Contrast Adaptation Decreases Complexity in Retinal Ganglion Cell Spike Train

The difference in temporal structures of retinal ganglion cell spike trains between spontaneous activity and firing activity after contrast adaptation is investigated. The Lempel-Ziv complexity analysis reveals that the complexity of the neural spike train decreases after contrast adaptation. This implies that the behaviour of the neuron becomes ordered, which may carry relevant information about the external stimulus. Thus, during the neuron activity after contrast adaptation, external information could be encoded in forms of some certain patterns in the temporal structure of spike train that is significantly different, compared to that of the spike train during spontaneous activity, although the firing rates in spontaneous activity and firing activity after contrast adaptation are sometime similar.

多子阵子空间拟合波达方向估计

提出了考虑阵元互耦的子空间拟合波达方向估计方法。用一带状、对称Toeplitz矩阵对均匀线阵的互耦矩阵建模。根据互耦矩阵自由度,去除部分两边阵元,研究了子空间拟合算法中ESPRIT算法的理论性能。在大快拍的情况下,均匀线阵的MCLS-ESPRIT算法的角度估计误差是一个零均值的联合高斯分布,同时给出了分布的协方差表达式。由方差的数值计算可知,在阵元数和信源数确定的情况下,存在估计标准差最小的子阵;与不存在互耦的理想情况相比,除了估计标准差少许增加外,性能接近。本文的方法已应用于高分辨率测深侧扫声呐,获得了好结果。在声呐阵阵元数增加的条件下,用本文的方法,能抑制均匀线阵的互耦的影响。     

Determination of Thermal Conductivity of Liquids by a Multi-Point Laser Pump Method

As an advanced optical method, a multi-point pump method is presented for measurements of thermo-physical properties of liquids. Meanwhile, based on the laser-induced thermal grating method, a new theory model is presented and used to analyse the thermal effects caused by the multi-point laser pump, by which the thermal conductivity of liquids can be obtained. The results of some typical liquids, such as water, ethanol and acetone, are presented and are consistent with those of acknowledged values, demonstrating that the multi-point method is simple and useful for characterizing thermal properties of liquids.     

Theoretical study of stereodynamics for the N+H2/D2/T2 reactions

The effects of isotopic variants on stereodynamic properties for the title reactions have been investigated using a quasi-classical trajectory method based on the first excited state NH2（I^2A＇） potential energy surface [Li Y Q and Varandas A J C 2010 J. Phys. Chem. A 114 9644]. The forward–backward symmetry scattering of the differential cross section can be observed, which demonstrates that all these reactions follow the insertion mechanism. Three angle distribution functions P（θr）, P（φr）, and P（θr, φr） with different collision energies and target molecules H2/D2/T2 are calculated. It is shown that the product rotational angular momentum is not only aligned, but also oriented along the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane. The title reaction is mainly governed by the ＂in-plane＂ mechanism through the calculated distribution function P（θr, φr）. The observable influences on the rotational polarization of the product by the isotopic substitution of H/D/T can be demonstrated.     

Fourth-Order Spatial Correlation of Thermal Light

We investigate the fourth-order spatial correlation properties of pseudo-thermal light in the photon counting regime, and apply the Klyshko advanced-wave picture to describe the process of four-photon coincidence counting measurement. We deduce the theory of a proof-of-principle four-photon coincidence counting configuration, and find that if the four randomly radiated photons come from the same radiation area and are indistinguishable in principle, the fourth-order correlation of them is 24 times larger than that when four photons come from different radiation areas. In addition, we also show that the higher-order spatial correlation function can be decomposed into multiple lower-order correlation functions, and the contrast and visibility of low-order correlation peaks are less than those of higher orders, while the resolutions all are identical. This study may be useful for better understanding the four-photon interference and multi-channel correlation imaging.
