Basic Properties of the (t, n)-Threshold Visual Secret Sharing Scheme with Perfect Reconstruction of Black Pixels

In this paper we consider the (t, n)-threshold visual secret sharing scheme (VSSS) in which black pixels in a secret black-white images is reproduced perfectly as black pixels when we stack arbitrary t shares. This paper provides a new characterization of the (t, n)-threshold visual secret sharing scheme with such a property (hereafter, we call such a VSSS the (t, n)-PBVSSS for short). We use an algebraic method to characterize basis matrices of the (t, n)-PBVSSS in a certain class of matrices. We show that the set of all homogeneous polynomials each element of which yields basis matrices of the (t, n)-PBVSSS becomes a set of lattice points in an (n−t+1)-dimensional linear space. In addition, we prove that the optimal basis matrices in the sense of maximizing the relative difference among all the basis matrices in the class coincides with the basis matrices given by Blundo, Bonis and De Santis [3] for all n≥ t ≥ 2.     

What is novel in quantum transport for mesoscopics?

The understanding of mesoscopic transport has now attained an ultimate simplicity. Indeed, orthodox quantum kinetics would seem to say little about mesoscopics that has not been revealed — nearly effortlessly — by more popular means. Such is far from the case, however. The fact that kinetic theory remains very much in charge is best appreciated through the physics of a quantum point contact. While discretization of its conductance is viewed as the exclusive result of coherent, single-electron-wave transmission, this does not begin to address the paramount feature of all metallic conduction: dissipation. A perfect quantum point contact still has finite resistance, so its ballistic carriers must dissipate the energy gained from the applied field. How do they manage that? The key is in standard many-body quantum theory, and its conservation principles.     

氮化铝薄膜的光学性能

分别使用X衍射仪和紫外（190 nm～800 nm）分光光度仪,测量了用分子束外延法生长在SiC（001）基底面上的AIN薄膜的X衍射、透射谱和不同温度下的吸收谱.X衍射表明:实验所用的AIN薄膜在c-轴存在应变和应力，该应变和应力主要是由于AIN的晶格常量与基底SiC的晶格常量不匹配所致.透射谱表明:AIN薄膜的禁带宽度大约为6.2eV；而其对应的吸收谱在6.2eV处存在一个明显的台阶,此台阶被认为是AIN薄膜中的带边自由激子吸收所产生,忽略激子的结合能(与禁带宽度相比),则该值就对应为AIN的禁带宽度.而其对应的不同温度下（10 k～293 k）的吸收谱的谱线的形状和位置无明显的变化表明:温度对AIN薄膜的禁带宽度亦无明显的影响，这主要是由于在AIN薄膜中存在着应力所致.     

Review and complements on mixed-hybrid finite element methods for fluid flows

Mixed and hybrid finite element methods for the resolution of a wide range of linear and nonlinear boundary value problems (linear elasticity, Stokes problem, Navier–Stokes equations, Boussinesq equations, etc.) have known a great development in the last few years. These methods allow simultaneous computation of the original variable and its gradient, both of them being equally accurate. Moreover, they have local conservation properties (conservation of the mass and the momentum) as in the finite volume methods.The purpose of this paper is to give a review on some mixed finite elements developed recently for the resolution of Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations, and the linear elasticity problem. Further developments for a quasi-Newtonian flow obeying the power law are presented.

Nonlinear Energy Transfer over the Wave Spectrum in Water Covered by Solid Ice

On the basis of the hydrodynamic equations for nonlinear elastic-gravity waves beneath a solid ice cover and their Hamiltonian representation, a three-wave kinetic equation for the time evolution of the wave spectrum is formulated. The properties of the kernel of the kinetic integral describing the nonlinear interactions between wave triplets are investigated. An algorithm for numerically calculating the kinetic integral is developed. The rate of nonlinear energy transfer over the wave spectrum is estimated quantitatively and its most important characteristics are found.     

On polynomial symbols for subdivision schemes

Given a dilation matrix A :ℤ^d→ℤ^d, and G a complete set of coset representatives of 2π(A ^−Tℤ^d/ℤ^d), we consider polynomial solutions M to the equation ∑ _g∈G M(ξ+g)=1 with the constraints that M≥0 and M(0)=1. We prove that the full class of such functions can be generated using polynomial convolution kernels. Trigonometric polynomials of this type play an important role as symbols for interpolatory subdivision schemes. For isotropic dilation matrices, we use the method introduced to construct symbols for interpolatory subdivision schemes satisfying Strang–Fix conditions of arbitrary order.

The influence of temperature gradients on the kinetic boundary layer problem for a condensing droplet

We extend an earlier method for solving kinetic boundary layer problems to the case of particles moving in aspatially inhomogeneous background. The method is developed for a gas mixture containing a supersaturated vapor and a light carrier gas from which a small droplet condenses. The release of heat of condensation causes a temperature difference between droplet and gas in the quasistationary state; the kinetic equation describing the vapor is the stationary Klein-Kramers equation for Brownian particles diffusing in a temperature gradient. By means of an expansion in Burnett functions, this equation is transformed into a set of coupled algebrodifferential equations. By numerical integration we construct fundamental solutions of this equation that are subsequently combined linearly to fulfill appropriate mesoscopic boundary conditions for particles leaving the droplet surface. In view of the intrinsic numerical instability of the system of equations, a novel procedure is developed to remove the admixture of fast growing solutions to the solutions of interest. The procedure is tested for a few model problems and then applied to a slightly simplified condensation problem with parameters corresponding to the condensation of mercury in a background of neon. The effects of thermal gradients and thermodiffusion on the growth rate of the droplet are small (of the order of 1%), but well outside of the margin of error of the method.
