Chemoviscosity modeling for thermosetting resins
A chemoviscosity model, which describes viscosity rise profiles accurately under various cure cycles, and correlates viscosity data to the changes of physical properties associated with structural transformations of the thermosetting resin system during cure, was established. Work completed on chemoviscosity modeling for thermosetting resins is reported
Four Statements about the Fourth Generation
This summary of the Workshop "Beyond the 3-generation SM in the LHC era"
presents a brief discussion of the following four statements about the fourth
generation: 1) It is not excluded by EW precision data; 2) It addresses some of
the currently open questions; 3) It can accommodate emerging possible hints of
new physics; 4) LHC has the potential to discover or fully exclude it.Comment: Summary of the "Beyond the 3-generation SM in the LHC era" Workshop,

Application of fiber optic sensors for vibration and ignition monitoring of a belt conveyor system
The belt conveyor serves as the main coal transport equipment in a coal mine and its safe operation is the lifeline of safety in coal mine production. However, traditionally, monitoring for ignition and for roller faults along the belt conveyor is problematic and so this paper puts forward an approach using radial grating vibration sensing technology for both belt conveyor roller vibration monitoring. This can then be used to predict the fault state in the roller and its position, using distributed optical fiber temperature measurement technology which can be used for hot spot monitoring'. This enables better fire prevention along the belt conveyor, which plays a positive and effective role in better mine safety
Eruption of a multi-flux-rope system in solar active region 12673 leading to the two largest flares in Solar Cycle 24
Solar active region (AR) 12673 in 2017 September produced two largest flares
in Solar Cycle 24: the X9.3 flare on September 06 and the X8.2 flare on
September 10. We attempt to investigate the evolutions of the two great flares
and their associated complex magnetic system in detail. Aided by the NLFFF
modeling, we identify a double-decker flux rope configuration above the
polarity inversion line (PIL) in the AR core region. The north ends of these
two flux ropes were rooted in a negative- polarity magnetic patch, which began
to move along the PIL and rotate anticlockwise before the X9.3 flare on
September 06. The strong shearing motion and rotation contributed to the
destabilization of the two magnetic flux ropes, of which the upper one
subsequently erupted upward due to the kink-instability. Then another two sets
of twisted loop bundles beside these ropes were disturbed and successively
erupted within 5 minutes like a chain reaction. Similarly, multiple ejecta
components were detected to consecutively erupt during the X8.2 flare occurring
in the same AR on September 10. We examine the evolution of the AR magnetic
fields from September 03 to 06 and find that five dipoles emerged successively
at the east of the main sunspot. The interactions between these dipoles took
place continuously, accompanied by magnetic flux cancellations and strong
shearing motions. In AR 12673, significant flux emergence and successive
interactions between the different emerging dipoles resulted in a complex
magnetic system, accompanied by the formations of multiple flux ropes and
twisted loop bundles. We propose that the eruptions of a multi-flux-rope system
resulted in the two largest flares in Solar Cycle 24.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures. To be published in A&
The spectral energy distribution of galaxies at z > 2.5: Implications from the Herschel/SPIRE color-color diagram
We use the Herschel SPIRE color-color diagram to study the spectral energy
distribution (SED) and the redshift estimation of high-z galaxies. We compiled
a sample of 57 galaxies with spectroscopically confirmed redshifts and SPIRE
detections in all three bands at , and compared their average SPIRE
colors with SED templates from local and high-z libraries. We find that local
SEDs are inconsistent with high-z observations. The local calibrations of the
parameters need to be adjusted to describe the average colors of high-z
galaxies. For high-z libraries, the templates with an evolution from z=0 to 3
can well describe the average colors of the observations at high redshift.
Using these templates, we defined color cuts to divide the SPIRE color-color
diagram into different regions with different mean redshifts. We tested this
method and two other color cut methods using a large sample of 783
Herschel-selected galaxies, and find that although these methods can separate
the sample into populations with different mean redshifts, the dispersion of
redshifts in each population is considerably large. Additional information is
needed for better sampling.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in A&
-analog of the XXZ chain with a boundary
We study analog of the XXZ spin chain with a boundary
magnetic field h. We construct explicit bosonic formulas of the vacuum vector
and the dual vacuum vector with a boundary magnetic field. We derive integral
formulas of the correlation functions.Comment: 24 pages, LaTEX2
Gravitational Corrections to Theory with Spontaneously Broken Symmetry
We consider a complex scalar theory with spontaneously broken
global U(1) symmetry, minimally coupling to perturbatively quantized Einstein
gravity which is treated as an effective theory at the energy well below the
Planck scale. Both the lowest order pure real scalar correction and the
gravitational correction to the renormalization of the Higgs sector in this
model have been investigated. Our results show that the gravitational
correction renders the renormalization of the Higgs sector in this model
inconsistent while the pure real scalar correction to it leads to a compatible
renormalization.Comment: 11 pages, 24 figure
