Radiative leptonic decay Bc^-→τ^vτ^-γ in the standard model and the two-Higgs-doublet model

We analyze the radiative leptonic Bc decay Bc^-→τ^vτ^-γ in the Standard Model and the two- Higgs-doublet model using the non-relativistic constituent quark model. The results confirm that this channel is experimentally promising in view of the large number of Bc mesons which are expected to be produced at future hadron facilities. We also find that this decay is sensitive to the parameters of the two-Higgs-doublet model, and it can be tested in future experiments.     

Functional magnetic resonance imaging reference phantom

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used to pinpoint active brain areas. Changes in neuronal activity modulate the local blood oxygenation level, and the associated modulation of the magnetic field homogeneity can be detected with magnetic resonance imaging. Thus, the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI indirectly measures neuronal activity. Similar modulation of magnetic field homogeneity was here elicited by other means to generate a BOLD-like change in a new phantom constructed to provide reference activations during fMRI. Magnetic inhomogeneities were produced by applying current to coils located near the phantom containing 1.5 ml of Gd-doped water. The signal-to-noise ratio of the images, produced by gradient-recalled echo-planar imaging, varied between 104 and 107 at a selected voxel when the field was and was not inhomogenized, respectively. The contrast of signals between homogeneous and inhomogeneous conditions was generally stable, except in 3% of time points. During the periods of greatest deviations an observable change would have been detected in a simultaneously measured BOLD signal. Such changes could result from the imaging method or occur through glitches in hardware or alterations in the measurement environment. With identical measurement setups, the phantom could allow comparing intersession or intersubject brain activations.     

基于经验模态分解和小波阈值的冲击信号去噪

冲击信号是非线性的并且容易受到噪声污染。为研究冲击信号去噪的问题,本文针对经验模态分解(Empirical Mode Decomposition,EMD)去噪和小波阈值去噪方法存在的不足,提出了基于EMD的小波阈值去噪方法。单纯的EMD去噪方法会在去除高频噪声的同时压制高频的有效信息。本文将EMD与小波阈值去噪相结合,利用连续均方误差准则确定含噪较多的高频固有模态函数(Intrinsic Mode Function, IMF),对高频IMF分量进行小波阈值去噪,以分离并保留这些分量中的有效信息,同时保持低频IMF分量不变。对模拟数据和实际冲击信号进行去噪处理,结果表明,基于EMD的小波阈值去噪方法的去噪效果优于单纯的EMD去噪方法和小波阈值去噪方法。     

Temperature characteristics of small signal gain for Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic lasers

Thermal dependence on the small signal gain of Nd/Cr:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) ceramics was observed experimentally. Usually, Nd:YAG crystal and ceramics have remarkable gain reduction when optical pumping is performed and the temperature of the laser media is upped to 373 K. A CW laser light generated in a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser oscillator was amplified by Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic amplifier, and the output power was measured at non-saturation level. Laser small signal gain of the ceramic disk was kept to 470 K. This property was remarkably different from one of Nd:YAG crystals or ceramics. The peak shift of the fluorescence was observed experimentally when the temperature is high.     

Denoising of quadrature ultrasound Doppler signal from bi-directional flow based on matching pursuit

Denoising of Doppler signal is a preliminary and important step in medical ultrasound imaging. To denoise quadrature Doppler signal from bi-directional flow, we propose a novel method based on matching pursuit in this paper. The proposed method is an iterative decomposition algorithm which decomposes the original Doppler signal into a linear expansion of atoms in a time-frequency dictionary. The time-frequency dictionary is similar to Fourier transform domain and the atoms are similar to orthogonal bases in Fourier transform. In each step of the iteration, the atom which gives the largest inner product with the analyzed signal is selected from the dictionary, and the contribution of this atom is subtracted from the Doppler signal. This process is repeated on the residue until the SNR reaches the maximum. The linear expansion of the selected atoms is the denoised signal. Simulations were conducted on a simulation model with a sampling rate of 12.8 kHz. When the original SNRs are 0 dB, 2 dB, 4 dB, 6 dB, 8 dB, 10 dB, the proposed method can improve the SNR for 7.9 dB, 7.8 dB, 7.5 dB, 7.3 dB, 7.05 dB, 6.8 dB respectively, reduce the root mean square error (RMSE) of the mean frequency waveform to 0.0441 kHz, 0.0303 kHz, 0.0245 kHz, 0.0215 kHz, 0.0161 kHz, 0.0125 kHz respectively, and suppress the RMSE of the spectral width waveform to 0.1774 kHz, 0.0591 kHz, 0.0486 kHz, 0.0170 kHz, 0.0145 kHz, 0.0117 kHz respectively. Preliminary in vivo evaluation was also carried out on a healthy 33-year-old male using B-K medical A/S 3535 ultrasound scanner, and the results showed that the proposed method can effectively enhance the Doppler spectrogram.

在多面转镜激光器扫频光学相干层析成像系统中,激光器存在着输出光谱错位与扫频范围波动的问题.目前的重采样方法中,普遍利用互相关运算校正光谱错位,并进行大范围的截取,保证扫频范围的一致性,但这会导致成像信噪比与分辨率的降低.本文用马赫-曾德尔干涉仪(MZI)采集到的干涉信号对扫频范围波动的问题进行了详细的测量与分析,其中干涉信号的解缠相位曲线的非随机性和平行性,表明该类激光器输出光谱的波长分布具备一致性.在此基础上,提出了一种用最长扫频范围的MZI干涉信号,对样品干涉信号进行时域光谱对齐、然后进行一对多插值的重采样方法.实验与分析表明,该方法利用了所有的光谱信号,保证了样品干涉信号的能量利用率,能有效提高图像的信噪比与分辨率.

A strategy for multivariate calibration based on modified single-index signal regression: Capturing explicit non-linearity and improving prediction accuracy

In this paper, a modified single-index signal regression (mSISR) method is proposed to construct a nonlinear and practical model with high-accuracy. The mSISR method defines the optimal penalty tuning parameter in P-spline signal regression (PSR) as initial tuning parameter and chooses the number of cycles based on minimizing root mean squared error of cross-validation (RMSECV). mSISR is superior to single-index signal regression (SISR) in terms of accuracy, computation time and convergency. And it can provide the character of the non-linearity between spectra and responses in a more precise manner than SISR. Two spectra data sets from basic research experiments, including plant chlorophyll nondestructive measurement and human blood glucose noninvasive measurement, are employed to illustrate the advantages of mSISR. The results indicate that the mSISR method (i) obtains the smooth and helpful regression coefficient vector, (ii) explicitly exhibits the type and amount of the non-linearity, (iii) can take advantage of nonlinear features of the signals to improve prediction performance and (iv) has distinct adaptability for the complex spectra model by comparing with other calibration methods. It is validated that mSISR is a promising nonlinear modeling strategy for multivariate calibration.
