Nucleon effective mass splitting and density-dependent symmetry energy effects on elliptic flow in heavy ion collisions at E_(lab)= 0.09 ～ 1.5 GeV/nucleon

By incorporating an iso spin-dependent form of the momentum-dependent potential in the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics(UrQMD) model,we systematically investigate effects of the neutron-proton effective mass splitting m*_(n-p)=m*_n-m*_p/m and the density-dependent nuclear symmetry energy E_(sym)(ρ) on the elliptic flow v_2 in~(197)Au+~(197) Au collisions at beam energies from 0.09 to 1.5 GeV/nucleon.It is found that at higher beam energies(≥0.25 GeV/nucleon) with the approximately 75 MeV difference in slopes of the two different E_(sym)(ρ),and the variation of m*_(n-p) ranging from-0.03 to 0.03 at saturation density with isospin asymmetry δ=(ρ_n-ρ_p)/ρ-0.2,the E_(sym)(ρ) has a stronger influence on the difference in v_2 between neutrons and protons,i.e.,v_2~n-v_2~p,than m*_(n-p) has.Meanwhile,at lower beam energies(≤0.25 GeV/nucleon),v_2~n-v_2~p is sensitive to both the E_(sym)(ρ) and the m*_(n-p).Moreover,the influence of m*_(n-p) on v_2~n-v_2~p is more evident with the parameters of this study when using the soft,rather than stiff,symmetry energy.

Diffusion Limitations and Translocation Barriers in Atomically Thin Biomimetic Pores

Ionic transport in nano- to sub-nano-scale pores is highly dependent on translocation barriers and potential wells. These features in the free-energy landscape are primarily the result of ion dehydration and electrostatic interactions. For pores in atomically thin membranes, such as graphene, other factors come into play. Ion dynamics both inside and outside the geometric volume of the pore can be critical in determining the transport properties of the channel due to several commensurate length scales, such as the effective membrane thickness, radii of the first and the second hydration layers, pore radius, and Debye length. In particular, for biomimetic pores, such as the graphene crown ether we examine here, there are regimes where transport is highly sensitive to the pore size due to the interplay of dehydration and interaction with pore charge. Picometer changes in the size, e.g., due to a minute strain, can lead to a large change in conductance. Outside of these regimes, the small pore size itself gives a large resistance, even when electrostatic factors and dehydration compensate each other to give a relatively flat—e.g., near barrierless—free energy landscape. The permeability, though, can still be large and ions will translocate rapidly after they arrive within the capture radius of the pore. This, in turn, leads to diffusion and drift effects dominating the conductance. The current thus plateaus and becomes effectively independent of pore-free energy characteristics. Measurement of this effect will give an estimate of the magnitude of kinetically limiting features, and experimentally constrain the local electromechanical conditions.

Equivalences among Z2s-linear Hadamard codes

The ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-additive codes are subgroups of ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}^n$, and can be seen as a generalization of linear codes over ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ and ${\mathbb{Z}}_4$. A ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-linear Hadamard code is a binary Hadamard code which is the Gray map image of a ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-additive code. A partial classification of these codes by using the dimension of the kernel is known. In this paper, we establish that some ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-linear Hadamard codes of length $2^t$ are equivalent, once $t$ is fixed. This allows us to improve the known upper bounds for the number of such nonequivalent codes. Moreover, up to $t=11$, this new upper bound coincides with a known lower bound (based on the rank and dimension of the kernel). Finally, when we focus on $s\in \{2,3\}$, the full classification of the ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-linear Hadamard codes of length $2^t$ is established by giving the exact number of such codes.

Functional Nickel Oxide Nanostructures for Ethanol Oxidation in Alkaline Media

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanostructures are employed in the basic medium for the oxidation of ethanol. A variety of NiO nanostructures are synthesized by wet chemical growth method, using different hydroxide (OH^?) ion sources, particularly from ammonia, hexamethylenetetramine, urea and sodium hydroxide. The use of urea as (OH^?) ion source results in flower‐like NiO structures composed by extremely thin nanowalls (thickness lower than 10 nm,), which demonstrated to be the most active for ethanol oxidation. All the samples exhibit NiO cubic phase, and no other impurity was detected. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves of NiO nanostructures were found linear over the concentration range 0.1–3.5 mM (R²=0.99) of ethanol, with the limit of detection estimated to be 0.013 mM for ethanol. The NiO nanostructures exhibit a selective signal towards ethanol oxidation in the presence of different members of alcohol family. The proposed NiO nanostructures showed a significant practicality for the reproducible and sensitive determination of ethanol from brandy, whisky, mixture of brandy and rum, and vodka samples. The nanomaterial was used as a surface modifying agent for the glassy carbon electrode and it showed a stable electro‐oxidation activity for the ethanol for 16 days. These findings indicate that the presented NiO nanomaterial can be applied in place of noble metals for ethanol sensing and other environmental applications (like fuel cells).     

A novel chaotic image encryption scheme using DNA sequence operations

In this paper, we propose a novel image encryption scheme based on DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence operations and chaotic system. Firstly, we perform bitwise exclusive OR operation on the pixels of the plain image using the pseudorandom sequences produced by the spatiotemporal chaos system, i.e., CML (coupled map lattice). Secondly, a DNA matrix is obtained by encoding the confused image using a kind of DNA encoding rule. Then we generate the new initial conditions of the CML according to this DNA matrix and the previous initial conditions, which can make the encryption result closely depend on every pixel of the plain image. Thirdly, the rows and columns of the DNA matrix are permuted. Then, the permuted DNA matrix is confused once again. At last, after decoding the confused DNA matrix using a kind of DNA decoding rule, we obtain the ciphered image. Experimental results and theoretical analysis show that the scheme is able to resist various attacks, so it has extraordinarily high security.
