The Cauchy Operator for Basic Hypergeometric Series
We introduce the Cauchy augmentation operator for basic hypergeometric
series. Heine's transformation formula and Sears'
transformation formula can be easily obtained by the symmetric property of some
parameters in operator identities. The Cauchy operator involves two parameters,
and it can be considered as a generalization of the operator . Using
this operator, we obtain extensions of the Askey-Wilson integral, the Askey-Roy
integral, Sears' two-term summation formula, as well as the -analogues of
Barnes' lemmas. Finally, we find that the Cauchy operator is also suitable for
the study of the bivariate Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomials, or the continuous big
-Hermite polynomials.Comment: 21 pages, to appear in Advances in Applied Mathematic
Effective generation of Ising interaction and cluster states in coupled microcavities
We propose a scheme for realizing the Ising spin-spin interaction and atomic
cluster states utilizing trapped atoms in coupled microcavities. It is shown
that the atoms can interact with each other via the exchange of virtual photons
of the cavities. Through suitably tuning the parameters, an effective Ising
spin-spin interaction can be generated in this optical system, which is used to
produce the cluster states. This scheme does not need the preparation of
initial states of atoms and cavity modes, and is insensitive to cavity decay.Comment: 11pages, 2 figures, Revtex
Efficient electronic entanglement concentration assisted with single mobile electron
We present an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for mobile
electrons with charge detection. This protocol is quite different from other
ECPs for one can obtain a maximally entangled pair from a pair of
less-entangled state and a single mobile electron with a certain probability.
With the help of charge detection, it can be repeated to reach a higher success
probability. It also does not need to know the coefficient of the original
less-entangled states. All these advantages may make this protocol useful in
current distributed quantum information processing.Comment: 6pages, 3figure

Graphene-polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes with tunable structure and internal charge
One great advantage of graphene-polyelectrolyte multilayer (GPM) membranes is their tunable structure and internal charge for improved separation performance. In this study, we synthesized GO-dominant GPM membrane with internal negatively-charged domains, polyethyleneimine (PEI)-dominant GPM membrane with internal positively-charged domains and charge-balanced dense/loose GPM membranes by simply adjusting the ionic strength and pH of the GO and PEI solutions used in layer-by-layer membrane synthesis. A combined system of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and ellipsometry was used to analyze the mass deposition, film thickness, and layer density of the GPM membranes. The performance of the GPM membranes were compared in terms of both permeability and selectivity to determine the optimal membrane structure and synthesis strategy. One effective strategy to improve the GPM membrane permeability-selectivity tradeoff is to assemble charge-balanced dense membranes under weak electrostatic interactions. This balanced membrane exhibits the highest MgCl2 selectivity (∼86%). Another effective strategy for improved cation removal is to create PEI-dominant membranes that provide internal positively-charged barrier to enhance cation selectivity without sacrificing water permeability. These findings shine lights on the development of a systematic approach to push the boundary of permeability-selectivity tradeoff for GPM membranes
In silico study of different thrombolytic agents for fibrinolysis in acute ischemic stroke
Alteplase is the only FDA-approved drug for thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Meanwhile, several thrombolytic drugs are deemed to be promising candidates to substitute alteplase. This paper evaluates the efficacy and safety of urokinase, ateplase, tenecteplase, and reteplase for intravenous AIS therapy by computational simulations of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics combined with a local fibrinolysis model. The performances of the drugs are evaluated by comparing clot lysis time, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) inhibition resistance, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) risk, and activation time from drug administration to clot lysis. Our results reveal that urokinase has the quickest lysis completion but the highest ICH risk due to excess fibrinogen depletion in systemic plasma. While tenecteplase and alteplase have very similar thrombolysis efficacy, tenecteplase has a lower risk of ICH and better resistance to PAI-1. Among the four simulated drugs, reteplase has the slowest fibrinolysis rate, but fibrinogen concentration in systemic plasma is unaffected during thrombolysis
On Mitigation of Side-Channel Attacks in 3D ICs: Decorrelating Thermal Patterns from Power and Activity
Various side-channel attacks (SCAs) on ICs have been successfully
demonstrated and also mitigated to some degree. In the context of 3D ICs,
however, prior art has mainly focused on efficient implementations of classical
SCA countermeasures. That is, SCAs tailored for up-and-coming 3D ICs have been
overlooked so far. In this paper, we conduct such a novel study and focus on
one of the most accessible and critical side channels: thermal leakage of
activity and power patterns. We address the thermal leakage in 3D ICs early on
during floorplanning, along with tailored extensions for power and thermal
management. Our key idea is to carefully exploit the specifics of material and
structural properties in 3D ICs, thereby decorrelating the thermal behaviour
from underlying power and activity patterns. Most importantly, we discuss
powerful SCAs and demonstrate how our open-source tool helps to mitigate them.Comment: Published in Proc. Design Automation Conference, 201
Phase diagram and symmetry breaking of SU(4) spin-orbital chain in a generalized external field
The ground state phases of a one-dimensional SU(4) spin-orbital Hamiltonian
in a generalized external field are studied on the basis of Bethe-ansatz
solution. Introducing three Land\'e factors for spin, orbital and their
products in the SU(4) Zeeman term, we discuss systematically the various
symmetry breaking. The magnetization versus external field are obtained by
solving Bethe-ansatz equations numerically. The phase diagrams corresponding to
distinct residual symmetries are given by means of both numerical and
analytical methods.Comment: Revtex4, 16 pages, 7 figure
