Low Dimension Dynamics in the EPRB Experiment with Random Variable Analyzers

The Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen–Bohm (EPRB) experiment performed with random variable and spatially separated analyzers is a milestone test in the controversy between Objective Local Theories (OLT) and Quantum Mechanics (QM). Only a few OLT are still possible. Some of the surviving OLT (specifically, the so called non-ergodic theories) would be undetectable in the averaged statistical values, but they may leave their trace in the time dynamics. For, while QM predicts random processes, the OLT of this kind predict the existence of regularities that may be revealed as a low dimensional object in the phase space. We perform a numerical analysis of the time-resolved data recorded in that experiment to unveil any hypothetical low dimensional dynamics that may be present. We find no consistent indication of such dynamics except for one data file, the longest of all in the real time. The possible causes of these dynamics are discussed.      

Local Hidden Variables Underpinning of Entanglement and Teleportation

Entangled states whose Wigner functions are non-negative may be viewed as being accounted for by local hidden variables (LHV). Recently, there were studies of Bell’s inequality violation (BIQV) for such states in conjunction with the well known theorem of Bell that precludes BIQV for theories that have LHV underpinning. We extend these studies to teleportation which is also based on entanglement. We investigate if, to what extent, and under what conditions may teleportation be accounted for via LHV theory. Our study allows us to expose the role of various quantum requirements. These are, e.g., the uncertainty relation among non-commuting operators, and the no-cloning theorem which forces the complete elimination of the teleported state at its initial port.     

Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium for some Stochastic Models of Hamiltonian Origin

We consider a class of 1-D stochastic models that are realizations of Hamiltonian models of heat conduction and prove that in the infinite volume limit local thermodynamic equilibrium is attained with linear energy profile.

A new thermo‐responsive block copolymer with tunable upper critical solution temperature and lower critical solution temperature in the alcohol/water mixture

The multi‐thermo‐responsive block copolymer of poly[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate]‐block‐poly[N‐(4‐vinylbenzyl)‐N,N‐diethylamine] (PMEO₂MA‐b‐PVEA) displaying phase transition at both the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in the alcohol/water mixture is synthesized by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The poly[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate] (PMEO₂MA) block exhibits the UCST phase transition in alcohol and the LCST phase transition in water, while the poly[N‐(4‐vinylbenzyl)‐N,N‐diethylamine] (PVEA) block shows the UCST phase transition in isopropanol and the LCST phase transition in the alcohol/water mixture. Both the polymer molecular weight and the co‐solvent/nonsolvent exert great influence on the LCST or UCST of the block copolymer. By adjusting the solvent character including the water content and the temperature, the block copolymer undergoes multiphase transition at LCST or UCST, and various block copolymer morphologies including inverted micelles, core‐corona micelles, and corona‐collapsed micelles are prepared. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

���ڸ�ά���ݵĸ���Hotelling'sT-square ����

The paper is concerned with the two-sample mean testing problem in high-dimension settings. We propose a composite Hotelling's T-square test, establish its asymptotical normality and study its local power. The finite-sample priority of the proposed test over existing high-dimensional tests is shown by simulations and illustrated by a real data-set analysis.     

Remarkably stable amphiphilic random copolymer assemblies: A structure–property relationship study

Synthesis of a library of amphiphilic random copolymers from a single reactive pre‐polymer and their self‐assembly is reported. Post‐polymerization modifications of the parent polymer containing pendant N‐hydroxy succinimide (NHS) ester groups with various oligooxyethylene (OE) amines produce amphiphilic random copolymers with same degree of polymerization and equal extent of randomness. ¹H‐NMR and FT‐IR data indicate quantitative substitution in all cases. The critical aggregation concentration (CAC) for all the polymers is estimated to be in the range of 10^?5 M. Stability of these nano‐aggregates is studied by photoluminescence using time dependent F—rster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between co‐encapsulated lipophilic dyes namely DiO and DiI in the hydrophobic pocket of the aggregates. These studies suggest remarkably high stability for all systems. However those with shorter hydrophilic pendant chains are found to be even more robust. Morphology is examined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) which reveals multi‐micellar clusters and vesicles for polymers containing short and longer OE segments, respectively. Encapsulation efficacy is tested with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic guest molecules. All of them can encapsulate hydrophobic guest pyrene while a hydrophilic dye Calcein can be sequestered only in vesicle forming polymers. Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) is exhibited by only one polymer that contains the shortest OE chains. All polymers exhibit excellent cell viability as determined by MTT assay. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2013 , 51, 4932–4943     

A facile pathway for the fast synthesis of colloidal crystal‐loaded hydrogels via frontal polymerization

In this work, a dually sensitive colloidal crystal (CC)‐loaded hydrogel has been synthesized via frontal polymerization (FP) in a facile and rapid way. First, a polystyrene CC film was fabricated by vertical deposition on the inner wall of a test tube. Then, a mixture of acrylic acid (AAc), 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and glycerol along with the initiator and crosslinker was added to this test tube to carry out FP, resulting in the formation of CC‐loaded hydrogel. The influence of the mass ratios of HEMA/AAc on front velocity and temperatures were studied. The swelling behavior, the morphology, and the stimuli‐responsive behavior of the CC‐loaded hydrogels prepared via FP were thoroughly investigated on the basis of swelling measurement, scanning electron microscopy, and reflection spectra. Results show that the as‐prepared CC‐loaded hydrogels exhibit excellent dual sensitivity to both methanol concentrations and pH values with very short response time, which can be observed visually without the aid of instruments. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal and pH responsive high molecular weight poly(urethane‐amine) with high urethane content

Aliphatic poly(urethane‐amine) (PUA) was synthesized from copolymerization of CO₂ and 2‐methylaziridine (MAZ) using Y(CCl₃COO)₃‐ZnEt₂‐glycerine coordination catalyst, the urethane content of PUA was over 80%, and its yield could reach 90%. PUA with molecular weight as high as 31.0 kg/mol was obtained when the copolymerization reaction was carried out in N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc), mainly due to the good solubility of PUA in DMAc. PUA exhibited reversible thermo‐responsive property in deionized water, and the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) was highly sensitive to its urethane content and molecular weight, which was observed in a broad window from 37 to 90 °C. Furthermore, the phase transition behavior could also be controlled by change of pH value. When the pH value of the PUA aqueous solution changed from 9.2 to 13, the LCST value of the solution decreased from 48.4 °C to 30 °C. Therefore, the PUA showed thermo‐ and pH‐ dual responsive performance in water. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2011
