Respiratory noise correction using phase information

Respiratory noise is a confounding factor in functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data analysis. A novel method called Respiratory noise Correction using Phase information is proposed to retrospectively correct for the respiratory noise in functional MRI (fMRI) time series. It is demonstrated that the respiratory movement and the phase of functional MRI images are highly correlated in time. The signal fluctuation due to respiratory movements can be effectively estimated from the phase variation and removed from the functional MRI time series using a Wiener filtering technique. In our experiments, this new method is compared with RETROICOR, which requires recording respiration signal simultaneously in an fMRI experiment. The two techniques show comparable performance with respect to the respiratory noise correction for fMRI time series. However, this technique is more advantageous because there is no need for monitoring the subjects’ respiration or changing functional MRI protocols. This technique is also potentially useful for correcting respiratory noise from abnormal breathing or when the respiration is not periodic.     

Runaway Electron Measurements in the EAST Tokamak

An experimental study of runaway electrons in the EAST tokamak has been performed by a recently developed multi‐channel hard x‐ray diagnostics based on NaI(TL) scintillator detectors. It is found that in the current quench phase, the inductive loop voltage plays an important role in the generation of runaway electrons. And the avalanche mechanism was the main mechanism for runaway electrons after the disruptions. The distribution and transportation of runaway electrons were also investigated by multi‐channel hard x‐ray diagnostics. It is also found that the intensity of runaway electrons emission in the core plasma was much higher than those in the downside of the cross‐section, while the emission intensity of runaway electrons in the core plasma was almost the same. Calculated shrinking coefficient of runaway electrons emission after the plasma disruption was about 26 m/s according to the experimental data (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A K-shell model for laser-produced Al plasma

The spectra from laser-produced plasma have been simulated by the newly developed model. The simulation agrees well with the experimental results, which can prove that the K-shell model is suitable for the application of the spectrum from laser-produced plasma. Also, the jkl satellite lines were found important for predicting the spectra.     

A new method for removing impulse noise based on noise space characteristic

This paper proposes a new method for eliminating impulse noise. Based on the space characteristic of object and noise, three kinds of basic noise patterns are introduced to describe noise and detect noise candidates. Correspondingly, noise removal operators are presented to remove the impulse noise. Extensive experiment results have shown that the proposed method is better than some of the state-of-the-art methods.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering effect of gold nanoparticle arrays: The influence of annealing temperature,excitation power and array thickness

Gold nanoparticle arrays are fabricated for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and the effect of the annealing temperature, the thickness of nanoparticle array and the exciting power on the SERS signals are investigated. The particle distribution and particle size are dense and uniform on the glass substrate when the 10 nm gold film was annealed at 250 °C and strong SERS signals for Rhodamine 6G were achieved via a 532 nm excitation with a 10 mW power. The SERS signal at 1650 cm⁻¹ is enhanced more than 10 times as compared to that of the gold film without annealing. The strong SERS behavior of gold nanoparticle arrays may broaden the SERS applications in biomedical and analytical chemistry.

WZ相的C₄₄随压强增加呈下降趋势, 导致WZ相力学不稳定, 并向RS相转变.当压强大于2.18 GPa时, RS相C₁₁, C₁₂随压强增加而增大, 并且C₄₄保持稳定, 说明RS相具有良好的高压稳定性与力学性能. 关键词： 第一性原理 相变 电子结构 弹性性质

The Essence of Operators’ Weyl Ordering Scheme and New Operator Identities for Converting Q−P Ordering to Weyl Ordering

We find new operator formulas for converting Q?P and P?Q ordering to Weyl ordering, where Q and P are the coordinate and momentum operator. In this way we reveal the essence of operators’ Weyl ordering scheme, e.g., Weyl ordered operator polynomial ${_{:}^{:}}\;Q^{m}P^{n}\;{_{:}^{:}}$ , $$\begin{aligned} {_{:}^{:}}\;Q^{m}P^{n}\;{_{:}^{:}} =&\sum_{l=0}^{\min (m,n)} \biggl( \frac{-i\hbar }{2} \biggr) ^{l}l!\binom{m}{l}\binom{n}{l}Q^{m-l}P^{n-l} \\ =& \biggl( \frac{\hbar }{2} \biggr) ^{ ( m+n ) /2}i^{n}H_{m,n} \biggl( \frac{\sqrt{2}Q}{\sqrt{\hbar }},\frac{-i\sqrt{2}P}{\sqrt{\hbar }} \biggr) \bigg|_{Q_{\mathrm{before}}P} \end{aligned}$$ where ${}_{:}^{:}$ ${}_{:}^{:}$ denotes the Weyl ordering symbol, and H _m,n is the two-variable Hermite polynomial. This helps us to know the Weyl ordering more intuitively.
