基于SCA波形采样读出电子学的CSNS Back-n中子飞行时间测量

中国散裂中子源(CSNS)反角白光中子束线(Back-n)对中子核数据测量和核技术应用等多个领域均有重要意义。为监测其中子束斑轮廓、束流密度及束流能量，研制了由镀硼微网格气体(Micromegas)探测器构成的束流剖面监测装置，并通过测量中子的飞行时间(TOF)来获得能量信息。采用基于开关电容阵列(SCA)专用集成电路(ASIC)的波形采样电子学系统，实现了128路Micromegas探测器阳极条信号的低噪声放大、成形和波形数字化，在现场可编程逻辑门阵列(FPGA)芯片中实现了对信号过阈时间的实时测量，其量程为650 ns～10 ms，电子学时间分辨好于10 ns。在CSNS Back-n上开展实验，成功获得了中子束流剖面及10.65 μs～10 ms范围的飞行时间谱，对应的中子能量范围约为0.16 eV～0.14 MeV。利用钽、钴等吸收体进行了中子共振吸收峰的检验，验证了读出电子学系统的功能及飞行时间测量的正确性。     

Experimental Study on Hybrid Organic Phase Change Materials Used for Solar Energy Storage

The solar energy utilization in built environment has been limited due to its low heat flux, uneven distribution in time and space and temporal difference in day and night. The phase change materials have been used to collect the fluctuant solar energy to form a stable energy source for the terminal equipment of the buildings. In this study, the hybrid organic phase change materials was prepared for the capillary radiant heating system which formed a cascade utilization of solar energy. Firstly, lauric acid and stearic acid were selected as the basic organic phase change materials and the binary equilibrium phase diagram was completed based on the method of step cooling curve according to the experimental tests data. The results showed that the phase transition temperature of the mixed acid at the lowest eutectic point was 31.2℃ and the latent heat value was 264.3 kJ/kg when the mass mixing ratio was 70% for lauric acid and 30% for stearic acid. Secondly, the expanded graphite was used as an additive to enwrap the mixed acid and enhance the heat conductivity. The experimental results showed that when the mass proportion of expanded graphite in the mixed acid was 10%, the mixed acid could be completely enclosed by expanded graphite and the stability of melting and solidification was optimal. Additionally, the phase transition temperature of the hybrid phase change material was 31.5℃ and the latent heat value was 217.4 kJ/kg. The novel hybrid phase change material has a lower eutectic point and a higher latent heat of phase change, so it has a large application space and is quite suitable for the cascade utilization of solar energy with capillary network heating system.

广西箭猪坡矿床首次发现的石英脉型锡矿体特征及 锡石微量元素地球化学意义

箭猪坡矿床是丹池成矿带南端的一个以铅锌锑为主的矿床，随着2012-2014年在箭猪坡矿床钻孔中石英脉型锡矿体的首次发现，打开了箭猪坡矿床新的找矿空间。新发现的锡矿体矿石矿物组合类型主要为锡石+闪锌矿+脆硫锑铅矿+黄铁矿+石英及锡石+脆硫锑铅矿+石英+方解石。箭猪坡矿床锡石呈自形-半自形粒状，锡石粒径多在0.1～0.2mm，少数0.02～0.05mm，分布在含硫化物的石英脉裂隙中。物相分析显示箭猪坡矿床锡主要赋存在锡石中，锡石物相占83.33%～100%。阴极发光（CL）图像显示箭猪坡矿床中的锡石经历了两期结晶作用：早期锡石（Ⅰ）和晚期锡石(Ⅱ），早期锡石CL荧光亮度较小，呈暗灰色至黑色；晚期CL荧光亮度较大，呈白色至浅灰色。锡石单矿物SnO2含量91.623%～96.288%，平均94.03%，杂质主要有Fe、W、In等，其中FeO含量0.02%～0.52%，WO3含量多在0.02～1.34%，In2O3含量在0.476%～0.954%，Sn与FeO、In2O3呈负相关，锡石中FeO、WO3、Ta2O5、Nb2O5、MnO含量指示箭猪坡锡形成于中低-中温热液环境，成矿热液来源于高度分异演化的花岗质岩浆。通过与大厂矿田西矿带上部脉状锡矿体的类比分析，具有相似的成矿条件及矿物组合，推测所揭露到的脉状锡矿（化）体相当于西矿带上部脉状锡矿（化）体，而下部的网脉状、似层状锡矿体尚未揭露到，由此预测箭猪坡矿床深部找矿空间及找矿潜力大。     

Experimental Investigation of Heat Storage and Heat Transfer Rates during Melting of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials (NePCM) in a Differentially-Heated Rectangular Cavity

In this work, an experimental study of melting heat transfer of nano-enhanced phase change materials(NePCM) in a differentially-heated rectangular cavity was performed. Two height-to-width aspect ratios of the cavity, i.e., 0.9 and 1.5, were investigated. The model Ne PCM samples were prepared by dispersing graphene nanoplatelets(GNP) into 1-tetradecanol, having a nominal melting point of 37℃, at loadings up to 3 wt.%. The viscosity was found to have a more than 10-fold increase at the highest loading of GNP. During the melting experiments, the wall superheat at the heating boundary was set to be 10℃ or 30℃. It was shown that with increasing the loading of GNP, both the heat storage and heat transfer rates during melting decelerate to some extent, at all geometrical and thermal configurations. This suggested that the use of NePCM in such cavity may not be able to enhance the heat storage rate due to the dramatic growth in viscosity, which deteriorates significantly natural convective heat transfer during melting to overweigh the enhanced heat conduction by only a decent increase in thermal conductivity. This also suggested that the numerically predicted melting accelerations and heat transfer enhancements, as a result of the increased thermal conductivity, in the literature are likely overestimated because the negative effects due to viscosity growth are underestimated.     

Matrilin-3-Primed Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Spheroids Prevent Mesenchymal Stromal-Cell-Derived Chondrocyte Hypertrophy

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (Ad-MSCs) are a promising tool for articular cartilage repair and regeneration. However, the terminal hypertrophic differentiation of Ad-MSC-derived cartilage is a critical barrier during hyaline cartilage regeneration. In this study, we investigated the role of matrilin-3 in preventing Ad-MSC-derived chondrocyte hypertrophy in vitro and in an osteoarthritis (OA) destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) model. Methacrylated hyaluron (MAHA) (1%) was used to encapsulate and make scaffolds containing Ad-MSCs and matrilin-3. Subsequently, the encapsulated cells in the scaffolds were differentiated in chondrogenic medium (TGF-β, 1–14 days) and thyroid hormone hypertrophic medium (T3, 15–28 days). The presence of matrilin-3 with Ad-MSCs in the MAHA scaffold significantly increased the chondrogenic marker and decreased the hypertrophy marker mRNA and protein expression. Furthermore, matrilin-3 significantly modified the expression of TGF-β2, BMP-2, and BMP-4. Next, we prepared the OA model and transplanted Ad-MSCs primed with matrilin-3, either as a single-cell suspension or in spheroid form. Safranin-O staining and the OA score suggested that the regenerated cartilage morphology in the matrilin-3-primed Ad-MSC spheroids was similar to the positive control. Furthermore, matrilin-3-primed Ad-MSC spheroids prevented subchondral bone sclerosis in the mouse model. Here, we show that matrilin-3 plays a major role in modulating Ad-MSCs’ therapeutic effect on cartilage regeneration and hypertrophy suppression.
