A multi-wavelength observation and investigation of six infrared dark clouds
Context. Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are ubiquitous in the Milky Way, yet
they play a crucial role in breeding newly-formed stars.
Aims. With the aim of further understanding the dynamics, chemistry, and
evolution of IRDCs, we carried out multi-wavelength observations on a small
sample.
Methods. We performed new observations with the IRAM 30 m and CSO 10.4 m
telescopes, with tracers , HCN, , ,
DCO, SiO, and DCN toward six IRDCs G031.97+00.07, G033.69-00.01,
G034.43+00.24, G035.39-00.33, G038.95-00.47, and G053.11+00.05.
Results. We investigated 44 cores including 37 cores reported in previous
work and seven newly-identified cores. Toward the dense cores, we detected 6
DCO, and 5 DCN lines. Using pixel-by-pixel spectral energy distribution
(SED) fits of the 70 to 500 m, we obtained dust
temperature and column density distributions of the IRDCs. We found that emission has a strong correlation with the dust temperature and column
density distributions, while showed the weakest correlation. It
is suggested that is indeed a good tracer in very dense
conditions, but is an unreliable one, as it has a relatively
low critical density and is vulnerable to freezing-out onto the surface of cold
dust grains. The dynamics within IRDCs are active, with infall, outflow, and
collapse; the spectra are abundant especially in deuterium species.
Conclusions. We observe many blueshifted and redshifted profiles,
respectively, with and toward the same core. This
case can be well explained by model "envelope expansion with core collapse
(EECC)".Comment: 24 pages, 11 figures, 4 tables. To be published in A&A. The

Influence of phacoemulsification on five sites of corneal endothelium of senile cataract after anti-glaucoma surgery
AIM: To study the influence of phacoemulsification on five sites of corneal endothelium of senile cataract in patients after anti-glaucoma surgery. METHODS: Patients with cataract after anti-glaucoma surgery were selected, and the surgery of phacoemulsification was performed by a same skilled surgeon, The superior, inferior, central, nasal, temporal endothelium cells were observed with a non-contact endothelium scope on pre-operation and seventh day, first month, third month and sixth month of post-operation. RESULTS: After operation, there were obvious differences of corneal endothelium of every sites between two groups(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Endothelium cells of senile cataract in patients after anti-glaucoma surgery are easier to be damaged in the phacoemulsification, so preoperative evaluation, surgery manner and postoperative treatment are very important
Systematic investigation of the rotational bands in nuclei with using a particle-number conserving method based on a cranked shell model
The rotational bands in nuclei with are investigated
systematically by using a cranked shell model (CSM) with the pairing
correlations treated by a particle-number conserving (PNC) method, in which the
blocking effects are taken into account exactly. By fitting the experimental
single-particle spectra in these nuclei, a new set of Nilsson parameters
( and ) and deformation parameters ( and
) are proposed. The experimental kinematic moments of inertia
for the rotational bands in even-even, odd- and odd-odd nuclei, and the
bandhead energies of the 1-quasiparticle bands in odd- nuclei, are
reproduced quite well by the PNC-CSM calculations. By analyzing the
-dependence of the occupation probability of each cranked Nilsson
orbital near the Fermi surface and the contributions of valence orbitals in
each major shell to the angular momentum alignment, the upbending mechanism in
this region is understood clearly.Comment: 21 pages, 24 figures, extended version of arXiv: 1101.3607 (Phys.

Lifshitz transitions in a heavy-Fermion liquid driven by short-range antiferromagnetic correlations in the two-dimensional Kondo lattice model
The heavy-Fermion liquid with short-range antiferromagnetic correlations is
carefully considered in the two-dimensional Kondo-Heisenberg lattice model. As
the ratio of the local Heisenberg superexchange to the Kondo coupling
increases, Lifshitz transitions are anticipated, where the topology of
the Fermi surface (FS) of the heavy quasiparticles changes from a hole-like
circle to four kidney-like pockets centered around . In-between
these two limiting cases, a first-order quantum phase transition is identified
at where a small circle begins to emerge within the large
deformed circle. When , the two deformed circles intersect
each other and then decompose into four kidney-like Fermi pockets via a
second-order quantum phase transition. As increases further, the
Fermi pockets are shifted along the direction () to (),
and the resulting FS is consistent with the FS obtained recently using the
quantum Monte Carlo cluster approach to the Kondo lattice system in the
presence of the antiferrmagnetic order.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
