The Dichotomy between Nodal and Antinodal Quasiparticles in Underdoped (LaSr)CuO Superconductors
High resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on underdoped
(LaSr)CuO system show that, at energies below 70 meV, the
quasiparticle peak is well defined around the (/2,/2) nodal region
and disappears rather abruptly when the momentum is changed from the nodal
point to the (,0) antinodal point along the underlying ``Fermi surface''.
It indicates that there is an extra low energy scattering mechanism acting upon
the antinodal quasiparticles. We propose that this mechanism is the scattering
of quasiparticles across the nearly parallel segments of the Fermi surface near
the antinodes.Comment: to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Research on trust model in container-based cloud service
Container virtual technology aims to provide program independence and resource sharing. The container enables flexible cloud service. Compared with traditional virtualization, traditional virtual machines have difficulty in resource and expense requirements. The container technology has the advantages of smaller size, faster migration, lower resource overhead, and higher utilization. Within container-based cloud environment, services can adopt multi-target nodes. This paper reports research results to improve the traditional trust model with consideration of cooperation effects. Cooperation trust means that in a container-based cloud environment, services can be divided into multiple containers for different container nodes. When multiple target nodes work for one service at the same time, these nodes are in a cooperation state. When multi-target nodes cooperate to complete the service, the target nodes evaluate each other. The calculation of cooperation trust evaluation is used to update the degree of comprehensive trust. Experimental simulation results show that the cooperation trust evaluation can help solving the trust problem in the container-based cloud environment and can improve the success rate of following cooperation
Suppressing longitudinal double-layer oscillations by using elliptically polarized laser pulses in the hole-boring radiation pressure acceleration regime
It is shown that well collimated mono-energetic ion beams with a large
particle number can be generated in the hole-boring radiation pressure
acceleration regime by using an elliptically polarized laser pulse with
appropriate theoretically determined laser polarization ratio. Due to the
effect, the double-layer charge separation region is
imbued with hot electrons that prevent ion pileup, thus suppressing the
double-layer oscillations. The proposed mechanism is well confirmed by
Particle-in-Cell simulations, and after suppressing the longitudinal
double-layer oscillations, the ion beams driven by the elliptically polarized
lasers own much better energy spectrum than those by circularly polarized
lasers.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, Phys. Plasmas (2013) accepte
Heavy-tailed statistics in short-message communication
Short-message (SM) is one of the most frequently used communication channels
in the modern society. In this Brief Report, based on the SM communication
records provided by some volunteers, we investigate the statistics of SM
communication pattern, including the interevent time distributions between two
consecutive short messages and two conversations, and the distribution of
message number contained by a complete conversation. In the individual level,
the current empirical data raises a strong evidence that the human activity
pattern, exhibiting a heavy-tailed interevent time distribution, is driven by a
non-Poisson nature.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures and 1 tabl

China's energy consumption in the building sector: A Statistical Yearbook-Energy Balance Sheet based splitting method
China's energy consumption in the building sector (BEC) is not counted as a separate type of energy consumption, but divided and mixed in other sectors in China's statistical system. This led to the lack of historical data on China's BEC. Moreover, previous researches' shortages such as unsystematic research on BEC, various estimation methods with complex calculation process, and difficulties in data acquisition resulted in “heterogeneous” of current BEC in China. Aiming to these deficiencies, this study proposes a set of China building energy consumption calculation method (CBECM) by splitting out the building related energy consumption mixed in other sectors in the composition of China Statistical Yearbook-Energy Balance Sheet. Then, China's BEC from 2000 to 2014 are estimated using CBECM and compared with other studies. Results show that, from 2000 to 2014, China's BEC increased 1.7 times, rising from 301 to 814 million tons of standard coal consumed, with the BEC percentage of total energy consumption stayed relatively stable between 17.7% and 20.3%. By comparison, we find that our results are reliable and the CBECM has the following advantages over other methods: data source is authoritative, calculation process is concise, and it is easy to obtain time series data on BEC etc. The CBECM is particularly suitable for the provincial government to calculate the local BEC, even in the circumstance with statistical yearbook available only
