-adic exponential sums of polynomials in one variable
The -adic exponential sum of a polynomial in one variable is studied. An
explicit arithmetic polygon in terms of the highest two exponents of the
polynomial is proved to be a lower bound of the Newton polygon of the
-function of the T-adic exponential sum. This bound gives lower bounds for
the Newton polygon of the -function of exponential sums of -power order
Doppler effects on velocity spectra observed by MST radars
Recently, wind data from mesophere-stratosphere-troposphere (MST) radars have been used to study the spectra of gravity waves in the atmosphere (Scheffler and Liu, 1985; VanZandt et al., 1985). Since MST radar measures the line-of-sight Doppler velocities, it senses the components of the wave-associated velocities along its beam directions. These components are related through the polarization relations which depend on the frequency and wave number of the wave. Therfore, the radar-observed velocity spectrum will be different from the original gravity-wave spectrum. Their relationship depends on the frequency and wave number of the wave as well as the propagation geometry. This relation can be used to interpret the observed data. It can also be used to test the assumption of gravity-wave spectrum (Scheffler and Liu, 1985). In deriving this relation, the background atmosphere has been assumed to be motionless. Obviously, the Doppler shift due to the background wind will change the shape of the gravity-wave power spectrum as well as its relation with the radar-observed spectrum. Here, researcher's investigate these changes
Cell response to RGD density in cross-linked artificial extracellular matrix protein films
This study examines the adhesion, spreading, and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells on cross-linked films of artificial extracellular matrix (aECM) proteins. The aECM proteins described here were designed for application in small-diameter grafts and are composed of elastin-like structural repeats and fibronectin cell-binding domains. aECM-RGD contains the RGD sequence derived from fibronectin; the negative control protein aECM-RDG contains a scrambled cell-binding domain. The covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to aECM substrates reduced nonspecific cell adhesion to aECM-RDG-PEG but did not preclude sequence-specific adhesion of endothelial cells to aECM-RGD-PEG. Variation in ligand density was accomplished by the mixing of aECM-RGD-PEG and aECM-RDG-PEG prior to cross-linking. Increasing the density of RGD domains in cross-linked films resulted in more robust cell adhesion and spreading but did not affect cell migration speed. Control of cell-binding domain density in aECM proteins can thus be used to modulate cell adhesion and spreading and will serve as an important design tool as these materials are further developed for use in surgery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine
Representations and classification of traveling wave solutions to Sinh-G{\"o}rdon equation
Two concepts named atom solution and combinatory solution are defined. The
classification of all single traveling wave atom solutions to Sinh-G{\"o}rdon
equation is obtained, and qualitative properties of solutions are discussed. In
particular, we point out that some qualitative properties derived intuitively
from dynamic system method aren't true. In final, we prove that our solutions
to Sinh-G{\"o}rdon equation include all solutions obtained in the paper[Fu Z T
et al, Commu. in Theor. Phys.(Beijing) 2006 45 55]. Through an example, we show
how to give some new identities on Jacobian elliptic functions.Comment: 12 pages. accepted by Communications in theoretical physics (Beijing
Lattice study on kaon nucleon scattering length in the I=1 channel
Using the tadpole improved clover Wilson quark action on small, coarse and
anisotropic lattices, scattering length in the I=1 channel is calculated
within quenched approximation. The results are extrapolated towards the chiral
and physical kaon mass region. Finite volume and finite lattice spacing errors
are also analyzed and a result in the infinite volume and continuum limit is
obtained which is compatible with the experiment and the results from Chiral
Perturbation Theory.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, typeset by latex using elsart.cls,minor change
Case studies on the geological application of LANDSAT imagery in Brazil
The author has identified the following significant results. Sao Domingos Range, Pocos de Caldas, and Araguaia and Tocantins Rivers in Brazil were selected as test sites for LANDSAT imagery. The satellite images were analyzed using conventional photointerpretation techniques, and the results indicate the application of small scale image data in regional structural data analysis, geological mapping, and mineral exploration
The classification of traveling wave solutions and superposition of multi-solutions to Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion
Under the traveling wave transformation, Camassa-Holm equation with
dispersion is reduced to an integrable ODE whose general solution can be
obtained using the trick of one-parameter group. Furthermore combining complete
discrimination system for polynomial, the classifications of all single
traveling wave solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion is
obtained. In particular, an affine subspace structure in the set of the
solutions of the reduced ODE is obtained. More general, an implicit linear
structure in Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion is found. According to the
linear structure, we obtain the superposition of multi-solutions to
Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion
