Analysis on Heavy Quarkonia Transitions with Pion Emission in Terms of the QCD Multipole Expansion and Determination of Mass Spectra of Hybrids
One of the most important tasks in high energy physics is search for the
exotic states, such as glueball, hybrid and multi-quark states. The transitions
and attract
great attentions because they may reveal characteristics of hybrids. In this
work, we analyze those transition modes in terms of the theoretical framework
established by Yan and Kuang. It is interesting to notice that the intermediate
states between the two gluon-emissions are hybrids, therefore by fitting the
data, we are able to determine the mass spectra of hybrids. The ground hybrid
states are predicted as 4.23 GeV (for charmonium) and 10.79 GeV (for bottonium)
which do not correspond to any states measured in recent experiments, thus it
may imply that very possibly, hybrids mix with regular quarkonia to constitute
physical states. Comprehensive comparisons of the potentials for hybrids whose
parameters are obtained in this scenario with the lattice results are
presented.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figur
Derivation of Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian from One Family Technicolor Model
Based on previous studies deriving the chiral Lagrangian for pseudo scalar
mesons from the first principle of QCD in the path integral formalism, we
derive the electroweak chiral Lagrangian and dynamically compute all its
coefficients from the one family technicolor model. The numerical results of
the order coefficients obtained in this paper are proportional to the
technicolor number and the technifermion number ,
which agrees with the arguments in previous works, and which confirms the
reliability of this dynamical computation.Comment: 6 page
Effects of Yifukang Oral Liquid on Chemotherapy- and Radiotherapy-Induced Toxic and Side Effects of Myelosuppression, Leucopenia and Gastrointestinal Tract Disturbances
Purpose: To investigate the effects of Yifukang oral liquid (YFKOL) on chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced myelosuppression, leucopenia and gastrointestinal tract disturbances.Methods: The effects of YFKOL on myelosuppression, leucopenia and gastrointestinal tract disturbances were assessed by cyclophosphamide- and Co60-induced leucopenia in mice, copper sulfate-induced emesis in pigeons, ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rats, gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion in mice.Results: In cyclophosphamide- and Co60-induced leucopenia assays, the mean white blood cell count (82.6 and 90.1 × 109/L; 7.3 and 8.2 × 109/L, respectively) and thighbone marrow granulocytes (66.1 % and 67.4 %; 60.8 and 66.5 %, respectively) were significantly (p < 0.05) increased after treatment with YFKOL (15 and 30 mL/kg), compared with the respective control (68.2 and 4.7 × 109/L; 58.2 and 53.1 %). In emesis, gastric mucosal lesions, gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion assays, the mean frequency of emesis (30.8 and 22.3 times, respectively) and ulcer index (39.6 and 26.5, respectively) significantly (p < 0.05) decreased, and the mean gastric emptying (25.0 and 24.0 %) and intestinal propulsion (81.9 and 82.8 %) were significantly (p < 0.05) promoted after treatment with YFKOL (10 and 20 mL/kg), compared with the respective control (54.7 times, 62.8, 42.0 and 68.9 %).Conclusion: YFKOL may suppress chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced myelosuppression, leucopenia and gastrointestinal tract disturbances.Keywords: Yifukang oral liquid, Gastrointestinal tract disturbances, Leucopenia, Myelosuppression, Tumor, Chemotherapy, Radiotherap
Testing the Bell Inequality at Experiments of High Energy Physics
Besides using the laser beam, it is very tempting to directly testify the
Bell inequality at high energy experiments where the spin correlation is
exactly what the original Bell inequality investigates. In this work, we follow
the proposal raised in literature and use the successive decays
to testify
the Bell inequality. Our goal is twofold, namely, we first make a Monte-Carlo
simulation of the processes based on the quantum field theory (QFT). Since the
underlying theory is QFT, it implies that we pre-admit the validity of quantum
picture. Even though the QFT is true, we need to find how big the database
should be, so that we can clearly show deviations of the correlation from the
Bell inequality determined by the local hidden variable theory. There have been
some critiques on the proposed method, so in the second part, we suggest some
improvements which may help to remedy the ambiguities indicated by the
critiques. It may be realized at an updated facility of high energy physics,
such as BES III.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Bis(μ-3,5-dinitrobenzoato-κ2 O 1:O 1′)bis(μ-3,5-dinitrobenzoato)-κ3 O 1,O 1′:O 1;κ3 O 1:O 1,O 1′-bis[(3,5-dinitrobenzoato-κ2 O 1,O 1′)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N)dysprosium(III)]
In the binuclear title complex, [Dy2(C7H3N2O6)6(C12H8N2)2], the DyIII ions exhibit a distorted monocapped square-antiprismatic geometry and are coordinated by seven O atoms of four 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (DNBA) anions and two N atoms of a phenanthroline ligand. The carboxylate groups of the DNBA anions exhibit three coordination modes: bidentate chelating, bidentate chelating–bridging and tridentate chelating–bridging. The center of the molecule is located on a crystallographic center of inversion
Interface induced high temperature superconductivity in single unit-cell FeSe films on SrTiO3
Searching for superconducting materials with high transition temperature (TC)
is one of the most exciting and challenging fields in physics and materials
science. Although superconductivity has been discovered for more than 100
years, the copper oxides are so far the only materials with TC above 77 K, the
liquid nitrogen boiling point. Here we report an interface engineering method
for dramatically raising the TC of superconducting films. We find that one
unit-cell (UC) thick films of FeSe grown on SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by
molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) show signatures of superconducting transition
above 50 K by transport measurement. A superconducting gap as large as 20 meV
of the 1 UC films observed by scanning tunneling microcopy (STM) suggests that
the superconductivity could occur above 77 K. The occurrence of
superconductivity is further supported by the presence of superconducting
vortices under magnetic field. Our work not only demonstrates a powerful way
for finding new superconductors and for raising TC, but also provides a
well-defined platform for systematic study of the mechanism of unconventional
superconductivity by using different superconducting materials and substrates
Ubiquitin Conjugation of Hepatitis B Virus Core Antigen DNA Vaccine Leads to Enhanced Cell-Mediated Immune Response in BALB/c Mice
Involvement of CD147 in overexpression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and enhancement of invasive potential of PMA-differentiated THP-1
BACKGROUND: During infection and inflammation, circulating blood monocytes migrate from the intravascular compartments to the extravascular compartments, where they mature into tissue macrophages. The maturation process prepares the cells to actively participate in the inflammatory and immune responses, and many factors have been reported to be involved in the process. We found in our study that CD147 played a very important role in this process. RESULTS: By using PMA-differentiated human monocyte cells line THP-1, we found that CD147 mediated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression of the leukemic THP-1 cells and thus enhanced the invasiveness of THP-1 cells. After 24 hours of PMA-induced monocyte differentiation, the mean fluorescence intensity of CD147 in differentiated THP-1 cells (289.61 ± 31.63) was higher than that of the undifferentiated THP-1 cells (205.1 ± 19.25). There was a significant increase of the levels of proMMP-2, proMMP-9 and their activated forms in the differentiated THP-1 cells. Invasion assays using reconstituted basement membrane showed a good correlation between the invasiveness of THP-1 cells and the production of MMP-2 and MMP-9. The difference in the MMPs expression and the invasive ability was significantly blocked by HAb18G/CD147 antagonistic peptide AP-9. The inhibitory rate of the secretion of proMMP-9 in the undifferentiated THP-1 cells was 45.07%. The inhibitory rate of the secretion of proMMP-9, the activated MMP-9 and proMMP-2 in the differentiated THP-1 cells was 52.90%, 53.79% and 47.80%, respectively. The inhibitory rate of invasive potential in the undifferentiated cells and the differentiated THP-1 cells was 41.82 % and 25.15%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the expression of CD147 is upregulated during the differentiation of monocyte THP-1 cells to macrophage cells, and CD147 induces the secretion and activation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and enhances the invasive ability of THP-1 cells. The matured monocytes / macrophages, via their high expression of CD147, may play an important role in promoting the tissue repair or tissue damage during their inflammatory response
Realization of edge states along a synthetic orbital angular momentum dimension
The synthetic dimension is a rising method to study topological physics,
which enables us to implement high-dimensional physics in low-dimensional
geometries. Photonic orbital angular momentum (OAM), a degree of freedom
characterized by discrete yet unbounded, serves as a suitable synthetic
dimension. However, a sharp boundary along a synthetic OAM dimension has not
been demonstrated, dramatically limiting the investigation of topological edge
effects in an open boundary lattice system. In this work, we make a sharp
boundary along a Floquet Su-Schrieffer-Heeger OAM lattice and form approximate
semi-infinite lattices by drilling a pinhole on the optical elements in a
cavity. The band structures with zero () energy boundary states are
measured directly, benefiting from the spectra detection of the cavity.
Moreover, we obtain the edge modes moving from the gap to the bulk by
dynamically changing the boundary phase, and we reveal that interference near
the surface leads to spectrum discretization. Our work provides a new
perspective to observe edge effects and explore practical photonics tools
