On Capacity Optimality of OAMP: Beyond IID Sensing Matrices and Gaussian Signaling
This paper investigates a large unitarily invariant system (LUIS) involving a
unitarily invariant sensing matrix, an arbitrarily fixed signal distribution,
and forward error control (FEC) coding. A universal Gram-Schmidt
orthogonalization is considered for the construction of orthogonal approximate
message passing (OAMP), which renders the results applicable to general
prototypes without the differentiability restriction. For OAMP with Lipschitz
continuous local estimators, we develop two variational
single-input-single-output transfer functions, based on which we analyze the
achievable rate of OAMP. Furthermore, when the state evolution of OAMP has a
unique fixed point, we reveal that OAMP reaches the constrained capacity
predicted by the replica method of the LUIS with an arbitrary signal
distribution based on matched FEC coding. The replica method is rigorous for
LUIS with Gaussian signaling and for certain sub-classes of LUIS with arbitrary
signal distributions. Several area properties are established based on the
variational transfer functions of OAMP. Meanwhile, we elaborate a replica
constrained capacity-achieving coding principle for LUIS, based on which
irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are optimized for binary
signaling in the simulation results. We show that OAMP with the optimized codes
has significant performance improvement over the un-optimized ones and the
well-known Turbo linear MMSE algorithm. For quadrature phase-shift keying
(QPSK) modulation, replica constrained capacity-approaching bit error rate
(BER) performances are observed under various channel conditions.Comment: Single column, 34 pages, 9 figure
Limits of single-photon storage in a single -type atom
We theoretically investigate the limits of single-photon storage in a single
-type atom, specifically the trade-off between storage efficiency and
storage speed. We show that a control field can accelerate the storage process
without degrading efficiency too much. However, the storage speed is ultimately
limited by the total decay rate of the involved excited state. For a
single-photon pulse propagating in a regular one-dimensional waveguide, the
storage efficiency has an upper limit of . Perfect single-photon storage
can be achieved by using a chiral waveguide or the Sagnac interferometry. By
comparing the storage efficiencies of Fock-state and coherent-state pulses, we
reveal the influence of quantum statistics of light on photon storage at the
single-photon level.Comment: 10 pages and 10 figure
Postoperative influences of the torsional phacoemulsification on foveal thickness and corneal edema
AIM: To report the influences onfoveal thickness and corneal edema after torsional phacoemulsification.<p>METHODS: Totally 52 patients(52 eyes)with age-related cataract were randomly assigned to phacoemulsification using torsional mode(26 eyes)or conventional ultrasound mode(26 eyes). The foveal thickness examined by optical coherence tomography(OCT)after surgery at 1, 4 and 12wk and corneal edema was examined by slit lamp after surgery at 1d.<p>RESULTS: The postoperative averagefoveal thickness datas of the two groups, comparing with corresponding preoperative datas, were significantly augmented at 1, 4 and 12wk(<i>P</i><0.05); the difference of foveal thickness was obviously augmented at 1wk postoperatively(<i>P</i><0.05), was no obvious differences at 4 and 12wk(<i>P</i>>0.05). The effects of corneal edema in torsional group were slighter(<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: The postoperative influences onfoveal thickness and corneal edema with torsional mode are slighter than that with ultrasound mode, and the postoperative reactions with torsional mode are efficiently reduced
A systematic study on the binding energy of hypernuclei
In this paper, we calculated the binding energy per baryon of the
hypernuclei systemically, using the relativistic mean field theory (RMF) in a
statistic frame. Some resemble properties are found among most of the
hypernuclei found in experiments. The data show that a hypernucleus
will be more stable, if it is composed of a hyperon adding to a
stable normal nuclear core, or a hyperon replacing a neutron in a
stable normal nuclear core. According to our calculations, existences of some
new hypernuclei are predicted under the frame of RMF.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, 3 table
Attenuation of transcriptional bursting in mRNA transport
Due to the stochastic nature of biochemical processes, the copy number of any
given type of molecule inside a living cell often exhibits large temporal
fluctuations. Here, we develop analytic methods to investigate how the noise
arising from a bursting input is reshaped by a transport reaction which is
either linear or of the Michaelis-Menten type. A slow transport rate smoothes
out fluctuations at the output end and minimizes the impact of bursting on the
downstream cellular activities. In the context of gene expression in eukaryotic
cells, our results indicate that transcriptional bursting can be substantially
attenuated by the transport of mRNA from nucleus to cytoplasm. Saturation of
the transport mediators or nuclear pores contributes further to the noise
reduction. We suggest that the mRNA transport should be taken into account in
the interpretation of relevant experimental data on transcriptional bursting.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figure
