Transient Sub-Poissonian Distribution for Single-Mode Lasers
In this paper, the transient photon statistics for single-mode lasers is investigated by making use of the theory of quantum electrodynamics. By taking into account of the transitive time l,we obtain the master equation for Jaynes-Cummings model. The relation between the Mandel factor and the time is obtained by directly solving the master equation. The result shows that a transient phenomenon from the transient super-Poissonian distribution to the transient sub-Poissonian distribution occurs for single-mode lasers. In addition, the influences of the thermal light field and the cavity loss on the transient sub-Poissonian distribution are also studied
Composite Polarons in Ferromagnetic Narrow-band Metallic Manganese Oxides
A new mechanism is proposed to explain the colossal magnetoresistance and
related phenomena. Moving electrons accompanied by Jahn-Teller phonon and
spin-wave clouds may form composite polarons in ferromagnetic narrow-band
manganites. The ground-state and finite-temperature properties of such
composite polarons are studied in the present paper. By using a variational
method, it is shown that the energy of the system at zero temperature decreases
with the formation of composite polaron; the energy spectrum and effective mass
of the composite polaron at finite temperature is found to be strongly
renormalized by the temperature and the magnetic field. It is suggested that
the composite polaron contribute significantly to the transport and the
thermodynamic properties in ferromagnetic narrow-band metallic manganese
oxides.Comment: Latex, no figur
Global axisymmetric stability analysis for a composite system of two gravitationally coupled scale-free discs
In a composite system of gravitationally coupled stellar and gaseous discs,
we perform linear stability analysis for axisymmetric coplanar perturbations
using the two-fluid formalism. The background stellar and gaseous discs are
taken to be scale-free with all physical variables varying as powers of
cylindrical radius with compatible exponents. The unstable modes set in as
neutral modes or stationary perturbation configurations with angular frequency

Characterization of a New Wheat- 1M(1B) Substitution Line with Good Quality-associated HMW Glutenin Subunit
In this study, a new substitution line, 12-5-1, with 42 chromosomes that was derived from BC3F2 descendants of the hybridization between Triticum aestivum cv. CN19 and Aegilops biuncialis was created and reported. The 12-5-1 was immune to both powdery mildew and stripe rust and has stable fertility. Multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization indicated that 12-5-1 was a substitution line 1Mb(1B). The seed storage protein electrophoresis showed that 12-5-1 presented high molecular weight glutenin subunits (2 + 12) of CN19 and a new subunit designated as M which apparently originated from parent Ae. biuncialis, and absent 7 + 8 subunits. Additionally, the flour quality parameters showed that the protein content, Zeleny sedimentation value, wet gluten content, and grain hardness and mixing time of 12-5-1 were signifiantly higher than those of its parent CN19. Moreover, 5 pairs of the chromosome 1Mb-specifi polymerase chain reaction-based landmark unique gene markers, TNAC1021, TNAC1026, TNAC1041, TNAC1-02 and TNAC1-04, were also obtained. The new substitution line 1Mb(1B) 12-5-1 could be a valuable source for wheat improvement, especially for wheat end product quality and resistance to disease

Mean-field theory of the spin-Peierls systems: Application to CuGeO3
A mean-field theory of the spin Peierls systems based on the two dimensional
dimerized Heisenberg model is proposed by introducing an alternating bond order
parameter. Improvements with respect to previous mean-field results are found
in the one-dimensional limit for the ground state and the gap energies. In two
dimensions, the analysis of the competition between antiferromagnetic long
range order and the spin-Peierls ordering is given as a function of the
coupling constants. We show that the lowest energy gap to be observed does not
have a singlet-triplet character in agreement with the low temperature
thermodynamic properties of CuGeO3.Comment: 3 Revtex pages. Submitted to Rapid Comm. Figures available upon

Beta-type Ti-Nb-Zr-Cr alloys with large plasticity and significant strain hardening
A series of Ti-25Nb-8Zr-xCr (x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 wt%) alloys were designed based on DV-Xα cluster method and e=a-Δr diagram with an anticipation to obtain high plasticity and significant strain hardening. The designed alloys were produced through cold crucible levitation melting technique in order to effectively investigate their micro-structures and mechanical properties. The addition of Cr significantly enhances the β stability in the microstructures of the Ti-25Nb-8Zr-xCr alloys. Both yield strength and hardness of the studied alloys increase due to the effect of solid-solution strengthening. By contrast, the plasticity, maximum strength and strain hardening rate are influenced by theβstability as well as the distinct deformation mechanisms. None of the alloys comprising Cr fail up to 100 kN (the load capacity used) and all show impressive plasticity (~75%) and superior maximum compressive strength (~4.5 GPa) at 100 kN. Moreover, the deformation bands, which are found around the hardness indentations, are analyzed for all the investigated alloys. The fracture behaviors of the Ti-25Nb-8Zr-xCr alloys are also studied to observe the characteristics related to crack propagation, plastic deformation and the formation of shear bands
