Network Dynamics in Elemental Assimilation and Metabolism

Metabolism and physiology frequently follow non-linear rhythmic patterns which are reflected in concepts of homeostasis and circadian rhythms, yet few biomarkers are studied as dynamical systems. For instance, healthy human development depends on the assimilation and metabolism of essential elements, often accompanied by exposures to non-essential elements which may be toxic. In this study, we applied laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to reconstruct longitudinal exposure profiles of essential and non-essential elements throughout prenatal and early post-natal development. We applied cross-recurrence quantification analysis (CRQA) to characterize dynamics involved in elemental integration, and to construct a graph-theory based analysis of elemental metabolism. Our findings show how exposure to lead, a well-characterized toxicant, perturbs the metabolism of essential elements. In particular, our findings indicate that high levels of lead exposure dysregulate global aspects of metabolic network connectivity. For example, the magnitude of each element’s degree was increased in children exposed to high lead levels. Similarly, high lead exposure yielded discrete effects on specific essential elements, particularly zinc and magnesium, which showed reduced network metrics compared to other elements. In sum, this approach presents a new, systems-based perspective on the dynamics involved in elemental metabolism during critical periods of human development.

电场中里德伯原子动力学性质的半经典理论研究

利用闭合轨道理论和Poincaré截面两种方法研究了鞍点附近电场中高里德伯态Li原子的动力学性质.由于原子实的作用,体系是混沌的,闭合轨道和周期轨道在混沌体系中并存,但二者在Poincaré截面上的反映是不同的.讨论了两种半经典理论在研究混沌体系时的联系,得到了仅靠闭合轨道理论得不到的信息. 关键词： Poincaré截面 回归谱 Stark效应

基于Samelson逆的向量值连分式的收敛准则

The aim of this work is to give some criteria on the convergence of vector valued continued fractions defined by Samelson inverse. We give a new approach to prove the convergence theory of continued fractions. First, by means of the modified classical backward recurrence relation, we obtain a formula between the m-th and n-th convergence of vector valued continued fractions. Second, using this formula, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of vector valued continued fractions.     

Rational approximations of the Arrhenius integral using Jacobi fractions and gaussian quadrature

The aim of this work is to find approaches for the Arrhenius integral by using the n-th convergent of the Jacobi fractions. The n-th convergent is a rational function whose numerator and denominator are polynomials which can be easily computed from three-term recurrence relations. It is noticed that such approaches are equivalent to the one established by the Gauss quadrature formula and it can be seen that the coefficients in the quadrature formula can be given as a function of the coefficients in the recurrence relations. An analysis of the relative error percentages in the approximations is also presented.     

Divisibity,iterated digit sums,primality tests

The divisibility of numbers is obtained by iteration of the weighted sum of their integer digits. Then evaluation of the related congruences yields information about the primality of numbers in certain recursive sequences. From the row elements in generalized Delannoy triangles, we can verify the primality of any constellation of numbers. When a number set is not a prime constellation, we can identify factors of their composite numbers. The constellation primality test is proven in all generality, and examples are given for twin primes, prime triplets, and Sophie Germain primes.

东亚北部地区气温的冬季-冬季再现特征研究

对东亚北部(40—50°N,100—130°E)区域1953—2012年大气温度的冬季-夏季-次年冬季(简称冬季-冬季)的季节变化特征进行了初步研究.结果表明:2008年以来,该区域的气温从低层至高层(1000—400 h Pa)连续三年出现冬季偏冷-夏季偏暖-次年冬季偏冷的典型特征,20世纪50—60年代亦有类似情况;而20世纪90年代则出现了与此相反的冬季偏暖-夏季偏冷-次年冬季偏暖的变化特征.将这种典型的气温季节变化特征定义为一种新的变化机理:冬季-冬季再现(WWR).根据1953—2012年的历年变化情况将这60年划分为四种不同的类型:负(正)冬季-冬季再现(negative/positive WWR)型和负(正)冬季-冬季非再现(negative/positive non-WWR)型.其中,气温表现为WWR型的年份共计23年,出现概率近40%,并且该WWR特征是相对独立于El Nio-南方涛动指数的变化而存在的.对不同类型年份的位势高度场、垂直速度场及其850 h Pa风场进行的合成分析表明:对于WWR型,高层(500 h Pa)至低层(1000 h Pa)的大气内部动力过程具有与气温相匹配的冬季-冬季的再现特征;而non-WWR型则没有出现类似的特征,从而在一定程度验证了WWR存在的可能性.WWR的提出为进一步开展当前全球增暖背景下冬季低温事件的频发提供了一个新的思路.     

Absorption and Recurrence Spectra of Nonhydrogenic Rydberg Atom Near a Metal Surface

Multielectron to theoretical treatments atoms near a metal surface are essentially more complicated than hydrogen atom with regard By using the semicalssical dosed orbit theory generalized to the multielecton atoms, we study the dynamical properties of the Rydberg lithium atom near a metal surface. The photoabsorption spectra and recurrence spectra of this system have also been calculated. Considering the effect of the ionic core potential of the Rydberg lithium atom, the number of the closed orbits increases, which leads to more peaks in the recurrence spectra than the case of hydrogen atom near a metal surface. This result shows that the core-scattered effects play an important role in nonhydrogenic atoms. This study is a new application of the closed-orbit theory and is of potential experimental interest.
