The effects of anisotropic parameter γ and external magnetic field λon OTOCs are studied in detail within thermodynamical limits. The universal form which characterizes the wavefront of information spreading still holds in the XY model. The butterfly speed vBdepends on(γ, λ). At a fixed location, the early-time evolution behavior of OTOCs agrees with the results of the Hausdorff–Baker–Campbell expansion. For long-time evolution,OTOCs with local operators decay as for power law t^-1, but those with nonlocal operators show different and nontrivial power law behaviors. We also observe temperature dependence for OTOCs when(γ=0, λ=1). At low temperature, the OTOCs with nonlocal operators show divergence over time.展开更多

We make a detailed discussion on f B from two sum rules up to next-to- leading order, i.e. sum rules I and II, which are derived from the conventional correlator and the correlator with chiral currents respectively. It is found that these two sum rules are consistent with each other. The sum rules H involves less non-perturbative condensates as that of sum rules I, and in principle, it can be more accurate if we know the dimensionfour gluon condensate well. It is found that fB decreases with the increment of mb, and to compare with the Belle experimental data on fB, both sum rules I and H prefer smaller pole b-quark mass, mb= 4.68 ± 0.07 GeV. By varying all the input parameters within their reasonable regions and by adding all the uncertainties in quadrature, we obtain fB=172-25^＋23 MeV for sum rules I and fB =214-34^26 MeV for sum rules П.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Anxiety,depression,and other negative emotions are common among patients with chronic renal failure(CRF).Analyzing the factors related to negative emotions is necessary to provide targeted nursing care.AIM To explore the correlations among life satisfaction,pleasure levels,and negative emotions in patients with CRF.METHODS One hundred patients with CRF who received therapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University between December 2022 and February 2025 were included.The Depression,Anxiety,and Stress Scale(DASS-21),Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS),and Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale(TEPS)were used to evaluate negative emotions,life satisfaction,and pleasure level,respectively.Pearson’s correlation coefficient analyzed the correlation between life satisfaction,pleasure level,and negative emotions.Linear regression analysis identified the factors affecting negative emotions.RESULTS The average DASS-21 score among patients with CRF was 51.90±2.30,with subscale scores of 17.90±1.50 for depression,18.53±1.18 for anxiety,and 15.47±2.36 for stress,all significantly higher than the domestic norm(P<0.05).The average SWLS score was 22.17±4.90.Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between the SWLS and total DASS-21 scores(P<0.05),but not with the individual depression,anxiety,or stress dimensions.The average TEPS score was 67.80±8.34.TEPS scores were negatively correlated with the DASS-21 score and the stress dimension(P<0.05),but not with depression or anxiety.Linear regression analysis showed that TEPS scores significantly influenced DASS-21 scores(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Patients with CRF experience high levels of negative emotions,which are negatively correlated with life satisfaction and pleasure.Furthermore,pleasure level had an impact on negative emotions.

文摘This study investigates the genetic variability and environmental adaptability of Acacia hybrid clones across three distinct ecological regions,providing insights into growth characteristics and stem quality for future breeding strategies.42 natural hybrid clones were evaluated over a five-year period in three clonal trials in northern,central and southern Vietnam for height(HT),diameter at breast height(DBH),volume(VOL),trunk straightness(STR),branch size(BRA)and survival.Significant clonal differences were found in all traits across all three regions.From age 2-5,the clone repeatability(H_(C)^(2))for growth traits improved from 0.19 to 0.59,indicating substantial genetic control.Genotypic coefficients of variation(CVG)for volume ranged from 21%to 34%,suggesting significant potential for genetic improvement.Site-to-site genotypic correlations ranged from 0.53 to 0.78,pointing to the existence of genotype-environment interactions.Clones derived from Acacia mangium material demonstrated enhanced growth,while the hybrid clones exhibited superior stem quality,particularly in terms of straightness.The findings emphasize the importance of selecting clones that are adapted to specific environmental conditions,with both growth and quality traits considered in breeding programs.

文摘The Haoping 40 m radio telescope at the National Time Service Center,Chinese Academy of Sciences was built in 2014 and is primarily used to observe navigation satellites and pulsars.Since the first successful very long baseline interferometry(VLBI)observation of L-band radio source fringes in 2022,ten observations have been made so far.The stations involved in the observations include the Haoping 40 m radio telescope(Haoping),the Tianma 65 m radio telescope(Tianma),the Nanshan 26 m radio telescope(Urumqi),the Guizhou 500 m radio telescope(FAST),the Jilin 13 m radio telescope(Jilin),the Effelsberg 100 m radio telescope(Effelsberg),the Onsala 25 m radio telescope(Onsala),and the Chiang Mai 40 m radio telescope(Chiang Mai).This paper presents details on the specifications of the Haoping 40 m radio telescope,as well as the design of the VLBI experiment,the observation process,and the data processing.We also discuss the analysis of the fringe results involving the Haoping 40 m radio telescope,using Distributed FX Correlator to obtain excellent results.We confirm that the telescope is capable of participating in VLBI observations and performing specific data processing tasks.It can therefore play a greater role in future VLBI observations.

文摘The performance of data restore is one of the key indicators of user experience for backup storage systems.Compared to the traditional offline restore process,online restore reduces downtime during backup restoration,allowing users to operate on already restored files while other files are still being restored.This approach improves availability during restoration tasks but suffers from a critical limitation:inconsistencies between the access sequence and the restore sequence.In many cases,the file a user needs to access at a given moment may not yet be restored,resulting in significant delays and poor user experience.To this end,we present Histore,which builds on the user’s historical access sequence to schedule the restore sequence,in order to reduce users’access delayed time.Histore includes three restore approaches:(i)the frequency-based approach,which restores files based on historical file access frequencies and prioritizes ensuring the availability of frequently accessed files;(ii)the graph-based approach,which preferentially restores the frequently accessed files as well as their correlated files based on historical access patterns,and(iii)the trie-based approach,which restores particular files based on both users’real-time and historical access patterns to deduce and restore the files to be accessed in the near future.We implement a prototype of Histore and evaluate its performance from multiple perspectives.Trace-driven experiments on two datasets show that Histore significantly reduces users’delay time by 4-700×with only 1.0%-14.5%additional performance overhead.

文摘Objective:To investigate the related factors of motility after total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods:The convenience sampling method was used to include 213 patients receiving THA in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2023.They were divided into 2 groups according to the occurrence of kinesiophobia after THA.The demographic data of the 2 groups were analyzed by single-factor analysis.The factors with statistically significant differences were analyzed by binary logistic regression as independent variables.Finally,Spearman analysis was used to analyze the relationship between risk factors and the degree of kinesiophobia.Results:Among 213 THA patients,38 patients were diagnosed with kinetophobia,and the incidence of kinetophobia was 17.84%.visual analogue scale(VAS)and pain duration before operation were higher in patients with kinetophobia than in patients without kinetophobia.The scores of education level,self-efficacy,and social support were significantly lower than those of the non-phobia group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that VAS was a risk factor for kinetophobia after THA.Education level and self-efficacy were protective factors to reduce the occurrence of kinetophobia after THA(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the degree of pain(r=0.697,P<0.001)was positively correlated with the degree of kinetophobia,while the degree of education(r=-0.647,P<0.001)and self-efficacy(r=-0.756,P<0.001)were negatively correlated with the degree of kinetophobia.Conclusions:The degree of pain is a risk factor of kinesiophobia after THA,and it is positively correlated with the degree.Educational level and self-efficacy were protective factors to reduce the incidence of kinesiophobia and were negatively correlated with the degree of kinesiophobia.

文摘Schlieren imaging is a widely used technique to visualize the structure of supersonic flow field,which is usually dominated by shock waves.Precise identification of shock waves in schlieren image provides critical insights for flow diagnostics,especially for supersonic inlet whose performance is highly associated with that of the whole flight.However,conventional shock wave identification methods have limited accuracy in segmenting the shock wave.To overcome the limitation,we proposed an automated shock wave identification method(SW-Segment)that can attain high resolution and automatic shock wave segmentation by integrating correlation-based feature extraction with graph search.We demonstrated the efficacy of SW-Segment via the identification of shock waves in simulatively and experimentally obtained schlieren image.The results proved that SW-Segment showed a shock wave identification accuracy of 95.24%in the numerical schlieren image and an accuracy of 88.33%in the experimental image,clearly demonstrating its reliability.SW-Segment holds broad applicability for shock wave detection in diverse schlieren imaging scenarios,offering robust data support for flow field analysis and supersonic flight design.

文摘When two layers of graphene are stacked with a twist angle of approximately 1.1°,strong interlayer coupling gives rise to a pair of flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene(TBG),resulting in pronounced electron–electron interactions.At half filling of the flat bands,TBG exhibits correlated insulating states.Here,we investigate the electrical transport properties of heterostructures composed of TBG and the antiferromagnetic insulator chromium oxychloride(CrOCl),and propose a strategy to modulate the correlated insulating states in TBG.During the transition from a conventional phase to a strong interfacial coupling phase,kink-like features are observed in the charge neutrality point(CNP),correlated insulating state,and band insulating state.Under a perpendicular magnetic field,the system exhibits broadened quantum Hall plateaus in the strong interfacial coupling regime.Electrons localized in the CrOCl layer screen the bottom gate,rendering the carrier density in TBG less sensitive to variations in the bottom gate voltage.These phenomena are well captured by a charge-transfer model between TBG and CrOCl.Our results provide insights into the control of electronic correlations and topological states in graphene moirésystems via interfacial charge coupling.

文摘A CFD-based numerical model was employed to quantitatively analyze the flow characteristics of double-side-blown gas−liquid flow.Key parameters were extracted,and Spearman correlation analysis was used to quantify the relationships among bubble behavior,circulating flow,and liquid oscillations.The results show that periodic bubble behavior under steady injection drives the circulating flow of the liquid on both sides.The asynchronism of bubble behavior on both sides results in the alternation of circulating intensity,which significantly enhances gas−liquid mixing efficiency at certain liquid levels of 200 and 220 mm.Flow patterns of the double-side-blown process are classified into weak circulation,strong−weak alternating circulation,and strong circulation modes based on the influence of circulating flows on the penetration depth.The penetration depth in the strong−weak alternating circulation mode is generally greater than that in the single-side-blown process.The imbalance of circulating intensities on both sides primarily leads to the stable fluctuation in the injecting direction,which reveals the appearance of periodic oscillations in the molten bath.The effect of control parameters such as liquid level and gas flow rate on the liquid oscillations were discussed.

文摘The energy correlations of prompt fission neutrons have not yet been considered in the related coincidence and multiplication measurement techniques.To measure and verify the energy correlations,an experiment was performed with a total measurement duration of approximately 1200 h.In the experiment,eight CLYC detectors and sixteen EJ309 liquid scintillation detectors were utilized,and the fission moment was tagged with the measured fissionγ-rays.The relative ratios of the energy spectra of the neutrons correlated with different energy neutrons to the^(252)Cf fission neutron energy spectra were obtained.The present results may be helpful for studying fission physics and nuclear technology applications.

文摘The development of novel quantum many-body computational algorithms relies on robust benchmarking.However,generating such benchmarks is often hindered by the massive computational resources required for exact diagonalization or quantum Monte Carlo simulations,particularly at finite temperatures.In this work,we propose a new algorithm for obtaining thermal pure quantum states,which allows efficient computation of both mechanical and thermodynamic properties at finite temperatures.We implement this algorithm in our open-source C++template library,Physica.Combining the improved algorithm with state-of-the-art software engineering,our implementation achieves high performance and numerical stability.As an example,we demonstrate that for the 4×4 Hubbard model,our method runs approximately 10~3times faster than HΦ3.5.2.Moreover,the accessible temperature range is extended down toβ=32 across arbitrary doping levels.These advances significantly push forward the frontiers of benchmarking for quantum many-body systems.

文摘In multi-orbital systems,the correlation strength is typically attributed to Coulomb interactions and Hund's couplings.However,this study demonstrates that on-site inter-orbital hybridization can also significant influence the correlation strength of the system.We investigate the impact of on-site inter-orbital hybridization on the correlation strength of a two-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice using the dynamical mean-field theory combined with Lanczos exact diagonalization.Our findings reveal a distinct Janus effect:on-site inter-orbital hybridization enhances correlation strength in the non-half-filled regime while suppresses it at half-filling.This dual role of on-site inter-orbital hybridization provides a fundamental mechanism for tuning the strength of correlations in multi-orbital systems.
