应用绿色半导体量子点进行乳腺癌原位成像

乳腺癌是癌症中引起妇女死亡的首要因素。本文采用绿色量子点作为荧光显色材料，建立了一种用于早期乳腺癌诊断的原位成像技术。利用生物素标记的抗HER2／neu抗体与乳腺癌细胞表面表达的HER2结合的特点，然后用偶联绿色量子点的链霉亲和素作为荧光检测标记物，与HER2抗原抗体复合物中的生物素发生特异结合，检测出乳腺癌细胞的存在。结果表明，在荧光显微镜下用绿色量子点原位显色的乳腺癌细胞，相对有机染料组显色亮度增强，故检测灵敏度有所提高。

The Urey instrument: an advanced in situ organic and oxidant detector for Mars exploration

The Urey organic and oxidant detector consists of a suite of instruments designed to search for several classes of organic molecules in the martian regolith and ascertain whether these compounds were produced by biotic or abiotic processes using chirality measurements. These experiments will also determine the chemical stability of organic molecules within the host regolith based on the presence and chemical reactivity of surface and atmospheric oxidants. Urey has been selected for the Pasteur payload on the European Space Agency's (ESA's) upcoming 2013 ExoMars rover mission. The diverse and effective capabilities of Urey make it an integral part of the payload and will help to achieve a large portion of the mission's primary scientific objective: "to search for signs of past and present life on Mars." This instrument is named in honor of Harold Urey for his seminal contributions to the fields of cosmochemistry and the origin of life.     

JIRAM, the image spectrometer in the near infrared on board the Juno mission to Jupiter

The Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) has been accepted by NASA for inclusion in the New Frontiers mission "Juno," which will launch in August 2011. JIRAM will explore the dynamics and the chemistry of Jupiter's auroral regions by high-contrast imaging and spectroscopy. It will also analyze jovian hot spots to determine their vertical structure and infer possible mechanisms for their formation. JIRAM will sound the jovian meteorological layer to map moist convection and determine water abundance and other constituents at depths that correspond to several bars pressure. JIRAM is equipped with a single telescope that accommodates both an infrared camera and a spectrometer to facilitate a large observational flexibility in obtaining simultaneous images in the L and M bands with the spectral radiance over the central zone of the images. Moreover, JIRAM will be able to perform spectral imaging of the planet in the 2.0-5.0 microm interval of wavelengths with a spectral resolution better than 10 nm. Instrument design, modes, and observation strategy will be optimized for operations onboard a spinning satellite in polar orbit around Jupiter. The JIRAM heritage comes from Italian-made, visual-infrared imaging spectrometers dedicated to planetary exploration, such as VIMS-V on Cassini, VIRTIS on Rosetta and Venus Express, and VIR-MS on the Dawn mission.

PtSi肖特基势垒IRCCD焦面阵列的设计和性能

该文介绍高性能PtSi肖特基势垒探测器64×128元红外CCD焦面阵列。掩埋沟道CCD成像器具有一个行间传输机构,它有22％的有效探测面积和120×60μm的像元尺寸。高性能薄型铂硅探测器的截止波长约6.0μm,而在3.0～4.5μm的光谱段有4.0～1.0％的量子效率。根据过程参数和工作电压,这些红外探测器在77K测得的暗电流密度为5到60nA/cm~2。在一个电视兼容的红外相机里,高质量的热图像通过64×128元PtSi肖特基势垒红外CCD焦面阵列得到。红外CCD照相机在没有垂直隔行扫描的情况下,以60帧每秒工作。     

用于自动低空夜间攻击的全地形地面防撞和机动地形跟随

本文着重讨论了全地形地面防撞系统和“机动”地表跟随系统的发展。这两种系统都应用了数字地形数据库。考虑到两种系统在军事应用中的互补作用，因此我们把它们同时介绍出来。     

美伊战后回顾4——没有发生的担心：城镇地区作战

在这次由英美联军独自发起的“自由伊拉克”（Operation lraqi Freedom）作战中，城镇地区作战所占比重极大。就传统军事教范观点来看，城镇地区作战向来被视为一项吃力不讨好的繁重任务，因为即便是攻击方拥有绝对战略主动优势，只要守方能够稳住阵脚，利用城镇地区现成的家屋和建筑物善加战场经营，就有机会在攻击者受限于城镇地区地形无法展开和情报受限的情况下造成对手惨重伤亡。从二战时葬送整个德国第六军团的斯大林格勒到让俄罗斯装甲纵队灰头土脸的车臣首府格罗兹尼，血淋淋的教训都明确验证了城镇地区作战的困难。
