The effect of PID control scheme on the course-keeping of ship in oblique stern waves
Sailing in oblique stern waves causes a ship to make sharp turns and uncontrollable course deviation, which is accompanied by a large heel and sometimes leads to capsizing. Studying the control algorithm in oblique stern waves is imperative because an excellent controller scheme can improve the ship’s course-keeping stability. This paper uses the Maneuvering Modelling Group (MMG) method based on hydrodynamic derivatives and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based self-navigation simulation to simulate ship navigation in waves. This study examines the effect of proportion-integral-derivative (PID) controller schemes on the stability of course maintenance based on hydrodynamic derivatives and 3DOF MMG methods. Then, the optimized PID control parameters are used to simulate the ship’s 6DOF self-propulsion navigation in oblique waves using the CFD method. The nonlinear phenomena during the process, such as side-hull emergency, slamming, and green water, are considered. This study found that the range of the control bandwidth should be optimized based on the ship\u27s heading and wave parameters
Entanglement dynamics of photon pairs emitted from quantum dot
We present a model to derive the state of the photon pairs generated by the
biexciton cascade decay of a self-assembled quantum dot, which agrees well with
the experimental result. Furthermore we calculate the concurrence and
entanglement sudden death is found in this system with temperature increasing,
which prevents quantum dot emits entangled photon pairs at a high temperature.
The relationship between the fine structure splitting and the sudden death
temperature is provided too
Phase Compensation Enhancement of Photon Pair Entanglement Generated from Biexciton Decays in Quantum Dots
Exciton fine-structure splittings within quantum dots introduce phase
differences between the two biexciton decay paths that greatly reduce the
entanglement of photon pairs generated via biexciton recombination. We analyze
this problem in the frequency domain and propose a practicable method to
compensate the phase difference by inserting a spatial light modulator, which
substantially improves the entanglement of the photon pairs without any loss.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Influence of Tunnel Excavation on the Deformation of a Frame Building
Data Availability Statement: The datasets generated and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Copyright © 2023 by the authors. Tunnel excavation inevitably causes surface deformation. In urban areas, surface deformation could lead to the deformation of surrounding buildings, which may cause damage to communities when accumulated to a certain extent. However, the current construction organization and management mainly rely on on-site deformation measurements, and there is still a lack of reliable prediction methods. Here, we proposed an effective evaluation method for frame building deformation based on the stochastic medium theory and the equivalent beam theory. This method could effectively evaluate the surface and building deformation after a horseshoe tunnel excavation by considering the non-uniform convergence. Furthermore, its accuracy and practicability were verified using the Nanyan Fourth Circuit Transmission Reconstruction located in Dalian, China. The results show that the spatial distribution and characteristic values of the maximum tensile strains were closely related to the ratio of Young’s modulus to the shear modulus (E/G), the building height (h), the tunnel depth (H), the tangent of the tunnel influence angle (tan β) and the convergence radius (ΔR). These achievements can provide a theoretical basis and analytical ideas for investigating the influence of shallow buried tunnel excavation on frame structure buildings in cities.National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant no. 41941018)
ChatGPT is a Potential Zero-Shot Dependency Parser
Pre-trained language models have been widely used in dependency parsing task
and have achieved significant improvements in parser performance. However, it
remains an understudied question whether pre-trained language models can
spontaneously exhibit the ability of dependency parsing without introducing
additional parser structure in the zero-shot scenario. In this paper, we
propose to explore the dependency parsing ability of large language models such
as ChatGPT and conduct linguistic analysis. The experimental results
demonstrate that ChatGPT is a potential zero-shot dependency parser, and the
linguistic analysis also shows some unique preferences in parsing outputs.Comment: 10 page
N-Phenyl-N-{4-[5-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]phenyl}aniline
The title compound, C25H18N4O, is a non-planar bipolar ligand containing triphenylamine and 1,3,4-oxadiazole units. In the molecule, the benzene ring, the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, and the pyridine ring are twisted slightly with respect to each other [dihedral angle between the benzene and 1,3,4-oxadiazole rings = 9.4 (4) and between the 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyridine rings = 3.0 (4)°]. Moreover, the dihedral angles between the two phenyl rings and the benzene ring are 88.2 (4) and 113.3 (4)°, and that between the two phenyl rings is 67.9 (4)°. The closest distances between the pyridine ring and the 1,3,4-oxadiazole and benzene rings in adjacent molecules are 3.316 and 3.363 Å, respectively, indicating the existence of π–π interactions
