Characterizations of Nonemptiness and Compactness of the Set of Weakly Efficient Solutions for Convex Vector Optimization and Applications
AbstractIn this paper, we give characterizations for the nonemptiness and compactness of the set of weakly efficient solutions of an unconstrained/constrained convex vector optimization problem with extended vector-valued functions in terms of the 0-coercivity of some scalar functions. Finally, we apply these results to discuss solution characterizations of a constrained convex vector optimization problem in terms of solutions of a sequence of unconstrained vector optimization problems which are constructed with a general nonlinear Lagrangian
Multi-neutron transfer coupling in sub-barrier 32S+90,96Zr fusion reactions
The role of neutron transfers is investigated in the fusion process below the
Coulomb barrier by analyzing 32S+90Zr and 32S+96Zr as benchmark reactions. A
full coupled-channel calculation of the fusion excitation functions has been
performed for both systems by using multi-neutron transfer coupling for the
more neutron-rich reaction. The enhancement of fusion cross sections for
32S+96Zr is well reproduced at sub-barrier energies by NTFus code calculations
including the coupling of the neutron-transfer channels following the Zagrebaev
semiclassical model. We found similar effects for 40Ca+90Zr and 40Ca+96Zr
fusion excitation functions.Comment: Minor corrections, 11 pages, 4 figures, Fusion11 Conference, Saint

A self-consistent method to analyze the effects of the positive Q-value neutron transfers on fusion
AbstractConsidering the present limitation of the need for external parameters to describe the nucleus–nucleus potential and the couplings in the coupled-channels calculations, this work introduces an improved method without adjustable parameter to overcome the limitation and then sort out the positive Q-value neutron transfers (PQNT) effects based on the CCFULL calculations. The corresponding analysis for Ca+Ca, S,Ca+Sn, and S,Ca+Zr provides a reliable proof and a quantitative evaluation for the residual enhancement (RE) related to PQNT. In addition, the RE for S32,Ca40+Zr94 shows an unexpected larger enhancement than S32,Ca40+Zr96 despite the similar multi-neutron transfer Q-values. This method should rather strictly test the fusion models and be helpful for excavating the underlying physics
Geometric Phase and Quantum Phase Transition in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model
The relation between the geometric phase and quantum phase transition has
been discussed in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. Our calculation shows the
ability of geometric phase of the ground state to mark quantum phase transition
in this model. The possibility of the geometric phase or its derivatives as the
universal order parameter of characterizing quantum phase transitions has been
also discussed.Comment: 6 pages and to be published in Phys.Lett.
Interference between the halves of a double-well trap containing a Bose-Einstein condensate
Interference between the halves of a double-well trap containing a
Bose-Einstein condensate is studied. It is found that when the atoms in the two
wells are initially in the coherent state, the intensity exhibits collapses and
revivals, but it does not for the initial Fock states. Whether the initial
states are in the coherent states or in a Fock states, the fidelity time has
nothing to do with collision. We point out that interference and its fidelity
can be adjusted experimentally by properly preparing the number and initial
states of the system.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, accepted by Phy. rev.

Non-Markovian dynamics in a spin star system: The failure of thermalization
In most cases, a small system weakly interacting with a thermal bath will
finally reach the thermal state with the temperature of the bath. We show that
this intuitive picture is not always true by a spin star model where non-Markov
effect predominates in the whole dynamical process. The spin star system
consists a central spin homogeneously interacting with an ensemble of identical
noninteracting spins. We find that the correlation time of the bath is
infinite, which implies that the bath has a perfect memory, and that the
dynamical evolution of the central spin must be non- Markovian. A direct
consequence is that the final state of the central spin is not the thermal
state equilibrium with the bath, but a steady state which depends on its
initial state.Comment: 8 page
Tightly Coupled Array Antennas for Ultra-Wideband Wireless Systems
Tightly coupled array (TCA) antenna has become a hot topic of research recently, due to its
potential of enabling one single antenna array to operate over an extremely wide frequency range. Such an
array antenna is promising for applications in numerous wideband/multi-band and multi-function wireless
systems such as wideband high-resolution radars, 5G mobile communications, satellite communications,
global navigation satellite systems, sensors, wireless power transmission, internet of things and so on. Many
papers on this topic have been published by researchers internationally. This paper provides a detailed
review of the recent development on TCA that utilizes the capacitive coupling. The basic principles and the
historical evolution of the TCAs are introduced firstly. Then, recent development in the analysis and design
of TCAs, such as equivalent circuit analysis, bandwidth limitation analysis, array elements, feed structures,
substrates/superstrates loading, etc., are explained and discussed. The performances of the state-of-the-art
TCAs are presented and a comparison amongst some TCAs reported recently is summarized and discussed.
To illustrate the practical designs of TCA, one case study is provided, and the detailed design procedures of
the TCA are explained so as to demonstrate the TCA design methodology. Simulated results including the
VSWR at different angles of scanning, patterns and antenna gain are shown and discussed. A conclusion
and future work are given in the end
Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose of Pyrus spp. in China
Colletotrichum species are plant pathogens, saprobes, and endophytes on a range of economically important hosts. However, the species occurring on pear remain largely unresolved. To determine the morphology, phylogeny and biology of Colletotrichum species associated with Pyrus plants, a total of 295 samples were collected from cultivated pear species (including P. pyrifolia, P. bretschneideri, and P. communis) from seven major pear-cultivation provinces in China. The pear leaves and fruits affected by anthracnose were sampled and subjected to fungus isolation, resulting in a total of 488 Colletotrichum isolates. Phylogenetic analyses based on six loci (ACT, TUB2, CAL, CHS-1, GAPDH, and ITS) coupled with morphology of 90 representative isolates revealed that they belong to 10 known Colletotrichum species, including C. aenigma, C. citricola, C. conoides, C. fioriniae, C. fructicola, C. gloeosporioides, C. karstii, C. plurivorum, C. siamense, C. wuxiense, and two novel species, described here as C. jinshuiense and C. pyrifoliae. Of these, C. fructicola was the most dominant, occurring on P. pyrifolia and P. bretschneideri in all surveyed provinces except in Shandong, where C. siamense was dominant. In contrast, only C. siamense and C. fioriniae were isolated from P. communis, with the former being dominant. In order to prove Koch's postulates, pathogenicity tests on pear leaves and fruits revealed a broad diversity in pathogenicity and aggressiveness among the species and isolates, of which C. citricola, C. jinshuiense, C. pyrifoliae, and C. conoides appeared to be organ-specific on either leaves or fruits. This study also represents the first reports of C. citricola, C. conoides, C. karstii, C. plurivorum, C. siamense, and C. wuxiense causing anthracnose on pear.Earmarked Fundhttps://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimjhj2020BiochemistryForestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI)GeneticsMicrobiology and Plant Patholog
