Development of a China test cryomodule for ILC

Research and development of a 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavity test cryomodule were carried out by a collaboration group between IHEP (Institute of High Energy Physics) and TIPC (Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry) in China. The cryomodule is a "test model" for the ILC cryomodule, and a key component of a superconducting accelerator test unit which will be built in the near future, also can be used as a horizontal test facility for 1.3~GHz 9-cell cavities. This paper presents the development status of the cryomodule, including structure design, cryogenic flow diagram, thermal and mechanical simulations, heat load estimation and etc.     

Magnetic permeability based diagnostic test for the determination of the canine C-reactive protein concentration in undiluted whole blood

We describe an one-step 11-min magnetic permeability based two-site immunoassay for C-reactive protein (CRP) utilizing polyclonal anti-canine CRP antibody conjugated dextran iron oxide nanoparticles (79 nm) as superparamagnetic labels and polyclonal anti-canine CRP conjugated silica microparticles (15 to 40 μm) as carriers. An inductance based magnetic permeability reader was used to detect the target analyte, CRP, in 10 μL whole blood samples, by measuring the magnetic permeability increase of the silica microparticle sediment due to immuno complex superparamagnetic nanoparticles. Measurements on standards showed a linear response between 0 and 17.5 mg/L CRP. Measurements performed on 16 whole blood samples from mixed breeds showed good correlation with a commercially available ELISA assay.

密度矩阵重正化群的异构并行优化

密度矩阵重正化群方法（DMRG）在求解一维强关联格点模型的基态时可以获得较高的精度,在应用于二维或准二维问题时,要达到类似的精度通常需要较大的计算量与存储空间.本文提出一种新的DMRG异构并行策略,可以同时发挥计算机中央处理器（CPU）和图形处理器（GPU）的计算性能.针对最耗时的哈密顿量对角化部分,实现了数据的分布式存储,并且给出了CPU和GPU之间的负载平衡策略.以费米Hubbard模型为例,测试了异构并行程序在不同DMRG保留状态数下的运行表现,并给出了相应的性能基准.应用于4腿梯子时,观测到了高温超导中常见的电荷密度条纹,此时保留状态数达到10⁴,使用的GPU显存小于12 GB.     

Test for dispersion constancy in stochastic differential equation models

In this paper, we propose a constancy test for volatility in It processes based on discretely sampled data. The test statistic constitutes an integration of the Ljung–Box test statistic and the kurtosis statistic in the Jarque–Bera test. It is shown that under regularity conditions, the proposed test asymptotically follows a chi‐square distribution under the null hypothesis of constant volatility. To evaluate the test, empirical sizes and powers were examined through a simulation study. Analysis of real data including ultra‐high frequency transaction data and interest rates was also conducted for illustration. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

设计了一种Offner光学系统,用于基于相位差异技术的图像恢复和光学系统波像差的辅助检测。该Offner光学系统采用同轴抛物面反射镜作为Offner反射镜,以高速CCD相机和Shack—Hartmann波前探测器作为接收元件,能完好地消除复色光源在图像恢复过程中带来的色差;设计的RMS波像差小于a／50（A=632．8nm）,结构简单,容易实现。利用该系统分别以分辨率板和光纤光源为目标进行了图像恢复实验,经过恢复后的图像分辨率提高了19％。此外,利用该系统,采用相位差异算法解算了系统波像差,并与Shack—Hartmann波前探测器的测量结果进行了比较。比较显示两者的RMS波像差测量值相差5％,证明该系统同样能够进行光学波前检测。     

On estimating model complexity and prediction errors in multivariate calibration: generalized resampling by random sample weighting (RSW)

The present paper focuses on determining the number of PLS components by using resampling methods such as cross validation (CV), Monte Carlo cross validation (MCCV), bootstrapping (BS), etc. To resample the training data, random non‐negative weights are assigned to the original training samples and a sample‐weighted PLS model is developed without increasing the computational burden much. Random weighting is a generalization of the traditional resampling methods and is expected to have a lower risk of getting an insufficient training set. For prediction, only the training samples with random weights less than a threshold value are selected to ensure that the prediction samples have less influence on training. For complicated data, because the optimal number of PLS components is often not unique or readily distinguished and there might exist an optimal region of model complexity, the distribution of prediction errors can be more useful than a single value of root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP). Therefore, the distribution of prediction errors are estimated by repeated random sample weighting and used to determine model complexity. RSW is compared with its traditional counterparts like CV, MCCV, BS and a recently proposed randomization test method to demonstrate its usefulness. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Determination of Mercury at the Picogram per Milliliter Level Using Immobilized Horseradish Peroxidase

Abstract

New test method and test device for the mercury (II) determination at the pg/mL level were developed based on the mercury inhibitory action on horseradish peroxidase immobilized on solid supports – in the cells of the polystyrene plate and on the chromatographic paper. The reactions of o-dianisidine, 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine and o-phenylenediamine oxidation by hydrogen peroxide were used as the indicator reactions. The mercury inhibitory effect increased in the presence of thiourea. Under the elucidated optimal conditions the calibration curves for the mercury determination showed a linear relationship between the peroxidase inhibition degree and the mercury concentration in the range of 0,1–1000 pg/mL. The mercury detection limits were 0,1–10 pg/mL in dependence on the concrete indicator reaction. The analysis completed in 15 min. The proposed test device was applied to the mercury determination in underground waters of Moscow region. The mercury content obtained was coincident with that obtained by atomic-fluorescent method with cold vapour.
