In standard near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), a subwavelength probe acts as an optical 'stethoscope' to map the near field produced at the sample surface by external illumination. This technique has been applied using visible, infrared, terahertz and gigahertz radiation to illuminate the sample, providing a resolution well beyond the diffraction limit. NSOM is well suited to study surface waves such as surface plasmons or surface-phonon polaritons. Using an aperture NSOM with visible laser illumination, a near-field interference pattern around a corral structure has been observed, whose features were similar to the scanning tunnelling microscope image of the electronic waves in a quantum corral. Here we describe an infrared NSOM that operates without any external illumination: it is a near-field analogue of a night-vision camera, making use of the thermal infrared evanescent fields emitted by the surface, and behaves as an optical scanning tunnelling microscope. We therefore term this instrument a 'thermal radiation scanning tunnelling microscope' (TRSTM). We show the first TRSTM images of thermally excited surface plasmons, and demonstrate spatial coherence effects in near-field thermal emission. 相似文献

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is by far the most abundant material from which stars, protoplanetary disks and giant planets form, but it is difficult to detect directly. Infrared emission lines from H2 have recently been reported towards beta Pictoris, a star harbouring a young planetary system. This star is surrounded by a dusty 'debris disk' that is continuously replenished either by collisions between asteroidal objects or by evaporation of ices on Chiron-like objects. A gaseous disk has also been inferred from absorption lines in the stellar spectrum. Here we present the far-ultraviolet spectrum of beta Pictoris, in which H2 absorption lines are not seen. This allows us to set a very low upper limit on the column density of H2: N(H2) = 1018 cm-2. This non-detection is puzzling when compared to the quantity of H2 inferred from the infrared observations, but it does show that H2 is not in the disk on the direct line of sight. Carbon monoxide (CO) has been seen in absorption against the star, yielding a ratio of CO/H2 > 6 x 10-4. As CO would be destroyed under ambient conditions in about 200 years (refs 9, 11), our result demonstrates that the CO in the disk arises from evaporation of planetesimals. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7, matrilysin- 1) modulates crucial biological events by processing many epithelial cell surface-associated
effectors. We addressed MMP-7 interaction with human epithelial cells and its resulting activity. In human endometrium, a
model of controlled tissue remodeling, proMMP-7 was diffusely immunolocalized inside epithelial cells, whereas MMP-7 delineated
their entire plasma membrane. Endometrial explants preferentially retained active MMP-7, but not proMMP-7. Endometrial epithelial
cells and carcinoma cells from various tissues bound active MMP-7. Endometrial carcinoma-derived Ishikawa cells showed high
affinity (KD
of ~2.5 nM) and capacity (~260 000 sites per cell) for MMP-7. MMP-7 binding decreased by extracting membrane sterols or interfering
with heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and was abrogated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) or synthetic MMP
inhibitors. Bound MMP-7 not only remained fully active towards a macromolecular substrate but also became resistant to TIMP-2.
We conclude that MMP-7-selective targeting to the plasma membrane of epithelial cells promotes its activity by conferring
resistance to TIMP-2.

The aim of this paper is to give an overview on models and methods used to solve tactical planning problems. The modeling and the elaboration of the well-know tactical planning problems (master planning & scheduling, material requirement planning and multi-site planning) are discussed. These problems are modeled from two "lot sizing" models called the Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem (CLSP) and Multi Level Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem (MLCLSP). From both models, a lot of extensions has been proposed in the literature. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, classifications of the CLSP and MLCLSP as well as their extensions are given. For each model, the major scientific contributions are mentioned. These classifications made from seventy papers give an overview of "lot sizing" models dedicated to the MPS, MRP and Multi-site and show the diversity of models. Second, from a classification, an analysis of methods used for each model is given. The instance size, best gap and reference for gap computation are given for each contribution, This work can be used to elaborate an optimization tool for tactical planning problematic such as Advanced Planning System. 相似文献

A significant fraction of the energy density of the interstellar medium is in the form of high-energy charged particles (cosmic rays). The origin of these particles remains uncertain. Although it is generally accepted that the only sources capable of supplying the energy required to accelerate the bulk of Galactic cosmic rays are supernova explosions, and even though the mechanism of particle acceleration in expanding supernova remnant (SNR) shocks is thought to be well understood theoretically, unequivocal evidence for the production of high-energy particles in supernova shells has proven remarkably hard to find. Here we report on observations of the SNR RX J1713.7 - 3946 (G347.3 - 0.5), which was discovered by ROSAT in the X-ray spectrum and later claimed as a source of high-energy gamma-rays of TeV energies (1 TeV = 10(12) eV). We present a TeV gamma-ray image of the SNR: the spatially resolved remnant has a shell morphology similar to that seen in X-rays, which demonstrates that very-high-energy particles are accelerated there. The energy spectrum indicates efficient acceleration of charged particles to energies beyond 100 TeV, consistent with current ideas of particle acceleration in young SNR shocks. 相似文献
