Topological Structure of Phase Vortex in Resonating Valence Bond Superconductivity

In this paper, based on the Schrfdinger equation and the ψ mapping theory, the accurate expression for the gradient of resonating valence bond superconducting phase Θ^2s is found. The expression of Δ↓Θ^2s is just the velocity flow without considering the coefficient. The curl of Δ↓Θ^2s is where the vortex lies, and has important relation to δ2（ψ） and an important relation to the zero points of resonating valence bond superconducting order parameter ψ. The topological structure of the vortex is characterized by the ψ-mapping topological numbers Hopf-index and Brouwer degrees. The Ginzberg-Landau equation in resonating valence bond state also is discussed in this theory. The magnetic property is discussed also.     

Magnetic Extraction of Energy from Accretion Disc Around a Rotating Black Hole

An analytical expression for the jet power extracted from the disc (JPEFD) is derived based on an equivalent circuit in black hole magnetosphere with a mapping relation between the radial coordinate of the disc and that of unknown astrophysical load. It turns out that this JPEFD is comparable with two other JPEFDs derived in the Poynting flux and hydrodynamic regimes, respectively. In addition, the relative importance of this JPEFD relative to the Blandford-Znajek power is discussed. It is shown that the BZ power is generally dominated by the JPEFD except in some extreme cases. Furthermore, we show that the JPEFD derived in our model can be well fitted with the jet power of 3C 273.     

Electromagnetic scattering from two parallel 2D targets arbitrarily located in a Gaussian beam

In this paper based on the equivalence principle and the reciprocity theorem, the scattered field up to second-order by two parallel 2D targets arbitrarily located in a Gaussian beam is considered. The first-order solution can easily be obtained by calculating the scattered field from isolated targets when illuminated by a Gaussian beam. However, because of the difficulty in formulating the couple scattering field, it is almost impossible to find an analytical solution for the second-order scattered field if the shapes of 2D targets are not canonical geometries. In order to overcome this problem, in this paper, the second-order solution is derived by using the technique based on the reciprocity theorem and the equivalence principle. Meanwhile, the relation between the secondary scattered field from target #1 and target {\#}2 is obtained. Specifically, the bi- and mono-static scattering of Gaussian beam by two parallel adjacent inhomogeneous plasma-coated conducting circular cylinders is calculated and the dependence of attenuation of the scattering width on the thickness of the coated layer, electron number density, collision frequency and radar frequency is discussed in detail.     

Variable fluid properties and variable heat flux effects on the flow and heat transfer in a non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid over an unsteady stretching sheet with slip velocity

The effects of variable fluid properties and variable heat flux on the flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid over an unsteady stretching sheet in the presence of slip velocity have been studied. The governing differential equations are transformed into a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations and then solved with a numerical technique using appropriate boundary conditions for various physical parameters. The numerical solution for the governing non-linear boundary value problem is based on applying the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method coupled with the shooting technique over the entire range of physical parameters. The effects of various parameters like the viscosity parameter, thermal conductivity parameter, unsteadiness parameter, slip velocity parameter, the Deborah number, and the Prandtl number on the flow and temperature profiles as well as on the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are presented and discussed. Comparison of numerical results is made with the earlier published results under limiting cases.     

Vocal tract resonances tracking by auxiliary vector particle filters

An auxiliary vector particle filter was proposed to present the vocal tract resonances (VTRs) tracking.It uses particle filter based on a version of state-space model that describes the characteristics of speech signal.The speech model consists of a target-guided dynamic function and a non-linear prediction mapping from resonance frequencies and bandwidths to LPC cepstra(LPCC).There are two characteristics in the proposed method.First,particle filtering technique is put forth to solve the non-linear problem of speech model.Second,an auxiliary vector,embedded in the state function of speech model,is applied to incorporate the most current observations and to generate the proposal distribution of particle filter.The experimental results show that this method is able to track the VTRs of continuous speech utterance efficiently with a small number of particles and able to solve the problem of spurious peaks and merging peaks.     

Laboratory Studies of the Stratified Rotating Flow Passing over an Isolated Obstacle

We study the flow of a density-stratified fluid passing over an isolated obstacle,using towing-tank experiments.Our special concern is the response of the flow with different Froude numbers passing over a three-dimensional obstacle.A series of experiments of the stratified rotating flow passing over an isolated obstacle was carried out with the towering -tank controlled by the similarity laws and dynamic non-dimension parameters.These experiments show that the Froude number is a very important parameter,and the lee wave and the eddy structure experiments show that the Froude number is a very important parameter,and the lee wave and the eddy structure appear simultaneously under an appropriate conditions.The effect of rotation on the lee wave is mainly to change wave amplitude,particularly to restrain the development of the lee wave and to promote the formation of an eddy.     

Entropy squeezing of an atom with a k-photon in the Jaynes--Cummings model

The entropy squeezing of an atom with a k-photon in the Jaynes-Cummings model is investigated. For comparison, we also study the corresponding variance squeezing and atomic inversion. Analytical results show that entropy squeezing is preferable to variance squeezing for zero atomic inversion. Moreover, for initial conditions of the system the relation between squeezing and photon transition number is also discussed. This provides a theoretical approach to finding out the optimal entropy squeezing.     

A uniformly valid series solution to the unsteady stagnation-point flow towards an impulsively stretching surface

The paper studies the problem of the unsteady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a flat deformable sheet. The flow is started impulsively from rest and the sheet is suddenly stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation point. An analytical series solution is obtained by means of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Also, the homotopy-Pade′ technique is employed. An explicit formula for the local friction coefficient is provided. The present formula, different from the perturbation solution, is accurate and uniformly valid for all dimensionless time in the whole spatial region and for all possible values of physical parameter λ, defined as the ratio of the potential flow velocity to the sheet sudden stretching velocity. Numerical tests are done to verify the present formula for its validity and accuracy.     

Grain Crush and Its Evolution in Granular Material： a Two-Dimensional Distinct Element Model Approach

A crush criterion and a simplified post-crush process for spherical grains are introduced into the traditional distinct element model (DEM). The crush criterion is based on Herzian comtact, and it indicates a negative relation between critical force Fcr and radius R via Fcr ∝ R^-3/2. Effects of grain crush on deformation pattern and statistical features of crush evolution for samples under uniaxial strain load are intensively investigated. Influences of maximum crush times and particle size distribution (PSD) are also discussed. It is found that: (1) Grain crush will blur the localization of deformation. (2) Crush is prone to occur in larger grains, due to force concentration and lower critical force Fcr for larger grains. (3) Grain crush only temporarily reduces contact force, which results in the most rapid increase of the number of grains with maximum crush time.
