Soviet psychiatric abuse: allegations met by red tape

Responding to accusations by human rights groups concerning the confinement of dissidents in mental hospitals, the Soviet All-Union Society of Psychiatrists (AUSP) has supplied the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) with data on two alleged cases of abuse and promised information on four more. Some member societies are suspicious that the move is simply a delaying tactic to forestall possible ouster of the AUSP from the WPA. Some members are also concerned that the WPA executive council's "overscrupulous" stance on confidentiality has hindered investigation of complaints of psychiatric abuse.     

用流延法制备LSGM电解质膜的研究

稀土钙钛矿型氧化物LaGaO3是固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)研制中具有应用前景的固体电解质材料,用固相反应法制备La0.85Sr0.15Ga0.85Mg0.15O2.85粉末,其水溶液pH值出现先升后降的规律,由于粉末在水溶液中很稳定,因而可采用水基浆料制备电解质膜。在La0.85Sr0.15Ga0.85Mg0.15O2.85粉末中加入适量分散剂、粘结剂、塑化剂、去泡剂和溶剂,用流延法制备LSGM厚膜,其厚膜完整、无宏观缺陷及可以卷曲,经过1500℃、10～24h烧结后可得到致密的LSGM厚膜。     

流延成型制备8YSZ电解质薄片及其性能研究

探索了以YSZ纳米粉体为原料,采用流延成型的方法制备YSZ电解质薄片的工艺过程,研究了YSZ纳米粉体及流延后坯体的性能,以及通过实验获得的瓷体性能.粉体粒度分布窄,在0.1～0.3 μm之间,中位径为0.157 μm.坯体在968.9℃开始有明显收缩,在1 279.9℃收缩最快,而在1400℃后,收缩值基本稳定于20%.坯体的致密度良好,相对密度为64.1%.通过烧结得到的瓷体的相对密度可达97.8%,晶粒细密均匀,大小为1～4 μm,晶界明显.YSZ薄片随温度的升高表现出良好的电性能,在900℃时的电导率达0.106 S/cm.
