Theoretical analysis of direct violation and differential decay width in in phase space around the resonances and
We perform a theoretical study on direct violation in in phase space around the intermediate states and
. The possible interference between the amplitudes corresponding to
the two resonances is taken into account, and the relative strong phase of the
two amplitudes is treated as a free parameter. Our analysis shows that by
properly chosen the strong phase, both the violation strength and
differential decay width accommodate to the experimental results.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
Research on Impulse Radio Ultra - wideband Positioning Method Based on Combined BP Neural Network and SVM
Intelligent tour guide is a comprehensive service based on tourist\u27s location, which is closely related to Geographic Information System (GIS), mobile positioning technology and Location-Based Service (LBS). But the intelligent tour guide field urgently needs the integrated positioning and navigation technology inside and outside the room. IR-UWB technology is suitable for positioning, tracking, navigation and communication in complex indoor environment, and is considered as the most potential indoor positioning technology to realize seamless connection between indoor and outdoor with outdoor positioning technologies such as GPS. However, one of the main problems facing IR-UWB positioning is Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) error. Based on the advantages of BP neural network and support vector machine, this paper proposes a multi-model fusion algorithm to mitigate the NLOS propagation error of the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and the angle of arrival (AOA) of IR-UWB signal, and then uses TDOA/AOA hybrid positioning that mitigates the NLOS error. Simulation results show that the combined algorithm has stronger NLOS resistance and higher positioning accuracy than the single machine learning algorithm in mitigation NLOS errors
A Phase Change Memory Chip Based on TiSbTe Alloy in 40-nm Standard CMOS Technology
In this letter, a phase change random access memory (PCRAM) chip based on Ti0.4Sb2Te3 alloy material was fabricated in a 40-nm 4-metal level complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The phase change resistor was then integrated after CMOS logic fabrication. The PCRAM was successfully embedded without changing any logic device and process, in which 1.1 V negative-channel metal-oxide semiconductor device was used as the memory cell selector. The currents and the time of SET and RESET operations were found to be 0.2 and 0.5 mA, 100 and 10 ns, respectively. The high speed performance of this chip may highlight the design advantages in many embedded applications
Risk Assessment and Mapping of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease at the County Level in Mainland China Using Spatiotemporal Zero-Inflated Bayesian Hierarchical Models
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a worldwide infectious disease, prominent in China. China’s HFMD data are sparse with a large number of observed zeros across locations and over time. However, no previous studies have considered such a zero-inflated problem on HFMD’s spatiotemporal risk analysis and mapping, not to mention for the entire Mainland China at county level. Monthly county-level HFMD cases data combined with related climate and socioeconomic variables were collected. We developed four models, including spatiotemporal Poisson, negative binomial, zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP), and zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) models under the Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework to explore disease spatiotemporal patterns. The results showed that the spatiotemporal ZINB model performed best. Both climate and socioeconomic variables were identified as significant risk factors for increasing HFMD incidence. The relative risk (RR) of HFMD at the local scale showed nonlinear temporal trends and was considerably spatially clustered in Mainland China. The first complete county-level spatiotemporal relative risk maps of HFMD were generated by this study. The new findings provide great potential for national county-level HFMD prevention and control, and the improved spatiotemporal zero-inflated model offers new insights for epidemic data with the zero-inflated problem in environmental epidemiology and public health
Distribution of tick-borne diseases in China
As an important contributor to vector-borne diseases in China, in recent years, tick-borne diseases have attracted much attention because of their increasing incidence and consequent significant harm to livestock and human health. The most commonly observed human tick-borne diseases in China include Lyme borreliosis (known as Lyme disease in China), tick-borne encephalitis (known as Forest encephalitis in China), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (known as Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever in China), Q-fever, tularemia and North-Asia tick-borne spotted fever. In recent years, some emerging tick-borne diseases, such as human monocytic ehrlichiosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and a novel bunyavirus infection, have been reported frequently in China. Other tick-borne diseases that are not as frequently reported in China include Colorado fever, oriental spotted fever and piroplasmosis. Detailed information regarding the history, characteristics, and current epidemic status of these human tick-borne diseases in China will be reviewed in this paper. It is clear that greater efforts in government management and research are required for the prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of tick-borne diseases, as well as for the control of ticks, in order to decrease the tick-borne disease burden in China
