Parametric cooling of a degenerate Fermi gas in an optical trap

We demonstrate a novel technique for cooling a degenerate Fermi gas in a crossed-beam optical dipole trap, where high-energy atoms can be selectively removed from the trap by modulating the stiffness of the trapping potential with anharmonic trapping frequencies. We measure the dependence of the cooling effect on the frequency and amplitude of the parametric modulations. It is found that the large anharmonicity along the axial trapping potential allows to generate a degenerate Fermi gas with anisotropic energy distribution, in which the cloud energy in the axial direction can be reduced to the ground state value

Noise in Genotype Selection Model

We study the steady state properties of a genotype selection model in presence of correlated Gaussian white noise. The effect of the noise on the genotype selection model is discussed. It is found that correlated noise can break the balance of gene selection and induce the phase transition which can makes us select one type gene haploid from a gene group.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

Attention Clusters: Purely Attention Based Local Feature Integration for Video Classification

Recently, substantial research effort has focused on how to apply CNNs or RNNs to better extract temporal patterns from videos, so as to improve the accuracy of video classification. In this paper, however, we show that temporal information, especially longer-term patterns, may not be necessary to achieve competitive results on common video classification datasets. We investigate the potential of a purely attention based local feature integration. Accounting for the characteristics of such features in video classification, we propose a local feature integration framework based on attention clusters, and introduce a shifting operation to capture more diverse signals. We carefully analyze and compare the effect of different attention mechanisms, cluster sizes, and the use of the shifting operation, and also investigate the combination of attention clusters for multimodal integration. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework on three real-world video classification datasets. Our model achieves competitive results across all of these. In particular, on the large-scale Kinetics dataset, our framework obtains an excellent single model accuracy of 79.4% in terms of the top-1 and 94.0% in terms of the top-5 accuracy on the validation set. The attention clusters are the backbone of our winner solution at ActivityNet Kinetics Challenge 2017. Code and models will be released soon.Comment: The backbone of the winner solution at ActivityNet Kinetics Challenge 201

Current Reversals in a inhomogeneous system with asymmetric unbiased fluctuations

We present a study of transport of a Brownian particle moving in periodic symmetric potential in the presence of asymmetric unbiased fluctuations. The particle is considered to move in a medium with periodic space dependent friction. By tuning the parameters of the system, the direction of current exhibit reversals, both as a function of temperature as well as the amplitude of rocking force. We found that the mutual interplay between the opposite driving factors is the necessary term for current reversals.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure

Minimum average-case queries of q + 1 -ary search game with small sets

Given a search space S={1,2,...,n}, an unknown element x*∈S and fixed integers ℓ≥1 and q≥1, a q+1-ary ℓ-restricted query is of the following form: which one of the set {A 0,A 1,...,A q} is the x* in?, where (A 0,A 1,...,A q) is a partition of S and | Ai|≤ℓ for i=1,2,...,q. The problem of finding x* from S with q+1-ary size-restricted queries is called as a q+1-ary search game with small sets. In this paper, we consider sequential algorithms for the above problem, and establish the minimum number of average-case sequential queries when x* satisfies the uniform distribution on S. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

High Temperature Corrosion Behaviors of the Superheater Materials

AbstractThe high temperature corrosion tests are performed on 20#steel, TP347H and superalloy C22. The high temperature corrosion behaviors of these superheater materials in the synthetic salt containing 80wt-%KCl+20wt-%K2SO4 have been investigated under the oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature of 650°C for 218hours. For comparison, the column diagram has been obtained by mass loss. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) is used to characterize the surface morphology and compositions of the corrosion products. The results have shown that the superalloy C22 exhibits the high corrosion resistance
