Coexistence of Localized and Extended States in Disordered Systems

It is commonly believed that Anderson localized states and extended states do not coexist at the same energy. Here we propose a simple mechanism to achieve the coexistence of localized and extended states in a band in a class of disordered quasi-1D and quasi-2D systems. The systems are partially disordered in a way that a band of extended states always exists, not affected by the randomness, whereas the states in all other bands become localized. The extended states can overlap with the localized states both in energy and in space, achieving the aforementioned coexistence. We demonstrate such coexistence in disordered multi-chain and multi-layer systems.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF CHANGES OF AIR RESISTANCE ATHLETES’ TAKING-OFF SPEED IN FREESTYLE SKIING AERIALS

Freestyle skiing is a competitive sport in the open-air environment. The air resistance that athlete meets in the process of slipping, transition and entering stage determines the athletes’ taking-off speed, thus affecting the performance in competition. This paper set up a function model of frontal area and time about L, T, F, DF, F and other single action in the process completed, and establishes the function between windward area and time in specific action. It studies and analyses the influence of air resistance on athlete’s taking-off speed, combining with the results of the taking-off speed calculation software. The main findings are shown as follows: When the wind speed each increases 0.8 m/s in the leaving platform phase, athlete's taking-off speed will decrease 0.4m/s. When the wind speed is low, the change of wind direction exerts little impact on athletes’ taking-off speed

Modified Glucose-Insulin-Potassium Regimen Provides Cardioprotection With Improved Tissue Perfusion in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery

Background Laboratory studies demonstrate glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) as a potent cardioprotective intervention, but clinical trials have yielded mixed results, likely because of varying formulas and timing of GIK treatment and different clinical settings. This study sought to evaluate the effects of modified GIK regimen given perioperatively with an insulin-glucose ratio of 1:3 in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Methods and Results In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial with 930 patients referred for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, GIK (200 g/L glucose, 66.7 U/L insulin, and 80 mmol/L KCl) or placebo treatment was administered intravenously at 1 mL/kg per hour 10 minutes before anesthesia and continuously for 12.5 hours. The primary outcome was the incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events including all-cause death, low cardiac output syndrome, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest with successful resuscitation, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia. GIK therapy reduced the incidence of major adverse cardiac events and enhanced cardiac function recovery without increasing perioperative blood glucose compared with the control group. Mechanistically, this treatment resulted in increased glucose uptake and less lactate excretion calculated by the differences between arterial and coronary sinus, and increased phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 and protein kinase B in the hearts of GIK-treated patients. Systemic blood lactate was also reduced in GIK-treated patients during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Conclusions A modified GIK regimen administered perioperatively reduces the incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. These benefits are likely a result of enhanced systemic tissue perfusion and improved myocardial metabolism via activation of insulin signaling by GIK.

Effects of Phosphorus Accumulation in Soil with the Utilization Ages of the Vegetable Greenhouses in the Suburb of Shenyang

AbstractThe accumulation of phosphorus in different utilization age (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 13-year) vegetable greenhouses soil with multi-point mixed samples was examined in Damintun Town of Shenyang. The results showed that the content of P of all samples was increased with the utilization ages of the vegetable greenhouses. For all the samples, the concentration of TP and Olsen-P in the 0-40cm layer was higher than that in the 40-120cm. Compared with other samples, the content of TP and Olsen-P of 13 years of vegetable greenhouse soil is the highest throughout the 0-120cm. In the 0-20cm layer, the TP concentrations in 13-year vegetable greenhouse soil is 4 times higher than that in the open vegetable land, and the concentration of Olsen-P range from 23.87mg kg-1 in bare land soil to 102.13mg kg-1 in 13-year vegetable greenhouse soil. These results demonstrated that long-term continuous P input from chemical fertilizers and manure can cause P accumulation in soils and enrich in topsoil
