Applicability of the Friedberg-Lee-Zhao method
Friedberg, Lee and Zhao proposed a method for effectively evaluating the
eigenenergies and eigen wavefunctions of quantum systems. In this work, we
study several special cases to investigate applicability of the method.
Concretely, we calculate the ground-state eigenenergy of the Hellmann potential
as well as the Cornell potential, and also evaluate the energies of the systems
where linear term is added to the Coulomb and harmonic oscillator potentials as
a perturbation. The results obtained in this method have a surprising agreement
with the traditional method or the numerical results. Since the results in this
method have obvious analyticity compared to that in other methods, and because
of the simplicity for calculations this method can be applied to solving the
Schr\"{o}dinger equation and provides us better understanding of the physical
essence of the concerned systems. But meanwhile applications of the FLZ method
are restricted at present, especially for certain potential forms, but due to
its obvious advantages, it should be further developed.Comment: 14 pages,no figure
Addendum to "Maximal regularity and Hardy spaces"

Building galaxy models with Schwarzschild method and spectral dynamics
Tremendous progress has been made recently in modelling the morphology and
kinematics of centers of galaxies. Increasingly realistic models are built for
central bar, bulge, nucleus and black hole of galaxies, including our own. The
newly revived Schwarzschild method has played a central role in these
theoretical modellings. Here I will highlight some recent work at Leiden on
extending the Schwarzschild method in a few directions. After a brief
discussion of (i) an analytical approach to include stochastic orbits (Zhao
1996), and (ii) the ``pendulum effect'' of loop and boxlet orbits (Zhao,
Carollo, de Zeeuw 1999), I will concentrate on the very promising (iii)
spectral dynamics method, with which not only can one obtain semi-analytically
the actions of individual orbits as previously known, but also many other
physical quantities, such as the density in configuration space and the
line-of-sight velocity distribution of a superposition of orbits (Copin, Zhao &
de Zeeuw 1999). The latter method also represents a drastic reduction of
storage space for the orbit library and an increase in accuracy over the
grid-based Schwarzschild method.Comment: 11 pages including 3 ps figures, Contribution to IAU Colloquium 172

Soft Power to Whom? A Critical Analysis of the Publicity Film “CPC (Communist Party of China) is With You Along the Way” in Relation to China’s Soft Power Project
The existing literature on China’s soft power is mainly concerned with its success or failure, ignoring the ideological tensions between the Chinese state's international pursuit of soft power and its efforts at reviving the popularity of socialist ideology at home in a country profoundly transformed by modernisation and globalisation processes. This article argues that such ideological tensions should be contextualised and critically analysed by employing an approach informed by critical globalisation studies, particularly by the power-to-whom critique. It offers a critical analysis of the CPC is With You Along the Way film, a notable recent example of the CPC’s publicity videos in the context of its pursuit of soft power. Borrowing Reisigl and Wodak’s discourse-historical approach (DHA) in addition to the analytical devices for the study of ideology from Eagleton and van Dijk, the article argues that CPC is With You Along the Way illustrates a shift in the party’s ideological approach to the question ‘(soft) power to whom?’
Monotonicity and 1-dimensional symmetry for solutions of an elliptic system arising in Bose-Einstein condensation
We study monotonicity and 1-dimensional symmetry for positive solutions with
algebraic growth of the following elliptic system: for every dimension . In particular, we prove a Gibbons-type
conjecture proposed by H. Berestycki, T. C. Lin, J. Wei and C. Zhao
Oxygen-isotope effect on the in-plane penetration depth in underdoped Y_{1-x}Pr_xBa_2Cu_3O_{7-delta} as revealed by muon-spin rotation
The oxygen-isotope (^16O/^18O) effect (OIE) on the in-plane penetration depth
in underdoped Y_{1-x}Pr_xBa_2Cu_3O_{7-delta} was studied by
muon-spin rotation. A pronounced OIE on was observed
with a relative isotope shift of
=-5(2)% for x =0.3 and -9(2)% for
x=0.4. It arises mainly from the oxygen-mass dependence of the in-plane
effective mass . The OIE exponents of T_{c} and of
exhibit a relation that appears to be generic for
cuprate superconductors.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures, RevTex
