AbstractThe pinch process of plasma columns generated by capillary discharge is studied theoretically with a snow-plow model. The multiple pinch evolution of plasma is obtained from the theoretical results. The effects of pressure and current amplitude on multiple pinches are calculated, and the results show that the pinch time decreases nonlinearly with decreasing pressure or increasing current. In the experiment, the laser spike of Ne-like Ar at 46.9 nm is obtained with an X-ray diode (XRD). The pressure filling in the capillary is changed to observe the variation of lasing onset time. According to real current waveforms, the pinch process is simulated. The results show that the laser spike occurs around the third pinching time. In addition, the experimental results indicate that there is an optimum pressure for the laser output.

The Li (i = l, α, β, γ) X-ray production cross section and Lα/Ll, Lα/Lβ, Lα/Lγ, Ll/Lβ, Ll/Lγ, and Lβ/Lγ intensity ratio values for Yb, Ta, W, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th, and U have been determined using an excitation geometry at 59.54 keV incident photon energy. The measurements were performed using an Am-241 annular radioactive source and a high resolution Si(Li) detector. The experimental results of Li X-ray production cross sections and intensity ratios were compared with three different theoretical results and other available experimental results in the literature. Reasonable agreement is typically observed between the present and theoretical results.

AbstractIn order to achieve a nickel-like X ray laser scheme we need a tool to determine the parameters which characterise the high-Z plasma. The aim of this work is to study gold laser plasmas and to compare experimental results to a collisional-radiative model which describes nickel-like ions. The electronic temperature and density are measured by the emission of an aluminium tracer. They are compared to the predictions of the nickel-like model for pure gold. The results show that the density and temperature can be estimated in a pure gold plasma.

In addition to its established oncological indications the sensitivity of bone scintigraphy is of steadily increasing significance in traumatology. Inactivity- induced osteoporosis plays a major role during the immobilization period in the plaster cast. In the region of the joints remodelling intensity may reach such a high level that the non-injured bone shows a higher rate of accumulation than the fracture. This process already begins between the third and fourth week of immobilization. The highest uptake is found after fracture of the scaphoid bone at the end of twelve weeks of immobilization. Control scintigraphies at intervals of several days are indicated to differentiate between various clinical conditions (pseudoarthrosis, activated osteoarthrosis, algodystrophy in case of doubtful x-ray results).

Abstract Background This study was done to observe the incidence of Osteo-line on the femur neck and to explore the clinical application of Osteo-line in osteotomy. Methods Eighty-nine adult femur specimens were selected to observe the incidence of Osteo-line on the femur neck. From August 2015 to January 2019, a total of 278 patients who completed unilateral hip arthroplasty at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively included. Patients who accepted osteotomy via Osteo-line on the femur neck were defined as the experimental group (n = 139), and patients who accepted osteotomy via traditional method (The femoral distance 1.5 cm above the trochanter was retained for osteotomy by visual inspection.) were defined as the control group (n = 139). According to the postoperative pelvic X-ray, Photoshop was used to evaluate the leg length discrepancy (LLD) by the CFR-T-LT method. Results Among the 89 specimens, the incidence of anterior Osteo-line was 75.28%, and the incidence of posterior Osteo-line was 100%. According to the clinical application results, the incidence of anterior Osteo-line on the femur neck was 80%, and the incidence of posterior Osteo-line was 100%. The Osteo-line was clearer than those on the femoral specimens. Twenty-six cases had LLD greater than 1 cm (9.29%), including 2 cases in the experimental group and 24 cases in the control group. The average postoperative LLD in the experimental group (0.19 ± 0.38 mm) was significantly shorter than in the control group (0.54 ± 0.51 mm)(P = 0.005). Conclusion The incidence of Osteo-line on the femur neck was high, and patients who accepted osteotomy via Osteo-line on the femur neck can achieve shorter postoperative LLD than the control group.

A series of steel models having single nozzles radially and nonradially attached to a spherical shell is presently being examined by means of strain gages. Parameters being studied are nozzle dimensions, length of internal nozzle protrusions, and angles of attachment. The loads are internal pressure and axial thrust and moment loadings on the nozzle. This paper presents both experimental and theoretical results from six of the configurations having radially attached nozzles for which the sphere dimensions are equal and the outside diameter of the attached nozzle is constant. In some instances the nozzle protrudes through the vessel.

For the purposes of correcting the LED display image, a method based on computer simulation is proposed. First, the development of the LED display panel is introduced. Second, analyze the causes of the problem which image in LED display panel has serious high non-uniformity, and introduce the existed correction techniques which are used to reduce the non-uniformity of LED display image. Simultaneously, point out the ground for shortcomings of these techniques. Third, describe the principle of correction method based on computer simulation detail from two steps, which are the luminous collection and luminous copulation. Forth, describe the realization steps of this method in accordance with the third step. Finally, this method is supplied in a LED display panel, whose resolution is 640×480. Experimental results show that this method is able to reduce the non-uniformity of images from 11.06% to 0.98%..

AbstractFrom three VLBA observations at 5 GHz, spanning 13 months, we have measured the trigonometric parallax of Sco X-1 of 0.23 ± 0.28 mas; hence its distance is > 1300 pc. This supports the hypothesis that the the x-ray luminosity is near the Eddington Limit.All three VLBA observations show a radio core of flux density 0.5 mJy and size < 4 mas. However, the third VLBA observation revealed two additional radio components, separated by 12 mas (≈ 20 au) on opposite sides of the radio core. The evolution of these new components is unknown until additional observations can be made. The relative luminosity and separation of the two radio components are inconsistent with the Doppler beaming of two identical ejecta from the radio core.
