    We present a study of the waiting time distributions (WTDs) of solar energetic particle (SEP) events observed with the spacecraft WINDWIND and GOESGOES. Both the WTDs of solar electron events (SEEs) and solar proton events (SPEs) display a power-law tail Δtγ\sim \Delta t^{-\gamma}. The SEEs display a broken power-law WTD. The power-law index is γ1=\gamma_{1} = 0.99 for the short waiting times (100 hours). The break of the WTD of SEEs is probably due to the modulation of the corotating interaction regions (CIRs). The power-law index γ\gamma \sim 1.82 is derived for the WTD of SPEs that is consistent with the WTD of type II radio bursts, indicating a close relationship between the shock wave and the production of energetic protons. The WTDs of SEP events can be modeled with a non-stationary Poisson process which was proposed to understand the waiting time statistics of solar flares (Wheatland 2000; Aschwanden &\& McTiernan 2010). We generalize the method and find that, if the SEP event rate λ=1/Δt\lambda = 1/\Delta t varies as the time distribution of event rate f(λ)=Aλαexp(βλ)f(\lambda) = A \lambda^{-\alpha}exp(-\beta \lambda), the time-dependent Poisson distribution can produce a power-law tail WTD Δtα3\sim \Delta t^{\alpha - 3}, where 0α<20 \leq \alpha < 2.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ Letter

    Advantages of the multinucleon transfer reactions based on 238U target for producing neutron-rich isotopes around N = 126

    Full text link
    The mechanism of multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions for producing neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 is investigated within two different theoretical frameworks: dinuclear system (DNS) model and isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. The effects of mass asymmetry relaxation, N=Z equilibration, and shell closures on production cross sections of neutron-rich heavy nuclei are investigated. For the first time, the advantages for producing neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 is found in MNT reactions based on 238U target. We propose the reactions with 238U target for producing unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 in the future.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

    Low dimensional cohomology of general conformal algebras gcNgc_N

    Full text link
    We compute the low dimensional cohomologies H~q(gcN,C)\tilde H^q(gc_N,C), H^q(gc_N,\C) of the infinite rank general Lie conformal algebras gcNgc_N with trivial coefficients for q3,N=1q\le3, N=1 or q2,N2q\le2, N\ge2. We also prove that the cohomology of gcNgc_N with coefficients in its natural module is trivial, i.e., H^*(gc_N,\C[\ptl]^N)=0; thus partially solve an open problem of Bakalov-Kac-Voronov in [{\it Comm. Math. Phys.,} {\bf200} (1999), 561-598].Comment: 18 page

    Virtual sensors for active noise control in acoustic–structural coupled enclosures using structural sensing: robust virtual sensor design

    The work was aimed to develop a robust virtual sensing design methodology for sensing and active control applications of vibro-acoustic systems. The proposed virtual sensor was designed to estimate a broadband acoustic interior sound pressure using structural sensors, with robustness against certain dynamic uncertainties occurring in an acoustic–structural coupled enclosure. A convex combination of Kalman sub-filters was used during the design, accommodating different sets of perturbed dynamic model of the vibro-acoustic enclosure. A minimax optimization problem was set up to determine an optimal convex combination of Kalman sub-filters, ensuring an optimal worst-case vir- tual sensing performance. The virtual sensing and active noise control performance was numerically investigated on a rectangular panel-cavity system. It was demonstrated that the proposed virtual sen- sor could accurately estimate the interior sound pressure, particularly the one dominated by cavity- controlled modes, by using a structural sensor. With such a virtual sensing technique, effective active noise control performance was also obtained even for the worst-case dynamics

    Research on the Sustainability of the Enterprise Business Ecosystem from the Perspective of Boundary:The China Case

    In the context of the Internet, the business environment shows great uncertainty. This kind of uncertainty has not only changed the original competitive boundary of enterprise completely, but also the competition rules of enterprise. The cooperation of enterprises with suppliers, producers, sellers, customers, other organizations and stakeholders is getting closer and closer. The competition among enterprises is no longer the competition between individual enterprises, but based on the co-evolution under the business ecosystem. Therefore, how to create a good business ecosystem and sustainable development is the main problem faced by enterprises. This paper conducts an exploratory case study on the sustainability of the business ecosystem of enterprises from the perspective of boundary, to provide a new theoretical basis for the sustainable development of enterprises. This study investigates the specific impact of various system elements on the sustainable development of enterprises, summarizes the theoretical model, and finally provides feasible suggestions on promoting the sustainable development of the business ecosystem from the perspective of boundary
