LHC searches for heavy neutral Higgs bosons with a top jet substructure analysis
We study the LHC searches for the heavy -odd Higgs boson and
-even Higgs boson in the context of general two-Higgs-doublet model.
Specifically, we consider the decay mode of through the or associated production channels. In the so-called
"alignment limit" of the two-Higgs-doublet model, this decay mode can be the
most dominant one. By employing the HEPTopTagger and the
multi-variable-analysis method, we present the search sensitivities for both
-odd Higgs boson and -even Higgs boson via these channels at
the high-luminosity LHC runs.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures; v2: matches the published versio
LHC searches for the CP-odd Higgs by the jet substructure analysis
The LHC searches for the CP-odd Higgs boson is studied (with masses from 300
GeV to 1 TeV) in the context of the general two-Higgs-doublet model. With the
discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs boson at the LHC, we highlight one promising
discovery channel of the hZ. This channel can become significant after the
global signal fitting to the 125 GeV Higgs boson in the general
two-Higgs-doublet model. It is particularly important in the scenario where two
CP-even Higgs bosons in the two-Higgs-doublet model have the common mass of 125
GeV. Since the final states involve a Standard-Model-like Higgs boson, we apply
the jet substructure analysis of the fat Higgs jet in order to eliminate the
Standard Model background sufficiently. After performing the kinematic cuts, we
present the LHC search sensitivities for the CP-odd Higgs boson with mass up to
1 TeV via this channel.Comment: 26 pages, 12 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Multiferroic and Ferroic Topological Order in Ligand-Functionalized Germanene and Arsenene
Two-dimensional (2D) materials that exhibit ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, or topological order have been a major focal topic of nanomaterials research in recent years. The latest efforts in this field explore 2D quantum materials that host multiferroic or concurrent ferroic and topological order. We present a computational discovery of multiferroic state with coexisting ferroelectric and ferromagnetic order in recently synthesized CH2OCH3-functionalized germanene. We show that an electric-field-induced rotation of the ligand CH2OCH3 molecule can serve as the driving mechanism to switch the electric polarization of the ligand molecule, while unpassivated Ge p(z) orbits generate ferromagnetism. Our study also reveals coexisting ferroelectric and topological order in ligand-functionalized arsenene, which possesses a switchable electric polarization and a Dirac transport channel. These findings offer insights into the fundamental physics underlying these coexisting quantum orders and open avenues for achieving states of matter with multiferroic or ferroic-topological order in 2D-layered materials for innovative memory or logic device implementations
End-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling management: improving performance using an ISM approach
With booming of the automobile industry, China has become the country with increasing car ownership all over the world. However, the end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling industry is at infancy, and there is little systematic review on ELV recycling management, as well as low adoption amongst domestic automobile industry. This study presents a literature review and an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) approach is employed to identify the drivers towards Chinese ELV recycling business from government, recycling organizations and consumer’s perspectives, so as to improve the sustainability of automobile supply chain by providing some strategic insights. The results derived from the ISM analysis manifest that regulations on auto-factory, disassembly technique, and value mining of recycling business are the essential ingredients. It is most effective and efficient to promote ELV recycling business by improving these attributes, also the driving and dependence power analysis are deemed to provide guidance on performance improvement of ELV recycling in the Chinese market
VQS: Linking Segmentations to Questions and Answers for Supervised Attention in VQA and Question-Focused Semantic Segmentation
Rich and dense human labeled datasets are among the main enabling factors for
the recent advance on vision-language understanding. Many seemingly distant
annotations (e.g., semantic segmentation and visual question answering (VQA))
are inherently connected in that they reveal different levels and perspectives
of human understandings about the same visual scenes --- and even the same set
of images (e.g., of COCO). The popularity of COCO correlates those annotations
and tasks. Explicitly linking them up may significantly benefit both individual
tasks and the unified vision and language modeling. We present the preliminary
work of linking the instance segmentations provided by COCO to the questions
and answers (QAs) in the VQA dataset, and name the collected links visual
questions and segmentation answers (VQS). They transfer human supervision
between the previously separate tasks, offer more effective leverage to
existing problems, and also open the door for new research problems and models.
We study two applications of the VQS data in this paper: supervised attention
for VQA and a novel question-focused semantic segmentation task. For the
former, we obtain state-of-the-art results on the VQA real multiple-choice task
by simply augmenting the multilayer perceptrons with some attention features
that are learned using the segmentation-QA links as explicit supervision. To
put the latter in perspective, we study two plausible methods and compare them
to an oracle method assuming that the instance segmentations are given at the
test stage.Comment: To appear on ICCV 201
WSN Routing Algorithm Based on Routing Strategy with Ant Colony Optimization
To reduce the energy consumptions of wireless sensor network nodes (WSN), avoiding communication conflicts caused by different nodes simultaneously using shared channel, this paper proposes a dual-channel routing algorithm for sensor networks (CORA) based on Ant Colony optimization strategy. The algorithm can reduce the nodes mutual inhibition competition in channel contention by using dual channel communication model; compress the path finding ranger for ant colony through the maximum infection ball to reduce the energy consumption for network; propose a two-tier network with combined dispatching to effectively abate network congestion by means of layered graph. The simulation results show that compared with an energy-efficient routing algorithm based on Ant strategy and an energy-efficient routing algorithm based on Ant Colony optimization strategy, the CORA algorithm can lower down the network congestion to 17 % and reduce message conflicts between data packets and control packets, effectively reducing the energy consumption for average communicating time of packets and network
