N-Benzyl-2-hydroxy­benzamide

In the title compound, C14H13NO2, the mean planes through the benzyl and 2-hydoxybenzamide units make a dihedral angle of 68.81 (7)°. There is an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the carbonyl O atom and the 2-hydr­oxy substituent. In the crystal structure, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link symmetry-related mol­ecules into one-dimensional chains extending along the a-axis direction. These chains are further connected via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a sheet-like structur

Secure Direct Communication Based on Secret Transmitting Order of Particles

We propose the schemes of quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) based on secret transmitting order of particles. In these protocols, the secret transmitting order of particles ensures the security of communication, and no secret messages are leaked even if the communication is interrupted for security. This strategy of security for communication is also generalized to quantum dialogue. It not only ensures the unconditional security but also improves the efficiency of communication.Comment: To appear in Phys. Rev.

Dynamics of ferromagnetic bimerons driven by spin currents and magnetic fields

Magnetic bimeron composed of two merons is a topological counterpart of magnetic skyrmion in in-plane magnets, which can be used as the nonvolatile information carrier in spintronic devices. Here we analytically and numerically study the dynamics of ferromagnetic bimerons driven by spin currents and magnetic fields. Numerical simulations demonstrate that two bimerons with opposite signs of topological numbers can be created simultaneously in a ferromagnetic thin film via current-induced spin torques. The current-induced spin torques can also drive the bimeron and its speed is analytically derived, which agrees with the numerical results. Since the bimerons with opposite topological numbers can coexist and have opposite drift directions, two-lane racetracks can be built in order to accurately encode the data bits. In addition, the dynamics of bimerons induced by magnetic field gradients and alternating magnetic fields are investigated. It is found that the bimeron driven by alternating magnetic fields can propagate along a certain direction. Moreover, combining a suitable magnetic field gradient, the Magnus-force-induced transverse motion can be completely suppressed, which implies that there is no skyrmion Hall effect. Our results are useful for understanding of the bimeron dynamics and may provide guidelines for building future bimeron-based spintronic devices.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure

Melodic Phrase Segmentation By Deep Neural Networks

Automated melodic phrase detection and segmentation is a classical task in content-based music information retrieval and also the key towards automated music structure analysis. However, traditional methods still cannot satisfy practical requirements. In this paper, we explore and adapt various neural network architectures to see if they can be generalized to work with the symbolic representation of music and produce satisfactory melodic phrase segmentation. The main issue of applying deep-learning methods to phrase detection is the sparse labeling problem of training sets. We proposed two tailored label engineering with corresponding training techniques for different neural networks in order to make decisions at a sequential level. Experiment results show that the CNN-CRF architecture performs the best, being able to offer finer segmentation and faster to train, while CNN, Bi-LSTM-CNN and Bi-LSTM-CRF are acceptable alternatives
