强流脉冲离子束辐照钨靶温度场演化数值研究

强流脉冲离子束(HIPIB)使材料表面气化产生喷发等离子体从而进行薄膜生长、纳米粉的制备等工作。金属钨的熔点高,热导性好,是耐高热流密度防护层最可能的材料。为了研究金属钨在高热负荷下的响应,建立了HIPIB辐照钨靶的考虑相变的非线性热力学方程,并采用有限元方法数值求解了靶材辐照后的二维温度场演化问题,得到了钨靶温度场的时空演化规律。当离子束流密度为100 A/cm2时,脉冲结束后束流入射中心表层约0.3μm厚的材料熔化,且熔化是从表面开始的,而后因热传导固化;脉冲结束后开始时靶材表面温度急剧下降,而后变得缓慢,温降的梯度在不同时刻均存在峰值,且随时间增加峰值向纵向深度处移动。     

Innate partnership of HLA-B and KIR3DL1 subtypes against HIV-1

Allotypes of the natural killer (NK) cell receptor KIR3DL1 vary in both NK cell expression patterns and inhibitory capacity upon binding to their ligands, HLA-B Bw4 molecules, present on target cells. Using a sample size of over 1,500 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)+ individuals, we show that various distinct allelic combinations of the KIR3DL1 and HLA-B loci significantly and strongly influence both AIDS progression and plasma HIV RNA abundance in a consistent manner. These genetic data correlate very well with previously defined functional differences that distinguish KIR3DL1 allotypes. The various epistatic effects observed here for common, distinct KIR3DL1 and HLA-B Bw4 combinations are unprecedented with regard to any pair of genetic loci in human disease, and indicate that NK cells may have a critical role in the natural history of HIV infection.
