the evaporation heat transfer coefficient hr and associated frictional pressure drop ΔPf in a vertical plate heat exchanger for refrigerant R-410A. The heat exchanger consists of two vertical counterflow channels which are formed by three plates whose surface corrugations have a sine shape and a chevron angle of 60 deg. Upflow boiling of refrigerant R-410A receives heat from the hot downflow of water. In the experiments, the mean vapor quality in the refrigerant channel is varied from 0.10 to 0.80, the mass flux from 50 to 100 kg/m2s, and the imposed heat flux from 10 to 20 kW/m2 for the system pressure fixed at 1.08 and 1.25 MPa. The measured data indicate that both hr and ΔPr increase with the refrigerant mass flux except at low vapor quality. In addition, raising the imposed heat flux is found to significantly improve hr for the entire range of the mean vapor quality. However, the corresponding friction factor ftp is insensitive to the imposed heat flux and refrigerant pressure. Based on the present data, empirical correlations are provided for hr and ftp, for R-410A in the plate heat exchanger.

Abstract

Ground water in both the northeastern and southwestern coast areas of Taiwan may contain high concentrations of arsenic. Since no central water supply system is available in some of those areas, point-of-use (POU) water purification devices are considered as an option for providing safe drinking water. In this study, removal of arsenic, using two types of POU purification devices, reverse osmosis (RO) systems and distillers, was investigated. Three commercially available RO systems and two distillers were selected to test their removal efficiency of arsenic from synthetic and real ground water. Experimental results of the three RO systems using synthetic ground water showed that only one system had good removal efficiency for arsenic. In subsequent experiments using real ground water with 0.7 mg l(-1) arsenic, only one RO system was able to meet the drinking water standard after producing about 1,000 l of treated water. For the distilling systems, 99% of the arsenic was removed from both synthetic and real groundwater. The arsenic concentrations in the finished water of both distillers were all below the standard for drinking water. Although systems with higher arsenic removal efficiency seemed to have better removal of total dissolved solids (TDS), no correlation could be found after analysis.

Abstract

Recommissioning the 700-W helium cryogenic system was completed in 2014 and it entered service in 2015. The main target of this system is a stable supply of liquid helium to the superconducting RF cavities at Taiwan Photo Source. The annual maintenance of the compressor of the plant causes operation of the system to be suspended at least two weeks. To avoid such a long suspension for the cryogenic plant, we installed a redundant compressor system for the cryogenic plant in 2015. We can switch to this redundant compressor system and restart the cryogenic system in a few minutes. In this paper we present the configuration, local testing and long-term operation of this redundant compressor system.

Abstract

An amplitude analysis of the D+, Ds+ → π−π+π+ Dalitz plots is presented using data collected by the Fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687. The data are fitted to a model consisting of a sum of relativistic Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the intermediate two-body resonant decay modes plus a flat non-resonant contribution. From the fit we derive decay fractions and relative phases. We also present measurements of Γ(D + →π − π + π + ) Γ(D + →K − π + π + ) and Γ(D s + →π − π + π + ) Γ(D s + →K − K + π + ) .

Abstract

We report on the results of a search for fourteen flavor changing neutral current, lepton number violating, or lepton family number violating decays of the charmed meson D + in the large charm sample recorded by the Fermilab photoproduction experiment E687. No evidence is seen for these rare and standard-model-forbidden decays, of the form D + → h ± l ∓ l + (with h = π , K and l = e , μ ); we determine 90% confidence level upper limits on their absolute branching fractions in the range (9–20) × 10 −5 .

Abstract

To investigate the function of the auditory efferent system in patients with chronic idiopathic tinnitus, but normal pure-tone audiograms.We studied 15 subjects with normal hearing that had experienced either unilateral or bilateral persistent tinnitus for at least 3 months. The ears of the 15 subjects were classified into tinnitus-positive-ear (TPE) and tinnitus-negative-ear (TNE) groups. The control-ear group (CE) comprised the ears of 15 subjects with normal hearing and no tinnitus. We measured different types of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), including spontaneous (SOAEs), transient evoked (TEOAEs), and distortion product (DPOAEs). We also analyzed contralateral suppression of OAEs and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). Data were compared among TPE, TNE, and CE groups.The data associated with cochlear mechanics, including the prevalence of SOAEs, the number of SOAE peaks, and the overall TEOAE responses in the absence of a contralateral stimulus, were not significantly different among the TPE, TNE, and CE groups. In the TPE group, contralateral stimuli failed to significantly suppress overall TEOAEs, and contralateral suppression of DPOAEs was significantly reduced over a limited frequency range. Furthermore, the TPE group showed prolonged latencies in waves III and V of ABRs.This study demonstrated that abnormal contralateral suppression of OAEs and ABRs indicated a dysfunction in the ipsilateral efferent medial olivocochlear system; this might play a role in normal-hearing tinnitus.

Abstract

An experimental investigation was carried out to study the augmentation of heat transfer in saturated pool boiling of a liquid water layer on a heated horizontal stainless steel plate by roughing the surface and/or covering it with a single layer of stainless steel screen. The results were presented in terms of the boiling curves. Effects of various parameters – the surface roughness, liquid level and size of the stainless steel mesh on the boiling heat transfer were examined in detail. The measured data clearly indicated that a lowering of the liquid level from 60 to 5 mm in water depth causes heat transfer reduction. Roughing the surface was found to sig- nificantly enhance the heat transfer. Use a layer of metal screen to cover the heated surface was shown to substantially augment the heat transfer especially for a shallow water layer if the mesh size is comparable with the bubble departure diameter. Covering the rough surface with the metal mesh, however, reduced the heat transfer.

Abstract

We report measurements of charm particle production asymmetries from the Fermilab photoproduction experiment E687. An asymmetry in the rate of production of charm versus anticharm particles is expected to arise primarily from fragmentation effects. We observe statistically significant asymmetries in the photoproduction of D+, D ∗+ and D0 mesons and find small (but statistically weak) asymmetries in the production of the Ds+ meson and the Λc+ baryon. Our inclusive photoproduction asymmetries are compared to predictions from nonperturbative models of charm quark fragmentation.

Abstract

We report on the study of charm baryons decaying to Λ c + : Λ c ★+ (2625) → Λ c + π + π − , Λ c ★+ (2593) → Λ c + π + π − , Σ c 0 → Λ c + π − and Σ c ++ → Λ c + π + . We present a confirmation of the state Λ c ∗+ (2593) and determine its mass difference to be M ( Λ c ★+ (2593)) − M ( Λ c + ) = 309.2 ± 0.7 ± 0.3 MeV/ c 2 . We determine the lower limit on the resonant branching ratio to be BR (Λ c ★+ (2593) → Σ c π ± Λ c ★+ (2593) → Λ c + π + π − ) > 0.51 (90% c.l.). We also measure the mass differences M ( Σ c 0 ) − M ( Λ c + ) = 166.6±0.5±0.6 MeV/ c 2 and M ( Σ c ++ ) − M ( Λ c + ) = 167.6±0.6±0.6 MeV/ c 2 . Finally, we measure the relative photoproduction cross sections for Λ c ★+ and Σ c with respect to the (inclusive) photoproduction cross section for Λ c + .

Abstract

Fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687 provides a high statistics sample of the decay mode D + → K ∗0 μ + ν (charge conjugates are implied). Our analysis yields a branching ratio of Γ (D + → K ∗0 μ + ν) Γ (D + → K − π + π + ) = 0.56±0.04±0.06 . The ratios of the form factors governing the decay are measured to be R ν = 1.74 ±0.27±0.28 and R 2 = 0.78±0.18±0.10, implying a polarization of Γ l Γ t = 1.20±0.13 ±0.13 for the electron decay. Finally, we report new limits on the decay modes D + → K − π + μ + ν (nonresonent) and D + → K ∗0 π 0 μ + ν .

Abstract

This article discusses analytical and experimental studies of a helical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) seawater thruster (or pump) device using a 12-T superconducting solenoid magnet. This magnet is situated and the experiments are conducted at Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Analytical models are developed to predict the performance of the helical MHD thruster in a closedloop environment. The analytical results are compared with experimental data and good agreement is obtained. A significant increase in MHD energy conversion efficiency compared to the same thruster at lower magnetic field strengths (6-8 T) is realized. A significant increase in the maximum fluid velocity, from 2.5 m/s at the 8T electromagnet, to 3.7 m/s, is also realized. For the first time in our experimental MHD thruster studies, a gross mechanical efficiency greater than 10% is observed.

Abstract

We report the results of a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decays D+ → K+K−K+ and D+ → ΦK+, and the singly Cabibbo suppressed decays Ds+ → K+K−K+ and Ds+ → ΦK+. Our measurements are all consistent with zero branching ratio, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the relative D+ branching ratios: BR(ΦK + ) BR(Φπ + ) , BR(K + K − K + ) BR(Φπ + ) and BR(K + K − K + ) BR(K − π + π + ) , and the relative Ds+ branching ratios: BR(ΦK + ) BR(Φπ + ) and BR(K + K − K + ) BR(Φπ + ) . The data were accumulated by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687.

Abstract

Ammonium salts, especially ammonium nitrate, have been used as nitrogen sources for production of traditional water-insoluble Monascus pigments. However, we noted that defined media employing NH4NO3 as the sole nitrogen source in fermentations supported only poor pigment production by Monascus sp., and the pigments produced were mainly cell-bound. NH4NO3 was found not to (a) repress pigment synthase formation, (b) enhance synthase decay, or (c) serve as a nitrogen source for pigment production by resting cells; it had a weak inhibitory effect on the action of pigment synthase(s). The high level of cell-bound did not exert a feedback effect on the further synthesis of pigments. These observations indicate that the reason why NH4NO3 supports only low pigment production during fermentations is the poor ability of NH4NO3 to donate nitrogen in the Schiff-base reaction converting orange pigments to red ones.

Abstract

We present the first measurement of the lifetime of the Ω c 0 baryon. The data were collected in the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. The measured lifetime is τ = 86−20+27(stat.) ± 28(syst.) fr. Thus the Ω c 0 has one of the shorter lifetimes among the weakly decaying singly charmed baryons.

Abstract

Amplitude analyses of the D+ and Ds+ → K+K−π+ Dalitz plots are presented using data collected by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. Our data are fit to a model consisting of a sum of Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the intermediate two-body resonant decay modes. We extract decay fractions and relative phases. These results are used to infer new branching ratios for D+ → K+K−π+ inclusive as well as the Φπ+ and K ∗ (892) 0 K + channels.

Abstract

The transition to 450 mm wafer manufacturing has already become a development trend for the semiconductor industry. To handle the larger wafer size, the conveyor-based automated material handling system (AMHS) is considered as the next-generation transportation. However, there is not any effective method for handling prioritized lots for 450 mm conveyor-based AMHS. This study developed an effective dispatching method named the “conveyor preemptive dispatching” (CPD) method for conveyor-based AMHS to minimize the average variable time of hot lots with the minimum impact to the transport of normal lots. Experiment results revealed that the CPD demonstrates better performance than the existing method. The CPD method reduced the average variable time by 59 % (from 14.572 to 5.904 s) for hot lots and 31 % (from 3962.394 to 2741.889 s) for normal lots. It expedites the movement of lots and significantly reduces lot average variable time and will effectively enhance the throughput of lots transportation.

Abstract

We report the results of a search for [ital CP]-violating decay rate asymmetries ([ital A][sub [ital CP]]) in the charm decay modes [ital D][sup +][r arrow][ital K][sup [minus]][ital K][sup +][pi][sup +], [ital D][sup +][r arrow][ital [bar K]][sup *0][ital K][sup +], [ital D][sup +][r arrow][phi][pi][sup +], and [ital D][sup 0][r arrow][ital K][sup +][ital K][sup [minus]]. Our measurements are all consistent with zero asymmetry: [ital A][sub [ital CP]]([ital KK][pi])=[minus]0.031[plus minus]0.068, [ital A][sub [ital CP]]([ital K][sup *][ital K])=[minus]0.12[plus minus]0.13, [ital A][sub [ital CP]]([phi][pi])=0.066[plus minus]0.086, and [ital A][sub [ital CP]]([ital KK])=0.024[plus minus]0.084.

Abstract

The formation of soluble Monascus red pigments is strongly positively and negatively regulated by different amino acids. Leucine, valine, lysine, and methionine had strong negative effects on pigment formation. Leucine supported poor pigment formation when used as sole nitrogen source in fermentations, yet it neither repressed pigment synthase(s) nor inhibited its action. The new pigments derived from the hydrophobic leucine were more hydrophilic than the conventional red pigments (lacking an amino acid side-chain) and were extracellularly produced. Therefore, the low level of red pigments produced when leucine was the nitrogen source was not due to feed-back regulation by cell-bound leucine pigments. The negative effect of leucine was caused by enhanced decay of pigment synthase(s). The enhanced decay was not due simply to de novo synthesis of a leucine-induced protease.

Abstract

Analysis of three D → Kππ Dalitz plots is presented using data collected by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. Our data are fit to a model consisting of a sum of Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the intermediate two-body resonant decay modes and a constant term for the nonresonant contribution. We extract branching fractions and relative phases and compare them to the results obtained in other experiments. Although this model qualitatively reproduces many features of our data, statistically significant discrepancies are observed in some of our fits.

Abstract

The fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687 provides a sample of approximately 90 events of the decay mode D+s→ φμ+ ν. The ratios of the form factors governing the decay are measured to be Rv=1.8±0.9±0.2 and R2= 1.1±0.8±0.1, implying a polarization of Г 1 /Г t = 1.0±0.5±0.1 for the electron decay, consistent with our measurement of the form factor for the decay D + → K ∗0 μ + ν .

Abstract

We report a measurement of the relative branching ratio of two Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes: D 0 → π − π + and D 0 → K − K + . The data were accumulated in the 1990–1991 fixed target run of Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. The branching ratios of these modes relative to the Cabibbo-allowed decay D 0 → K − π + are also presented. The relative branching ratios are measured to be Γ ( D 0 → KK )/ Γ ( D 0 → ππ ) = 2.53 ± 0.46 ± 0.19, Γ ( D 0 → KK )/ Γ ( D 0 → Kπ ) = 0.109 ± 0.007 ± 0.009, and Γ ( D 0 → ππ )/ Γ ( D 0 → Kπ ) = 0.043 ± 0.007 ± 0.003.

Abstract

A resting cell system was developed for the biosynthesis of soluble red pigments byMonascus. The medium contains glucose, glycine, ZnSO4 and MnSO4 in pH 7.0 MOPS buffer containing cycloheximide to prevent protein synthesis. The linear production observed over a period of at least four h was due to de novo polyketide synthesis and biological methylation, as shown by inhibition with cerulenin, iodoacetamide and ethionine. Production was inhibited by carbonyl reagents and stimulated by pyridoxamine suggesting that the conversion of endogenous intracellular orange pigments to extracellular red pigments involves Schiff base intermediates and vitamin B6 a cofactor. The resting cell system was used to study the mode of action of nutritional effectors previously pinpointed by experiments with growing cells. The negative effects of high concentrations of phosphate and Mg++ are due to inhibition of pigment synthase action, not to repression or inactivation of these enzymes. The positive effects of trace metals, especially Zn++, are due to stimulation of growth and enzyme action, not to induction or stabilization of the synthases.

We report evidence for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay of the charm baryon Λ c + into the final state pK − K + . The analysis is performed on data collected by high energy photoproduction experiment E687 during the 1990–1991 Fermilab fixed target run. The branching ratio of the decay Λ c + → pK − K + relative to the non-suppressed Λ c + → pK − π + is measured to be BR( pK − K + / pK − π + ) = 0.096 ± 0.029 ± 0.010.

Abstract

Fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687 measures a branching ratio of Γ ( D S + → φμ + ν ) / Γ ( D S + → φμ + ) = 0.58 ± 0.17 (stat) ± 0.07 (sys). This branching ratio is combined with theoretical inputs to obtain a new measurement of the D S + absolute branching ratio of Γ ( D S + → φμ + ) / Γ ( D S + → all) = 0.031 ± 0.009 (stat 0.005 (sys) ± 0.004 (theoretical).

Abstract

The magnetic spectrometer and charged particle tracking system used in Fermilab experiment 687 to study the photoproduction and decay of charm particles are described in detail. The photons are produced by a wideband electron beam which can operate at energies up to 600 GeV/ c . The spectrometer consists of a high resolution silicon microstrip detector, a large aperture dipole magnet, proportional chambers, a second large aperture dipole, and more proportional chambers. Three multi-cell threshold Cherenkov counters provide charged particle identification. The tracking system is capable of resolving the secondary decay vertices of charm and beauty mesons and baryons from the primary interaction vertex. It also determines the invariant mass of the multibody final states of particles containing heavy quarks with excellent resolution. The particle identification system allows one to identify kaons and protons present in these final states clearly. This collection of detectors produces very clean signals for charm particles and permits one to make many cross checks of the apparatus. The performance is illustrated for a variety of charm signals. Of particular interest is a description of the tracking through the silicon microstrip detector and its use in isolating downstream decay vertices. Two complementary approaches to the reconstruction of secondary decay vertices are presented and insight is gained by comparing their strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract

New water-soluble red pigments were produced byMonascus sp. in a chemically defined fermentation medium containing glutamate as nitrogen source. They were isolated and characterized as glutamate derivatives of the well-known orangeMonascus pigments (monascorubrin and rubropunctatin). The new pigments have several advantages over the known redMonascus pigments (rubropunctamine and monascorubramine) including very high water-solubility, higher absorption coefficient, and greater resistance to decoloration by light. Adding glutamate, glycine or leucine to a resting-cell system led to the formation of specific water-soluble red pigments corresponding to the exogenous amino acid. The water-soluble red pigments produced by resting-cells have retention times identical to those of the corresponding red derivatives made chemically from the orange pigments in methanol-phosphate buffer at pH 7. The hydrophobicities of the amino acid sources correspond to the HPLC retention times of the red pigments derived from them.
