Modeling and Dynamical Analysis of the Water Resources Supply-Demand System: A Case Study in Haihe River Basin

The relationship between water resources supply and demand is very complex and exhibits nonlinear characteristics, which leads to fewer models that can adequately manage the dynamic evolution process of the water resources supply-demand system. In this paper, we propose a new four-dimensional dynamical model to simulate the internal dynamic evolution process and predict future trends of water supply and demand. At the beginning, a new four-dimensional dynamical model with uncertain parameters is established. Then, the gray code hybrid accelerating genetic algorithm (GHAGA) is adopted to identify the unknown parameters of the system based on the statistic data (1998–2009). Finally, the dynamical analysis of the system is further studied by Lyapunov-exponent, phase portraits, and Lyapunov exponent theory. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed water resources supply-demand system is in a steady state and is suitable for simulating the dynamical characteristics of a complex water supply and demand system. According to the trends of the water supply and demand of several nonlinear simulation cases, the corresponding measures can be proposed to improve the steady development of the water resources supply-demand system

A statistical method to estimate low-energy hadronic cross sections

In this article we propose a model based on the Statistical Bootstrap approach to estimate the cross sections of different hadronic reactions up to a few GeV in c.m.s energy. The method is based on the idea, when two particles collide a so called fireball is formed, which after a short time period decays statistically into a specific final state. To calculate the probabilities we use a phase space description extended with quark combinatorial factors and the possibility of more than one fireball formation. In a few simple cases the probability of a specific final state can be calculated analytically, where we show that the model is able to reproduce the ratios of the considered cross sections. We also show that the model is able to describe proton\,-\,antiproton annihilation at rest. In the latter case we used a numerical method to calculate the more complicated final state probabilities. Additionally, we examined the formation of strange and charmed mesons as well, where we used existing data to fit the relevant model parameters.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures, submitted to EPJ

Superconductivity in monocrystalline YNiSi3 and LuNiSi3

We report the discovery of bulk superconductivity in the ternary intermetallics YNiSi3 and LuNiSi3. High-quality single crystals were grown via the Sn-flux method and studied using magnetization, specific-heat, and resistivity measurements at low temperatures. The critical temperatures obtained from these different techniques are in very good agreement and yield Tc=1.36(3)K and Tc=1.61(2)K for YNiSi3 and LuNiSi3, respectively. Magnetization measurements indicate that both compounds are among the rare cases where type-I superconductivity occurs in a ternary intermetallic, however, the jump in the specific heat at the transition is lower than the value expected from BCS theory (ΔCel/γnTc=1.43) in both materials and is equal to 1.14(9) and 0.71(5) for the Y and Lu compounds, respectively. Resistivity measurements exhibit sharp transitions but with critical fields μ0Hc(0) (≈0.05T for YNiSi3 and ≈0.08T for LuNiSi3) considerably higher than those obtained from the magnetization and specific heat (≈0.01T). First-principles density functional theory calculated electronic structure shows that these compounds have highly anisotropic and complex Fermi surfaces with one electronic and two holelike branches. One hole branch and the electron branch have a large cylindrical topology connecting the first Brillouin-zone boundaries, the former being built up by the hybridization of Y(Lu) d, Ni d, and Si p states, and the latter being built up by Ni d and Si p states. The calculated phononic structures indicate that the coupling of the Y(Lu), Ni d, and Si p electrons in the low-lying optical phonon branches is responsible for the formation of Cooper pairs and the observed superconducting state. Therefore, these compounds can be classified as anisotropic three-dimensional metals with multiband superconducting ground states in the weak-coupling regime
