Left-Right Asymmetry of Weak Interaction Mass of Polarized Fermions in Flight
The left-right polarization-dependent asymmetry of the weak interaction mass
is investigated. Based on the Standard Model, the calculation shows that the
weak interaction mass of left-handed polarized fermions is always greater than
that of right-handed polarized fermions in flight with the same velocity in any
inertial frame. The asymmetry of the weak interaction mass might be very
important to the investigation of neutrino mass and would have an important
significance for understanding the parity nonconservation in weak interactions.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, corrected calculatio
Experimental tests on the lifetime Asymmetry
The experimental test problem of the left-right polarization-dependent
lifetime asymmetry is discussed. It shows that the existing experiments cannot
demonstrate the lifetime asymmetry to be right or wrong after analyzing the
measurements on the neutron, the muon and the tau lifetime, as well as the
experiment. However, It is pointed out emphatically that the SLD and the
E158 experiments, the measurements of the left-right integrated cross section
asymmetry in boson production by collisions and by
electron-electron M{\o}ller scattering, can indirectly demonstrate the lifetime
asymmetry. In order to directly demonstrate the lifetime asymmetry, we propose
some possible experiments on the decays of polarized muons. The precise
measurement of the lifetime asymmetry could have important significance for
building a muon collider, also in cosmology and astrophysics. It would provide
a sensitive test of the standard model in particle physics and allow for
exploration of the possible interactions.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
Lattice QCD at non-zero isospin chemical potential
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at non-zero isospin chemical potential is
studied in a canonical approach by analyzing systems of fixed isospin number
density. To construct these systems, we develop a range of new algorithms for
performing the factorially large numbers of Wick contractions required in
multi-hadron systems. We then use these methods to study systems with the
quantum numbers of up to 72 's on three ensembles of gauge
configurations with spatial extents 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 fm, and light
quark masses corresponding to a pion mass of {390 MeV}. The ground state
energies of these systems are extracted and the volume dependence of these
energies is utilized to determine the two- and three- body interactions amongst
's. The systems studied correspond to isospin densities of up to
and probe isospin chemical potentials, ,
in the range m_\pi\ \lsim \mu_I\ \lsim 4.5\ m_\pi, allowing us to investigate
aspects of the QCD phase diagram at low temperature and for varying isospin
chemical potential. By studying the energy density of the system, we provide
numerical evidence for the conjectured transition of the system to a
Bose-Einstein condensed phase at \mu_I\ \gsim m_\pi.Comment: 32 pages, 22 figure
Quantum computation in decoherence-free subspace with superconducting devices
We propose a scheme to implement quantum computation in decoherence-free
subspace with superconducting devices inside a cavity by unconventional
geometric manipulation. Universal single-qubit gates in encoded qubit can be
achieved with cavity assisted interaction. A measurement-based two-qubit
Controlled-Not gate is produced with parity measurements assisted by an
auxiliary superconducting device and followed by prescribed single-qubit gates.
The measurement of currents on two parallel devices can realize a projective
measurement, which is equivalent to the parity measurement on the involved
devices.Comment: v2: thoroughly rewritten version with title and motivation changed;

PDMS/PVA composite ferroelectret for improved energy harvesting performance
This paper address the PDMS ferroelectret discharge issue for improved long- term energy harvesting performance. The PDMS/PVA ferroelectret is fabricated using a 3D-printed plastic mould technology and a functional PVA composite layer is introduced. The PDMS/PVA composite ferroelectret achieved 80% piezoelectric coefficient d33 remaining, compared with 40% without the proposed layer over 72 hours. Further, the retained percentage of output voltage is about 73% over 72 hours
Nonadiabatic Geometric Quantum Computation Using A Single-loop Scenario
A single-loop scenario is proposed to realize nonadiabatic geometric quantum
computation. Conventionally, a so-called multi-loop approach is used to remove
the dynamical phase accumulated in the operation process for geometric quantum
gates. More intriguingly, we here illustrate in detail how to use a special
single-loop method to remove the dynamical phase and thus to construct a set of
universal quantum gates based on the nonadiabatic geometric phase shift. The
present scheme is applicable to NMR systems and may be feasible in other
physical systems.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
An Investigation, Using Standard Experimental Techniques, to Determine FLCs at Elevated Temperature for Aluminium Alloys
An experimental procedure has been developed for the determination of FLCs at elevated temperatures. The GOM ARGUS system was employed for measuring surface strain based on pre-applied grids (pattern), and limit strains were determined according to the ISO 12004-2:2008 standard. Forming limit curves (FLCs) have been determined for AA5754 under warm forming conditions in an isothermal environment. The tests were carried out at various temperatures up to 300oC and forming speeds ranging from 5 – 300 mm s-1 . Results reveal the significant effect of both temperature and forming speed on FLCs of AA5754. Formability increases with increasing temperature above 200oC. Formability also increases with decreasing speed. The presented FLC results show that the best formability exists at low forming speed and the high temperature end of the warm forming range

Life cycle assessment of white roof and sedum-tray garden roof for office buildings in China
White roof (WR) and Sedum lineare tray garden roof (STGR) have been convinced to improve the energy-efficiency and provide various benefits for conventional impervious grey roofs. Some national and local standards have standardized and recommended these technologies in existing building retrofits, however, they do not include assessment and choice of a particular roof retrofit in different climates. This paper presents a 40-year life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of an office building roof retrofitted by adding either WR or STGR over an existing grey roof in five cities, located in four Chinese climate zones. The LCCA find that the WR retrofits exhibit positive life-cycle net savings (NS) in warm winter zones, ranging 5.7–35.1 CNY/m 2 , and STGR retrofits have negative NS of -81.3– -16.7 CNY/m 2 in all climate zones. The NS of both WR and STGR generally tend to improve as one moves from the coldest cities to the warmest cities. LCCA results suggest that adding new building codes concerning crediting or prescribing WR and STGR retrofits into office buildings with grey roofs in hot summer climate zones and warm winter zone in China, respectively. And featured by more specific requirements, the localized Technical Norms help promote the implementation of new building codes
