High Current Matching over Full-Swing and Low-Glitch Charge Pump Circuit for PLLs

A high current matching over full-swing and low-glitch charge pump (CP) circuit is proposed. The current of the CP is split into two identical branches having one-half the original current. The two branches are connected in source-coupled structure, and a two-stage amplifier is used to regulate the common-source voltage for the minimum current mismatch. The proposed CP is designed in TSMC 0.18µm CMOS technology with a power supply of 1.8 V. SpectreRF based simulation results show the mismatch between the current source and the current sink is less than 0.1% while the current is 40 µA and output swing is 1.32 V ranging from 0.2 V to 1.52 V. Moreover, the transient output current presents nearly no glitches. The simulation results verify the usage of the CP in PLLs with the maximum tuning range from the voltage-controlled oscillator, as well as the low power supply applications

Estimate black hole masses of AGNs using ultraviolet emission line properties

Based on the measured sizes of broad line region of the reverberation-mapping AGN sample, two new empirical relations are introduced to estimate the central black hole masses of radio-loud high-redshift ($z > 0.5$) AGNs. First, using the archival $IUE/HST$ spectroscopy data at UV band for the reverberation-mapping objects, we obtained two new empirical relations between the BLR size and \Mg/\C emission line luminosity. Secondly, using the newly determined black hole masses of the reverberation-mapping sample for calibration, two new relationships for determination of black hole mass with the full width of half maximum and the luminosity of \Mg/\C line are also found. We then apply the relations to estimate the black hole masses of AGNs in Large Bright Quasar Surveyq and a sample of radio-loud quasars. For the objects with small radio-loudness, the black hole mass estimated using the R_{\rm BLR} - L_{\eMg/\eC} relation is consistent with that from the $R_{BLR} - L_{3000\AA/1350 \AA}$ relation. But for radio-loud AGNs, the mass estimated from the R_{BLR} - L_{\eMg/\eC} relation is systematically lower than that from the continuum luminosity $L_{3000\AA/1350\AA}$. Because jets could have significant contributions to the UV/optical continuum luminosity of radio-loud AGNs, we emphasized again that for radio-loud AGNs, the emission line luminosity may be a better tracer of the ionizing luminosity than the continuum luminosity, so that the relations between the BLR size and UV emission line luminosity should be used to estimate the black hole masses of high redshift radio-loud AGNs.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure

Distributivity between extended nullnorms and uninorms on fuzzy truth values

This paper mainly investigates the distributive laws between extended nullnorms and uninorms on fuzzy truth values under the condition that the nullnorm is conditionally distributive over the uninorm. It presents the distributive laws between the extended nullnorm and t-conorm, and the left and right distributive laws between the extended generalization nullnorm and uninorm, where a generalization nullnorm is an operator from the class of aggregation operators with absorbing element that generalizes a nullnorm.Comment: 2

Anomalous pressure behavior of tangential modes in single-wall carbon nanotubes

Using the molecular dynamics simulations and the force constant model we have studied the Raman-active tangential modes (TMs) of a (10, 0) single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) under hydrostatic pressure. With increasing pressure, the atomic motions in the three TMs present obvious diversities. The pressure derivative of E1g, A1g, and E2g mode frequency shows an increased value (), a constant value (), and a negative value () above 5.3 GPa, respectively. The intrinsic characteristics of TMs consumedly help to understand the essence of the experimental T band of CNT. The anomalous pressure behavior of the TMs frequencies may be originated from the tube symmetry alteration from D10h to D2h then to C2h.Comment: 15 pages, 3 pages, submitted to Phys. Rev.

罕见混合型完全性肺静脉异位连接1例

Cases of mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection were rare, while cases of the vertical vein drained to jugular vein were even rarer. Pay attention to the size of pulmonary vein and left atrial anastomosis, increase the left atrium volume with pericardial patch, which play an important role to prevent postoperative pulmonary edema caused by anastomosis stenosis, poor back flow of coronary sinus and smaller left atrial volume.混合型完全性肺静脉异位连接（total anomalous pulmonary venous connection，TAPVC）罕见，而垂直静脉异位引流至颈静脉者更为罕见。术中应注意肺静脉与左房吻合口应足够大，心包补片应扩大左心房容积，防治术后吻合口狭窄、冠状静脉窦回流不畅、以及左房容积过小引起的肺水肿等并发症

The black hole fundamental plane from a uniform sample of radio and X-ray emitting broad line AGNs

We derived the black hole fundamental plane relationship among the 1.4GHz radio luminosity (L_r), 0.1-2.4keV X-ray luminosity (L_X), and black hole mass (M) from a uniform broad line SDSS AGN sample including both radio loud and radio quiet X-ray emitting sources. We found in our sample that the fundamental plane relation has a very weak dependence on the black hole mass, and a tight correlation also exists between the Eddington luminosity scaled X-ray and radio luminosities for the radio quiet subsample. Additionally, we noticed that the radio quiet and radio loud AGNs have different power-law slopes in the radio--X-ray non-linear relationship. The radio loud sample displays a slope of 1.39, which seems consistent with the jet dominated X-ray model. However, it may also be partly due to the relativistic beaming effect. For radio quiet sample the slope of the radio--X-ray relationship is about 0.85, which is possibly consistent with the theoretical prediction from the accretion flow dominated X-ray model. We briefly discuss the reason why our derived relationship is different from some previous works and expect the future spectral studies in radio and X-ray bands on individual sources in our sample to confirm our result.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, ApJ accepte

Detecting Majorana fermions by nonlocal entanglement between quantum dots

Nonlocal entanglement between two quantum dots can be generated through Majorana fermions. The two Majorana fermions at the ends of an one-dimensional topological superconductor form a nonlocal fermion level, coupling to the occupation states of two quantum dots put close to the two ends, and the entire system will come into an entangled state. After introducing a charging energy by a capacitor, entanglement of the entire system can manifest itself through the nonlocal entanglement between the two quantum dots. That is, when measuring the electron occupations of the quantum dots, the measurement result of one quantum dot will influence the measurement result of the other quantum dot. This nonlocal entanglement between the two quantum dots is a strong evidence of the nonlocal nature of the fermion level constructed by two Majorana fermions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
