Observation of the lower hybrid waves near the three-dimensional null pair

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in plasma, which is thought to play important roles both in laboratory and natural plasmas through affecting magnetic topology, heating and accelerating particles. During an event on Oct. 1st, 2001, the Cluster tetrahedron circled around the magnetic reconnection region several times, and Xiao et al. first identified the null pair and found that the spectrum of the null-point oscillation shows the maximum power near the lower-hybrid frequency. In this paper we report the observation of electromagnetic and electrostatic wave enhancements near lower hybrid frequency associated with the reconnection process near the null pair. The lower hybrid waves (LHWs) with quasi-perpendicular propagation were identified and also confirmed by the power law of the spectrum of electric and magnetic fields.

A weighted Wilcoxon estimate for the covariate-specific ROC curve

The covariate-specific receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is an important tool for evaluating the classification accuracy of a diagnostic test when it is associated with certain covariates. In this paper, a weighted Wilcoxon estimator is constructed for estimating this curve under the framework of location-scale model for the test result. The asymptotic normality is established, both for the regression parameter estimator and the estimator for the covariate-specific ROC curve at a fixed false positive point. Simulation results show that the Wilcoxon estimator compares favorably to its main competitors in terms of the standard error, especially when outliers exist in the covariates. As an illustration, the new procedure is applied to the dementia data from the national Alzheimer’s coordinating center.     

Reversible photoswitching self-assembly of azobenzene-functionalized hyperbranched polyglycerol induced by host-guest chemistry

Reversible assembly and disassembly of rod-like large complex micelles have been achieved by applying photoswitching of supramolecular inclusion and exclusion of azobenzene-functionalized hyperbranched polyglycerol and α-cyclodextrin as driving force, promising a versatile system for self-assembly switched by light. Hydrogen-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were applied to characterize the azobenzene-functionalized hyperbranched polyglycerol. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic laser light scattering (DLS) were employed to investigate and track the morphology of the rod-like large complex micelles before and after irradiation of UV light.

Separation and enrichment technology of cerium(Ⅲ) ions (Ce~(3+)) has always been of interest,especially in the latest decades,because cerium(Ⅲ) has been widely used as micro-additives in functional materials,gasolene catalysts,polishing powder,ceramic and metallurgical areas.     

Pryce’s mass-center operators and the anomalous velocity of a spinning electron

In the present work, we develop a method to derive the anomalous velocity of a spinning electron. From Dirac equation, the relationships among the expectation values of the Pryce’s mass-center operator, the position operator, the spin operator and the canonical momentum operator are investigated. By requiring that the center of mass for a classical spinning electron is related to the expectation value of Pryce’s mass-center operator, one can obtain a classical expression for the position of the electron. With the classical equations of motion, the anomalous velocity of a spinning electron can be easily obtained. It is shown that two factors contribute to the anomalous velocity: one is dependent on the selection of Pryce’s mass-center operators and the other is a type-independent velocity expressed by the rotational velocity and the Lorentz force.

Study of proton resonances in 18Ne via resonant elastic scattering of 17F+p and its astrophysical implication

The proton resonant properties in ¹⁸Ne, which determine the reaction rate of the key stellar ¹⁴O(α,p)¹⁷F reaction, have been studied by using a technique of proton resonant elastic scattering of ¹⁷F+p. A 4.22 MeV/nucleon ¹⁷F radioactive ion (RI) beam was produced via a projectile-fragmentation reaction, and separated by a Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL). By bombarding a thick (C_H2) _n target, the energy spectra of the recoiled protons were measured by two ΔE-E silicon telescopes at the center-of-mass scattering angles of θ _c.m.≈175°±5°, θ _c.m.≈152°±8°, respectively. Several proton resonances in ¹⁸Ne were observed clearly. A further R-matrix analysis of the experimental data is under way to determine the resonant parameters. The present work reports the preliminary results briefly.
