Long time behaviors for the inhomogeneous NLS with a potential in
In this article, we aim to study the scattering of the solution to the
focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a potential of
form \begin{align*}
i\partial_t u+\Delta u- Vu=-|x|^{-b}|u|^{p-1}u \end{align*} in the energy
space . We prove a scattering criterion, and then we use it together
with Morawetz estimate to show the scattering theory, which generalizes the
results of Dinh \cite{DD} to the non-radial symmetric case.Comment: In this version, we correct some mistakes and change the titl
Optimizing the Passenger Flow for Airport Security Check
Due to the necessary security for the airport and flight, passengers are
required to have strict security check before getting aboard. However, there
are frequent complaints of wasting huge amount of time while waiting for the
security check. This paper presents a potential solution aimed at optimizing
gate setup procedures specifically tailored for Chicago OHare International
Airport. By referring to queueing theory and performing Monte Carlo
simulations, we propose an approach to significantly diminish the average
waiting time to a more manageable level. Additionally, our study meticulously
examines and identifies the influential factors contributing to this
optimization, providing a comprehensive understanding of their impact
Joint Detection Algorithm for Multiple Cognitive Users in Spectrum Sensing
Spectrum sensing technology is a crucial aspect of modern communication
technology, serving as one of the essential techniques for efficiently
utilizing scarce information resources in tight frequency bands. This paper
first introduces three common logical circuit decision criteria in hard
decisions and analyzes their decision rigor. Building upon hard decisions, the
paper further introduces a method for multi-user spectrum sensing based on soft
decisions. Then the paper simulates the false alarm probability and detection
probability curves corresponding to the three criteria. The simulated results
of multi-user collaborative sensing indicate that the simulation process
significantly reduces false alarm probability and enhances detection
probability. This approach effectively detects spectrum resources unoccupied
during idle periods, leveraging the concept of time-division multiplexing and
rationalizing the redistribution of information resources. The entire
computation process relies on the calculation principles of power spectral
density in communication theory, involving threshold decision detection for
noise power and the sum of noise and signal power. It provides a secondary
decision detection, reflecting the perceptual decision performance of logical
detection methods with relative accuracy.Comment: https://aei.ewapublishing.org/article.html?pk=e24c40d220434209ae2fe2e984bcf2c
Thermal management performances of PCM/water cooling-plate using for lithium-ion battery module based on non-uniform internal heat source
In order to improve the working performance of the lithium-ion battery, the battery module with Phase change material/water cooling-plate was designed and numerically analyzed based on the energy conservation and fluid dynamics. The non-uniform internal heat source based on 2D electro-thermal model for battery LiFePO4/C was used to simulate the heat generation of each battery. Then factors such as height of water cooling-plate, space between adjacent batteries, inlet mass flow rate, flow direction, thermal conductivity and melting point of PCM were discussed to research their influences on the cooling performance of module. And the 5 continuous charge-discharge cycles was used to research the effect of PCM/water cooling plate on preventing thermal runaway. The results showed that the water cooling plate set close to the near-electrode area of battery removed the majority of heat generated during discharging and decreased the maximum temperature efficiently. The PCM between the adjacent batteries could improve the uniformity of temperature field. In addition, the PCM/water cooling plate could limit the maximum temperature effectively and improve the uniformity of temperature field during the 5 continuous charge-discharge cycles. As a result, it prevented the emergence of thermal runaway and increased the safety of module. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Why Is Maternal Control Harmful? The Relation between Maternal Control, Insecure Attachment and Antisocial Personality Disorder Features in Chinese College Students:A Sequential Mediation Model
Background: Previous work has indicated that a negative parenting style is associated with antisocial personality disorder features in Chinese college students, yet few studies have explored the unique role of negative mothering in children’s antisocial personality disorder. Methods: The current study mainly examined the sequential mediation effect of parental antipathy and neglect (PAN) and mother negative loving (a form of insecure attachment) in the association between mother control and adulthood antisocial personality disorder features (ASPD features) in the framework of attachment theory and cognitive–behavioral theory. A community sample of 1547 Chinese college students filled in the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire, the Adult Attachment Questionnaire and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4+. Results: A sequential mediation model analysis showed that maternal control significantly predicted PAN, mother negative loving, as well as ASPD features. Conclusions: Mother control and mother negative loving appear to advance on the development and exacerbation of ASPD features in college students
Investigation of thermal management for lithium-ion pouch battery module based on phase change slurry and mini channel cooling plate
In this paper, the thermal management based on phase change slurry (PCS) and mini channel cooling plate for the lithium-ion pouch battery module was proposed. The three-dimensional thermal model was established and the optimum structure of the cooling plate with mini channel was designed with the orthogonal matrix experimental method to balance the cooling performance and energy consumption. The simulation results showed that the cooling performance of PCS consisting of 20% n-octadecane microcapsules and 80% water was better than that of pure water, glycol solution and mineral oil, when the mass flow rate was less than 3 x 10(-4) kg s(-1). For different concentrations of PCS, if the mass flow rate exceeded the critical value, its cooling performance was worse than that of pure water. When the cooling target for battery maximum temperature was higher than 309 K, the PCS cooling with appropriate microcapsule concentration had the edge over in energy consumption compared with water cooling. At last, the dimensionless empirical formula was obtained to predict the effect of the PCS's physical parameters and flow characteristics on the heat transfer and cooling performance. The simulation results will be useful for the design of PCS based battery thermal management systems. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Genome Sequencing Reveals Unique Mutations in Characteristic Metabolic Pathways and the Transfer of Virulence Genes between V. mimicus and V. cholerae
Vibrio mimicus, the species most similar to V. cholerae, is a microbe present in the natural environmental and sometimes causes diarrhea and internal infections in humans. It shows similar phenotypes to V. cholerae but differs in some biochemical characteristics. The molecular mechanisms underlying the differences in biochemical metabolism between V. mimicus and V. cholerae are currently unclear. Several V. mimicus isolates have been found that carry cholera toxin genes (ctxAB) and cause cholera-like diarrhea in humans. Here, the genome of the V. mimicus isolate SX-4, which carries an intact CTX element, was sequenced and annotated. Analysis of its genome, together with those of other Vibrio species, revealed extensive differences within the Vibrionaceae. Common mutations in gene clusters involved in three biochemical metabolism pathways that are used for discrimination between V. mimicus and V. cholerae were found in V. mimicus strains. We also constructed detailed genomic structures and evolution maps for the general types of genomic drift associated with pathogenic characters in polysaccharides, CTX elements and toxin co-regulated pilus (TCP) gene clusters. Overall, the whole-genome sequencing of the V. mimicus strain carrying the cholera toxin gene provides detailed information for understanding genomic differences among Vibrio spp. V. mimicus has a large number of diverse gene and nucleotide differences from its nearest neighbor, V. cholerae. The observed mutations in the characteristic metabolism pathways may indicate different adaptations to different niches for these species and may be caused by ancient events in evolution before the divergence of V. cholerae and V. mimicus. Horizontal transfers of virulence-related genes from an uncommon clone of V. cholerae, rather than the seventh pandemic strains, have generated the pathogenic V. mimicus strain carrying cholera toxin genes
MiR-497 decreases cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer cells by targeting mTOR/P70S6K1.
The mechanism of cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer is not clearly understood. In the present investigation, we found that the expression levels of miR-497 were reduced in chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer cells and tumor tissues due to hypermethylation of miR-497 promoter. Low miR-497 expression levels were associated with chemo-resistant phonotype of ovarian cancer. By analyzing the expression levels of miR-497, mTOR and p70S6K1 in a clinical gene-expression array dataset, we found that mTOR and p70S6K1, two proteins correlated to chemotherapy-resistance in multiple types of human cancers, were inversely correlated with miR-497 levels in ovarian cancer tissues. By using an orthotopic ovarian tumor model and a Tet-On inducible miR-497 expression system, our results demonstrated that overexpression of miR-497 sensitizes the resistant ovarian tumor to cisplatin treatment. Therefore, we suggest that miR-497 might be used as a therapeutic supplement to increase ovarian cancer treatment response to cisplatin
