Starting from a generalized equation of state, we derive the coupled equations of relative atom-pair number and relative phase about superfluid Fermi gases in a double-well system and then classify the different oscillation behaviors by the tunneling strength and interactions between atoms. Tunneling and self-trapping behaviors are considered in the whole BCS-BEC crossover in the ease of a symmetric double-well potential. We show that the nonlinear interaction between atoms makes the self-trapping more easily realized in BCS regime than in the BEC regime and stability analysis is also given.展开更多

In this work, we investigate the dimensional crossover from quasi-two-dimensional(quasi-2D) to three-dimensional(3D) superconductivity in(Li,Fe)OHFeSe_(1-x)S_(x) single crystals driven by sulfur doping.Through detailed structural, electrical, and magnetic characterization, we identify a critical doping level(x = 0.53) where the system transitions from quasi-2D to 3D superconducting behavior. Reduced superconducting fluctuations and nonFermi liquid behavior near this critical point suggest the presence of competition between intralayer and interlayer pairing mechanisms. Fluctuation conductivity analysis reveals that the coherence length along the c-axis, ζ_(c)(0), and the interlayer coupling strength, Γ, increase significantly at x = 0.53, marking the onset of 3D superconductivity. These findings provide new insights into the role of dimensionality and interlayer coupling in modulating superconducting properties, positioning(Li,Fe)OHFeSe_(1-x)S_(x) as a unique platform for exploring crossover physics in iron-based superconductors.展开更多

The Arabidopsis PTD （Parting Dancers） gene affects the level of meiotic crossover formation, but its functional relationships with other core meiotic genes, such as AtSP011-1, AtRAD51, and AtMSH4, are unclear; whether PTD has other functions in meiosis is also unknown. To further analyze PTD function and to test for epistatic relationships, we compared the meiotic chromosome behaviors ofAtspoll-1 ptd and Atrad51 ptd double mutants with the relevant single mutants. The results suggest that PTD functions downstream of AtSP011-1 and AtRAD51 in the meiotic recombination pathway. Furthermore, we found that meiotic defects in rck pM and Atmsh4 ptd double mutants showed similar meiotic phenotypes to those of the relevant single mutants, providing genetic evidences for roles of PTD and RCK in the type I crossovers pathway. Moreover, we employed a pollen tetrad-based fluorescence method and found that the meiotic crossover frequencies in two genetic intervals were significantly reduced from 6.63% and 22.26% in wild-type to 1.14% and 6.36%, respectively, in the ptd^2 mutant. These results revealed new aspects of PTD function in meiotic crossover formation.展开更多

Based on a phenomenological equation of state, we derive hydrodynamic equations of the system in the whole BEC-BCS crossover regime. Beyond the Thomas-Fermi approximation, expressions of the frequency corrections of collective modes for both spherical and axial symmetric traps excited in the BEC-BCS crossover are given explicitly. The corrections of the eigenfrequencies due to the quantum pressure and their dependence on the inverse interaction strength, anisotropic parameter and particle numbers of the condensate are discussed in detail.展开更多

However, since the clinical phenomenon of crossover innervation at some degree from uninjured digital nerve to the in- jured side occurs after digital nerve injuries is sustained, one could argue that this concept might even result in the overestimation of the outcome of the digital nerve repair. With this knowledge in mind, this study aimed to present novel, pure, focused and valuable clinical data by comparing the outcomes of bilateral and unilateral digital nerve repair. A retrospective review of 28 fingers with unilateral or bilateral digital nerve repair using end-to-end technique in 19 patients within 2 years was performed. Weber＇s two-point discrimination, sharp/dull discrimination, warm/cold sensation and Visual Analog Scale scoring were measured at final 12-month follow ups in all patients. There was no significant difference in recovery of sensibility after unilateral and bilateral digital nerve repairs. Though there is crossover innervation microscopically, it is not important in the clinical evaluation period. According to clinical findings from this study, crossover innervations appear to be negligible in the estimation of outcomes of digital neurorrhaphy.展开更多

文摘Transducing thermal energy into mechanical movements via molecular reconfigurations offers a cutting-edge approach to thermal actuating materials,which could be applied to sensors,energy harvesting and storage devices[1].Thermal expansion is a pivotal aspect in solid state chemistry,intricately intertwined with various factors such as crystal structure,chemical composition,electronic configuration,microstructure,and defects.Most materials undergo isotropic and positive thermal expansion(PTE)because of the disharmonic vibrational amplitudes of their chemical bonds.Moreover,anisotropic thermal expansion(ATE)and negative thermal expansion(NTE)are fascinating physical attributes of solids,which can originate from electronic or magnetic mechanisms,as well as through a transverse phonon mechanism in insulating lattice solids.

文摘In eukaryotes, crossovers together with sister chromatid cohesion maintain physical association between homologous chromosomes, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis I and resulting in exchange of genetic information between homologues. The Arabidopsis PTD （Parting Dancers） gene affects the level of meiotic crossover formation, but its functional relationships with other core meiotic genes, such as AtSP011-1, AtRAD51, and AtMSH4, are unclear; whether PTD has other functions in meiosis is also unknown. To further analyze PTD function and to test for epistatic relationships, we compared the meiotic chromosome behaviors ofAtspoll-1 ptd and Atrad51 ptd double mutants with the relevant single mutants. The results suggest that PTD functions downstream of AtSP011-1 and AtRAD51 in the meiotic recombination pathway. Furthermore, we found that meiotic defects in rck pM and Atmsh4 ptd double mutants showed similar meiotic phenotypes to those of the relevant single mutants, providing genetic evidences for roles of PTD and RCK in the type I crossovers pathway. Moreover, we employed a pollen tetrad-based fluorescence method and found that the meiotic crossover frequencies in two genetic intervals were significantly reduced from 6.63% and 22.26% in wild-type to 1.14% and 6.36%, respectively, in the ptd^2 mutant. These results revealed new aspects of PTD function in meiotic crossover formation.

文摘Repairing DNA double-strand breaks(DSBs)with homologous chromosomes as templates is the hallmark of meiosis.The critical outcome of meiotic homologous recombination is crossovers,which ensure faithful chromosome segregation and promote genetic diversity of progenies.Crossover patterns are tightly controlled and exhibit three characteristics:obligatory crossover,crossover interference,and crossover homeostasis.Aberrant crossover patterns are the leading cause of infertility,miscarriage,and congenital disease.Crossover recombination occurs in the context of meiotic chromosomes,and it is tightly integrated with and regulated by meiotic chromosome structure both locally and globally.Meiotic chromosomes are organized in a loop-axis architecture.Diverse evidence shows that chromosome axis length determines crossover frequency.Interestingly,short chromosomes show different crossover patterns compared to long chromosomes.A high frequency of human embryos are aneuploid,primarily derived from female meiosis errors.Dramatically increased aneuploidy in older women is the well-known“maternal age effect.”However,a high frequency of aneuploidy also occurs in young women,derived from crossover maturation inefficiency in human females.In addition,frequency of human aneuploidy also shows other age-dependent alterations.Here,current advances in the understanding of these issues are reviewed,regulation of crossover patterns by meiotic chromosomes are discussed,and issues that remain to be investigated are suggested.

文摘Using quantum hydrodynamic approaches, we study the quantum pressure correction to the collective excitation spectrum of the interacting trapped superfluid Fermi gases in the BEC-BCS crossover. Based on a phenomenological equation of state, we derive hydrodynamic equations of the system in the whole BEC-BCS crossover regime. Beyond the Thomas-Fermi approximation, expressions of the frequency corrections of collective modes for both spherical and axial symmetric traps excited in the BEC-BCS crossover are given explicitly. The corrections of the eigenfrequencies due to the quantum pressure and their dependence on the inverse interaction strength, anisotropic parameter and particle numbers of the condensate are discussed in detail.

文摘An effective relativistic continuum massive Proca Lagrangian action is used to account for the Lorentzvector condensation effects on the equation of state of the strongly interacting fermions system.The interior quantumfluctuation effects are incorporated as an external field approximation indirectly through a fictive generalized ThomsonProblem counterterm background.The general analytical formulas for the d-dimensional thermodynamics are given nearthe unitary limit region,In the non-relativistic limit for d=3,the universal dimensionless coefficientε=4/9 andenergy gap △/ε_f=5/18 are reasonably consistent with the existing theoretical and experimental results.In the unitarylimit for d=2 and T=0,the universal coefficient can even approach the extreme occasion ξ=0 corresponding to theinfinite effective fermion mass m~*=∞,which can be mapped to the strongly coupled two-dimensional electrons and isquite similar to the three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensation of ideal boson gas.Instead,for d=1,the universalcoefficient ξ is negative,implying the non-existence of phase transition from superfluidity to normal state.The solutionsmanifest the quantum Ising universal class characteristic of the strongly coupled unitary fermions gas.
文摘Digital nerve injuries are the mostly detected nerve injury in the upper extremity. However, since the clinical phenomenon of crossover innervation at some degree from uninjured digital nerve to the in- jured side occurs after digital nerve injuries is sustained, one could argue that this concept might even result in the overestimation of the outcome of the digital nerve repair. With this knowledge in mind, this study aimed to present novel, pure, focused and valuable clinical data by comparing the outcomes of bilateral and unilateral digital nerve repair. A retrospective review of 28 fingers with unilateral or bilateral digital nerve repair using end-to-end technique in 19 patients within 2 years was performed. Weber＇s two-point discrimination, sharp/dull discrimination, warm/cold sensation and Visual Analog Scale scoring were measured at final 12-month follow ups in all patients. There was no significant difference in recovery of sensibility after unilateral and bilateral digital nerve repairs. Though there is crossover innervation microscopically, it is not important in the clinical evaluation period. According to clinical findings from this study, crossover innervations appear to be negligible in the estimation of outcomes of digital neurorrhaphy.

文摘The spin crossover（SCO） compound [Fe（bapbpy）（NCS）2],where bapbpy contains two fused N,N-bis（2-pyridyl）amines,has been studied by DFT/TD-DFT/BS-DFT methods.Several density functionals and basis sets were used in the calculation to obtain optimized geometries of the compound in the low-（LS） and high-spin（HS） states.The vibrational modes and IR spectra,spin splitting energies,excited states and UV/Vis absorption spectra were obtained.The structural parameters of the calculated isolated complex are in good agreement with the X-ray data.We investigate three dimers of [Fe（bapbpy）（NCS）2] complex for their magnetic properties.It has been found that the complex（1,3） has ferromagnetic character while the others are antiferromagnetic in nature by using a broken symmetry approach in the DFT framework（BS-DFT） with support from the coupling constant values（J） and spin density plots.
