Phase slip in a superfluid Fermi gas near a Feshbach resonance

In this paper, we study the properties of a phase slip in a superfluid Fermi gas near a Feshbach resonance. The phase slip can be generated by the phase imprinting method. Below the superfluid transition temperature, it appears as a dip in the density profile, and becomes more pronounced when the temperature is lowered. Therefore the phase slip can provide a direct evidence of the superfluid state. The condensation energy of the superfluid state can be extracted from the density profile of the phase slip, due to the unitary properties of the Fermi gas near the resonance. The width of the phase slip is proportional to the square root of the difference between the transition temperature and the temperature. The signature of the phase slip in the density profile becomes more robust across the BCS-BEC crossover.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, the density profile of a phase slip under experimental conditions was calculate

How Chinese State-Owned Enterprises Change Their Dynamics in New Product Innovation?

The innovation of state-owned enterprises and its adaptation to the market competition have been in the spotlight of studies. According to the panel data form Statistics on Science and Technology-Oriented Activities of Industry Enterprises, this research measures and contrasts the new product innovation investment and performance of Chinese State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and non-SOEs. It reveals that market competition is a positive effect on new product innovation input and output of state-owned enterprises, as non-SOE, the relationship between competition intensity and new product innovation output of state-owned enterprises appears exponential relationship. Furthermore, it discovers that non-SOE is more sensitive to competition intensity than SOE. Under the different competitive environment, both of them play differents role on promoting development of innovation and stabilising the market

Paleomagnetism and Rock Magnetism of Upper Jurassic Limestone and Basalt from Site 367

Remanent magnetization measurements were made on 49 samples of upper Jurassic limestone varying in color from gray to red and 7 samples of basalt recovered at Site 367. The gray limestones have very weak magnetizations and are of limited use paleomagnetically. The red limestones have stronger remanences and fair to good magnetic stabilities. The mean remanent inclination of the most reliable set of red limestone samples (N=l4) after 200-oe AF demagnetization is 25°±5.1°, near the present axial dipole field inclination (24°) as well as the expected inclination of the Jurassic field (21° to 30°) at the core site. A single stable reversed direction of magnetization (Sample 33-3, 88 cm) may represent the earliest interval of reversed geomagnetic field polarity of the late Jurassic-early Cretaceous magnetic reversal sequence. The basalt samples had very unstable remanent magnetic properties, characterized by median demagnetizing fields less than 100 oe. The samples were able to acquire large viscous remanences (VRM) in the laboratory in a 1.0-oe field. Moreover, the intensity of VRM acquired in the presence of the NRM was at least a factor of five greater than that acquired under similar conditions but after AF demagnetization. The measured magnetic properties of these basalt samples suggest that the magnetic quiet zone in the general region of Site 367 may be due in part to reduction of magnetization contrast in the magnetized basement layer by viscous remagnetization

THE EFFECTS OF REFLECTIVE TEACHING ON AN INTENSIVE TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM

Abstract: The preliminary case study was conducted to understand the effects of reflective teaching approach on English teachers' teaching performances in a short-term intensive teacher training program, and to know the participating English teachers’ feedback to the program. Totally 13 English teachers, who had taught English for 1 to 5 years, participated in this program for 3 weeks with 54 instruction hours. During the intensive program, teachers were asked to design lesson plans and demonstrate their lessons, while their peers, other experienced teachers, provided them with constructive feedback. In addition, the presenters self-assessed and reflected on their own teaching. Through several cycles of teaching demonstrations, peer-assessments, self-assessments and reflections, most teachers indicated that the reflective teaching approach was beneficial for sharpening their teaching skills, equipping them with additional teaching strategies and class management skills, and raising their awareness of the needs for examinations of their teaching reflectively in the future, and the importance of reflection of their own teaching for improvements. To give the teachers more inputs and inspirations, experienced teachers with creative teaching ideas were invited as guest speakers, and positive feedback to the guest speeches was also drawn. The findings of this study were expected to provide some pedagogical inspirations for the related fields, especially English teacher training in EFL contexts

A systematic study on the binding energy of Λ\Lambda hypernuclei

In this paper, we calculated the binding energy per baryon of the $\Lambda$ 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 $\Lambda$ hypernucleus will be more stable, if it is composed of a $\Lambda$ hyperon adding to a stable normal nuclear core, or a $\Lambda$ hyperon replacing a neutron in a stable normal nuclear core. According to our calculations, existences of some new $\Lambda$ hypernuclei are predicted under the frame of RMF.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, 3 table
