    Whilst the world economy is developed, the life and development of human beings have been threatened by the imbalance among environmental and ecological aspects. Thus sustainability is becoming increasingly the focus of various social fields. For most developing countries, a strategy with good sustainability for social development is of long-term significance to keep the economy in expansion. This paper first reviews the conceptual framework and up-to-date development of sustainability. Second, it reviews the current transport situation of China and its future demands. Third, the paper analyses transport policy from the viewpoints of energy consumption and environment pollution caused by transportation. It finally summarises suggestions for transport policy that China should consider in the future

    Understanding Polarization Correlation of Entangled Vector Meson Pairs

    Full text link
    We propose an experimental test of local hidden variable theories against quantum mechanics by measuring the polarization correlation of entangled vector meson pairs. In our study, the form of the polarization correlation probability is reproduced in a natural way by interpreting the two-body decay of the meson as a measurement of its polarization vector within the framework of quantum mechanics. This provides more detailed information on the quantum entanglement, thus a new Monte Carlo method to simulate the quantum correlation is introduced. We discuss the feasibility of carrying out such a test at experiments in operation currently and expect that the measured correlated distribution may provide us with deeper insight into the fundamental question about locality and reality.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. v3: The version published in PR

    On the photofragmentation of SF2+_2^+: Experimental evidence for a predissociation channel

    Full text link
    We report on the first observation of the photofragmentation dynamics of SF2+_2^+. With the aid of state-of-the-art ab initio calculations on the low-lying excited cationic states of SF2+_2^+ performed by Lee et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 125, 104304 (2006)], a predissociation channel of SF2+_2^+ is evidenced by means of resonance-enhanced multilphoton ionization spectroscopy. This work represents a second experimental investigation on the low-lying excited cationic states of SF2+_2^+. [The first one is the He I photoelectron spectrum of SF2+_2^+ reported by de Leeuw et al. three decades ago, see Chem. Phys. 34, 287 (1978).]Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, submitted to JCP as a Not
