真空纳米微电子结构自发射阴极的电磁场研究

介绍了一种改进的“透镜”算法。用该算法和相应的实验研究了两种自发射阳极的静电场特性（尖锥直径为１０~１ｎｍ）,其电场放大系数达到１０~２。并研究了在阴极尖锥附近的电场强度与尖锥结构的关系：分析了表面粗糙程度的影响。最后所得的计算机算法和程序适用于研究任意形状的纳米尖锥阴极。     

Brain Emotion Systems,Personality, Hopelessness,Self/Other Perception,and Gambling Cognition: A Structural Equation Model

The aim of this study was to explore the relations between gambling, brain emotion systems, personality, self/other perception, and hopelessness in an Italian community. Dimensions of gambling, positive and negative emotions, self/other perception, personality and hopelessness were assessed in a community sample of 235 adults aged 19–59 years. Two structural models were tested. We found a significant correlation between problem gambling and impulsivity, which in association with aggressivity and negative personality dimensions may help explain the psychopathology factor, i.e. a latent variable involving neurotic personality, hopelessness, high sensation seeking, low metacognitive responsiveness, and disorganized patterns of interpersonal relationships. These results contribute to develop a theoretical framework of gambling in relation with personality factors and provide a new approach for clinical intervention of problem gambling that relies on a solid multidimensional perspective.
