Periodic Orbits Around Kerr Sen Black Holes

We investigate periodic orbits and zoom-whirl behaviors around a Kerr Sen black hole with a rational number q in terms of three integers(z,w,v),from which one can immediately read off the number of leaves(or zooms),the ordering of the leaves,and the number of whirls.The characteristic of zoom-whirl periodic orbits is the precession of multi-leaf orbits in the strong-field regime.This feature is analogous to the counterpart in the Kerr space-time.Finally,we analyze the impact of the charge parameter b on the zoom-whirl periodic orbits.Compared to the periodic orbits around the Kerr black hole,it is found that typically lower energies are required for the same orbits in the Kerr Sen black hole.     

A comparison of silicon oxide and nitride as host matrices on the photoluminescence from Er+ ions

This paper compares the properties of silicon oxide and nitride as host matrices for Er ions.Erbium-doped silicon nitride films were deposited by a plasma-enhanced chemical-vapour deposition system.After deposition,the films were implanted with Er3+ at different doses.Er-doped thermal grown silicon oxide films were prepared at the same time as references.Photoluminescence features of Er3+ were inspected systematically.It is found that silicon nitride films are suitable for high concentration doping and the thermal quenching effect is not severe.However,a very high annealing temperature up to 1200° C is needed to optically activate Er3+,which may be the main obstacle to impede the application of Er-doped silicon nitride.     

Adaptive Synchronization of Fractional-Order Complex-Valued Uncertainty Dynamical Network with Coupling Delay

Compared with real-valued complex networks, complex-valued dynamic networks have a wider application space. In addition, considering the existence of time delay and uncertainty in the actual system, the synchronization problem of fractional-order complex-valued dynamic networks with uncertain parameter and coupled delay is studied in this paper. In particular, the uncertain parameter is correlated with time delay. By using fractional derivative inequalities and linear delay fractional order equations, the synchronization of uncertainty complex networks with coupling delay is realized. Sufficient conditions for global asymptotic synchronization are obtained. The obtained synchronization results are applicable to most complex network systems with or without delay. Finally, numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the obtained results.

     

Assignments of Nonexchangeable Proton Resonances and the Solution Structures of d–TGGGT

In this paper, we report the studies of the solution structures of synthetic pentadeoxyribonucleotide d-TGGGT(NH₄ ⁺ salt) using 2D–NMR. The 1H–NMR experiments with different temperatures and concentrations reveal an equilibrium between single strand and aggregation. In the experimental condition(22°C, 13mmol/ L), the cross peaks in the COSY spectrum are mainly from single strand, and the spin systems of sugar resonances of this component can be assigned. In contrast, the cross peaks in the NOESY spectrum mainly come from aggregation and the sequential assignments of bases, sugar 1′, 2′ and 2″ protons can be carried out. From NOE connectivities, it is obvious that the aggregation adopts a right–handed helix conformation. It is suggested that the aggregation in our experiment corresponds to the tetramolecular complex.     

Sparse non-negative matrix factorizations for ultrasound factor analysis

Factor analysis is a powerful tool used for the analysis of dynamic studies. One of the major drawbacks of Factor Analysis of Dynamic Structures (FADS) is that the solution is not mathematically unique when only non-negativity constraints are used to determine factors and factor coefficients. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to correct FADS solutions by constructing and minimizing a new objective function. The method is improved from non-negative matrix factorizations (NMFs) algorithm by adding a sparse constraint that penalizes multiple components in the images of the factor coefficients. The technique is tested on computer simulations, and a patient ultrasound liver study. The results show that the method works well in comparison to the truth in computer simulations and to region of interest (ROI) measurements in the experimental studies.     

Mechanical and electronic properties of stoichiometric silicene and germanene oxides from first‐principles

Using first‐principles calculations, we investigate the fully oxidized silicene and germanene with stoichiometric ratio Si:O/Ge:O = 1:1. For both compounds, the zigzag ether‐like conformation (z‐sSiO/z‐sGeO) is found to be the most energetically favorable structure. These z‐sSiO and z‐sGeO nanosheets have prominent elastic characteristics, which even exhibit an unconventional auxetic behavior with negative Poisson ratios. After oxidation, the semi‐metallic nanosheets are transformed into semiconductors with narrow direct band gaps. Due to the anisotropic mechanical and electronic properties, the z‐sSiO and z‐sGeO possess an axially high intrinsic charge mobility up to the order of 10⁴ cm²/Vs, which is comparable to that of graphene nanoribbons. Our studies demonstrate that the silicene and germanene oxides have peculiar mechanical and electronic properties, which endow these nanostructures for potential applications in nanoelectronics and devices.

Absorption coefficient measurement of high-resistivity germanium at 2.52 THz by Brewster’s angle method

Brewster’s angle method was adopted to measure the absorption coefficient of a set of high-resistivity germanium samples at 2.52 THz in this paper. Numerical simulations were firstly carried out to evaluate the errors during measurement. The experimental setup was improved, and measurement was carried out based on a CW THz laser at 2.52 THz.     

Optimization of detection device geometry for NIR spectroscopy using a three-layered model of stone fruit

The influences of detection device geometry and fiber optic parameters on near infrared spectroscopy measurements were assessed using stone fruit models based on Monte Carlo simulation. The stone fruit was modeled as concentric spherical layered tissues including the skin, the flesh and the core. The choices of the detection angle, the diameter of the detection fiber, the numerical aperture, and the height of the probe were discussed. Receiving diffuse reflectance signals at detection angles in the range of 35°–50° and normalizing the detection signals by the collection area and the solid acceptance angle prior to use are suggested. Fiber probes with diameters D = 0.06 cm or 0.1 cm, NA = 0.20 or 0.30, and height h ≤ 0.8 cm are preferred. The probe deflection angle should be limited to within ±5° to guarantee measurement accuracy.
