Difficulties in probing density dependent symmetry potential with the HBT interferometry
Based on the updated UrQMD transport model, the effect of the symmetry
potential energy on the two-nucleon HBT correlation is investigated with the
help of the coalescence program for constructing clusters, and the CRAB
analyzing program of the two-particle HBT correlation. An obvious non-linear
dependence of the neutron-proton (or neutron-neutron) HBT correlation function
() at small relative momenta on the stiffness factor of the
symmetry potential energy is found: when , the
increases rapidly with increasing , while it starts to saturate if
. It is also found that both the symmetry potential energy
at low densities and the conditions of constructing clusters at the late stage
of the whole process influence the two-nucleon HBT correlation with the same
power.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
The role of components in the N(1440) resonance
The role of 5-quark components in the pion and electromagnetic decays and
transition form factors of the N(1440) is explored. The
components, where the 4-quark subsystem has the flavor-spin symmetries
and , which are expected to have
the lowest energy of all configurations, are considered in detail
with a nonrelativistic quark model. The matrix elements between the 5-quark
components of the N(1440) and the nucleon, , play a
minor role in these decays, while the transition matrix elements and that involve quark antiquark annihilation are very
significant. Both for the electromagnetic and strong decay the change from the
valence quark model value is dominated by the confinement triggered
annihilation transitions. In the case of pion decay the calculated decay width
is enhanced substantially both by the direct and also by the
confinement triggered transitions. Agreement with the
empirical value for the pion decay width may be reached with a 30%
component in the N(1440).Comment: 23 pages revte
and dibaryons in SU(3) chiral quark model
The binding energy of the six quark system with strangeness s=-3 is
investigated under the chiral SU(3) constituent quark model in the framework of
. The calculations of the single channel with spin S=2 and the
single channel with spin S=3 are performed. The results show
that both systems could be dibaryons and the interaction induced by the chiral
field plays a very important role on forming bound states in the systems
considered.
The phase shifts and scattering lengths in corresponding channels are also
given.Comment: LaTex file with 5 figure
Five-quark components in decay
Five-quark components in the are shown to
contribute significantly to decay through
quark-antiquark annihilation transitions. These involve the overlap between the
and components and may be triggered by the confining
interaction between the quarks. With a 10% admixture of five-quark
components in the the decay width can be larger by factors 2 - 3
over that calculated in the quark model with 3 valence quarks, depending on the
details of the confining interaction. The effect of transitions between the
components themselves on the calculated decay width is however
small. The large contribution of the quark-antiquark annihilation transitions
thus may compensate the underprediction of the width of the by
the valence quark model, once the contains
components with 10% probability.Comment: accepted versio

Effective video multicast over wireless internet
With the rapid growth of wireless networks and great success of Internet video, wireless video services are expected to be widely deployed in the near future. As different types of wireless networks are converging into all IP networks, i.e., the Internet, it is important to study video delivery over the wireless Internet. This paper proposes a novel end-system based adaptation protocol calledWireless Hybrid Adaptation Layered Multicast (WHALM) protocol for layered video multicast over wireless Internet. In WHALM the sender dynamically collects bandwidth distribution from the receivers and uses an optimal layer rate allocation mechanism to reduce the mismatches between the coarse-grained layer subscription levels and the heterogeneous and dynamic rate requirements from the receivers, thus maximizing the degree of satisfaction of all the receivers in a multicast session. Based on sampling theory and theory of probability, we reduce the required number of bandwidth feedbacks to a reasonable degree and use a scalable feedback mechanism to control the feedback process practically. WHALM is also tuned to perform well in wireless networks by integrating an end-to-end loss differentiation algorithm (LDA) to differentiate error losses from congestion losses at the receiver side. With a series of simulation experiments over NS platform, WHALM has been proved to be able to greatly improve the degree of satisfaction of all the receivers while avoiding congestion collapse on the wireless Internet

Robust optimization for energy transactions in multi-microgrids under uncertainty
Independent operation of single microgrids (MGs) faces problems such as low self-consumption of local renewable energy, high operation cost and frequent power exchange with the grid. Interconnecting multiple MGs as a multi-microgrid (MMG) is an effective way to improve operational and economic performance. However, ensuring the optimal collaborative operation of a MMG is a challenging problem, especially under disturbances of intermittent renewable energy. In this paper, the economic and collaborative operation of MMGs is formulated as a unit commitment problem to describe the discrete characteristics of energy transaction combinations among MGs. A two-stage adaptive robust optimization based collaborative operation approach for a residential MMG is constructed to derive the scheduling scheme which minimizes the MMG operating cost under the worst realization of uncertain PV output. Transformed by its KKT optimality conditions, the reformulated model is efficiently solved by a column-and-constraint generation (C&CG) method. Case studies verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and evaluate the benefits of energy transactions in MMGs. The results show that the developed MMG operation approach is able to minimize the daily MMG operating cost while mitigating the disturbances of uncertainty in renewable energy sources. Compared to the non-interactive model, the proposed model can not only reduce the MMG operating cost but also mitigate the frequent energy interaction between the MMG and the grid
Electronic structure and superconductivity of BiS2-based compounds LaO1-xFxBiS2
Using the density-functional perturbation theory with structural
optimization, we investigate the electronic structure, phonon spectra, and
superconductivity of BiS2-based layered compounds LaO1-xFxBiS2. For
LaO0.5F0.5BiS2, the calculated electron-phonon coupling constant is equal to
lambda = 0.8, and obtained Tc = 9.1 K is very close to its experimental value,
indicating that it is a conventional electron-phonon superconductor
Sea-quark effects in the pion charge form factor
It is shown that the data on the pion charge form factor admit the
possibility for a substantial sea-quark components in the pion wave function.
If the charge form factor is calculated with instant form kinematics in a
constituent quark model that is extended to include explicit
components in the pion wave function, that component will give the dominant
contribution to the calculated charge form factor at large values of
momentum transfer. The present experimental values can be described well
with component admixtures of up to 50%. The sensitivity of the
calculated charge form factor to whether one of the quarks or one of
the antiquarks is taken to be in the P-state is small.Comment: 14 page
Construction of a surface air temperature series for Qingdao in China for the period 1899 to 2014
Abstract. We present a homogenized surface air temperature (SAT) time series at 2 m height for the city of Qingdao in China from 1899 to 2014. This series is derived from three data sources: newly digitized and homogenized observations of the German National Meteorological Service from 1899 to 1913, homogenized observation data of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) from 1961 to 2014 and a gridded dataset of Willmott and Matsuura (2012) in Delaware to fill the gap from 1914 to 1960. Based on this new series, long-term trends are described. The SAT in Qingdao has a significant warming trend of 0.11 ± 0.03 °C decade−1 during 1899–2014. The coldest period occurred during 1909–1918 and the warmest period occurred during 1999–2008. For the seasonal mean SAT, the most significant warming can be found in spring, followed by winter. The homogenized time series of Qingdao is provided and archived by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) web page under overseas stations of the Deutsche Seewarte (http://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/overseas_stations/ueberseedoku/doi_qingdao.html) in ASCII format.

Rank-frequency relation for Chinese characters
We show that the Zipf's law for Chinese characters perfectly holds for
sufficiently short texts (few thousand different characters). The scenario of
its validity is similar to the Zipf's law for words in short English texts. For
long Chinese texts (or for mixtures of short Chinese texts), rank-frequency
relations for Chinese characters display a two-layer, hierarchic structure that
combines a Zipfian power-law regime for frequent characters (first layer) with
an exponential-like regime for less frequent characters (second layer). For
these two layers we provide different (though related) theoretical descriptions
that include the range of low-frequency characters (hapax legomena). The
comparative analysis of rank-frequency relations for Chinese characters versus
English words illustrates the extent to which the characters play for Chinese
writers the same role as the words for those writing within alphabetical
systems.Comment: To appear in European Physical Journal B (EPJ B), 2014 (22 pages, 7
