Pure annihilation type B→K0*±(1430)K(*)干 decays in the family non-universal Z0 model

By assuming that the scalar meson KK₀^*(1430) belongs to the rst excited states or the lowest lying ground states of qq', we study the pure annihilation-type decays B→K₀^*±(1430)K^(*)+ in the QCD factorization approach. Within the Standard Model, the branching fractions are of the order of 10^-8-10^-7, which is possible to measure in the ongoing LHCb experiment or forthcoming Belle-II experiment. We also study these decays in the family non-universal Z' model. The results show that if m_Z' 600 GeV (ξ =0.02), both the branching fractions and CP asymmetries of q⁰ →K₀^*+(1430)K^- could be changed remarkably, which provides us with a place for probing the e ect of new physics. These results could be used to constrain the parameters of the Z' model.     

近红外漫反射光谱信息分解的数量分析

近红外漫反射光谱分析中,一直认为近红外光可获取样品内部的物质信息,但近红外漫反射光谱包含样品内部信息量究竟是多少,一直未给出准确的数量描述。该研究以烤烟样品为实验材料设计样品,每个实验样品分别由表层片状烤烟与内部烤烟粉末两部分组合而成,测定样品近红外漫反射光谱,提取光谱主成分信息(principal component, PC),将所提取的各主成分的不同组合作为统计指标,对样品进行聚类分析,结合各主成分方差贡献率,初步给出了样品不同深度光谱信息分解量的描述。实验结果表明,近红外漫反射光谱第1和第2主成分包含的信息量约占总信息的98%,反映样品表层信息;第3和第4主成分约占1.5%,表征样品内部信息。这一结果将有助于我们对近红外光谱定性定量分析时主成分信息的选择有一个更深刻的理解。     

Effect of entrance-channel asymmetry on the isospin dependence of nucleon emission in heavy ion collisions

Using the isospin- and momentum-dependent hadronic transport model IBUU04, we have investigated the influence of the entrance-channel isospin asymmetry on the sensitivity of the pre-equilibrium neutron/proton ratio to symmetry energy in central heavy-ion collisions induced by high-energy radioactive beams. Our analysis and discussion are based on the dynamical simulations of the three     

An empirical study on information spillover effects between the Chinese copper futures market and spot market

This study employs a parametric approach based on TGARCH and GARCH models to estimate the VaR of the copper futures market and spot market in China. Considering the short selling mechanism in the futures market, the paper introduces two new notions: upside VaR and extreme upside risk spillover. And downside VaR and upside VaR are examined by using the above approach. Also, we use Kupiec’s [P.H. Kupiec, Techniques for verifying the accuracy of risk measurement models, Journal of Derivatives 3 (1995) 73-84] backtest to test the power of our approaches. In addition, we investigate information spillover effects between the futures market and the spot market by employing a linear Granger causality test, and Granger causality tests in mean, volatility and risk respectively. Moreover, we also investigate the relationship between the futures market and the spot market by using a test based on a kernel function. Empirical results indicate that there exist significant two-way spillovers between the futures market and the spot market, and the spillovers from the futures market to the spot market are much more striking.     

B→K^＊у/Decay in Top-Quark Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

By employing the QCD factorization approach for the exclusive B→Vу decays, we study the exclusive decay B→K^＊у in the top-quark two-Higgs-doublet mode/（T2HDM）. Within the considered parameter space, we find the following conclusions （a） A hght charged-Higgs boson with a mass about 200 GeV is clearly excluded by the date of B→K^＊у decay, and this lower limit is comparable with that from the inclusive B→X8＊у decay; （b） The theoretical predictions for CP asymmetry of B→K^＊у in the T2HDM is always less than 1% in size; and （c） The isospin symmetry breaking for B→K^＊у decay in the SM and T2HDM considered here is around 6% in size and well consistent with the data and the general expectations.

Information filtering in evolving online networks

Recommender systems use the records of users' activities and profiles of both users and products to predict users' preferences in the future. Considerable works towards recommendation algorithms have been published to solve the problems such as accuracy, diversity, congestion, cold-start, novelty, coverage and so on. However, most of these research did not consider the temporal effects of the information included in the users' historical data. For example, the segmentation of the training set and test set was completely random, which was entirely different from the real scenario in recommender systems. More seriously, all the objects are treated as the same, regardless of the new, the popular or obsoleted products, so do the users. These data processing methods always lose useful information and mislead the understanding of the system's state. In this paper, we detailed analyzed the difference of the network structure between the traditional random division method and the temporal division method on two benchmark data sets, Netflix and MovieLens. Then three classical recommendation algorithms, Global Ranking method, Collaborative Filtering and Mass Diffusion method, were employed. The results show that all these algorithms became worse in all four key indicators, ranking score, precision, popularity and diversity, in the temporal scenario. Finally, we design a new recommendation algorithm based on both users' and objects' first appearance time in the system. Experimental results showed that the new algorithm can greatly improve the accuracy and other metrics.     

A statistical dynamics approach to the study of human health data: Resolving population scale diurnal variation in laboratory data

Statistical physics and information theory is applied to the clinical chemistry measurements present in a patient database containing 2.5 million patients' data over a 20-year period. Despite the seemingly naive approach of aggregating all patients over all times (with respect to particular clinical chemistry measurements), both a diurnal signal in the decay of the time-delayed mutual information and the presence of two sub-populations with differing health are detected. This provides a proof in principle that the highly fragmented data in electronic health records has potential for being useful in defining disease and human phenotypes.     

指数修正高斯拟合寻峰算法处理FBG传感信号

光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)传感系统因其检测精度高、重复性好和适应性强等优点而被广泛应用于不同领域。由于FBG传感器为波长调制型传感器,因此对于外界参量的检测即为FBG中心波长的检测,而FBG中心波长值对应于FBG反射光谱的峰值。因此,系统解调的核心即为FBG反射光谱的峰值检测,而高精度的寻峰算法是系统解调的关键技术。现有的寻峰算法对FBG反射谱进行峰值检测时,都是以FBG反射谱为标准高斯型为前提的。但由于实际制作工艺及环境的影响,FBG反射光谱并不是标准高斯型光谱,而是非对称的高斯型光谱,其非对称特性往往会对寻峰精度有一定的影响。针对现有算法这一缺陷,提出了一种指数修正高斯(EMG)拟合寻峰算法。利用三次判定定位实现粗定位,同时剔除假峰和无效峰值;在此基础上以粗定位点为中心进行光谱重构,再利用积分判定峰值偏向;然后根据不同的峰值偏向以给定的指数修正函数进行相应的峰值修正。实验仿真结果表明：定温条件下或变温条件下,与直接寻峰算法、高斯拟合算法和文献中的算法相比,EMG算法的峰值检测误差最小,寻峰精度提高。考虑了FBG反射光谱非对称特性对寻峰的影响,从光谱自身特性的角度,既克服了传统寻峰算法的局限性,又保证了高精度的寻峰效果。     

Impact parameter and beam energy dependence for azimuthal asymmetry of direct photons and free protons in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions

Hard photon emitted from energetic heavy ion collisions is of very interesting since it does not experience the late-stage nuclear interaction, therefore it is useful to explore the early-stage information of matter phase. In this work, we have calculated the impact parameter and beam energy dependence for azimuthal asymmetry, characterized by directed transverse flow parameter F and elliptic asymmetry coefficient v₂, of direct photons and the corresponding free protons in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions. It is further shown the anti-correlated azimuthal asymmetry between direct photons and free protons.
