Magic wavelengths for the 6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o transition in ytterbium atom
The static and dynamic electric-dipole polarizabilities of the 6s^2\,^1S_0
and 6s6p\,^3P_1^o states of Yb are calculated by using the relativistic ab
initio method. Focusing on the red detuning region to the
6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o transition, we find two magic wavelengths at
1035.7(2) nm and 612.9(2) nm for the 6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o, M_J=0
transition and three magic wavelengthes at 1517.68(6) nm, 1036.0(3) nm and
858(12) nm for the 6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o, M_J=\pm1 transitions. Such
magic wavelengths are of particular interest for attaining the
state-insensitive cooling, trapping, and quantum manipulation of neutral Yb
atom.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure
The leptonic decay using the principle of maximum conformality
In the paper, we study the leptonic decay width
by using the principle of maximum
conformality (PMC) scale-setting approach. The PMC adopts the renormalization
group equation to set the correct momentum flow of the process, whose value is
independent to the choice of the renormalization scale and its prediction thus
avoids the conventional renormalization scale ambiguities. Using the known
next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative series together with the PMC
single scale-setting approach, we do obtain a renormalization scale independent
decay width, keV,
where the error is squared average of those from
, GeV and the choices of
factorization scales within of their central values. To compare with
the result under conventional scale-setting approach, this decay width agrees
with the experimental value within errors, indicating the importance of a
proper scale-setting approach.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Lanthanum exerts acute toxicity and histopathological changes in gill and liver tissue of rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus)
We evaluated the acute toxicity effects of lanthanum (La(III)) on gill and liver of rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus). The median lethal concentration of La (III) at 96 h was 1.92 mg L-1. Rare minnow were reared in freshwater and exposed to 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, 0.32 and 0.80 mg L-1 La (III) for 21 d. Gill and liver samples were analyzed by light microscopy. The main histopathological changes induced by La (III) in gills were epithelial lifting, filamentary epithelial proliferation,edema, lamellar fusion, desquamation, and necrosis. Histopathological changes induced by La (III) in the liver included dilation of sinusoids, focal congestion, pyknotic nuclei, karyohexis and karyolysis, vacuolar degeneration, and numerous necrosis areas. Hypsometric analysis indicated significant changes in the measures of gill dimensions (average length, width, area), suggesting metabolic disturbance (gas exchange) upon La (III) exposure. The result showed that La (III) severely affects fish gill and liver.</p
Biorthogonal dynamical quantum phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems
By using biorthogonal bases, we construct a complete framework for
biorthogonal dynamical quantum phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems. With
the help of associated state which is overlooked previously, we define the
automatically normalized biorthogonal Loschmidt echo. This approach is capable
of handling arbitrary non-Hermitian systems with complex eigenvalues, which
naturally eliminates the negative value of Loschmidt rate obtained without the
biorthogonal bases. Taking the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model as a
concrete example, a peculiar change in biorthogonal dynamical topological
order parameter, which is beyond the traditional dynamical quantum phase
transitions is observed. We also find the periodicity of biorthogonal dynamical
quantum phase transitions depend on whether the two-level subsystem at the
critical momentum oscillates or reaches a steady state.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Comparative proteomic profiling reveals molecular characteristics associated with oogenesis and oocyte maturation during ovarian development of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)
Time-dependent expression of proteins in ovary is important to understand oogenesis in insects. Here, we profiled the proteomes of developing ovaries from Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to obtain information about ovarian development with particular emphasis on differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) involved in oogenesis. A total of 4838 proteins were identified with an average peptide number of 8.15 and sequence coverage of 20.79%. Quantitative proteomic analysis showed that a total of 612 and 196 proteins were differentially expressed in developing and mature ovaries, respectively. Furthermore, 153, 196 and 59 potential target proteins were highly expressed in early, vitellogenic and mature ovaries and most tested DEPs had the similar trends consistent with the respective transcriptional profiles. These proteins were abundantly expressed in pre-vitellogenic and vitellogenic stages, including tropomyosin, vitellogenin, eukaryotic translation initiation factor, heat shock protein, importin protein, vitelline membrane protein, and chorion protein. Several hormone and signal pathway related proteins were also identified during ovarian development including piRNA, notch, insulin, juvenile, and ecdysone hormone signal pathways. This is the first report of a global ovary proteome of a tephritid fruit fly, and may contribute to understanding the complicate processes of ovarian development and exploring the potentially novel pest control targets
