Long-distant contribution and radiative decays to light vector meson
The discrepancy between the PQCD calculation and the CLEO data for
() stimulates our interest in
exploring extra mechanism of decay. In this work, we apply an
important non-perturbative QCD effect, i.e., hadronic loop mechanism, to study
radiative decay. Our numerical result shows that the
theoretical results including the hadronic loop contribution and the PQCD
calculation of are consistent with the corresponding
CLEO data of . We expect further experimental
measurement of at BES-III, which will be helpful to
test the hadronic loop effect on decay.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures. Accepted for publication in Eur. Phys. J.
Study on Thermal Stress of Honeycomb Ceramic Regenerators with Different Parameters
In thermal flow-reversal reactor operations, honeycomb
ceramic regenerators are exposed to
thermal shock load. In this study, numerical simulations
of the temperature and thermal stress
distributions of honeycomb ceramic regenerators
are carried out using the CFX software.
Temperature variations with time are calculated
first for honeycomb ceramic regenerators with
holes of different shapes. Then, thermal stress
distributions of regenerators are analyzed with
different structural and operational parameters.
The analyses show that the thermal stress of honeycomb
ceramic regenerator depends on the
shape of holes, porosity and wall thicknesses.
This study provides a theoretical basis for optimization
of honeycomb ceramic regenerators.При работе ядерного реверс-поточного реактора керамические сотовые регенераторы подвергаются действию термоударной нагрузки. С помощью программного обеспечения CFX

Quasiparticle Scattering Interference in High Temperature Superconductors
We propose that the energy-dependent spatial modulation of the local density
of states seen by Hoffman, et al [hoff2] is due to the scattering interference
of quasiparticles. In this paper we present the general theoretical basis for
such an interpretation and lay out the underlying assumptions. As an example,
we perform exact T-matrix calculation for the scattering due to a single
impurity. The results of this calculation is used to check the assumptions, and
demonstrate that quasiparticle scattering interference can indeed produce
patterns similar to those observed in Ref. [hoff2].Comment: RevTex4 twocolumn, 4 pages, 3 figures. Figs.2-3 virtually embedded

Observation of Two New N* Peaks in J/psi -> and Decays
The system in decays of is limited to be
isospin 1/2 by isospin conservation. This provides a big advantage in studying
compared with and experiments which mix
isospin 1/2 and 3/2 for the system. Using 58 million decays
collected with the Beijing Electron Positron Collider, more than 100 thousand
events are obtained. Besides two well known
peaks at 1500 MeV and 1670 MeV, there are two new, clear peaks in
the invariant mass spectrum around 1360 MeV and 2030 MeV. They are the
first direct observation of the peak and a long-sought "missing"
peak above 2 GeV in the invariant mass spectrum. A simple
Breit-Wigner fit gives the mass and width for the peak as MeV and MeV, and for the new peak above 2 GeV
as MeV and MeV, respectively
Inquiry web-based learning to enhance information problem solving competences in science
Early research on using web information indicates that secondary students fail to
explore much web tools, use them naively and have serious difficulties to
understand and integrate web information. In response to these challenges, the
main goal of this research has been to design, implement and evaluate an
instructional approach that helps students learn from web information. We have
developed on-line learning materials which focus on specific curricular contents
and provide specific scaffolds to help students accomplish web-based tasks and
develop specific information problem-solving competencies. These scaffolds have
intended to give support to students involved in information-seeking activities as
they were asked questions, searched for information, organised and assessed their
findings, and created rich representations of their newly-constructed
understandings. We have designed a one year long study to investigate the depth
and accuracy of 127 secondary students, as regards their content understanding as
well as their development of information problem-solving competencies when
using on-line resources to solve instructional tasks. Our research demonstrates that
the experimental group performed computer-based activities statistically better
than the control group. Our findings also suggest that students were able to
develop accurate and in-depth understanding from web information if they could
appropriately use search and managerial strategies. This research lends evidence
to questions regarding the value of students engaging in on-line inquiry web-based
learning to enhance content understanding and to develop more efficient
information problem-solving competencies in secondary education
Testing data types implementations from algebraic specifications
Algebraic specifications of data types provide a natural basis for testing
data types implementations. In this framework, the conformance relation is
based on the satisfaction of axioms. This makes it possible to formally state
the fundamental concepts of testing: exhaustive test set, testability
hypotheses, oracle. Various criteria for selecting finite test sets have been
proposed. They depend on the form of the axioms, and on the possibilities of
observation of the implementation under test. This last point is related to the
well-known oracle problem. As the main interest of algebraic specifications is
data type abstraction, testing a concrete implementation raises the issue of
the gap between the abstract description and the concrete representation. The
observational semantics of algebraic specifications bring solutions on the
basis of the so-called observable contexts. After a description of testing
methods based on algebraic specifications, the chapter gives a brief
presentation of some tools and case studies, and presents some applications to
other formal methods involving datatypes
A Real Space Description of Magnetic Field Induced Melting in the Charge Ordered Manganites: I. The Clean Limit
We study the melting of charge order in the half doped manganites using a
model that incorporates double exchange, antiferromagnetic superexchange, and
Jahn-Teller coupling between electrons and phonons. We primarily use a real
space Monte Carlo technique to study the phase diagram in terms of applied
field and temperature , exploring the melting of charge order with
increasing and its recovery on decreasing . We observe hysteresis in
this response, and discover that the `field melted' high conductance state can
be spatially inhomogeneous even without extrinsic disorder. The hysteretic
response plays out in the background of field driven equilibrium phase
separation. Our results, exploring , , and the electronic parameter
space, are backed up by analysis of simpler limiting cases and a Landau
framework for the field response. This paper focuses on our results in the
`clean' systems, a companion paper studies the effect of cation disorder on the
melting phenomena.Comment: 16 pages, pdflatex, 11 png fig
