High-order harmonic generation from diatomic molecules with large internuclear distance: The effect of two-center interference
In the present paper, we investigate the high-order harmonic generation (HHG)
from diatomic molecules with large internuclear distance using a strong field
approximation (SFA) model. We find that the hump and dip structure emerges in
the plateau region of the harmonic spectrum, and the location of this striking
structure is sensitive to the laser intensity. Our model analysis reveals that
two-center interference as well as the interference between different
recombination electron trajectories are responsible for the unusual enhanced or
suppressed harmonic yield at a certain order, and these interference effects
are greatly influenced by the laser parameters such as intensity.Comment: 5 pages,4 figure

Surrogate Brands - The pull to adopt an âOtherâ nation; via sports merchandise
A growing number of consumers are choosing to wear sporting merchandise, from an âotherâ nation â whom they have no geographic or ethnic affiliation with. In addition, nation sports branding appears to have scaled pandemic heights; by reaching fever pitch, when actively carrying its message across boarders. Consumer preferences are being driven past simple behavioural characteristics; towards more transient psychographic and emotional constructs. In short, nation branded sporting uniform is no longer viewed as demanding restrictive monogamous loyalty. Ownership of a uniform largely suggests exclusivity and encouraged competition. However, manufactures, national teams, athletes and sponsors are entering symbiotic brand relationships - where they are actively seeking publics, open to multiple adopted nationalities. This phenomenon draws consumers towards embracing temporal national identities, which are converted into an over-arching cross-border identity; ultimately gifting sports brands more significance. The following paper explores consumersâ entry into relationships with another nation, in preference to their own - in manner that has been likened to a form of surrogacy; by the authors. The aim is to stimulate further thinking in a field; which transcends national and cultural boundaries - in the interests of developing new insight, and to provide a platform for marketers to develop more effective communication
Synchronization of coupled neutral-type neural networks with jumping-mode-dependent discrete and unbounded distributed delays
This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the links below - Copyright @ 2013 IEEE.In this paper, the synchronization problem is studied for an array of N identical delayed neutral-type neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters. The coupled networks involve both the mode-dependent discrete-time delays and the mode-dependent unbounded distributed time delays. All the network parameters including the coupling matrix are also dependent on the Markovian jumping mode. By introducing novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and using some analytical techniques, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee that the coupled networks are asymptotically synchronized in mean square. The derived sufficient conditions are closely related with the discrete-time delays, the distributed time delays, the mode transition probability, and the coupling structure of the networks. The obtained criteria are given in terms of matrix inequalities that can be efficiently solved by employing the semidefinite program method. Numerical simulations are presented to further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.This work was supported in part by the Royal Society of the U.K., the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61074129, 61174136 and 61134009, and the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grants BK2010313 and BK2011598
Witnessing a Poincar\'e recurrence with Mathematica
The often elusive Poincar\'e recurrence can be witnessed in a completely
separable system. For such systems, the problem of recurrence reduces to the
classic mathematical problem of simultaneous Diophantine approximation of
multiple numbers. The latter problem then can be somewhat satisfactorily solved
by using the famous Lenstra-Lenstra-Lov\'{a}sz (LLL) algorithm, which is
implemented in the Mathematica built-in function \verb"LatticeReduce". The
procedure is illustrated with a harmonic chain. The incredibly large recurrence
times are obtained exactly. They follow the expected scaling law very well.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Observational Test of Coronal Magnetic Field Models I. Comparison with Potential Field Model
Recent advances have made it possible to obtain two-dimensional line-of-sight
magnetic field maps of the solar corona from spectropolarimetric observations
of the Fe XIII 1075 nm forbidden coronal emission line. Together with the
linear polarization measurements that map the azimuthal direction of the
coronal magnetic field, these coronal vector magnetograms now allow for direct
observational testing of theoretical coronal magnetic field models. This paper
presents a study testing the validity of potential-field coronal magnetic field
models. We constructed a theoretical coronal magnetic field model of active
region AR 10582 observed by the SOLARC coronagraph in 2004 by a global
potential field extrapolation of the synoptic map of Carrington Rotation 2014.
Synthesized linear and circular polarization maps from thin layers of the
coronal magnetic field model above the active region along the line of sight
are compared with the observed maps. We found that reasonable agreement occurs
from layers located just above the sunspot of AR 10582, near the plane of the
sky. This result provides the first observational evidence that potential field
extrapolation can yield a reasonable approximation of the magnetic field
configuration of the solar corona for simple and stable active regions.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figures. ApJ in pres

By choosing to view this document, you agree to all provisions of the copyright laws protecting it.This paper is concerned with the robust synchronization problem for an array of coupled stochastic discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delay. The individual neural network is subject to parameter uncertainty, stochastic disturbance, and time-varying delay, where the norm-bounded parameter uncertainties exist in both the state and weight matrices, the stochastic disturbance is in the form of a scalar Wiener process, and the time delay enters into the activation function. For the array of coupled neural networks, the constant coupling and delayed coupling are simultaneously considered. We aim to establish easy-to-verify conditions under which the addressed neural networks are synchronized. By using the Kronecker product as an effective tool, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to derive several sufficient criteria ensuring the coupled delayed neural networks to be globally, robustly, exponentially synchronized in the mean square. The LMI-based conditions obtained are dependent not only on the lower bound but also on the upper bound of the time-varying delay, and can be solved efficiently via the Matlab LMI Toolbox. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed synchronization scheme
