Rigorous Proof of Pseudospin Ferromagnetism in Two-Component Bosonic Systems with Component-Independent Interactions

For a two-component bosonic system, the components can be mapped onto a pseudo-spin degree of freedom with spin quantum number S=1/2. We provide a rigorous proof that for a wide-range of real Hamiltonians with component independent mass and interaction, the ground state is a ferromagnetic state with pseudospin fully polarized. The spin-wave excitations are studied and found to have quadratic dispersion relations at long wave length.Comment: 4 pages, no figur

Analysis of preparation and properties on shape memory hydrogenated epoxy resin used for asphalt mixtures

The objective of this investigation is to prepare the shape memory hydrogenated epoxy resin used for asphalt mixtures (SM-HEP-AM) and study its properties. The shape memory hydrogenated epoxy resin (SM-HEP) is prepared using hydrogenated bisphenol A epoxy resin (AL-3040), polypropylene glycol diglycidylether diacrylate (JH-230), and isophorone diamine (IPDA). The formulations of the SM-HEP-AM are obtained by the linearly fitted method. The thermo-mechanical property, molecular structure, and shape-memory performance of the SM-HEP-AM are studied. The glass-transition temperature (Tg) is determined using the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results proved that the Tg level increased when the JH-230 content decreased. The thermo-mechanical property of the SM-HEP-AM is measured by dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA). The storage modulus of the SM-HEP-AM decreased with the increase in the JH-230 content. The above phenomena are attributed to the change in the JH-230 content. The shape memory performance results of the SM-HEP-AM indicate that specimen deformation can completely recover after only several minutes at Tg + 10 °C and Tg + 20 °C. The shape recovery time of the SM-HEP-AM increases with increased JH-230 content, and the change between the shape recovery time and JH-230 content gradually decreased as the temperature increased. The deformation recovery performance of asphalt mixture with and without the SM-HEP-AM (Tg = 40 °C) was tested by the deformation recovery test. This was used to prove that the SM-HEP-AM helps to improve the deformation recovery performance of the asphalt mixture

The correlation between the expression of differentiated embryo-chondrocyte expressed gene l and oral squamous cell carcinoma

BACKGROUND: This study aims to explore the correlation between expression of differentiated embryo-chondrocyte expressed gene l (DEC1) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which could provide the reference for treatment and prognosis assessment of OSCC. METHODS: The expression of DEC1 in tissues from 56 primary OSCC patients and 20 normal oral mucosa samples were detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical methods, respectively. RESULTS: The results showed that the positive expression rate of DEC1 in the OSCC group was significantly higher than that in the normal group (P <0.05); further, the expression of DEC1 in different OSCC groups was statistically significant (P <0.05). The expression of DEC1 in the 1-year recurrence OSCC group was significantly higher than other groups. The expression of DEC1 in the 3-years no recurrence OSCC group was the lowest. CONCLUSIONS: The expression of DEC1 was associated with the incidence of OSCC and there was a negative correlation between the expression of DEC1 and the prognosis of OSCC

TRAINING-SPECIFIC ADAPTATION OF MULTI-FINGER COORDINATION

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of finger Strength Training (ST) on multi-finger coordination as well as individual finger control, independence, and strength. Thirty-three healthy, young subjects were randomly assigned into four groups. Group 1 (G1) trained all fingers together, Group 2 (G2) trained individual fingers without restricting movements of the non-training fingers, and Group 3 (G3) trained individual fingers while restricting the movement of the non-training fingers. The control group (G0) did not undergo any training. All subjects in G1, G2, and G3 performed six sets of ten repetitions at 70% of their one repetition maximum for each sesson for six weeks, and there were three sessions of training per week. Identical experimental tests were conducted four times, biweekly, across the six-week training. Moment stabilizing multi-finger coordination increased only in G1, while force stabilizing coordination increased only in G3. Finger strength increased significantly in all training groups. Finger force control errors decreased significantly with ST for all the training groups. Finger independence also decreased significantly for all the training groups. We conclude that the neuromuscular adaptations to finger ST are specific to the training protocol being employed, yielding improvements in different types of multi-finger coordination (i.e., ST specificity for coordination), finger force control, finger strength and a decrease in finger independence. We suggest that ST protocol should be carefully designed for the improvement of specific coordination of multi-effector motor systems
