Phase control of spatial interference from two duplicated two-level atoms

We report the phase control of spatial interference of resonance fluorescence from two duplicated two-level atoms, driving by two orthogonally polarized fields. In this closed-loop system, the relative phase is of crucial importance to the recovery of the interference patten in the fluorescence light even with strong driving.In order to improve the experimental realizability, we propose a scheme to recover the visibility with fixed relative phase by adjusting the relative intensities between the two driving fields or alternatively by using a standing-wave field.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

The paradox of green credit in China

AbstractThe green credit policy has made remarkable achievements in energy saving, emission reduction and industrial structure optimization, however, due to the collusion between enterprises and local government, a huge gap exists between the reality and expectation in the process of policy execution. The collusion is the result of cooperative game through Nash bargaining. Banks, as agents in carrying out the green credit policy, offer preferential interest rate that influences the collusion. This paper analyzes the collusion and factors affecting its incidence on the bas is of constructing the expected profit functions of both the enterprise and the local government. Meanwhile, we obtain the optimal volume of loans and offer several relevant suggestions for policy

Dietary supplementation of L-carnitine relieved detrimental impacts of a high-fat diet in juvenile Trachinotus ovatus

In recent years, the dramatically high lipid level has been used in fish feeds, resulting in low survival rates of fish and huge economic losses. Based on these issues, a six-week feeding experiment was conducted to investigate whether diet supplements with L-carnitine can be used to relieve detrimental impacts on growth performance, hepatic lipid accumulation, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and non-specific immune status, as well as intestinal morphology of Trachinotus ovatus, fed on a high-fat diet. Three isonitrogenous diets were formulated to either include or exclude high-fat and L-carnitine (lipid positive (LP): 130 g kg−1 lipid, lipid negative (LN): 210 g kg−1 lipid, lipid negative with L-carnitine (LNC): 210 g kg−1 lipid with 0.6 g kg−1 L-carnitine). Results indicated that the growth performance and mid-intestine villi length of T. ovatus in the LN group were significantly lower than that of the LP group (p 0.05) and significantly higher levels in the LNC group (p 0.05). In conclusion, L-carnitine can relieve the detrimental impact on growth performance of T. ovatus exposed to a high-fat diet treatment by reducing hepatic lipid accumulation and improving intestinal morphology, anti-inflammatory and non-specific immune status, but could not mitigate oxidative pressure.publishedVersio

Exploiting Device-to-Device Communications to Enhance Spatial Reuse for Popular Content Downloading in Directional mmWave Small Cells

With the explosive growth of mobile demand, small cells in millimeter wave (mmWave) bands underlying the macrocell networks have attracted intense interest from both academia and industry. MmWave communications in the 60 GHz band are able to utilize the huge unlicensed bandwidth to provide multiple Gbps transmission rates. In this case, device-to-device (D2D) communications in mmWave bands should be fully exploited due to no interference with the macrocell networks and higher achievable transmission rates. In addition, due to less interference by directional transmission, multiple links including D2D links can be scheduled for concurrent transmissions (spatial reuse). With the popularity of content-based mobile applications, popular content downloading in the small cells needs to be optimized to improve network performance and enhance user experience. In this paper, we develop an efficient scheduling scheme for popular content downloading in mmWave small cells, termed PCDS (popular content downloading scheduling), where both D2D communications in close proximity and concurrent transmissions are exploited to improve transmission efficiency. In PCDS, a transmission path selection algorithm is designed to establish multi-hop transmission paths for users, aiming at better utilization of D2D communications and concurrent transmissions. After transmission path selection, a concurrent transmission scheduling algorithm is designed to maximize the spatial reuse gain. Through extensive simulations under various traffic patterns, we demonstrate PCDS achieves near-optimal performance in terms of delay and throughput, and also superior performance compared with other existing protocols, especially under heavy load.Comment: 12 pages, to appear in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
