Resolving Electron Mass Inconsistency Using Negative Mass

In a previous publication, the author discussed the electron mass and charge inconsistencies resulting from classical models. A model was proposed using classical equations and two opposite charges to resolve the charge inconsistency. The model proposed in that article is modified herein using classical equations to define a model that also resolves the mass inconsistency. The positive mass of the outer shell of the electron core is replaced with a negative mass. The small negatively-charged core at the center still has positive mass.

Ion Product of Pure Water Characterized by Physics-Based Water Model

Pure water has been characterized for nearly a century, by its dissociation into hydronium （H3O）1＋ and hydroxide （HO）1- ions. As a chemical equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium constant, known as the ion product or the product of the equilibrium concentration of the two ion species, has been extensively measured by chemists over the liquid water temperature and pressure range. The experimental data have been nonlinear least-squares fitted to chemical thermodynamic-based equilibrium equations, which have been accepted as the industrial standard for 35 years. In this study, a new and statistical-physics-based water ion product equation is presented, in which, the ions are the positively charged protons and the negatively charged proton-holes or prohols. Nonlinear least squares fits of our equation to the experimental data in the 0-100℃ pure liquid water range, give a factor of two better precision than the 35-year industrial standard.

Effects of acute aerobic exercise on response preparation in a Go/No Go Task in children with ADHD:An ERP study

Purpose： The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of acute exercise on reaction time and response preparation during a Go/No Go Task in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD）. Methods： Nineteen children with ADHD （aged between 8 and 12 years old） undertook a 30-min intervention that consisted of treadmill running or video-watching presented in a counterbalanced order on different days. A Go/No Go Task was administrated after exercise or video-watching. Results： The results indicated a shorter reaction time and smaller contingent negative variation （CNV） 2 amplitude following exercise relative to the video-watching. For event related potential （ERP） analyses, greater CNV l and CNV 2 amplitudes in response to No Go stimuli in com- parison to Go stimuli was observed in the video-watching session only. Conclusion： These findings suggest that acute exercise may benefit children with ADHD by developing appropriate response preparation, particularly in maintaining a stable motor preparatory set prior to performing the given task.

Stopband Phenomena in the Passband of Left-Handed Metamaterials

Stopband phenomena are reported in the passband of left-handed metamaterials. The samples with linear defect are designed by removing one layer of split ring resonators （SRRs）. It is shown that the left-handed transmission peaks have a distinct transform with the relative deviation of the SRRs centre from the wire centre 8, from a single left-handed peak, double left-handed peaks with different magnitude to no transmission peak, i.e. left-handed properties of metamaterials disappear. Numerical simulation shows that the change of 8 makes the effective permeability shift at a frequency range, where stopband occurs. It is thought that the stopband in left-handed passband is due to the symmetry breaking between SRRs and wires in the metamaterials.

Above-threshold detachment of negative ions by circularly polarized few-cycle laser fields

In accordance with nonperturbative quantum scattering theory, we investigate photoelectron angular distri- butions （PADs） from above-threshold detachment （ATD） of negative ions irradiated by circularly polarized few-cycle laser fields. Electrons ejected on the polarization plane demonstrate distinct anisotropies in an- gular distributions which distinctly vary with the carrier-envelope （CE） phase. The anisotropy is caused by interference between transition channels; it also depends strongly on laser frequency, pulse duration, and kinetic energy of photoelectrons. Optimal emission of photoelectrons, which varies with CE phase, makes it possible to control photoelectron motion.

Useful and Unique Descriptions of Tropospheric Processes Which Produce Oxygen and Thereafter Give Birth to Equatorial Electro-Jets

Formation of negative static charges (e-) throughout troposphere is a natural phenomenon revealed by some weather events such as storms and lightning flashes that accompany thunderclouds. This climatic phenomenon (formation of negative charge in that case) has long been considered as physical phenomena of very small space-time scales. Now we have good reasons to say that this perception of troposphere electrical status is totally meaningless. Indeed, it is now easy to show that significant numbers of electrons are provided to troposphere at each appearance of a thunderstorm (or a lightning flash). Thereafter, movement implemented in the troposphere by winds (e.g., West African aerojet) contributes to the formation of low altitudes Electrojets (e.g., West African Equatorial Aerojet gives birth to West African Equatorial Electrojet). The existence of Low Layers Equatorial Electrojets (LL-EEJ) was totally unknown by the first theorists who have studied the Earth’s Ionosphere Plasma Physics and Electrodynamics. This mistake has led their followers to many questions unanswered in their attempt to explain the longitudinal and seasonal variations of observed EEJ. In this paper, we will provide many useful explanations on the manner in which clouds provide oxygen to troposphere and thereafter trigger negative static charges (e-) throughout both troposphere and ionosphere. Indeed, this paper also explains how, opportunely, the ITF (inter tropical front) plays the role of the tap which facilitates oxygen transfer from troposphere to ionosphere. Detailed studies on the Earth’s troposphere plasma physics and electrodynamics are impatiently awaited.

Thermal expansion anomaly and spontaneous magnetostriction of Tb_2Fe_(15)Cr_2 compound

The structural and magnetic properties of Tb2Fe15CF2 compound were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. Tb2Fe15Cr2 compound has a hexagonal Th2Ni17-type structure. Negative thermal expansion was found in Tb2Fe15Cr2 compound from 372 to 452 K by X-ray dilatometry. The coefficient of the average thermal expansion is α^- =-3.14×10^-5 K^-1. The magnetostrictive deformations from 292 to 450 K were calculated. The result showed that the spontaneous volume magnetostrictive deformation ms remains nearly constant with increasing temperature up to 360 K, but decreases with the further increase of temperature. The spontaneous linear magnetostrictive deformation λc along the c axis decreases with increasing temperature. The spontaneous linear magnetostrictive deformation, λa, in the basal-plane increases with increasing temperature up to 360 K, but decreases with further increasing temperature.

Spontaneous volume magnetostriction of Dy_2AlFe_(12)Mn_4 compound

The structure and magnetic properties of Dy2AlFe12Mn4 compound have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. The Dy2AlFe12Mn4 compound has a hexagonal Th2Ni17-type structure. Negative thermal expansion was found in Dy2AlFe12Mn4 compound from 229 to 280 K by X-ray dilatometry. The coefficient of the average thermal expansion is α^- =-3.8×10^-5 K^-1. The magnetostrictive deformations from 105 to 270 K have been calculated by means of the differences between the experimental values of the lattice parameters and the corresponding values extrapolated from the paramagnetic range. The result shows that the spontaneous volume magnetostrictive deformation ωs decreases from 6.2 × 10^-3 to near zero with the temperature increasing from 105 to 270 K, the spontaneous linear magnetostrictive deformation λc along the c axis is much larger than the spontaneous linear magnetostrictive deformation λa in basal-plane at the same temperature except close to 249 K.

Quantum Gravity and Dark Energy Using Fractal Planck Scaling

Following an inspiring idea due to D. Gross, we arrive at a topological Planck energy Ep and a corresponding topological Planck length effectively scaling the Planck scale from esoterically large and equally esoterically small numbers to a manageably where P(H) is the famous Hardy’s probability for quantum entanglement which amounts to almost 9 percent and Based on these results, we conclude the equivalence of Einstein-Rosen “wormhole” bridges and Einstein’s Podolsky-Rosen’s spooky action at a distance. In turn these results are shown to be consistent with distinguishing two energy components which results in , namely the quantum zero set particle component which we can measure and the quantum empty set wave component which we cannot measure , i.e. the missing dark energy. Together the two components add to where E is the total energy, m is the mass and c is the speed of light. In other words, the present new derivation of the world’s most celebrated formula explains in one stroke the two most puzzling problems of quantum physics and relativistic cosmology, namely the physicomathematical meaning of the wave function and the nature of dark energy. In essence they are one and the same when looked upon from the view point of quantum-fractal geometry.

Intra-Atomic Gravitational Shielding (Lensing), Nuclear Forces and Radioactivity

The discovery by the author of real magnetic charges and true anti-electrons in the atomic structures allowed him to establish that the gravitational field (GF) in reality is the vortex electromagnetic field. Depending on the vector conditions the gravitational fields can be either paragravitational (PGF) or ferrogravitational (FGF). Masses (atoms, nucleons, etc.) emitting PGF manifest so-called attraction to each other. In fact, this process is the pressing of atoms or nucleons to each other by the forces of gravitational “Dark energy”. Namely the gravitational “Dark energy” which is formed between the masses emitting PGF and compressing of nucleons in atomic nuclei is the main force factor determining the formation of nuclear forces. Masses that emit FGF are repelled from PGF sources, for example, from the Earth. The last gravitational manifestation, discovered by the author, this is of the effect of the gravitational levitation. The atomic shell and atomic nucleus are autonomous sources of gravitational field in atomic compositions. The gravitational fields emitted these sources, by its physical parameters, are different gravitational fields, what associated with differences in the magnitudes charges of magnetic and electric particles in their compositions. The noted differences in the parameters of the GF are of reason that in atoms the process of extrusion of foreign gravitational field from the region of given gravitational source is realized. This effect should be called the effect of intra-atomic gravitational shielding (IAGS). Within the framework of this effect the shell of the atom is a kind of gravitational “insulator” that prevents the PGF of the nucleons from leaving beyond of the atom. As result of the IAGS effect, the concentration PGF of nucleons is realized only in the region of the nucleus, which leads to an increase in nuclear forces. However, the resistance of the marked “insulator” is finite and if the critical voltage PGF on the nucleus is exceeded, the complete shielding of the nucleon fields by the atomic shell is broken. As result of the leakage of a part of the PGF of nucleons beyond the atom, the density of this field in the region of the nucleus decreases significantly, which leads to a weakening of the nuclear forces and often leads to radioactivity. The effect of gravitational shielding is directly related to such a well-known concept as the mass defect of the nucleus. It is the exclusion of the gravitational field formed by the nucleons in the composition of the atomic nucleus as a result of the full IAGS effect that creates the illusion of atomic mass defect.

Physical effect on transition from blocking to conducting state of barrier-type thyristor

The transition of the barrier-type thyristor （BTH） from blocking to conducting-state occurs between two entirely contrary physical states with great disparity in nature. The physical effects and mechanisms of the transition are studied in depth. The features of the transition snapback point are analyzed in detail. The transition snapback point has duality and is just the position where the barrier is flattened. It has a significant influence on the capture crosssection of the hole and high-level hole lifetime, resulting in the device entering into deep base conductance modulation. The physical nature of the negative differential resistance segment I-V characteristics is studied. It is testified by using experimental data that the deep conductance modulation is the basic feature and the linchpin of the transition process. The conditions and physical mechanisms of conductance modulation are investigated. The related physical subjects, including the flattening of the channel barrier, the buildup of the double injection, the formation of the plasma, the realization of the high-level injection, the elimination of the gate junction depletion region, the deep conductance modulation, and the increase in the hole＇s lifetime are all discussed in this paper.

Magneto-transport properties of thin flakes of Weyl semiconductor tellurium

As an elemental semiconductor,tellurium has recently attracted intense interest due to its non-trivial band topology,and the resulted intriguing topological transport phenomena.In this study we report systematic electronic transport studies on tellurium flakes grown via a simple vapor deposition process.The sample is self-hole-doped,and exhibits typical weak localization behavior at low temperatures.Substantial negative longitudinal magnetoresistance under parallel magnetic field is observed over a wide temperature region,which is considered to share the same origin with that in tellurium bulk crystals,i.e.,the Weyl points near the top of valence band.However,with lowering temperature the longitudinal magnetoconductivity experiences a transition from parabolic to linear field dependency,differing distinctly from the bulk counterparts.Further analysis reveals that such a modulation of Weyl behaviors in this low-dimensional tellurium structure can be attributed to the enhanced inter-valley scattering at low temperatures.Our results further extend Weyl physics into a low-dimensional semiconductor system,which may find its potential application in designing topological semiconductor devices.

Interrelation among alexithymia and negative psychology of nursing personnel and their coping style

Objective:The purpose of the current study was to discuss the interrelation among alexithy-mia and negative psychology of nursing personnel and their coping style,so as to provide a theoret-ical basis for better mental health education and psychological intervention for nursing personnel.Methods:A questionnaire survey was administered to 503 nursing personnel sampled from a hospital in Henan Province between May and June 2010 by means of survey instruments of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 Items(TAS-20),the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire(TCSQ),and the General Health Questionnaire(GHQ-20).Results:(1)Alexithymia and a negative coping style had a positive correlation with negative psychology(P<0.01),while a positive coping style had a negative correlation with negative psy-chology(P<0.01).(2)The model fitting indices of coping style as intermediate variables between alexithymia and negative psychology were χ^(2)/df=1.459,RMSEA=0.030,CFI=0.995,IFI=0.995,RFI=0.966,TCI=0.989,and NEI=0.985,indicating a good model fitting.Ninety-nine percent of the total variation of negative psychology could be explained by alexithymia and coping style,of which the indirect effect affecting negative psychology by coping style accounted for 94.59%of the total.Conclusion:Alexithymia and coping style were very important factors for improvement of current mental status of the nursing personnel,especially for a change in negative coping style and selection of good coping style.

Can a Michelson-Morley Experiment Designed with Current Solar Velocity Distinguish between Non-Relativistic and Relativistic Theories?

If Michelson were to answer the question posed in the title, given the line of reasoning he used in 1881, Michelson would seat at his desktop computer to calculate the expected fringeshifts for several solar speeds around 400 km/s and various directions of motion. Present author did exactly the same in 2001 to plan his repetition of Michelson and Morley’s (MM) 1887 experiment. The paper sketchedly summarizes the procedure to calculate expected fringeshifts in the MM interferometer for solar speeds available at Miller’s epoch. In a pre-relativistic context, amplitudes of several fringeshifts may be expected in both MM and Miller experiments. However, all interferometer experiments up to 1930 were designed under the (incorrect from a modern viewpoint) assumption that fringeshifts would be smaller than one fringe-width. The inescapable conclusion is that those experiments were not appropriate to measure the true value of solar motion, always yielding a small, but lower than expected, value for solar speed. The ensuing “negative” interpretation led to the birth of relativity theory and to a new series of experiments implicitly designed to test the relativistic hypothesis of length-contraction, while the earlier “positive” experiments were designed to test a different hypothesis: whether the motion of Earth relative to some preferred frame can be measured using an interferometer of constant dimensions. With the benefit of hindsight this writer repeated the MM experiment, correcting main weaknesses identified up to the Michelson-Morley-Miller (MMM) measurements at Mount Wilson from April 1925 to February 1926. A new possible reinterpretation of the MMM data as a sequence of stationary measurements is pointed out. Our Michelson-Morley-Miller-Munera (MMMM) experiment at Bogota (Colombia) from January 2003 to June 2005 gave values for solar absolute velocity in the same range as those obtained by astronomical means. Surprisingly, our results are compatible with modern third-party MM-type experiments designed and interpreted within relativistic contexts. Thus, a so far unexplored possibility arises: can interferometric experiments distinguish between pre-relativistic and relativistic theories? Our answer is negative.

Solid State Physics View of Liquid State Chemistry Ⅱ. Electrical Capacitance of Pure and Impure Water

More than 80 years of theories and experiments on water suggested to us, described in our first water-physics report, that pure water＇s ＂abnormally＂ high electrical conductivity is due to transport of positive and negative quasi-protons, p＋ and p-, between the neutral proton traps V （H20） in the extended water, [（H20）N]＋, converting it respectively to positively and negatively charged proton traps, V＋ = （H30）1＋ and V- = （HO）1-. In this second report, we present the theoretical charge control capacitances of pure and impure water as a function of the DC electric potential applied to water.

Physics of ferroelectric differential capacitance based upon free energy, and implications for use in electronic devices

In this paper,it is shown that for stable,steady state operation of devices typical of microwave and millimeter wave electronics,no negative differential capacitance is possible with conventional thinking.However,it may be possible,with strain engineering of materials,to obtain some if not all elements of the differential capacitance tensor which are negative.Rigorous derivations are provided based upon analyzing the physics using thermodynamic phenomenological free energy.It should be emphasized that,even with strain engineering,and possible discovery of some negative capacitive elements,stable operation will not be obtained because the thermodynamics precludes it.

Solid State Physics View of Liquid State Chemistry Ⅲ. Electrical Conductance of Pure and Impure Water

The ＇abnormally＇ high electrical conductivity ofpure water was recently studied by us using our protonic bond, trap and energy band model, with five host particles： the positive and negative protons, and the amphoteric protonic trap in three charge states, positive, neutral and negative. Our second report described the electrical charge storage capacitance of pure and impure water. This third report presents the theory of particle density and electrical conductance of pure and impure water, including the impuritons, which consist of an impurity ion bonded to a proton, proton-hole or proton trap and which significantly affect impure waters＇ properties.

Anomalous thermal expansion of Gd_2Fe_(15.5)Cr_(1.5) compound

The structure and magnetic properties of Gd2Fe15.5Cr1.5 compound were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements.The Gd2Fe15.5Cr1.5 compound had a rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type structure.The Curie temperature of Gd2Fe15.5Cr1.5 compound was about 570 K.This value was about 60 K higher than that of the mother compound Gd2Fe17.Negative thermal expansion was found in Gd2Fe15.5Cr1.5 compound in a broad temperature range 294-572 K by X-ray dilatometry.The coefficient of the average thermal expansion was =-3.87×10-6 K-1 in 294-512 K,and-1.58×10-5 in 512-572 K.The magnetostriction deformations from 294 to 532 K were calculated by means of the differences between the experimental values of the lattice parameters and corresponding values extrapolated from the paramagnetic range.The result showed that the spontaneous volume magnetostrictive deformation ωS decreased linearly from 4.73×10-3 to 0.11×10-3 with the temperature increasing from 294 to 532 K.The analysis showed that the ωS mainly came from the contribution of the spontaneous linear magnetostrictive λc along the c axis.
