Novel Non-equilibrium Phase Transition Caused by Non-linear Hadronic-quark Phase Structure
We consider how the occurrence of first-order phase transitions in
non-constant pressure differs from those at constant pressure. The former has
shown the non-linear phase structure of mixed matter, which implies a particle
number dependence of the binding energies of the two species. If the mixed
matter is mixed hadron-quark phase, nucleon outgoing from hadronic phase and
ingoing to quark phase probably reduces the system to a non-equilibrium state,
in other words, there exists the imbalance of the two phases when deconfinement
takes place. This novel non-equilibrium process is very analogous to the
nuclear reactions that nuclei emit neutrons and absorb them under appropriate
conditions. We present self-consistent thermodynamics in description for the
processes and identify the microphysics responsible for the processes. The
microphysics is an inevitable consequence of non-linear phase structure instead
of the effect of an additional dissipation force. When applying our findings to
the neutron star containing mixed hadron-quark matter, it is found that the
newly discovered energy release might strongly change the thermal evolution
behavior of the star.Comment: 18pages,3figures;to be accepted for publication in Physics Letters
Structure of Quark Stars
This paper gives an brief overview of the structure of hypothetical strange
quarks stars (quark stars, for short), which are made of absolutely stable
3-flavor strange quark matter. Such objects can be either bare or enveloped in
thin nuclear crusts, which consist of heavy ions immersed in an electron gas.
In contrast to neutron stars, the structure of quark stars is determined by two
(rather than one) parameters, the central star density and the density at the
base of the crust. If bare, quark stars possess ultra-high electric fields on
the order of 10^{18} to 10^{19} V/cm. These features render the properties of
quark stars more multifaceted than those of neutron stars and may allow one to
observationally distinguish quark stars from neutron stars.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; Paper presented at the IAU Symposium 291, Neutron

The creative industrial park : formation path and evolution mechanism
This paper has built a three-stage assumption of creative industrial park on the base of evolutionary economics, which are the gather of units, the construction of interface and the development of network. The gather of units is a reflection of resource search, the construction of interface is a need of identity, and the development of network is a result of multi-dimensional expansion.In the three-stage evolution, the creative industrial park increases constantly their evolution level from the simple geographic gathered to the division and cooperation of labor, until the formation of novel systems. Then this paper analyzes the 798 creative industrial park using the three-stage assumption. This paper finds the main problem of 798’s self-destructing after the low level development of the third stage is the exclusion of the commercial prosperity to the art production. Accordingly,the paper puts forword four modes of promoting the integration between art and commerce. At last, this paper argues the different characteristics of the creative industrial park from other industrial parks. On the angle of formation path, the essence of creative industries is integration of culture and economy, technology. On the angle of evolution mechanism, it reflects novel characteristic of unit, identity characteristic of interface, and co-creation characteristic of network.creative industrial park; formation path; evolution mechanism; integration of culture,economy,and technology
