Aging dynamics of Edwards-Anderson spin glasses

We analyze by means of extensive computer simulations the out of equilibrium dynamics of Edwards-Anderson spin glasses in d = 4 and d = 6 dimensions with ± J interactions. In particular, we focus our analysis on the scaling properties of the two-time autocorrelation function in a wide range of temperatures from T = 0.07 T _c to T = 0.75 T _c in both systems. In both the 4 d and 6 d models at very low temperatures we study the effects of discretization of energy levels. Strong sub-aging behaviors are found. We argue that this is because in the times accessible to our simulations the systems are only able to probe activated dynamics through the lowest discrete energy levels and remain trapped around nearly flat regions of the energy landscape. For temperatures T ≥ 0.5 T _c in 4 d and 6 d we find logarithmic scalings that are compatible with simple dynamical ultrametricity. Nevertheless the behaviour of the systems, even in 6 d is very different from the mean field SK model results.

Shift-tolerance Property of Optical Security System using Phase-based Virtual Image

The shift-tolerance property of the encrypted image or the Fourier decrypting key in the Fourier space is proposed based on a phase-encoded virtual image. The encrypted data is obtained by the Fourier transform of the product of a phase-encoded virtual image to camouflage the original one and a random phase image. Therefore, even if unauthorized users analyze the encrypted image, they cannot reconstruct the required image. This virtual image protects the original one from being counterfeited and from unauthorized access. We demonstrate the robustness to data loss and shift of the encrypted data or the Fourier decrypting key in the proposed decryption technique using an interferometer.     

Measuring a colloidal particle's interaction with a flat surface under nonequilibrium conditions

A new and general approach is proposed to analyze the dynamics of a colloidal particle interacting with a nearby wall. This analysis can be used to determine the acting forces even when the system is non-stationary. As an illustration, we use total internal reflection microscopy to investigate the forces acting on a polystyrene sulfate latex particle as it is receding from a charged glass surface.

Fitting models to correlated data III: A comparison between residual analysis and other methods

Applications of the χ² test, the F test, the Durbin-Watson d test, and the f (or Sign) test, to examples of correlated data treatment, show important drawbacks with the d test and (apparently) with the f test. An analytical approach based on residual analysis suggests an improvement in their use that leads to better results at lowest order; it also points out a distinction between goodness-of-fit tests, as the f test, and goodness-of-modeling tests, as the χ² and F tests. The residual analysis method is applied to the same examples; it looks faster, simpler, and often more accurate than the classical ones.     

模拟蚂蚁觅食行为的乳腺钙化点边缘提取

针对计算机辅助乳腺癌诊断中钙化点的提取具有较大难度的问题,计算了乳腺数字图像中每个像素点的最大梯度值。首先按照等梯度合并的原则将像素点划分为像素组,按照等分整个梯度区间的原则给定初始梯度聚类中心,模拟蚁群觅食行为中学习机制,以概率选择的方式进行像素点组的聚类得到新的聚类中心,然后再以模糊C均值法(FCM)对得到的聚类进行优化,从而提取出属于钙化点边缘的像素点。实验证明,通过选择适当的参数,用此方法提取乳腺钙化点边缘的效果良好。     

基于多级微反射镜的傅里叶变换红外光谱仪中准直误差的分析

通过对基于多级微反射镜的空间调制傅里叶变换红外光谱仪准直误差的分析,模拟了准直误差的存在而导致的干涉图大光程差处对比度反转和光谱图边频噪声的产生。讨论了在不同的误差系数下复原光谱图的信噪比和分辨率,并且分析了干涉图大光程差处对比反转以及光谱图边频分量的产生原因。仿真结果表明,在误差系数α=0.15°.mm-1时,光谱的信噪比会下降到6 dB,同时光谱分辨率会退化到13.4cm-1。本文的结论将应用于微型光谱仪系统的光学设计与装调。

Effects of gordon-haus jitter on soliton transmission

The bit error rate (BER) performance of an optical soliton communication system is analyzed. Based on the jitter variance equation and the chi-square distribution for the amplified spontaneous emission noise, an analytic expression for the BER calculation is obtained. We have investigated the effects of Gordon-Haus jitter, which is due to the random phase shift of the soliton individual central wavelength induced by the amplified spontaneous emission noise of the amplifiers. Very good agreement has been obtained between our theory and the reported experimental results.
