A theory of sonoluminescence (SL) proposed asserts bubbles collapse in a pancake shape almost isothermally at constant volume. SL induced hot fusion at ~107°C is most likely impossible. By the proposed theory, the bubbles are treated as miniature IRasers with the dimension between pancake faces equal to the half wavelength of the standing wave in resonance with the IRaser cavity dimensions. Before collapse, the IRasers are filled with 5~10eV of IR radiation from the Planck energy in the ambient surroundings. During collapse, the IR radiation is trapped within the IRaser by the high IR reflectivity of the bubble wall water molecules. As the IRaser cavity dimension decreases, the cavity resonant frequency increases. The bubble wall molecules undergo a continuous population inversion by always being pumped to higher energy states that favor stimulated emission instead of absorption. IRaser resonant intensification produces 5~10 MeV, i.e., ~106UV photons with 5~10 eV. On average, SL induced cold fusion does not occur although a few X-ray photons are produced. If the IR thermal energy before collapse is enhanced to a total energy of 10 keV, say by exciting the vibration modes of the water molecules at 2.73 µm with a HF laser, collapse produces an average X-ray energy of about 10 keV. Unlike hot fusion, SL induced cold fusion is not impossible.

The two particle azimuthal correlations are observed but the azimuthal structure seems to be of stochastic nature, no jet-like structure was observed. And a new method is used to study the azimuthal substructure.

It is tried to compare the effects of sample preparation on shapes and sizes of ribosomes deposited on mica. The apparent sizes of ribosomes in the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images are about 60 nm in most cases. The height appears to be indifferent to the sample preparation method and image conditions. It is found that the dehydration may greatly affect the topography of ribosomes. The volumes of ribosomes are estimated after considering the convolution effects of AFM tip on the appearance of ribosomes.

The production of derived nuclides by the reaction of 238U with constant nuclear reactor neutron flux for long time is theoretically described. The concentration of each derived nuclide is zero at the beginning, then increases gradually and approaches a saturated value at a certain irradiation time. The whole system (including the parent nuclide 238U and all its derived nuclides) will be in a state of equilibrium. Upon the reaction with neutron flux, the whole system decreases its concentration at the same rate as 238U. It constitutes actually a new type of unstable nuclide series which is in work only in the presence of reactor neutron flux. It has been found that the amount of materials consumed by neutron flux reaction is almost converted entirely to fission product. This peculiar property is quite different from the well known four radioactive series, so that it is named the fifth unstable nuclide series.

The quadrupole angular-momentum radiation of gravity is obtained from the recently obtained covariant conservation law of angular-momentum. The result agrees with that derived from the Landau-Lifshitz energy-momentum pseudo-tensor.

The proton microprobe and the quantitative micro-PIXE analysis technique are used to determine trace element composition and distribution in minerals of mantle peridotite, therefore, additional useful information is provided on the study of upper mantle mineral phase transformation. An example reported here is the study on the geochemical behavior of trace elements in minerals of Suoluoshu mantle peridotite from Shandong province, which was in the process of mineral phase transformation from spinel to garnet. The study shows that trace element composition and distribution display obvious change in minerals while the mineral phase is transformed from spinel to garnet. Most of the trace elements analyzed reside in clinopyroxene and spinel. However, garnet is nearly poor in all of these elements. This phenomenon is associated with the infiltration of solution and the existence of micrograined inclusions in minerals in the process of mantle metasomatism.

The influence of substrate of thin targets on ionization cross sections has been corrected by a new method based upon the bipartition model of electron transport. The measured cross sections for Cu element are in good agreement with existing experimental data and those produced by the empirical formula of Green and Cosslett. Cross sections for Co element are measured for the first time.

This setup has very good timing response. Its rising time is just 8 ns. By using β-γ coincident technique, the intensities of γ lines following electron capture from neutrondeficient nuclides are strongly suppressed, but the detecting efficiency to the γ lines following 100% β- decay of neutron-rich mercury nuclides arrives highly to 60%.

By coupling the radiation transport equations and rate equations of X-ray laser, gain saturation process of several X-ray lasers in Ne-like Ge plasma is studied and simulated results are compared with calculation of the usual saturation equation. The great differences have been found in deep saturation stage. Simulated results also show the "burn-hole" in gain curves and decrease and increase in line width with increasing target length before and after saturation.

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), due to its stability in acidic solution, could be conveniently labeled with 99mTc by using stannous chloride method. More than 90% of biochemical activity was remained after the process of labeling and separation. The stability of 99mTc-tPA was studied at different time and different pH values, respectively. The study indicates that 99mTc-tPA would be a potential imaging agent for thrombus and tumor.

Room temperature radiation detectors are fabricated from large HgI2 single crystals, in which, instead of temperature oscillation method (TOM), a modified vapor growth method is applied to grow the crystals in relatively stable temperature field. The crystals grown by the modified method show lower densities of dislocation (102~104cm-2), and the detectors fabricated from the crystals exhibit good energy resolution and very slight polarization.

There is a high incidence of lung cancer in Gejiu area of Yunnan Province. Using method of SSNTD (solid state nuclear track detector), 469 data of radon in the indoor or soil have been obtained. There is 471.9 Bq•m-3 on an average in houses situated in geologic fault zone. None of ore of uranium or thorium has been found here. The migration of radon seems not "diffusion" but "suction effect".

Several methods for preparing samples of dispersed single aerosol particles used in scanning proton microprobe (SPM) analysis were tested. Many elements such as Al, Si, S, Cl, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn in the groups of different single aerosol particles from the Capital Steel Plant area were analyzed by SPM. The distributions of elemental contents in the group of single particles were mapped with three dimensional contour and the isometric. A new approach to study the group of different single aerosol particles for air pollution is developed in the present work. The results are significant to assessing the environmental impact of the dispersed single aerosol particles.
