Mass formulae and strange quark matter
We have derived the popularly used parametrization formulae for quark masses
at low densities and modified them at high densities within the
mass-density-dependent model. The results are applied to investigate the lowest
density for the possible existence of strange quark matter at zero temperature.Comment: 9 pages, LATeX with ELSART style, one table, no figures. Improvement
on the derivation of qark mass formula
Convex Clustering via Optimal Mass Transport
We consider approximating distributions within the framework of optimal mass
transport and specialize to the problem of clustering data sets. Distances
between distributions are measured in the Wasserstein metric. The main problem
we consider is that of approximating sample distributions by ones with sparse
support. This provides a new viewpoint to clustering. We propose different
relaxations of a cardinality function which penalizes the size of the support
set. We establish that a certain relaxation provides the tightest convex lower
approximation to the cardinality penalty. We compare the performance of
alternative relaxations on a numerical study on clustering.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figure
Stocking, Enhancement, and Mariculture of Penaeus orientalis and Other Species in Shanghai and Zhejiang Provinces, China
China's marine aquaculture landings provide only 18% of its combined freshwater and amrine capture and culture landings, at a per-capita consumption of only 3.2 kg/yr out of a total of 18.1 kg/yr. We described development and some of the results of long-term mariculture and stocking/enhancement projects that have been underway for up to 20 years in the Hangzhou Bay area. Penaeus orientalis (also referred to as P. chinensis) stocking provided up to 400 t/yr, at a total cost-benefit ratio of up to 8 Yuan of landed shrimp per Yuan invested in shrimp stocking. Over 40 t of Penaeus orientalis were produced commercially in 1993, with proceeds being used to fund mariculture and fisheries research. Large scale edible jellyfish restocking is also underway, while semicommercial culture of abalone, Haliotis diversicolor, has been successful. Technical problems limitig mariculture have been solved successfully for some species
Superconductivity Near a Quantum Critical Point in Ba(Fe,Co)2As2
We will examine the possible link between spin fluctuations and the
superconducting mechanism in the iron-based high temperature superconductor
Ba(Fe,Co)2As2 based on NMR and high pressure transport measurements.Comment: Invited paper to m2s-IX (2009
