Study on the mechanism of open-flavor strong decays

The open-flavor strong decays are studied based on the interaction of potential quark model. The decay process is related to the s-channel contribution of the same scalar confinment and one-gluon-exchange(OGE) interaction in the quark model. After we adopt the prescription of massive gluons in time-like region from the lattice calculation, the approximation of four-fermion interaction is applied. The numerical calculation is performed to the meson decays in $u$, $d$, $s$ light flavor sector. The analysis of the $D/S$ ratios of $b_1\rightarrow \omega \pi$ and $a_1\rightarrow \rho \pi$ show that the scalar interaction should be dominant in the open-flavor decays

Research on the Moderating Role of Authorized Leadership in the Relationship Between Mental Capital and Innovative Performance of Knowledge-Oriented Employees

In this paper, through the collection and processing of 206 questionnaires of knowledge-oriented employees and their supervisors to match the effective data, empirical research on the impact of the psychological capital of knowledge-oriented staff on innovative performance through the intermediary mechanism, and the moderating role of authorized leadership in the intermediary mechanism. The results show that the mental capital of knowledge-based staff can influence the intrinsic mechanism of innovation performance through work effort, and authorized leaders can positively adjust the influence of psychological capital on work effort. Meanwhile, authorized leaders can adjust the influence of knowledge workers ' work on their innovation performance. On this basis, this paper proposes that managers can influence the relationship between mental capital of knowledge-based employees and their work and innovation performance through empowering leadership style and give full play to the positive role of knowledge workers in enterprise innovation.

Research on the Affective Mechanism of Authorized Leaders' Influence on the Innovation Performance of Knowledge Workers

In this paper, we have collected and processed 233 effective data of paired survey questionnaires for knowledge workers and their supervisors, and empirically studied the affective mechanism of authorized leaders' influence on the innovative performance of knowledge workers. The results show that authorized leadership can positively influence the positive emotion of knowledge workers; it has negative influence on the knowledge worker's negative emotion, and ultimately affects the knowledge worker's innovation performance. Meanwhile, the Leader-Member eXchange (LMX) plays a positive role in the positive relationship between the authorized leadership and the knowledge worker. It plays a negative moderating role in the negative affective relationship between the authorized leadership and the knowledge worker. On this basis, this paper posits that leaders need to manage the innovative behavior of knowledge workers by implementing the authoritative leadership style; meanwhile, the authorized leaders should have more and better communication and interaction with the knowledge workers, which will effectively promote the positive emotion of the knowledge workers by authorized leadership style. And also, to further on dissolve their negative emotion, and finally improve the knowledge-oriented staff's innovative performance, in order to give full play to the knowledge of staff in the role of enterprise innovation.

Fine Splitting in Charmonium Spectrum with Channel Coupling Effect

We study the fine splitting in charmonium spectrum in quark model with the channel coupling effect, including $DD$, $DD^*$, $D^*D^*$ and $D_sD_s$, $D_sD_s^*$, $D_s^*D_s^*$ channels. The interaction for channel coupling is constructed from the current-current Lagrangian related to the color confinement and the one-gluon exchange potentials. By adopting the massive gluon propagator from the lattice calculation in the nonperturbative region, the coupling interaction is further simplified to the four-fermion interaction. The numerical calculation still prefers the assignment $1^{++}$ of X(3872).Comment: Submitted to Chinese Physics

In the title mol­ecule, C19H28O7S, the six-membered manno­pyran­oside and dioxane rings both display typical chair conformations. In the crystal structure, the hydr­oxy groups are involved in inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into chains extended along the b axis

High expression FUT1 and B3GALT5 is an independent predictor of postoperative recurrence and survival in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Cancer may arise from dedifferentiation of mature cells or maturation-arrested stem cells. Previously we reported that definitive endoderm from which liver was derived, expressed Globo H, SSEA-3 and SSEA-4. In this study, we examined the expression of their biosynthetic enzymes, FUT1, FUT2, B3GALT5 and ST3GAL2, in 135 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues by qRT-PCR. High expression of either FUT1 or B3GALT5 was significantly associated with advanced stages and poor outcome. Kaplan Meier survival analysis showed significantly shorter relapse-free survival (RFS) for those with high expression of either FUT1 or B3GALT5 (P = 0.024 and 0.001, respectively) and shorter overall survival (OS) for those with high expression of B3GALT5 (P = 0.017). Combination of FUT1 and B3GALT5 revealed that high expression of both genes had poorer RFS and OS than the others (P < 0.001). Moreover, multivariable Cox regression analysis identified the combination of B3GALT5 and FUT1 as an independent predictor for RFS (HR: 2.370, 95% CI: 1.505-3.731, P < 0.001) and OS (HR: 2.153, 95% CI: 1.188-3.902, P = 0.012) in HCC. In addition, the presence of Globo H, SSEA-3 and SSEA-4 in some HCC tissues and their absence in normal liver was established by immunohistochemistry staining and mass spectrometric analysis

Distinguishing and controlling Mottness in 1T-TaS2_2 by ultrafast light

Distinguishing and controlling the extent of Mottness is important for materials where the energy scales of the onsite Coulomb repulsion U and the bandwidth W are comparable. Here we report the ultrafast electronic dynamics of 1T-TaS$_2$ by ultrafast time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. A comparison of the electron dynamics for the newly-discovered intermediate phase (I-phase) as well as the low-temperature commensurate charge density wave (C-CDW) phase shows distinctive dynamics. While the I-phase is characterized by an instantaneous response and nearly time-resolution-limited fast relaxation (~200 fs), the C-CDW phase shows a delayed response and a slower relaxation (a few ps). Such distinctive dynamics refect the different relaxation mechanisms and provide nonequilibrium signatures to distinguish the Mott insulating I-phase from the C-CDW band insulating phase. Moreover, a light-induced bandwidth reduction is observed in the C-CDW phase, pushing it toward the Mott insulating phase. Our work demonstrates the power of ultrafast light-matter interaction in both distinguishing and controlling the extent of Mottness on the ultrafast timescale

Shape and structure controlling of calcium oxalate crystals by a combination of additives in the process of biomineralization

The origin of complex hierarchical superstructures of biomaterials and their unique self-assembly mechanisms of formation are important in biological systems and have attracted considerable attention. In the present study, we investigated the morphological changes of calcium oxalate (CaO(x)) crystals induced by additives including chiral aspartic acid, sodium citrate, Mg(2+), casein and combinations of these molecules. The morphology and structure of CaO(x) were identified with the use of various techniques. The morphogenesis of CaO(x) crystals were significantly affected by chiral aspartic acid, sodium citrate or Mg(2+). However, they only formed calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM). It was observed that the chiral aspartic acid, sodium citrate and casein adhered to the surface of the crystals. The adherence of Mg(2+) to crystals was not evident. Casein significantly affected the formation of COM and calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD). The ratio of different CaO(x) crystal forms is associated with the casein concentration. In combination with Mg(2+) or citrate ions, casein showed improved formation of COD. The present study mimics biomineralization with a simple chemical approach and provides insight into the complicated system of CaO(x) biomineralization as well as facilitates the understanding of urinary stone treatment

Elevation of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase and Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression in the Mouse Brain after Chronic Nonylphenol Exposure

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of chronic administration of nonylphenol (NP) on the expression of inflammation-related genes in the brains of mice. NP was given orally by gavages at 0, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/d. The expression of inflammatory enzymes, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting assays. The nitric oxide (NO) level and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity were also measured by biochemical analyses. The results showed that NP at a high dose (200 mg/kg/d) significantly increased the expression of iNOS and COX-2 in both the hippocampus and cortex. In parallel with the increase in iNOS expression, the NO level was significantly greater at the dose of 200 mg/kg/d, compared to the control. The activity of NOS was also increased in the brain of mice at the dose of 100 and 200 mg/kg/d. These findings demonstrate that NP may have the potential to induce the chronic inflammation or cause neurotoxicity in the mouse brain
