Proton Sea Quark Flavour Asymmetry and Roper Resonance
We study the proton and the Roper resonance together with the meson cloud
model, by constructing a Hamiltonian matrix and solving the eigenvalue
equation. The proton sea quark flavour asymmetry and some properties of the
Roper resonance are thus reproduced in one scheme
Grand Unified Yukawa Matrix Ansatz: The Standard Model Fermion Mass, Quark Mixing and CP Violation Parameters
We propose a new mass matrix ansatz: At the grand unified (GU) scale, the
standard model (SM) Yukawa coupling matrix elements are integer powers of the
square root of the GU gauge coupling constant \varepsilon \equiv
\sqrt{\alpha_{\text{GU}}}, multiplied by order unity random complex numbers. It
relates the hierarchy of the SM ermion masses and quark mixings to the gauge
coupling constants, greatly reducing the SM parameters, and can give good
fitting results of the SM fermion mass, quark mixing and CP violation
parameters. This is a neat but very effective ansatz.Comment: 4 pages (two columns), by REVTeX 4, 2 tables, no figures, version for

Calculating the relative entropy of entanglement
We extend Vedral and Plenio's theorem (theorem 3 in Phys. Rev. A 57, 1619) to
a more general case, and obtain the relative entropy of entanglement for a
class of mixed states, this result can also follow from Rains' theorem 9 in
Phys. Rev. A 60, 179.Comment: 2 pages, RevTex, an important reference adde
Experimental investigation of the non-Markovian dynamics of classical and quantum correlations
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of classical and quantum
correlations of a Bell diagonal state in a non-Markovian dephasing environment.
The sudden transition from classical to quantum decoherence regime is observed
during the dynamics of such kind of Bell diagonal state. Due to the refocusing
effect of the overall relative phase, the quantum correlation revives from near
zero and then decays again in the subsequent evolution. However, the
non-Markovian effect is too weak to revive the classical correlation, which
remains constant in the same evolution range. With the implementation of an
optical operation, the sudden transition from quantum to classical
revival regime is obtained and correlation echoes are formed. Our method can be
used to control the revival time of correlations, which would be important in
quantum memory.Comment: extended revision, accepted for publication in Physical Review
Prokineticin 2 Is a Target Gene of Proneural Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Factors for Olfactory Bulb Neurogenesis
Prokineticin 2, a cysteine-rich secreted protein, regulates diverse biological functions including the neurogenesis of olfactory bulb. Here we show that the PK2 gene is a functional target gene of proneural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) factors. Neurogenin 1 and MASH1 activate PK2 transcription by binding to E-box motifs on the PK2 promoter with the same set of E-boxes critical for another pair of bHLH factors, CLOCK and BMAL1, in the regulation of circadian clock. Our results establish PK2 as a common functional target gene for different bHLH transcriptional factors in mediating their respective functions
Quantum network teleportation for quantum information distribution and concentration
We investigate the schemes of quantum network teleportation for quantum
information distribution and concentration which are essential in quantum cloud
computation and quantum internet. In those schemes, the cloud can send
simultaneously identical unknown quantum states to clients located in different
places by a network like teleportation with a prior shared multipartite
entangled state resource. The cloud first perform the quantum operation, each
client can recover their quantum state locally by using the classical
information announced by the cloud about the measurement result. The number of
clients can be beyond the number of identical quantum states intentionally
being sent, this quantum network teleportation can make sure that the retrieved
quantum state is optimal. Furthermore, we present a scheme to realize its
reverse process, which concentrates the states from the clients to reconstruct
the original state of the cloud. These schemes facilitate the quantum
information distribution and concentration in quantum networks in the framework
of quantum cloud computation. Potential applications in time synchronization
are discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
Quantitative Analysis of the Interaction between Wind Turbines and Topography Change in Intertidal Wind Farms by Remote Sensing
Offshore wind farms have developed rapidly in Jiangsu Province, China, over the last decade. The existence of offshore wind turbines will inevitably impact hydrological and sedimentary environments. In this paper, a digital elevation model (DEM) of the intertidal sandbank in southern Jiangsu Province from 2018 to 2020 was constructed based on the improved remote sensing waterline method. On this basis, the stability of the sandbank was analysed, and combined with the hypothetical sandbank surface discrimination method (HSSDM), the erosional/depositional influences of wind turbine construction on topography were quantitatively analysed. The results show that due to the frequent oscillations of the tidal channels, only 35.03% of the study area has a stable topography, and more than 90% of the wind turbines in all years have a balanced impact on the intensity of topographic change, and all see a small reduction in their impact in the following year. The remaining wind turbines with erosional/depositional impacts are mainly located in areas with unstable topography, but the overall impact of all wind turbines is balanced in 2018–2020. The impact of wind turbines on topography is both erosional and depositional, but the overall intensity of the impact is not significant. This study demonstrates the quantitative effects of wind turbine construction on topography and provides some help for wind turbine construction site selection and monitoring after turbine completion
