    No full text
    This paper explores the production mechanism of the singlet vector lepton (VLL) and the Higgs self-interaction based on the theoretical and computational foundations related to the Higgs (Higgs) boson using the future positive-negative electronegative lepton collider (ILC). The discussion revolves around the discovery of VLLs and Higgs at the ILC and the significance of Higgs self-coupling strength for the Higgs potential. In the end, validation was achieved by conducting two sets of experimental tests. The VLL is being simulated to be found under the ILC collider in one set, and the Higgs coupling accuracy at the ILC collider is being tested in another set. The Higgs potential is dependent on the strength of the Higgs self-coupling, as demonstrated by the explorations and calculations. The light subchannel can be excluded from the mτ′± ∈ [180 GeV, 240GeV] integral luminosity when the ILC is S=500GeV\sqrt S = 500GeV and the integral luminosity L ∈ [3.0fb−1,14.9fb−1]. For the e+ e− → HZZ-process, when n=3, mH = 115GeV, s=3.5TeV\sqrt s = 3.5{\rm{TeV}} MS the upper limit is 5σ found in the unpolarized and +- polarization, where Pe+ = 0.6, Pe− = 0.8 it is able to reach 9.75 TeV and 10.1 TeV, respectively. Positively and negatively polarized linearly colliding beams can make a significant increase in the extra-dimensional effect of the e+ e− → HZZ-process. It is more efficient to exclude and find the monomorphic VLL and even Higgs through the full hadron channel of the LC

    Light dark matter candidate already become a focal point for many years. Dark photon, as a dark sector mediator is favoured by researchers. Astronomical data have already gives the constrains between the dark photon mass and kinetic mixing parameter. The maverick top partners model give a new way to produce the dark photon. If the mass of dark photon is around 100 MeV, the branching ratio for decaying into e+e−e^{+}e^{-} pair is 1, giving rise to a lepton-jet signal in the detector. The particle level simulation has been done last year. This report will give a brief introduction of the target dark photon and continue the detector level analysis. By probing signal characteristics, the top quark is reconstructed. But we haven't obtained the correct dark photon signal because the overlap removal of the electron signal

    A Symmetrical Quartz-Based Magnetoelectric Sensor for Pico-Tesla Magnetic Field Detection

    No full text
    The magnetic sensor should acquire a high detection ability over a wide low-frequency (LF) band of 1–100 Hz for biomagnetic measurements due to the large LF noise. This work presents a magnetic sensor with a modulation coil based on the tri-layer symmetrical Metglas/Quartz/Metglas laminate for LF magnetic fields detection. The Metglas/Quartz/Metglas laminate was fabricated using a rectangle quartz plate with twenty Metglas foils epoxy glued symmetrically. Additionally, the coil can be used to generate modulation voltage. The limit of detection (LOD) of the fabricated symmetrical magnetoelectric (ME) sensor has been measured and optimized without DC bias via frequency modulation technique. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ME sensor can detect a small magnetic field of 11 pT at 1 Hz. Moreover, the Metglas thickness and the modulation voltage also have been optimized and the detection ability of the fabricated sensor has been enhanced with a lower LOD value of 2.7 pT at 1 Hz. This paper provides a symmetrical magnetoelectric sensor using piezoelectric quartz material for LF pico-Tesla magnetic field signals detection. Additionally, the symmetrical sensor without bias can provide a cost-effective and high-performance approach for LF magnetic field detection

    Driven Factors Analysis of China’s Irrigation Water Use Efficiency by Stepwise Regression and Principal Component Analysis

    No full text
    This paper introduces an integrated approach to find out the major factors influencing efficiency of irrigation water use in China. It combines multiple stepwise regression (MSR) and principal component analysis (PCA) to obtain more realistic results. In real world case studies, classical linear regression model often involves too many explanatory variables and the linear correlation issue among variables cannot be eliminated. Linearly correlated variables will cause the invalidity of the factor analysis results. To overcome this issue and reduce the number of the variables, PCA technique has been used combining with MSR. As such, the irrigation water use status in China was analyzed to find out the five major factors that have significant impacts on irrigation water use efficiency. To illustrate the performance of the proposed approach, the calculation based on real data was conducted and the results were shown in this paper

    Exosomal LncRNAs in Gastrointestinal Cancer: Biological Functions and Emerging Clinical Applications

    No full text
    Due to the lack of specific and effective biomarkers and therapeutic targets, the early diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal cancer remain unsatisfactory. As a type of nanosized vesicles derived from living cells, exosomes mediate cell-to-cell communication by transporting bioactive molecules, thus participating in the regulation of many pathophysiological processes. Recent evidence has revealed that several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are enriched in exosomes. Exosomes-mediated lncRNAs delivery is critically involved in various aspects of gastrointestinal cancer progression, such as tumor proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, stemness, immune microenvironment, and drug resistance. Exosomal lncRNAs represent promising candidates to act as the diagnosis biomarkers and anti-tumor targets. This review introduces the major characteristics of exosomes and lncRNAs and describes the biological functions of exosomal lncRNAs in gastrointestinal cancer development. The preclinical studies on using exosomal lncRNAs to monitor and treat gastrointestinal cancer are also discussed, and the opportunities and challenges for translating them into clinical practice are evaluated

    Changes in irrigation water-use efficiency are related closely to agricultural development. Clarifying the driving factors of irrigation water-use efficiency change at different agricultural development stages is beneficial for buffering the contradiction between the protection of water resources and massive agricultural water consumption. It also has theoretical and application value when it comes to elucidating the driving characteristics of spatial changes in irrigation water-use efficiency observed among the different provinces of China. This paper analyzes driving factors of irrigation water-use change based on a study of literature and a field survey. It selects 21 indices from five aspects of climatic change, resource endowment, economic situation, technological level, and management mode as the system of driving factors for irrigation water-use change. This article then uses statistical data on economic and social development in the 31 provinces of China in 2009, and applies the principal component analysis (PCA) method to extract the main driving factors affecting irrigation water-use efficiency change. After calculation of factor scores, clustering analysis is conducted on the 31 provinces to explore regional differences among the driving factors of irrigation water-use efficiency change. The results show that these can be attributed to the factors of agricultural economic development, water-saving irrigation technology, water resource endowment, and dissipation. The 31 provinces can be divided into five types: agricultural economy strong driving type; agricultural economy dominant type; industrial economy dominant type; agriculture strong development type; and coordinated driving type. In highly agricultural provinces, mature irrigation district management and water-saving measures influence the efficiency of irrigation water-use, making these strong positive driving factors. In highly industrial provinces, changes in irrigation water-use efficiency are mainly driven by economic development and structural adjustment, making these weak driving factors

    Jiangsu is a major province located in the east of China, consuming a large amount of water resources. It is considered that improving the comprehensive water use efficiency has an important significance to achieve sustainable development of the economy in Jiangsu. Through extensive literature research and investigation of Jiangsu Province, this paper establishes comprehensive water use efficiency index system using water consumption per ten thousand dollar gross domestic product (WC/104GDP)astheresearchtarget.Intheindexsystem,resourcefactorssuchassurfacewaterresources(SW),groundwaterresources(GW),precipitation(PT),waterresourcespercapita(PW),waterconsumptionpercapita(PC)andirrigationareapercapita(PI)cannotbeartificiallyaltered.Furthermore,thevariationamplitudeofresourcefactorsisverysmall.Itshowsthatthelinearregressionmodelisnotsuitabletoanalyzetheresourcefactorsbychangingtheindependentvariables.Inviewofthissituation,thispaperintroducesimpulseresponsefunctiononthebasisofvectorautoregressivemodel(VAR)toinvestigatetheintrinsiclinkbetweenresourcefactorsandWC/104 GDP) as the research target. In the index system, resource factors such as surface water resources (SW), groundwater resources (GW), precipitation (PT), water resources per capita (PW), water consumption per capita (PC) and irrigation area per capita (PI) cannot be artificially altered. Furthermore, the variation amplitude of resource factors is very small. It shows that the linear regression model is not suitable to analyze the resource factors by changing the independent variables. In view of this situation, this paper introduces impulse response function on the basis of vector autoregressive model (VAR) to investigate the intrinsic link between resource factors and WC/104 GDP in Jiangsu Province. The results show that resource factors have a great impact on WC/$104 GDP in Jiangsu, and the per capita water resources (PW) has the most significant impact
