More interestingly,a nonlocal optical nonlinearity emerges between two spatially separated ensembles, as the probe transmissivity and probe correlation at the exit of one Rydberg ensemble can be manipulated by the probe field at the input of the other Rydberg ensemble. Realizing correlated Rydberg EITs holds great potential for applications in quantum control, quantum network,quantum walk and so on.展开更多

This paper examines the operationalization of the CBDRRC principle in one of the cornerstone rules of the regimedits transparency provisions, both in existing practice under the convention and possible evolvement in negotiations under the Paris Agreement, from the perspectives of both international rule-making and domestic implementation. The authors have found a continuous enhancement of the transparency framework since the 1990s, and gradual consolidation of a bifurcated system between developed and developing countries into a common one. The authors argue that the transparency framework, as part of the procedural rules, should be designed to facilitate transparent information sharing in accordance with substantive commitments under international climate change laws. Thus, it indirectly reflects historical responsibilities for climate change, while the framework should also be designed as feasible and reflective of the respective capabilities of nations. Finally, the evolution of the transparency framework will aim to enact common and enhanced provisions while differentiating between developed and developing countries in the near term, and greater transparency-related capacity-building for developing countries.展开更多

文摘Coal mining induces changes in the nature of rock and soil bodies,as well as hydrogeological conditions,which can easily trigger the occurrence of geological disasters such as water inrush,movement of the coal seam roof and floor,and rock burst.Transparency in coal mine geological conditions provides technical support for intelligent coal mining and geological disaster prevention.In this sense,it is of great significance to address the requirements for informatizing coal mine geological conditions,dynamically adjust sensing parameters,and accurately identify disaster characteristics so as to prevent and control coal mine geological disasters.This paper examines the various action fields associated with geological disasters in mining faces and scrutinizes the types and sensing parameters of geological disasters resulting from coal seam mining.On this basis,it summarizes a distributed fiber-optic sensing technology framework for transparent geology in coal mines.Combined with the multi-field monitoring characteristics of the strain field,the temperature field,and the vibration field of distributed optical fiber sensing technology,parameters such as the strain increment ratio,the aquifer temperature gradient,and the acoustic wave amplitude are extracted as eigenvalues for identifying rock breaking,aquifer water level,and water cut range,and a multi-field sensing method is established for identifying the characteristics of mining-induced rock mass disasters.The development direction of transparent geology based on optical fiber sensing technology is proposed in terms of the aspects of sensing optical fiber structure for large deformation monitoring,identification accuracy of optical fiber acoustic signals,multi-parameter monitoring,and early warning methods.
文摘In the burgeoning field of light-matter interactions,angular momentum has emerged as a pivotal factor,driving innovative research directions.This study delves into the interaction dynamics between vortex lights and an electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT)medium,with a primary focus on elucidating the underlying mechanism of angular momentum transfer.Through comprehensive theoretical analysis and numerical simulations,it is demonstrated that when the probe field carries orbital angular momentum(OAM),the dispersion and absorption characteristics of the EIT medium undergo periodic modulation.This modulation is intricately determined by the azimuthal phase and topological charge of the beam.Notably,the OAM in the driving field exerts no such influence on the medium’s properties.Leveraging vortex phase plates(VPPs)or spatial light modulators(SLMs)to manipulate the tunable OAM enables dynamic control over the EIT effect.This breakthrough not only deepens our understanding of light-matter interactions at the quantum level but also unlocks new avenues for high-dimensional quantum information processing and advanced optical communication technologies.

文摘In this study,we proposed a bifunctional sensor of high sensitivity and slow light based on monolayer Mo S/TOPAS2structure in the terahertz range.The proposed metamaterial is formed by a structured unit matrix that combines square and cross shapes made of MoS2and TOPAS.The plasmon-induced transparency(PIT)spectra appeared under the excitation of a transverse magnetic(TM)-polarization wave,the proposed PIT effect is originated from the near-field coupling of two bright modes.The Lorentzian mode theory spectrum describes the destructive interference between the two bright modes,and the fitted results are consistent with the FiniteDifference Time-Domain(FDTD)simulation results.Furthermore,the effect of geometrical sizes,like coupling distance,structure size,and intersection angle between square and cross shape on the PIT window is analyzed,along with the effects of carrier concentration in Mo S2.A figure of merit of-1.10 RIU1is obtained.The slow light performance of the proposed Mo S2-based metamaterial is investigated,a maximum time delay of 0.52 ps is obtained and the delay band width product(DBP)is 0.76.It is more efficient to store and transmit the information over signal channels.Therefore,the proposed Mo S2-based metamaterial can be used in electromagnetically induced transparency applications,such as sensors,optical memory devices,and flexible terahertz functional devices.

文摘Highly transparent,durable,and flexible liquid-repellent coatings are urgently needed in the realm of transparent materials,such as car windows,optical lenses,solar panels,and flexible screen materials.However,it has been difficult to strike a balance between the robustness and flexibility of coatings constructed by a single cross-linked network design.To overcome the conundrum,this innovative approach effectively combines two distinct cross-linked networks with unique functions,thus overcoming the challenge.Through a tightly interwoven structure comprised of added crosslinking sites,the coating achieves improved liquid repellency(WCA>100°,OSA<10°),increased durability(withstands 2,000 cycles of cotton wear),enhanced flexibility(endures 5,000 cycles of bending with a bending radius of 1 mm),and maintains high transparency(over 98%in the range of 410 nm to 760 nm).Additionally,the coating with remarkable adhesion can be applied to multiple substrates,enabling large-scale preparation and easy cycling coating,thus expanding its potential applications.The architecture of this fluoride-free dual cross-linked network not only advances liquid-repellent surfaces but also provides valuable insights for the development of eco-friendly materials in the future.

文摘In the regime of Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency, we study the correlated behaviors between the transmission spectra of a pair of probe fields passing through respective parallel one-dimensional cold Rydberg ensembles.Due to the van der Waals(vdW) interactions between Rydberg atoms, each ensemble exhibits a local optical nonlinearity,where the output EIT spectra are sensitive to both the input probe intensity and the photonic statistics. More interestingly,a nonlocal optical nonlinearity emerges between two spatially separated ensembles, as the probe transmissivity and probe correlation at the exit of one Rydberg ensemble can be manipulated by the probe field at the input of the other Rydberg ensemble. Realizing correlated Rydberg EITs holds great potential for applications in quantum control, quantum network,quantum walk and so on.

文摘Transparency is a widely used but poorly defined term within the explainable artificial intelligence literature.This is due,in part,to the lack of an agreed definition and the overlap between the connected—sometimes used synonymously—concepts of interpretability and explainability.We assert that transparency is the overarching concept,with the tenets of interpretability,explainability,and predictability subordinate.We draw on a portfolio of definitions for each of these distinct concepts to propose a human-swarm-teaming transparency and trust architecture(HST3-Architecture).The architecture reinforces transparency as a key contributor towards situation awareness,and consequently as an enabler for effective trustworthy human-swarm teaming(HST).

文摘Quantitative trait loci（QTL） for percentage of chalky grain,degree of chalkiness,and endosperm transparency were detected using 3 recombinant inbred line populations derived from crosses between parental lines of commercial three-line hybrids of indica rice.Two of the populations showed great variations on heading date,and the other had a short range of heading date variation.A total of 40 QTLs were detected and fell into 15 regions of 10 chromosomes,of which 5 regions were detected for 1 or more same traits over different populations,2 were detected for different traits in different populations,3 were detected for 2 or all the 3 traits in a single population,and 5 were detected for a single trait in a single population.Most of these QTLs have been reported previously,but a region located on the long arm of chromosome 10 showing significant effects in all the 3 populations has not been reported before.It was shown that a number of gene cloned,including the Wx and Alk for the physiochemical property of rice grain,and GW2,GS3 and GW5 for grain weight and grain size,could have played important roles for the genetic control of grain chalkiness in rice,but there are many more QTLs exerting stable effects for rice chalkiness over different genetic backgrounds.It is worth paying more attentions to these regions which harbor QTL such as the qPCG5.2/qDC5.2/qET5.2 and qPCG10/qDC10/qET10 detected in our study.Our results also showed that the use of segregating populations having high-uniform heading date could greatly increase the efficiency of the identification of QTL responsible for traits that are subjected to great environmental influence.
文摘“Common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities”(CBDRRC) is the most significant guiding principle in the international climate change regime, created by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992 and inherited by the Paris Agreement 24 years later. This paper examines the operationalization of the CBDRRC principle in one of the cornerstone rules of the regimedits transparency provisions, both in existing practice under the convention and possible evolvement in negotiations under the Paris Agreement, from the perspectives of both international rule-making and domestic implementation. The authors have found a continuous enhancement of the transparency framework since the 1990s, and gradual consolidation of a bifurcated system between developed and developing countries into a common one. The authors argue that the transparency framework, as part of the procedural rules, should be designed to facilitate transparent information sharing in accordance with substantive commitments under international climate change laws. Thus, it indirectly reflects historical responsibilities for climate change, while the framework should also be designed as feasible and reflective of the respective capabilities of nations. Finally, the evolution of the transparency framework will aim to enact common and enhanced provisions while differentiating between developed and developing countries in the near term, and greater transparency-related capacity-building for developing countries.

文摘Supply Chain Finance(SCF)refers to the financial service in which banks rely on core enterprises to manage the capital flow and logistics of upstream and downstream enterprises.SCF adopts a self-testing and closed-loop credit model to control funds and risks.The key factor in a successful SCF service is the deployment of SCF businessoriented information systems that allow businesses to form partnerships efficiently and expedite cash flows throughout the supply chain.Blockchain Technology(BCT),featuring decentralization,tamper-proofing,traceability,which is usually paired with the Internet of Things(IoT)in real-world contexts,has been widely adopted in the field of finance and is perfectly positioned to facilitate innovative collaborations among participants in supply chain networks.In this paper,we propose a BCT and IoT-based information management framework(named BC4Regu),which works as the regulatory to improve the information transparency in the business process of SCF.With BC4Regu,the operation cost of the whole supply chain can be significantly reduced through the coordination and integration of capital flow,information flow,logistics and trade flow in the supply chain.The contributions in this paper include:(1)proposing a novel information management framework which leverages Blockchain and IoT to solve the problem of information asymmetry in the trade of SCF;(2)proposing the technical design of BC4Regu,including the Blockchain infrastructure,distributed ledger-based integrated data flow service,and reshaped SCF process;and(3)applying BC4Regu to a group of scenarios and conducting theoretical analysis by introducing the principal-agent model to validate the BC4Regu.
