Effects of delayed recovery and nonuniform transmission on the spreading of diseases in complex networks

We investigate the effects of delaying the time to recovery (delayed recovery) and of nonuniform transmission on the propagation of diseases on structured populations. Through a mean-field approximation and large-scale numerical simulations, we find that postponing the transition from the infectious to the recovered states can largely reduce the epidemic threshold, therefore promoting the outbreak of epidemics. On the other hand, if we consider nonuniform transmission among individuals, the epidemic threshold increases, thus inhibiting the spreading process. When both mechanisms are at work, the latter might prevail, hence resulting in an increase of the epidemic threshold with respect to the standard case, in which both ingredients are absent. Our findings are of interest for a better understanding of how diseases propagate on structured populations and to a further design of efficient immunization strategies.     

Theoretical analysis of the performance of a single side band multicarrier source based on a re-circulating frequency shifter influenced by an optical bandpass filter

An optical bandpass filter （OBF） is an important element whose properties considerably influence the output performance of a single side band multicarrier source based on a re-circulating frequency shifter. The influence of the OBF in the loop on the output spectrum is theoretically analyzed. Numerical simulations and experiments are Mso carried out. Results show that the steepness and deepness of a nonflat-top filter influence the stability of the spectrum of an output multicarrier. To obtain multicarrier output with tone to noise ratio （TNR） 〉26 dB and error vector magnitude （EVM） 〈0.25, the steepness ratio of the filter should be greater than 0.75 and deepness should be larger than 0.99.     

Role of chelating agent in chemical and fluorescent properties of SnO2 nanoparticles

A modified polyacrylamide gel route is applied to synthesize SnO2 nanoparticles. High-quality SnO2 nanoparticles with a uniform size are prepared using different chelating agents. The average particle size of the samples is found to depend on the choice of the chelating agent. The photoluminescence spectrum detected at λex = 230 nm shows a new peak located at 740 nm due to the surface defect level distributed at the nanoparticle boundaries.

Low temperature electronic transports in the presence of a density gradient

In this paper, we review low temperature electronic transport results in high quality two-dimensional electron systems. We discuss the quantization of the diagonal resistance, R_xx, at the edges of several quantum Hall states. Each quantized R_xx value turns out to be close to the difference between the two adjacent Hall plateaus in the off-diagonal resistance, R_xy. Moreover, peaks in R_xx occur at different positions in positive and negative magnetic fields. All three R_xx features can be explained quantitatively by a ∼1% cm electron density gradient. Furthermore, based on this observation, the well known but still enigmatic resistivity rule, relating R_xx to , finds a simple interpretation in terms of this gradient. In another sample, at 1.2 K, R_xx we observe a strongly linear magnetic field dependence. Surprisingly, this linear magnetoresistance also originates from the density gradient. Our findings throw an unexpected light on the relationship between the experimentally measured R_xx and the diagonal resistivity ρ_xx.     

Electrocatalytic activity of ordered intermetallic PtSb for methanol electro-oxidation

Ordered intermetallic PtSb had been synthesized by arc-melted and then sintering treatment. The electro-oxidation of liquid methanol on PtSb was investigated at room temperature by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results are compared to those at a polycrystalline platinum electrode surface. It was found that PtSb intermetallic was catalytically more active than pure platinum according to the onset potential and current density. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and XPS technologies had been used to investigate the crystal structure and electron effect.     

A New theory for evaluating the number density of inclusions in films

A new formulation derived from thermal characters of inclusions and host films for estimating laser induced damage threshold has been deduced. This formulation is applicable for dielectric films when they are irradiated by laser beam with pulse width longer than tens picoseconds. This formulation can interpret the relationship between pulse-width and damage threshold energy density of laser pulse obtained experimentally. Using this formulation, we can analyze which kind of inclusion is the most harmful inclusion. Combining it with fractal distribution of inclusions, we have obtained an equation which describes relationship between number density of inclusions and damage probability. Using this equation, according to damage probability and corresponding laser energy density, we can evaluate the number density and distribution in size dimension of the most harmful inclusions.
