The ion flux produced by an obliquely incident Nd Q-switch pulse on a graphite target has been analyzed with regard to its kinetic energy, charge, and angular distribution. The laser intensity has been varied in a range between 109–5·1010 W/cm2, appropriate for many low-irradiance applications. It is observed that for ions of charge state n the emission cone of the number of ions scales with cos2n+1. The angular emission probability of the kinetic energy of the individual ions is found to be independent of their charge and scales as a cosine function. Due to the asymmetrical heating of the expanding plasma by the obliquely incident laser pulse, the maximum of emission is rotated away from the target normal toward the incoming laser, depending upon the ion's charge and the laser energy. The measured kinetic energy spectra are determined by the recombination during the plasma expansion: There are no low-energetic highly charged ions and no high-energetic lowly chargedions. If the laser energy (intensity) is enhanced, it is observed that the additional heating essentially serves only to increase the velocity of the higher charged ions; the energy of the individual singly charged ions is not altered.

Based on the problem that there is a relatively small number of analog simulations on swimming of fish a in specific fluid conducted by science researchers, a simulated tuna model is established in this paper, in which CATIA is used to construct the streamline shape of simulated tuna and the method of computational fluid dynamics is utilized to simulate the swimming of tuna in marine environment. Indexes for fluid performance such as pressure on the surface of robot fish, turbulence kinetic energy and flow velocity of fluid around are focused on, and preliminary research on the variation trend of pressure on the robot fish and of turbulence kinetic energy at different velocities is conducted in this paper. Theoretical analysis and experimental research conducted in this paper may provide some references for design of shape of robot fish in the future.

This paper reviews the evidence for a secondary transfer effect of intergroup contact. Following a contact’s typical primary reduction in prejudice toward the outgroup involved in the contact, this effect involves a further, secondary reduction in prejudice toward noninvolved outgroups. Employing longitudinal German probability samples, we found that significant secondary transfer effects of intergroup contact exist, but they were limited to specific outgroups that are similar to the contacted outgroup in perceived stereotypes, status or stigma. Since the contact-prejudice link is bidirectional, the effect is inflated when prior prejudice reducing contact is not controlled. The strongest evidence derives from experimental research. Both cognitive (dissonance) and affective (evaluative conditioning) explanations for the effect are offered.
