Photodynamic Therapy for Cancer Cells Using a Flash Wave Light Xenon Lamp

We determined photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy using a flash wave (FW) and a continuous wave (CW) light, of which the fluence rate was 70 W/cm², for murine thymic lymphoma cells (EL-4) cultivated in vitro. The irradiation frequency and the pulse width of the FW light were in the range of 1–32 Hz and less than one millisecond, respectively. 5-Aminolevulinic acid-induced protoporphyrin IX (ALA-PpIX) was used as a photosensitizer. When EL-4 with ALA administration was irradiated by the light for 4 h (irradiation fluence: 1.0J/cm²), the survival rate of EL-4 by the FW light was lower than that by the CW light, except for the FW light with irradiation frequency of 32 Hz, and decreased gradually with decreasing irradiation frequency. Moreover, the FW light, especially at lower irradiation frequency, was superior to the CW light for the generation of singlet oxygen in an aqueous PpIX solution. Therefore, thehigher PDT efficacy for EL-4 of the FW light would be caused by the greater generation of singlet oxygen in the cells.     

An Example of Embedded Singular Continuous Spectrum for One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operators

We present a new example of a potential such that the corresponding Schrödinger operator in the halfaxis has singular continuous spectrum embedded in the absolutely continuous spectrum. The singular part is supported in an essentialy dense set. This generalizes a result of C. Remling [3].Mathematics Subject Classification: 34L40, 81Q10.     

Continuous‐scan capability at SSRL and applications to X‐ray diffraction

Typical X‐ray diffraction measurements are made by moving a detector to discrete positions in space and then measuring the signal at each stationary position. This step‐scanning method can be time‐consuming, and may induce vibrations in the measurement system when the motors are accelerated and decelerated at each position. Furthermore, diffraction information between the data points may be missed unless a fine step‐scanning is used, which further increases the total measurement time. To utilize beam time efficiently, the motor acceleration and deceleration time should be minimized, and the signal‐to‐noise ratio should be maximized. To accomplish this, an integrated continuous‐scan system was developed at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). The continuous‐scan system uses an in‐house integrated motor controller system and counter/timer electronics. SPEC software is used to control both the hardware and data acquisition systems. The time efficiency and repeatability of the continuous‐scan system were tested using X‐ray diffraction from a ZnO powder and compared with the step‐scan technique. Advantages and limitations of the continuous‐scan system and a demonstration of variable‐velocity continuous scan are discussed.     

Anomalous transport in fluid field with random waiting time depending on the preceding jump length

Anomalous (or non-Fickian) transport behaviors of particles have been widely observed in complex porous media. To capture the energy-dependent characteristics of non-Fickian transport of a particle in flow fields, in the present paper a generalized continuous time random walk model whose waiting time probability distribution depends on the preceding jump length is introduced, and the corresponding master equation in Fourier-Laplace space for the distribution of particles is derived. As examples, two generalized advection-dispersion equations for Gaussian distribution and lévy flight with the probability density function of waiting time being quadratic dependent on the preceding jump length are obtained by applying the derived master equation.

Application of Bipartite and Tripartite Entangled State Representations in Quantum Teleportation of Continuous Variables

We mostly investigate two schemes. One is to teleport a multi-mode W-type entangled coherent state using a peculiar bipartite entangled state as the quantum channel different from other proposals. Based on our formalism,teleporting multi-mode coherent state or squeezed state is also possible. Another is that the tripartite entangled state is used as the quantum channel of controlled teleportation of an arbitrary and unknown continuous variable in the case of three participators.     

An Interacting Gauge Field Theoretic Model for Hodge Theory: Basic Canonical Brackets

We derive the basic canonical brackets amongst the creation and annihilation operators for a two （1 ＋ 1）- dimensional （2D） gauge field theoretic model of an interacting Hodge theory where a U（1） gauge field （Aμ） is coupled with the fermionic Dirac fields （ψ and ψ）. In this derivation, we exploit the spin-statistics theorem, normal ordering and the strength of the underlying six infinitesimal continuous symmetries （and the concept of their generators） that are present in the theory. We do not use the definition of the canonical conjugate momenta （corresponding to the basic fields of the theory） anywhere in our whole discussion. Thus, we conjecture that our present approach provides an alternative to the canonical method of quantization for a class of gauge field theories that are physical examples of Hodge theory where the continuous symmetries （and corresponding generators） provide the physical realizations of the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry at the algebraic level.     

多频多色光谱角色散束匀滑新方案

典型的光谱角色散技术中,由于光束带宽受限于高效三倍频,因而无法通过增大带宽来进一步改善焦斑均匀性.结合对四色打靶方案和多级相位调制技术的综合分析,提出了多频、多色光谱角色散束匀滑新方案.该方案能在保持高效三倍频基础上,获得带宽有所加宽,光谱包络近似连续的光源,且在远场匀滑上具有更为独特的优势.结果表明,采用束匀滑新方案后,虽然焦斑会有所增大,但其均匀性却得到明显改善;与典型的束匀滑方案相比,该方案能更为有效地抑制热斑,且达到最佳匀滑效果所需的时间有所减短.此外,通过对阵列光栅中子光栅刻线方向的自由组合可以实现多维光谱角色散的效果.     

Deterministic Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Dense Coding and Continuous Variable Operations

We propose a deterministic quantum secure direct two check photon sequences are used to check the securities of the communication protocol by using dense coding. The channels between the message sender and the receiver. The continuous variable operations instead of the usual discrete unitary operations are performed on the travel photons so that the security of the present protocol can be enhanced. Therefore some specific attacks such as denial-of-service attack, intercept-measure-resend attack and invisible photon attack can be prevented in ideal quantum channel. In addition, the scheme is still secure in noise channel. Furthurmore, this protocol has the advantage of high capacity and can be realized in the experiment.
