The Spatial Constraint Requiring Organogenetic Termination: Supplemental to Haeckel and von Baer for Development and Evolution
In this article, it is pointed out that the requirement for organogenetic termination is the new spatial constraint for animal development and heredity, based on that: (a) organogenesis manifests limitation in time and possession of termination, while infinite cell proliferation known as cancer is lethal; (b) the notable indeterminate growth in some fishes and a few outgrowing skin derivatives reversely demonstrates that termination is required for organogenesis inside the animal. In further, it is supplemented this new spatial constraint to Haeckel and von Baer for development and evolution. While not influencing the temporal and spatial reorganization of morphogenesis during evolution, it places restrictions on alteration of organogenetic mechanisms themselves, as that: (a) addition of new induction mechanism or elimination of termination mechanism would usually cause endless organogenesis, liable to become lethal; (b) addition of new termination mechanism or elimination of induction mechanism in evolution not be affected by this spatial constraint. Finally, it is identified this spatial constraint as partial convergence and partial difference with Haeckel’s recapitulation, and as restriction onto Baer’s tree. It is perspectives to use the method of mathematical probability and statistics to study the spatial constraint of development onto evolution in future. 
Interaction-induced anomalous transport behavior in one dimensional optical lattice
The non-equilibrium dynamics of spin impurity atoms in a strongly interacting
one-dimensional (1D) Bose gas under the gravity field is studied. We show that
due to the non-equilibrium preparation of the initial state as well as the
interaction between the impurity atoms and other bosons, a counterintuitive
phenomenon may emerge: the impurity atoms could propagate upwards automatically
in the gravity field . The effects of the strength of interaction, the gradient
of the gravity field, as well as the different configurations of the initial
state are investigated by studying the time-dependent evolution of the 1D
strongly interacting bosonic system using time-evolving block decimation (TEBD)
method. A profound connection between this counterintuitive phenomenon and the
repulsive bound pair is also revealed.Comment: 4.1 page
Dissipative Effects on the Superfluid to Insulator Transition in Mixed-dimensional Optical Lattices
We study the superfluid to Mott insulator transition of a mixture of heavy
bosons and light fermions loaded in an optical lattice. We focus on the effect
of the light fermions on the dynamics of the heavy bosons. It is shown that,
when the lattice potential is sufficiently deep to confine the bosons to one
dimension but allowing the fermions to freely move in three dimensions (i.e. a
mixed-dimensionality lattice), the fermions act as an ohmic bath for bosons
leading to screening and dissipation effects on the bosons. Using a
perturbative renormalization-group analysis, it is shown that the
fermion-induced dissipative effects have no appreciable impact on the
transition from the superfluid to the Mott-insulator state at integer filling.
On the other hand, dissipative effects are found to be very important in the
half-filled case near the critical point. In this case, in the presence of a
finite incommensurability that destabilizes the Mott phase, the bosons can
still be localized by virtue of dissipative effects.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
Stable Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov pairing states in 2D and 3D optical lattices
We present the study of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) pairing
states in the -orbital bands in both two and three-dimensional optical
lattices. Due to the quasi one-dimensional band structure which arises from the
unidirectional hopping of the orthogonal -orbitals, the pairing phase space
is not affected by spin imbalance. Furthermore, interactions build up high
dimensional phase coherence which stabilizes the FFLO states in 2D and 3D
optical lattices in a large parameter regime in phase diagram. These FFLO
phases are stable with imposing the inhomogeneous trapping potential. Their
entropies are comparable to those of the normal states at finite temperatures.Comment: 5 page
