Self Interference of Single Electrodynamic Particle in Double Slit

It is by the long established fact in experiment and theory that electromagnetic waves, here as one component of an IED particle, passing a double slit will undergo self inference each, producing at a detector plane fringed intensities. The wave generating point charge of a zero rest mass, as the other component of the particle, is maintained a constant energy and speed by a repeated radiation reabsorption/reemission scheme, and in turn steered in direction in its linear motion by the reflected radiation field, and will thereby travel to the detector along (one of) the optical path(s) of the waves leading to a bright interference fringe. We elucidate the process formally based on first principles solutions for the IED particle and known principles for wave-matter interaction.Comment: Presentation at The 6th Int. Symp.

On the Mass-to-Light Ratio of Large Scale Structure

We examine the dependence of the mass-to-light (M/L) ratio of large-scale structure on cosmological parameters, in models that are constrained to match observations of the projected galaxy correlation function w(rp). For a sequence of cosmological models with a fixed P(k) shape and increasing normalization \sig8, we find parameters of the galaxy halo occupation distribution (HOD) that reproduce SDSS measurements of w(rp) as a function of luminosity. Using these HOD models we calculate mean M/L ratios as a function of halo mass and populate halos of N-body simulations to compute M/L in larger scale environments, including cluster infall regions. For all cosmological models, the M/L ratio in high mass halos or high density regions is approximately independent of halo mass or smoothing scale. However, the "plateau" value of M/L depends on \sig8 as well as \Omega_m, and it represents the universal mass-to-light ratio only for models in which the galaxy correlation function is approximately unbiased, i.e., with \sig8 ~ \sig8_gal. Our results for cluster mass halos follow the trend M/L = 577(\Omega_m/0.3)(\sig8/0.9)^{1.7} h Msun/Lsun. Combined with Carlberg et al.'s (1996) mean M/L ratio of CNOC galaxy clusters, this relation implies (\sig8/0.9)(\Omega_m/0.3)^{0.6} = 0.75 +/- 0.06. M/L ratios of clusters from the SDSS and CAIRNS surveys yield similar results. This constraint is inconsistent with parameter values \Omega_m ~ 0.3, \sig8 ~ 0.9 favored by recent joint analyses of CMB measurements and other large-scale structure data. We discuss possible resolutions, none of which seems entirely satisfactory. Appendices present an improved formula for halo bias factors and an improved analytic technique for calculating the galaxy correlation function from a given cosmological model and HOD.

Viscous effects on a vortex wake in ground effect

Wake vortex trajectories and strengths are altered radically by interactions with the ground plane. Prediction of vortex strength and location is especially important in the vicinity of airports. Simple potential flow methods have been found to yield reasonable estimates of vortex descent rates in an otherwise quiescent ambient background, but those techniques cannot be adjusted for more realistic ambient conditions and they fail to provide satisfactory estimates of ground-coupled behavior. The authors have been involved in a systematic study concerned with including viscous effects in a wake-vortex system which is near the ground plane. The study has employed numerical solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, as well as perturbation techniques to study ground coupling with a descending vortex pair. Results of a two-dimensional, unsteady numerical-theoretical study are presented in this paper. A time-based perturbation procedure has been developed which permits the use of analytical solutions to an inner and outer flow domain for the initial flow field. Predictions have been compared with previously reported laminar experimental results. In addition, the influence of stratification and turbulence on vortex behavior near the ground plane has been studied

Unlabeled Samples Generated by GAN Improve the Person Re-identification Baseline in Vitro

© 2017 IEEE. The main contribution of this paper is a simple semisupervised pipeline that only uses the original training set without collecting extra data. It is challenging in 1) how to obtain more training data only from the training set and 2) how to use the newly generated data. In this work, the generative adversarial network (GAN) is used to generate unlabeled samples. We propose the label smoothing regularization for outliers (LSRO). This method assigns a uniform label distribution to the unlabeled images, which regularizes the supervised model and improves the baseline. We verify the proposed method on a practical problem: person re-identification (re-ID). This task aims to retrieve a query person from other cameras. We adopt the deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) for sample generation, and a baseline convolutional neural network (CNN) for representation learning. Experiments show that adding the GAN-generated data effectively improves the discriminative ability of learned CNN embeddings. On three large-scale datasets, Market- 1501, CUHK03 and DukeMTMC-reID, we obtain +4.37%, +1.6% and +2.46% improvement in rank-1 precision over the baseline CNN, respectively. We additionally apply the proposed method to fine-grained bird recognition and achieve a +0.6% improvement over a strong baseline. The code is available at https://github.com/layumi/ Person-reID-GAN

Vanishing Gamow-Teller Transition Rate for A=14 and the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction in the Medium

The problem of the near vanishing of the Gamow-Teller transition ($GT$) in the A=14 system between the lowest $J=0^+~ T=1$ and $J=1^+~ T=0$ states is revisited. The model space is extended from the valence space $(p^{-2})$ to the valence space plus all 2$\hbar \omega$ excitations. The question is addressed as to what features of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction in the medium are required to obtain the vanishing $GT$ strength in this extended space. It turns out that a combination of a realistic strength of the tensor force combined with a spin-orbit interaction which is enhanced as compared to the free interaction yields a vanishing $GT$ strength. Such an interaction can be derived from a microscopic meson exchange potential if the enhancement of the small component of the Dirac spinors for the nucleons is taken into account.Comment: RevTex file, 7 pages, four postscript figures. submitted to Phys.
