Improving QCD with fermions: the 2 dimensional case of QCD with Sea Quarks

We study QCD in 2 dimensions using the improved lattice fermionic Hamiltonian proposed by Luo, Chen, Xu and Jiang. The vector mass and the chiral condensate are computed for various $SU(N_C)$ gauge groups. We do observe considerable improvement in comparison with the Wilson quark case.Comment: LATTICE98(improvement

2,4-Dibromo-6-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenol

In the title compound, C7H5Br4NO2, intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into dimers

Tri-Band Dual-Polarized Shared-Aperture Antenna Arrays with Wide-Angle Scanning and Low Profile for 5G Base Stations

A novel tri-band shared aperture antenna (TSAA) array is proposed in this paper to meet the requirements of modern base station antennas for multi-band antenna fusion and independent control. Different antenna types are utilized for each operating band, including 3D-printed dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) for the middle bands (MB, 3.4 to 3.6 GHz) and high bands (HB, 5.4 to 5.6 GHz), and dipole antennas forthe low band (LB, 1.85 to 2.15 GHz). The TSAA comprises a 1x4 dipole antenna array for LB, a 2x7 MB antenna array located at the edges of the aperture, and a 2x12 HB antenna array at the aperture center. The LB dipole antenna array is positioned above the MB and HB antenna arrays, providing wideband electromagnetic transparency for both MB and HB simultaneously. By exploiting the high dielectric permittivity ofthe DRAs, the overall array profile is miniaturized to 0.13 0 (0 is the free-space wavelength at central frequency of LB), while the array element spacing meets scanning conditions for suppressing grating lobes and achieving wide-angle control of each frequency band. Additionally, the adoption of symmetric -shaped stripline coupled feeding technology in the LB antenna effectively improves the problem of tilted radiation patterns of the HB antenna

5-Methyl-1,2-oxazole-3-carb­oxy­lic acid

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C5H5NO3, all the non-H atoms are approximately coplanar: the carb­oxy O atoms deviating by 0.013 (2) and −0.075 (2) Å from the isoxazole ring plane. In the crystal, the molecules form inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and the dimers stack via π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.234 (2) Å]

Regulating Rumination by Anger: Evidence for the Mutual Promotion and Counteraction (MPMC) Theory of Emotionality

Unlike the strategy of cognitive regulation that relies heavily on the top-down control function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which was recently found may be critically impaired in stressful situations, traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine views different types of emotionality as having mutual promotion and counteraction (MPMC) relationships, implying a novel approach that requires less cognition to emotional regulation. Actually, our previous studies have indicated that anger responses could be successfully regulated via the induction of sadness, and this efficiency could not be influenced by stress, thus providing evidences for the hypothesis of “sadness counteracts anger” (SCA) proposed by the MPMC theory of emotionality (Zhan et al., 2015, 2017). In this study, we experimentally examined the MPMC hypothesis that “anger counteracts rumination” (ACR) which postulates that rumination may be alleviated by the anger emotion. In Study 1, all participants were initially caused state rumination and then induced anger, joy or neutral mood, the results showed that the rumination-related affect was alleviated after anger induction relative to that after joy or neutral mood induction. In Study 2, female participants with high trait rumination were recruited and divided into two groups for exposure to an anger or neutral emotion intervention, the result indicated that the anger intervention group exhibited a greater decline in trait rumination than the neutral emotion intervention group. These findings provided preliminary evidence supporting the hypothesis of ACR, which suggested a new strategy that employs less cognitive resources to regulating state and trait rumination by inducing anger

Large-scale Point Cloud Registration Based on Graph Matching Optimization

Point Clouds Registration is a fundamental and challenging problem in 3D computer vision. It has been shown that the isometric transformation is an essential property in rigid point cloud registration, but the existing methods only utilize it in the outlier rejection stage. In this paper, we emphasize that the isometric transformation is also important in the feature learning stage for improving registration quality. We propose a \underline{G}raph \underline{M}atching \underline{O}ptimization based \underline{Net}work (denoted as GMONet for short), which utilizes the graph matching method to explicitly exert the isometry preserving constraints in the point feature learning stage to improve %refine the point representation. Specifically, we %use exploit the partial graph matching constraint to enhance the overlap region detection abilities of super points ($i.e.,$ down-sampled key points) and full graph matching to refine the registration accuracy at the fine-level overlap region. Meanwhile, we leverage the mini-batch sampling to improve the efficiency of the full graph matching optimization. Given high discriminative point features in the evaluation stage, we utilize the RANSAC approach to estimate the transformation between the scanned pairs. The proposed method has been evaluated on the 3DMatch/3DLoMatch benchmarks and the KITTI benchmark. The experimental results show that our method achieves competitive performance compared with the existing state-of-the-art baselines

Strong Decays of the Radial Excited States B(2S)B(2S) and D(2S)D(2S)

The strong OZI allowed decays of the first radial excited states $B(2S)$ and $D(2S)$ are studied in the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method, and by using these OZI allowed channels we estimate the full decay widths: $\Gamma_{B^0(2S)}=24.4$ MeV, $\Gamma_{B^+(2S)}=23.7$ MeV, $\Gamma_{D^0(2S)}=11.3$ MeV and $\Gamma_{D^+(2S)}=11.9$ MeV. We also predict the masses of them: $M_{B^0(2S)}=5.777$ GeV, $M_{B^+(2S)}=5.774$ GeV, $M_{D^0(2S)}=2.390$ GeV and $M_{D^+(2S)}=2.393$ GeV.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
