Generation of two-mode entanglement between separated cavities
We propose a scheme for the generation of two-mode entangled states between
two spatially separated cavities. It utilizes a two-level atom sequentially
coupling to two high-Q cavities with a strong classical driving field. It is
shown that by suitably choosing the intensities and detunings of the fields and
coherent control of the dynamics, several different entangled states such as
entangled coherent states and Bell states can be produced between the modes of
the two cavities.Comment: 4pages,1figur
Multi-parameter comprehensive early warning of coal pillar rockburst risk based on DNN
A multi-parameter comprehensive early warning method for coal pillar-type rockburst risk based on the deep neural network (DNN) is proposed in this study. By utilizing preprocessed data from the surveillance of coal pillar impact hazards in Yangcheng Coal Mine, this study incorporates training samples derived from three distinct coal pillar-type impact hazard monitoring methodologies: microseismic monitoring, borehole cutting analysis, and real-time stress monitoring. The data characteristics of the monitoring data were extracted, evaluated, classified, and verified by monitoring the data of different working faces. This method was applied to develop the depth of multi-parameter neural network comprehensive early warning software in engineering practice. The results showed that the accuracy of the depth for burst monitoring data processing is improved by 6.89%–16.87% compared to the traditional monitoring methods. This method has a better early warning effect to avoid the occurrence of coal pillar rockburst hazard
Dynamic Brain Transformer with Multi-level Attention for Functional Brain Network Analysis
Recent neuroimaging studies have highlighted the importance of
network-centric brain analysis, particularly with functional magnetic resonance
imaging. The emergence of Deep Neural Networks has fostered a substantial
interest in predicting clinical outcomes and categorizing individuals based on
brain networks. However, the conventional approach involving static brain
network analysis offers limited potential in capturing the dynamism of brain
function. Although recent studies have attempted to harness dynamic brain
networks, their high dimensionality and complexity present substantial
challenges. This paper proposes a novel methodology, Dynamic bRAin Transformer
(DART), which combines static and dynamic brain networks for more effective and
nuanced brain function analysis. Our model uses the static brain network as a
baseline, integrating dynamic brain networks to enhance performance against
traditional methods. We innovatively employ attention mechanisms, enhancing
model explainability and exploiting the dynamic brain network's temporal
variations. The proposed approach offers a robust solution to the low
signal-to-noise ratio of blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals, a recurring
issue in direct DNN modeling. It also provides valuable insights into which
brain circuits or dynamic networks contribute more to final predictions. As
such, DRAT shows a promising direction in neuroimaging studies, contributing to
the comprehensive understanding of brain organization and the role of neural
circuits.Comment: Accepted to IEEE BHI 202
{3,3′-Bis[(anthracen-9-yl)methyl]-1,1′-[(ethane-1,2-diyldioxy)bis(ethane-1,2-diyl)]bis(imidazol-2-ylidene)}mercury(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate) acetonitrile disolvate
In the title compound, [Hg(C42H38N4O2)](PF6)2·2CH3CN, the HgII cation lies on a twofold axis which is also the internal symmetry element of the complete cationic complex. The HgII cation is coordinated by two symmetry-related C(carbene) atoms [Hg—C = 2.058 (9) Å] in a nearly linear geometry, with a C—Hg—C angle of 175.8 (5)°. There are weak intermolecular C—H⋯F interactions in the crystal packing between an F atom of a hexafluoridophosphate anion and a –CH2– group of the bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand
Quantum-information transfer in a coupled resonator waveguide
We propose an efficient scheme for the implementation of quantum information
transfer in a onedimensional coupled resonator waveguide. We show that, based
on the effective long-range dipole-dipole interactions between the atoms
mediated by the cavity modes, Raman transitions between the atoms trapped in
different nodes can take place. Quantum information could be transferred
directly between the opposite ends of the coupled waveguide without involving
the intermediate nodes via either Raman transitions or the stimulated Raman
adiabatic passages. Since this scheme, in principle, is a one-step protocol, it
may provide useful applications in quantum communications.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Possible Influences on Ammonia Nitrogen Determination by Nessler's Reagent Spectrophotometry
Nessler's reagent spectrophotometry is the traditional method for ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) determination, which is adopted in the national standard of the People's Republic of China (HJ 535-2009). In order to improve the accuracy of such method, possible influences, Nessler's Reagent preparation, pH value of the solution, metal ions, organic solvents and natural organic matters, on NH3-N determination were discussed. The results suggested that the method B, employing KI, HgI2 and NaOH, is preferred in Nessler's Reagent preparation. And the Nessler's Reagent Spectrophotometry may be executed over a wide pH range (4-11). The metal ions, organic solvents and natural organic matters have significant influences in NH3-N detection.

The role of globular heads of the C1q receptor in HPV 16 E2-induced human cervical squamous carcinoma cell apoptosis is associated with p38 MAPK/JNK activation
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16) E2 protein is a multifunctional DNA-binding protein. HPV 16 E2 regulates many biological responses, including DNA replication, gene expression, and apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among the receptor for globular heads of the human C1q (gC1qR) gene expression, HPV 16 E2 transfection and apoptosis regulation in human cervical squamous carcinoma cells (C33a and SiHa). METHODS gC1qR expression was examined in C33a and SiHa cells using real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. Apoptosis of C33a and SiHa cells was assessed by flow cytometry. C33a and SiHa cell viability, migration and proliferation were detected using the water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1) assay, a transwell assay and 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA (3H-TdR), respectively. RESULTS C33a and SiHa cells that were transfected with a vector encoding HPV 16 E2 displayed significantly increased gC1qR gene expression and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)/c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation as well as up-regulation of cellular apoptosis, which was abrogated by the addition of gC1qR small interfering RNA (siRNA). Furthermore, the changes in C33a and SiHa cell viability, migration and proliferation that were observed upon HPV 16 E2 transfection were abrogated by SB203580 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor) or SP600125 (a JNK inhibitor) treatment. CONCLUSION These data support a mechanism whereby HPV 16 E2 induces apoptosis by silencing the gC1qR gene or inhibiting p38 MAPK/JNK signalling in cervical squamous cell carcinoma.This study was supported by grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 81000251) and the Nanjing Medical Science and Technique Development Foundation
Ultralong nitrogen/sulfur Co‐doped carbon nano‐hollow‐sphere chains with encapsulated cobalt nanoparticles for highly efficient oxygen electrocatalysis
The development of simple and effective strategies to prepare electrocatalysts, which possess unique and stable structures comprised of metal/nonmetallic atoms for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is currently an urgent issue. Herein, an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst featured by ultralong N, S-doped carbon nano-hollow-sphere chains about 1300 nm with encapsulated Co nanoparticles (Co-CNHSCs) is developed. The multifunctional catalytic properties of Co together with the heteroatom-induced charge redistribution (i.e., modulating the electronic structure of the active site) result in superior catalytic activities toward OER and ORR in alkaline media. The optimized catalyst Co-CNHSC-3 displays an outstanding electrocatalytic ability for ORR and OER, a high specific capacity of 1023.6 mAh gZn−1, and excellent reversibility after 80 h at 10 mA cm−2 in a Zn-air battery system. This work presents a new strategy for the design and synthesis of efficient multifunctional carbon-based catalysts for energy storage and conversion devices
Deterministic generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs in a cavity-QED system
We propose a cavity-QED scheme that can deterministically generate
Einstein-Podosky-Rosen polarization-entangled photon pairs. A four-level tripod
atom successively couples to two high-Q optical cavities possessing
polarization degeneracy, assisted by a classical -polarized pump field.
The stimulated Raman adiabatic passage process in the atom-cavity system is
used to produce the polarization-entangled photon pairs. The proposal is
particularly robust against atomic spontaneous decay, which should have
potential applications in quantum information processing.Comment: 15 pages, 4figure
