Development of Extended Performance Near IR Photodiodes: A New Approach Based on Ge-Sn Materials Integrated on Silicon

A new approach to solving the problem of complex nonwaste processing of bottom ash waste (BAW) of low-grade metallic and nonmetallic feeds has been set forth. The solution is based on deep recreative melting of various burden materials with dividing the flux into a metallic phase and a silicate part that virtually does not contain any metal oxides. It has been shown that, depending on the method of producing the flux, various materials are generated: a foamed X-ray amorphous material (foamed silicate) with a stable formulation, a fine mineral fiber or spheres depending on technological modes. It follows from this work that the obtained foamed material is a semiproduct used as a fill insulation, a raw material for manufacturing foam ceramics and optically transparent glasses in the visible and near-IR ranges, and a sorbent for collection of oil products. On the basis of the experimental data, an industrial waste processing facility has been developed.

<p>The Aerosol Radiance Assimilation Study (ARAS) has created a new approach for the assimilation of visible/near-IR radiances into the ECMWF&#8217;s Integrated Forecast System (IFS) for the constraining aerosol properties within the model. The capability is based on a new observation operator, based on the forward model used in the Optimal Retrieval of Aerosol and Cloud (ORAC) retrieval scheme, which predicts top-of-atmosphere radiances based on the model's aerosol field with sufficient accuracy while being computationally efficient enough to run in a operational analysis system such as that run at ECMWF. The system has been tested in the full IFS assimilation system, replacing the currently operational assimilation of MODIS AOD products, using MODIS radiances.<br>This presentation will give an overview of the new operator, show example results of its impact on the model output and discuss its merits and disadvantages compared to the AOD assimilation.&#160;</p>

An accurate calibration of the surface brightness scaleSVas a function of the near-IR color (V–K) has been recently measured for non-variable Galactic dwarf and giant stars. It can be shown that this correlation can be applied to theSVscale of Galactic Cepheid variable stars, which are of major cosmological interest.

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

The Cross

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

Immunoelectron microscopy of neoplastic lymphoma cells is valuable for precise localization of surface antigens and identification of cell types. We have developed a new approach in which the immunohistochemical staining can be evaluated prior to embedding for EM and desired area subsequently selected for ultrathin sectioning.A freshly prepared lymphoma cell suspension is spun onto polylysine hydrobromide- coated glass slides by cytocentrifugation and immediately fixed without air drying in polylysine paraformaldehyde (PLP) fixative. After rinsing in PBS, slides are stained by a 3-step immunoperoxidase method. Cell monolayer is then fixed in buffered 3% glutaraldehyde prior to DAB reaction. After the DAB reaction step, wet monolayers can be examined under LM for presence of brown reaction product and selected monolayers then processed by routine methods for EM and embedded with the Chien Re-embedding Mold. After the polymerization, the epoxy blocks are easily separated from the glass slides by heatingon a 100°C hot plate for 20 seconds.
