Deterministic Constructions of Binary Measurement Matrices from Finite Geometry
Deterministic constructions of measurement matrices in compressed sensing
(CS) are considered in this paper. The constructions are inspired by the recent
discovery of Dimakis, Smarandache and Vontobel which says that parity-check
matrices of good low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can be used as
{provably} good measurement matrices for compressed sensing under
-minimization. The performance of the proposed binary measurement
matrices is mainly theoretically analyzed with the help of the analyzing
methods and results from (finite geometry) LDPC codes. Particularly, several
lower bounds of the spark (i.e., the smallest number of columns that are
linearly dependent, which totally characterizes the recovery performance of
-minimization) of general binary matrices and finite geometry matrices
are obtained and they improve the previously known results in most cases.
Simulation results show that the proposed matrices perform comparably to,
sometimes even better than, the corresponding Gaussian random matrices.
Moreover, the proposed matrices are sparse, binary, and most of them have
cyclic or quasi-cyclic structure, which will make the hardware realization
convenient and easy.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figure
Spectral and transport properties from lattice QCD
In these lecture notes we will discuss recent progress in extracting spectral
and transport properties from lattice QCD. We will focus on results of probes
of the thermal QCD medium as well as transport coefficients which are important
ingredients for hydrodynamic and transport models that describe the evolution
of the produced medium. These include electromagnetic probes, like the rates of
emitted photons and dileptons, quarkonium spectral functions as well as
transport coefficients like the electrical conductivity or heavy flavor
diffusion coefficients of the quark gluon plasma (QGP). All these real time
quantities are encoded in the vector meson spectral function. A direct
determination of the spectral functions is not possible in Euclidean lattice
QCD calculations but they can be analytically continued from imaginary to real
time. Therefore it is possible to relate the spectral function to the
corresponding Euclidean correlation functions. In the following sections we
will discuss the procedure to determine the required correlation functions and
the extraction of the spectral functions from lattice QCD correlators. We will
illustrate the concepts and methods to obtain spectral functions and related
physical observables from continuum extrapolated correlation functions. We will
focus here on results obtained from continuum extrapolated lattice correlation
functions, which requires large and fine lattices, which so far was only
possible in quenched approximation. We will only give a brief introduction to
lattice QCD and refer to the textbooks [1,2,3,4] and lecture notes [5] for more
detailed introductions to lattice field theory. For the topics addressed in
this lecture note we also like to refer to the overview articles on QCD
thermodynamics and the QCD phase transition [5,6,7] and quarkonium in extreme
conditions [8].Comment: Lectures delivered at the 53rd Karpacz Winter School of Theoretical

Study of charm and beauty in QGP from unquenched lattice QCD
We present charmonium and bottomonium correlators and corresponding
reconstructed spectral functions from full QCD calculations in the pseudoscalar
channel. Correlators are obtained using a mixed-action approach,
clover-improved Wilson valence quarks on gauge field configurations generated
with HISQ sea quarks, with physical strange quark masses and light
quark masses corresponding to MeV. The charm and bottom quark
masses are tuned to reproduce the experimental mass spectrum of the spin
averaged quarkonium vector mesons from the particle data group. For the
spectral reconstruction, we use models based on perturbative spectral functions
from different frequency regions like resummed thermal contributions around the
threshold from pNRQCD and vacuum contributions well above the threshold. We
show preliminary results of the reconstructed spectral function obtained for
the first time in our study for full QCD
Biomechanics Characteristics of New Type Artificial Hip Joint
The structure, geometrical shape and material are the three main parts of the prostheses. This research focuses on the geometrical shape analysis. The geometrical shape of human natural femoral head is similar to the ellipse, but, the artificial femoral head is rotundity shape. There is difference between ellipse and rotundity femoral head. Two models are developed and analyzed in this paper under same conditions used Finite element analysis method. Based on the calculation results, it is shown that the ellipse shape femoral head have the similar characteristics to the natural joint than rotundity model. The ellipse has the more lowness stress distribution area and more small distortion magnitude than rotundity shape artificial femoral head. It should have the more kind effect replace rotundity femoral head with ellipse shape artificial formal head. Keywords: hip joint; prosthesis design; finite element analysis; biomechanic
Heavy Quark Diffusion from 2+1 Flavor Lattice QCD
We present the first calculations of the heavy flavor diffusion coefficient
using lattice QCD with light dynamical quarks. For temperatures
, the heavy quark spatial diffusion
coefficient is found to be significantly smaller than previous quenched lattice
QCD and recent phenomenological estimates. The result implies very fast
hydrodynamization of heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma created during
ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collision experiments
Continuum extrapolation of the gradient-flowed color-magnetic correlator at
In a recently published work we employ gradient flow on the lattice to
extract the leading contribution of the heavy quark momentum diffusion
coefficient in the heavy quark limit from calculations of a well-known
two-point function of color-electric field operators. In this article we want
to report the progress of calculating the recently derived color-magnetic
correlator that encodes a finite mass correction to this transport coefficient.
The calculations we present here are based on the same ensemble of quenched
gauge configurations at that we previously used for the
color-electric correlator.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, presented at the 38th International Symposium on

[N,N′-Bis(4-chlorobenzyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloridozinc(II)
In the title complex, [ZnCl2(C16H18Cl2N2)], the asymmetric unit contains one molecule and two half-molecules, which have similar geometric parameters; in the latter two molecules each Zn atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. The environment about each ZnII atom is distorted tetrahedral with coordination of two terminal Cl atoms and two N atoms of the N,N′-bis(4-chlorobenzyl)ethane-1,2-diamine ligand. Four N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a chain of R
