The weak pigeonhole principle for function classes in S 12

It is well known that S ¹₂ cannot prove the injective weak pigeonhole principle for polynomial time functions unless RSA is insecure. In this note we investigate the provability of the surjective (dual) weak pigeonhole principle in S ¹₂ for provably weaker function classes. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Large families of mutually embeddable vertex‐transitive graphs

For each infinite cardinal κ, we give examples of 2^κ many non‐isomorphic vertex‐transitive graphs of order κ that are pairwise isomorphic to induced subgraphs of each other. We consider examples of graphs with these properties that are also universal, in the sense that they embed all graphs with smaller orders as induced subgraphs. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Testable Theory for the Emergence of the Classical World

The transition from the quantum to the classical world is not yet understood. Here, we take a new approach. Central to this is the understanding that measurement and actualization cannot occur except on some specific basis. However, we have no established theory for the emergence of a specific basis. Our framework entails the following: (i) Sets of N entangled quantum variables can mutually actualize one another. (ii) Such actualization must occur in only one of the 2^N possible bases. (iii) Mutual actualization progressively breaks symmetry among the 2^N bases. (iv) An emerging “amplitude” for any basis can be amplified by further measurements in that basis, and it can decay between measurements. (v) The emergence of any basis is driven by mutual measurements among the N variables and decoherence with the environment. Quantum Zeno interactions among the N variables mediates the mutual measurements. (vi) As the number of variables, N, increases, the number of Quantum Zeno mediated measurements among the N variables increases. We note that decoherence alone does not yield a specific basis. (vii) Quantum ordered, quantum critical, and quantum chaotic peptides that decohere at nanosecond versus femtosecond time scales can be used as test objects. (viii) By varying the number of amino acids, N, and the use of quantum ordered, critical, or chaotic peptides, the ratio of decoherence to Quantum Zeno effects can be tuned. This enables new means to probe the emergence of one among a set of initially entangled bases via weak measurements after preparing the system in a mixed basis condition. (ix) Use of the three stable isotopes of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen and the five stable isotopes of sulfur allows any ten atoms in the test protein to be discriminably labeled and the basis of emergence for those labeled atoms can be detected by weak measurements. We present an initial mathematical framework for this theory, and we propose experiments.     

Determination of ß-Diketones by Oscillometric Titration

Abstract

An oscillometric titration technique has been applied to the determination of ß-diketones. Typical accuracies of about ± 1.5% were obtained for the compounds studied. The technique is rapid and simple, and should be suitable to the serial analyses of many compounds of pharmaceutical interest.

太赫兹微弱信号检测系统噪声处理方法研究

为了能够量化物体太赫兹辐射的大小,对黑体辐射中的太赫兹信号进行测量,使测量系统处于真空状态下,并且使用液氮制冷来屏蔽外界杂散辐射。黑体辐射的太赫兹信号由卡塞格林系统聚焦于探测器上。探测器的输出信号用锁相放大器进一步处理,并观察不同时间常数下锁相放大器的输出信号。实验结果表明:当黑体温度为323 k时,实验装置使用液氮制冷前后的测量结果有所不同,前后相差约3 v左右。时间常数对输出结果影响也很大,实验使用3 s比较合适。由于噪声来源复杂、噪声水平很高,黑体在太赫兹波段辐射能量极为微弱,所以系统对温度分辨率要求不是很高。

Resonance modes in optical fibres

The weakly nonlinear boundary value problem of wave propagation in an optical fibere(for the transverse electric mode,for example)is formulated and a modified linear solution is obained.It is shown that a self-consistent theory of fibre optics should be weakly nonlinear,The mode of critical refraction that does not exist in the linear theory is obtained,showing that it is a mode consisting of resonance modes,It is shown that the signal carriers in a long fibre are of resonance modes,not normal modes,Some experimental data are given for comparison with the theoretical predictions and the agreement seems satisfactory.     

Thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture of BTZ black holes in extended phase space

As a charged fermion drops into a BTZ black hole, the laws of thermodynamics and the weak cosmic censorship conjecture are investigated in both the normal and extended phase space, where the cosmological parameter and renormalization length are regarded as extensive quantities. In the normal phase space, the first and second law of thermodynamics, and the weak cosmic censorship are found to be valid. In the extended phase space, although the first law and weak cosmic censorship conjecture remain valid, the second law is dependent on the variation of the renormalization energy d K. Moreover, in the extended phase space, the configurations of extremal and near-extremal black holes are not changed, as they are stable, while in the normal phase space, the extremal and near-extremal black holes evolve into non-extremal black holes.
