In this work, we try to constrain the EoS of dark matter/JAdm using the currently available cosmic observations which include the geometrical and dynamical measurements. For the geometrical measurements, the luminosity distance of type Ia supernovae, the angular diameter distance and comoving sound horizon from baryon acoustic oscillations and the cosmic microwave background radiation will be employed. The data points from the redshift-space distortion and weak gravitational lensing will be taken as dynamical measurements. Using the Markov chain Monte Carlomethod, we obtain a very tight constraint on the-EoS of dark matter：wdm=0.0000532 ＋0.000692＋0.00136＋0.00183 -0.000686-0.00136-0.00177.展开更多

In this work, we investigate its constraints on the unified dark energy and dark matter models including the generalized Chaplygin gas and the superfluid Chaplygin gas. In addition, type Ia supernovae （SNIa） data and the distance ratios derived from the cosmic microwave background radiation and baryon acoustic oscillation observations （CMB/BAO） are also used. We find that the mock SL data gives the tightest constraints on the model parameters and it can help to reduce the parameter regions allowed by the present SNIa＋CMB/BAO by about 75% when all datasets considered are combined. Thus the SL test is a worthy and long awaited measurement to probe effectively the cosmic expanding history and the properties of dark energy.展开更多

Compared with conventional methods, this method can reduce a number of degrees of freedom and improve accuracy, provides a good model for analogous configurations.展开更多

This mechanism operates in narrow, roughly half-filled superconducting bands of special symmetry and is evidently responsible for the formation of Cooper pairs in all superconductors. Here we consider this new mechanism within an outer magnetic field. We show that in the magnetic field the constraining forces produce Cooper pairs of non-vanishing total momentum with the consequence that an electric current flows within the superconductor. This current satisfies the London equations and, consequently, leads to the Meissner effect. This theoretical result is confirmed by the experimental observation that all superconductors, whether conventional or unconventional, exhibit the Meissner effect.展开更多

The measured fission track apparent ages, combined with the simulated annealing mod- eling of the thermal history, have been used to reconstruct the thermal evolutionary histories of the samples and interpret the active history of the thrusts and faults in these areas. Thermal history mod- eling shows that earlier tectonic cooling occurred in the Garzê-Litang thrust in Miocene (~20―16 Ma) whereas the later cooling occurred mainly in the Longmen Shan thrust since ~5 Ma. Our study sug- gests that the margin of eastern Tibetan Plateau was extended by stages: through strike-slip faults deformations and related thrusts, the upper crust formed the Garzê-Litang margin in the Miocene epoch and then moved to the Longmen Shan margin since ~5 Ma. During this process, the deformations of different phases in the eastern Tibetan Plateau were absorbed by the thrusts within them and conse- quently the tectonic events of long-distance slip and extrusion up to hundreds of kilometers have not been found.展开更多

文摘The research,fabrication and development of piezoelectric nanofibrous materials offer effective solutions to the challenges related to energy consumption and non-renewable resources.However,enhancing their electrical output still remains a significant challenge.Here,a strategy of inducing constrained phase separation on single nanofibers via shear force was proposed.Employing electrospinning technology,a polyacrylonitrile/polyvinylidene difluoride(PAN/PVDF)nanofibrous membrane was fabricated in one step,which enabled simultaneous piezoelectric and triboelectric conversion within a single-layer membrane.Each nanofiber contained independent components of PAN and PVDF and exhibited a rough surface.The abundant frictional contact points formed between these heterogeneous components contributed to an enhanced endogenous triboelectric output,showcasing an excellent synergistic effect of piezoelectric and triboelectric response in the nanofibrous membrane.Additionally,the component mass ratio influenced the microstructure,piezoelectric conformation and piezoelectric performance of the PAN/PVDF nanofibrous membranes.Through comprehensive performance comparison,the optimal mass ratio of PAN to PVDF was determined to be 9∶1.The piezoelectric devices made of the optimal PAN/PVDF nanofibrous membranes with rough nanofiber surfaces generated an output voltage of 20 V,which was about 1.8 times that of the smooth one at the same component mass ratio.The strategy of constrained phase separation on the surface of individual nanofibers provides a new approach to enhance the output performance of single-layer piezoelectric nanofibrous materials.

文摘We investigate the quantum dynamics of the 1D spinless Fermi-Hubbard model with a linear-tilted potential.Surprisingly in a strong resonance regime,we show that the model can be described by the kinetically constrained effective Hamiltonian,and it can be spontaneously divided into two commuting parts dubbed Hamiltonian dimerization,which are composed of two distinct sets of constrained nearest-neighbor hopping terms:one set acting exclusively on odd bonds and the other on even bonds.Specifically it is shown that each part can be independently mapped onto the well-known PXP model;therefore the dimerized Hamiltonian is equivalent to a two-fold PXP model.As a consequence,we numerically demonstrate this system can host the so-called quantum many-body scars,which present dynamical revivals and ergodicity-breaking behaviors.However,in sharp contrast with traditional quantum many-body scars,here the scarring states in our model driven by different parts of the Hamiltonian will revive in different periods,and those of double parts can display a biperiodic revival pattern,both originating from the Hamiltonian dimerization.Besides,the condition of off-resonance is also discussed,and we show the crossover from quantum many-body scar to ergodicity breaking is diagnosed via level statistics.Our model provides a platform for understanding the interplay of Hilbert space fragmentation and the constrained quantum systems.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter addresses the formation control problem for constrained underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The feasibility condition of the virtual control law is eliminated by introducing a nonlinear state dependence function (NSDF) that transforms the state of each AUV in the formation.

文摘Constrained Friction Processing(CFP),a novel friction-based technique,has been developed to efficiently process fine-grained magnesium(Mg)rods,expanding the potential applications of biodegradable Mg alloys in medical implants.This study investigates the enhancement of mechanical properties through the implementation of multiple pass CFP(MP-CFP)in comparison to the conventional single pass CFP.The results reveal a substantial improvement in compressive yield strength(CYS),ultimate compressive strength,and failure plastic strain by 11%,28%,and 66%,respectively.A comprehensive analysis of material evolution during processing and the effects of the final microstructure on mechanical properties was conducted.The intricate material flow behavior during the final plunge stage of MP-CFP results in a reduced intensity of local basal texture and macrotexture.The diminished intensity of basal texture,combined with a low geometrical compatibility factor at the top of the rod after MP-CFP,effectively impedes slip transfer across grain boundaries.This leads to a local strain gradient along the compression direction,ultimately contributing to the observed enhancement in mechanical properties.The Mg-0.5Zn0.3Ca(wt.%)alloy,after texture modification by MP-CFP,exhibits a competitive CYS compared with other traditional methods,highlighting the promising application potential of MP-CFP.
文摘several months had passed since my trip to Xizang.The 21-day trip to Xizang may not seem long,but I had been looking forward to it for many years.I often told myself that my life should be different after I turned 60-freer and less constrained.So,I let go of everything,packed up,and hit the road to Xizang for 21 days.

文摘Geochemical survey data are essential across Earth Science disciplines but are often affected by noise,which can obscure important geological signals and compromise subsequent prediction and interpretation.Quantifying prediction uncertainty is hence crucial for robust geoscientific decision-making.This study proposes a novel deep learning framework,the Spatially Constrained Variational Autoencoder(SC-VAE),for denoising geochemical survey data with integrated uncertainty quantification.The SC-VAE incorporates spatial regularization,which enforces spatial coherence by modeling inter-sample relationships directly within the latent space.The performance of the SC-VAE was systematically evaluated against a standard Variational Autoencoder(VAE)using geochemical data from the gold polymetallic district in the northwestern part of Sichuan Province,China.Both models were optimized using Bayesian optimization,with objective functions specifically designed to maintain essential geostatistical characteristics.Evaluation metrics include variogram analysis,quantitative measures of spatial interpolation accuracy,visual assessment of denoised maps,and statistical analysis of data distributions,as well as decomposition of uncertainties.Results show that the SC-VAE achieves superior noise suppression and better preservation of spatial structure compared to the standard VAE,as demonstrated by a significant reduction in the variogram nugget effect and an increased partial sill.The SC-VAE produces denoised maps with clearer anomaly delineation and more regularized data distributions,effectively mitigating outliers and reducing kurtosis.Additionally,it delivers improved interpolation accuracy and spatially explicit uncertainty estimates,facilitating more reliable and interpretable assessments of prediction confidence.The SC-VAE framework thus provides a robust,geostatistically informed solution for enhancing the quality and interpretability of geochemical data,with broad applicability in mineral exploration,environmental geochemistry,and other Earth Science domains.

文摘Transfer-based Adversarial Attacks(TAAs)can deceive a victim model even without prior knowledge.This is achieved by leveraging the property of adversarial examples.That is,when generated from a surrogate model,they retain their features if applied to other models due to their good transferability.However,adversarial examples often exhibit overfitting,as they are tailored to exploit the particular architecture and feature representation of source models.Consequently,when attempting black-box transfer attacks on different target models,their effectiveness is decreased.To solve this problem,this study proposes an approach based on a Regularized Constrained Feature Layer(RCFL).The proposed method first uses regularization constraints to attenuate the initial examples of low-frequency components.Perturbations are then added to a pre-specified layer of the source model using the back-propagation technique,in order to modify the original adversarial examples.Afterward,a regularized loss function is used to enhance the black-box transferability between different target models.The proposed method is finally tested on the ImageNet,CIFAR-100,and Stanford Car datasets with various target models,The obtained results demonstrate that it achieves a significantly higher transfer-based adversarial attack success rate compared with baseline techniques.
