Fiber Based Multiple-Access Optical Frequency Dissemination
We demonstrate a fiber based multiple-access optical frequency dissemination
scheme. Without using any additional laser sources, we reproduce the stable
disseminated frequency at an arbitrary point of fiber link. Relative frequency
stability of 3E10^{-16}/s and 4E10^{-18}/10^4s is obtained. A branching fiber
network for highly-precision synchronization of optical frequency is made
possible by this method and its applications are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

A blowout jet associated with one obvious extreme-ultraviolet wave and one complicated coronal mass ejection event
In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of a coronal blowout jet
eruption which was associated with an obvious extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave
and one complicated coronal mass ejection (CME) event based on the
multi-wavelength and multi-view-angle observations from {\sl Solar Dynamics
Observatory} and {\sl Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory}. It is found
that the triggering of the blowout jet was due to the emergence and
cancellation of magnetic fluxes on the photosphere. During the rising stage of
the jet, the EUV wave appeared just ahead of the jet top, lasting about 4
minutes and at a speed of 458 - \speed{762}. In addition, obvious dark material
is observed along the EUV jet body, which confirms the observation of a
mini-filament eruption at the jet base in the chromosphere. Interestingly, two
distinct but overlapped CME structures can be observed in corona together with
the eruption of the blowout jet. One is in narrow jet-shape, while the other
one is in bubble-shape. The jet-shaped component was unambiguously related with
the outwardly running jet itself, while the bubble-like one might either be
produced due to the reconstruction of the high coronal fields or by the
internal reconnection during the mini-filament ejection according to the
double-CME blowout jet model firstly proposed by Shen et al. (2012b),
suggesting more observational evidence should be supplied to clear the current
ambiguity based on large samples of blowout jets in future studies.Comment: APJ, Accepted October 19, 201
Duality Symmetry in Momentum Frame
Siegel's action is generalized to the D=2(p+1) (p even) dimensional
space-time. The investigation of self-duality of chiral p-forms is extended to
the momentum frame, using Siegel's action of chiral bosons in two space-time
dimensions and its generalization in higher dimensions as examples. The whole
procedure of investigation is realized in the momentum space which relates to
the configuration space through the Fourier transformation of fields. These
actions correspond to non-local Lagrangians in the momentum frame. The
self-duality of them with respect to dualization of chiral fields is uncovered.
The relationship between two self-dual tensors in momentum space, whose similar
form appears in configuration space, plays an important role in the
calculation, that is, its application realizes solving algebraically an
integral equation.Comment: 11 pages, no figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
A new small satellite sunspot triggering recurrent standard- and blowout-coronal jets
In this paper,we report a detailed analysis of recurrent jets originated from
a location with emerging, canceling and converging negative magnetic field at
the east edge of NOAA active region AR11166 from 2011 March 09 to 10. The event
presented several interesting features. First, a satellite sunspot appeared and
collided with a pre-existing opposite polarity magnetic field and caused a
recurrent solar jet event. Second, the evolution of the jets showed
blowout-like nature and standard characteristics. Third, the satellite sunspot
exhibited a motion toward southeast of AR11166 and merged with the emerging
flux near the opposite polarity sunspot penumbra, which afterward, due to flux
convergence and cancellation episodes, caused recurrent jets. Fourth, three of
the blowout jets associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs), were observed
from field of view of the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory. Fifth,
almost all the blowout jet eruptions were accompanied with flares or with more
intense brightening in the jet base region, while almost standard jets did not
manifest such obvious feature during eruptions. The most important, the blowout
jets were inclined to faster and larger scale than the standard jets. The
standard jets instead were inclined to relative longer-lasting. The obvious
shearing and twisting motions of the magnetic field may be interpreted as due
to the shearing and twisting motions for a blowout jet eruption. From the
statistical results, about 30% blowout jets directly developed into CMEs. It
suggests that the blowout jets and CMEs should have a tight relationship.Comment: ApJ 18 pages, 7 figure
Involvement of Methoprene‐tolerant and Krüppel homolog 1 in juvenile hormone‐mediated vitellogenesis of female Liposcelis entomophila (end.) (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae)
Methoprene-tolerant (Met) as an intracellular receptor of juvenile hormone (JH) and the Krüppel-homolog 1 (Kr-h1) as a JH-inducible transcription factor had been proved to contribute to insect reproduction. Their functions vary in different insect orders, however, they are not clear in Psocoptera. In this study, LeMet and LeKr-h1 were identified and their roles in vitellogenesis and ovarian development were investigated in Liposcelis entomophila (Enderlein). Treatment with exogenous JH III significantly induced the expression of LeKr-h1, LeVg, and LeVgR. Furthermore, silencing LeMet and LeKr-h1 remarkably reduced the transcription of LeVg and LeVgR, disrupted the production of Vg in fat body and the uptake of Vg by oocytes, and ultimately led to a decline in fecundity. The results indicated that the JH signaling pathway was essential to the reproductive process of this species. Interestingly, knockdown of LeMet or LeKr-h1 also resulted in fluctuations in the expression of FoxO, indicating the complex regulatory interactions between different hormone factors. Besides, knockdown of both LeMet and LeKr-h1 significantly increased L. entomophila mortality. Our study provides initial insight into the roles of JH signaling in the female reproduction of psocids and provided evidence that RNAi-mediated knockdown of Met or Kr-h1 is a potential pest control strategy
