Adaptive varying-coefficient linear quantile model: a profiled estimating equations approach

We consider an estimating equations approach to parameter estimation in adaptive varying-coefficient linear quantile model. We propose estimating equations for the index vector of the model in which the unknown nonparametric functions are estimated by minimizing the check loss function, resulting in a profiled approach. The estimating equations have a bias-corrected form that makes undersmoothing of the nonparametric part unnecessary. The estimating equations approach makes it possible to obtain the estimates using a simple fixed-point algorithm. We establish asymptotic properties of the estimator using empirical process theory, with additional complication due to the nuisance nonparametric part. The finite sample performance of the new model is illustrated using simulation studies and a forest fire dataset.     

Dynamics of a higher-order rational difference equation

We consider a higher order rational difference equation. Firstly, we skillfully give a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence and uniqueness of the initial value problem. And then we investigate the local stability, asymptotic behavior, periodicity and oscillation of solutions for the difference equation. Finally, we give some numerical simulations to illustrate our results.     

Strong magnetic instability in correlated metallic Bi(2)Ir(2)O(7)

We report an experimental/theoretical study of single-crystal Bi(2)Ir(2)O(7) that possesses a metallic state with strongly exchange-enhanced paramagnetism. The ground state of Bi(2)Ir(2)O(7) is characterized by the following features: (1) a divergent low-temperature magnetic susceptibility that indicates no long-range order down to 50?mK; (2) strongly field-dependent coefficients of the low-temperature T and T(3) terms of the specific heat; (3) a conspicuously large Wilson ratio R(W)?≈?53.5; and (4) unusual temperature and field dependences of the Hall resistivity that abruptly change below 80?K, without any clear correlation with the magnetic behavior. All these unconventional properties suggest the existence of an exotic ground state in Bi(2)Ir(2)O(7).

Room-temperature ferromagnetism of Cu-doped ZnO films probed by soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism

We report direct evidence of room-temperature ferromagnetic ordering in O-deficient ZnO:Cu films by using soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray absorption. Our measurements have revealed unambiguously two distinct features of Cu atoms associated with (i) magnetically ordered Cu ions present only in the oxygen-deficient samples and (ii) magnetically disordered regular Cu2+ ions present in all the samples. We find that a sufficient amount of both oxygen vacancies (V(O)) and Cu impurities is essential to the observed ferromagnetism, and a non-negligible portion of Cu impurities is uninvolved in the magnetic order. Based on first-principles calculations, we propose a microscopic "indirect double-exchange" model, in which alignments of localized large moments of Cu in the vicinity of the V(O) are mediated by the large-sized vacancy orbitals.     

基于FPGA的实时图像增强设计

局部直方图均衡是以全局直方图均衡化方法为基础,对图像中每个像素点所在的邻域范围求出灰度转换函数,然后仅应用在该中心点处。为了提高算法的运算速度,特别是在处理视频图像时,采取传统的DSP的设计方法在速度上很难满足需要,因此,利用FPGA实现是一个很好的选择。为使局部直方图均衡方法能够在FPGA上具体实现,从空间域的角度改进了图像灰度直方图均衡算法,并利用VHDL语言对算法进行了完全可综合的RTL级描述,最后在硬件平台上验证了结果。

Optical wavelet de-noising applied in multi-span nonlinear fiber links

In this work, optical wavelet de-noising with several different types of wavelets such as db4, coif4 and dmey wavelet was applied at the end of the 40 Gbit/s multi-span intensity-modulated fiber communication systems. The results of numerical simulations carried out in different fiber links demonstrated that the optical wavelet de-noising method could remove the random amplitude fluctuation induced by the interaction of EDFA’s ASE noise and optical fiber’s dispersion and nonlinearity. The SNR and BER curves of the optical bit sequence without and with optical wavelet de-noising in dispersion compensation fiber link were plotted to show the effectiveness of the wavelet de-noising in the fiber-optic communication systems and wavelet de-noising with demy wavelet can achieve better result than with other type wavelet.     

Hollow Gaussian beam generated by beam shaping with phase-only liquid crystal spatial light modulator

Based on the refractive beam shaping system, the transformation of a quasi-Gaussian beam into a dark hollow Gaussian beam by a phase-only liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) is proposed. According to the energy conservation and constant optical path principle, the phase distribution of the aspheric lens and the phase-only LC-SLM can modulate the wave-front properly to generate the hollow beam. The numerical simulation results indicate that, the dark hollow intensity distribution of the output shaped beam can be maintained well for a certain propagation distance during which the dark region will not decrease whereas the ideal hollow Gaussian beam will do. By designing the phase modulation profile, which loaded into the LC-SLM carefully, the experimental results indicate that the dark hollow intensity distribution of the output shaped beam can be maintained well even at a distance much more than 550 mm from the LC-SLM, which agree with the numerical simulation results.
