Conditions for Nondistortion Interrogation of Quantum System
Under some physical considerations, we present a universal formulation to
study the possibility of localizing a quantum object in a given region without
disturbing its unknown internal state. When the interaction between the object
and probe wave function takes place only once, we prove the necessary and
sufficient condition that the object's presence can be detected in an initial
state preserving way. Meanwhile, a conditioned optimal interrogation
probability is obtained.Comment: 5 pages, Revtex, 1 figures, Presentation improved, corollary 1 added.

Optimization of Dimples in Microchannel Heat Sink with Impinging Jets—Part B: the Influences of Dimple Height and Arrangement
The combination of a microchannel heat sink with impinging jets and dimples (MHSIJD) can effectively improve the flow and heat transfer performance on the cooling surface of electronic devices with very high heat fluxes. Based on the previous work by analysing the effect of dimple radius on the overall performance of MHSIJD, the effects of dimple height and arrangement were numerically analysed. The velocity distribution, pressure drop, and thermal performance of MHSIJD under various dimple heights and arrangements were presented. The results showed that: MHSIJD with higher dimples had better overall performance with dimple radius being fixed; creating a mismatch between the impinging hole and dimple can solve the issue caused by the drift phenomenon; the mismatch between the impinging hole and dimple did not exhibit better overall performance than a well-matched design
Cutout reinforcements for shear loaded laminate and sandwich composite panels
This paper presents the numerical and experimental studies of shear loaded
laminated and sandwich carbon/epoxy composite panels with cutouts and
reinforcements aiming at reducing the cutout stress concentration and increasing
the buckling stability of the panels. The effect of different cutout sizes and
the design and materials of cutout reinforcements on the stress and buckling
behaviour of the panels are evaluated. For the sandwich panels with a range of
cutout size and a constant weight, an optimal ratio of the core to the face
thickness has been studied for the maximum buckling stability. The finite
element method and an analytical method are employed to perform parametric
studies. In both constant stress and constant displacement shear loading
conditions, the results are in very good agreement with those obtained from
experiment for selected cutout reinforcement cases. Conclusions are drawn on the
cutout reinforcement design and improvement of stress concentration and buckling
behaviour of shear loaded laminated and sandwich composite panels with cutouts
Money, moral transgressions, and blame
Two experiments tested participants' attributions for others' immoral behaviors when conducted for more versus less money. We hypothesized and found that observers would blame wrongdoers more when seeing a transgression enacted for little rather than a lot of money, and that this would be evident in observers' hand-washing behavior. Experiment 1 used a cognitive dissonance paradigm. Participants (N = 160) observed a confederate lie in exchange for either a relatively large or a small monetary payment. Participants blamed the liar more in the small (versus large) money condition. Participants (N = 184) in Experiment 2 saw images of someone knocking over another to obtain a small, medium, or large monetary sum. In the small (versus large) money condition, participants blamed the perpetrator (money) more. Hence, participants assigned less blame to moral wrong-doers, if the latter enacted their deed to obtain relatively large sums of money. Small amounts of money accentuate the immorality of others' transgressions
Finite dimensional integrable Hamiltonian systems associated with DSI equation by Bargmann constraints
The Davey-Stewartson I equation is a typical integrable equation in 2+1
dimensions. Its Lax system being essentially in 1+1 dimensional form has been
found through nonlinearization from 2+1 dimensions to 1+1 dimensions. In the
present paper, this essentially 1+1 dimensional Lax system is further
nonlinearized into 1+0 dimensional Hamiltonian systems by taking the Bargmann
constraints. It is shown that the resulting 1+0 dimensional Hamiltonian systems
are completely integrable in Liouville sense by finding a full set of integrals
of motion and proving their functional independence.Comment: 10 pages, in LaTeX, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 70 (2001
