Lambda polarization at the Electron-ion collider in China

Lambda polarization can be measured through its self-analyzing weak decay, making it an ideal candidate for studying spin effects in high-energy scattering. In lepton-nucleon deep inelastic scattering(DIS), Lambda polarization measurements can probe polarized parton distribution functions(PDFs) and polarized fragmentation functions(FFs). One of the most promising facilities for high-energy nuclear physics research is the proposed Electron-ion collider in China(EicC). As a next-generation facility, EicC is set to advance our understanding of nuclear physics to new heights. In this article, we study the Lambda production in electron-proton collisions at the EicC energy, in particular the reconstruction of Lambda based on the performance of the designed EicC detector. In addition, taking spontaneous transverse polarization as an example, we provide a theoretical prediction with a statistical projection based on one month of EicC data, offering valuable insights into future research prospects.

Polar Functions for Fractional Brownian Motion

Let X (t)(t∈R^N) be a d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion. A contiunous function f:R^N→R^d is called a polar function of X(t)(t∈R^N) if P{ t∈R^N\{0},X(t)=t(t)}=0. In this paper, the characteristies of the class of polar functions are studied. Our theorem 1 improves the previous results of Graversen and Legall. Theorem2 solves a problem of Legall (1987) on Brownian motion.

Degree of polarization based on the three-component pBRDF model for metallic materials

An expression of degree of polarization（DOP） for metallic material is presented based on the three-component polarized bidirectional reflectance distribution function（p BRDF） model with considering specular reflection, directional diffuse reflection and ideal diffuse reflection. The three-component p BRDF model with a detailed reflection assumption is validated by comparing simulations with measurements. The DOP expression presented in this paper is related to surface roughness, which makes it more reasonable in physics. Test results for two metallic samples show that the DOP based on the three-component p BRDF model accords well with the measurement and the error of existing DOP expression is significantly reduced by introducing the diffuse reflection. It indicates that our DOP expression describes the polarized reflection properties of metallic surfaces more accurately.

Coulomb Screening and Plasmon Excitation in Graphene at Finite Temperature

By using the random phase approximation (RPA) in many-body perturbation theory,we calculate thepolarization function of the electron gas in graphene at finite temperature.Based on this,we calculate the temperaturedependent dielectric function ∈(q).The thermal effect on ∈(q) in various q regions is discussed.The temperaturedependence is found to be quadratic.We also investigate the plasmon dispersion relation at finite temperature,with thezero-temperature relation as a special case.The result is in good agreement with recent experimental data.

Polarity for a Class of Levy Processes

Polar set of Markov processes is an important concept in probabilistic potential theory, but it is not easy to judge the polarity of the sets. In this paper, we give some results which can be easily used to examine the polarity of the sets whenX t belongs to a special class of Levy processes. We also give a result about polar functions of symmetric stable processes.

Solvent Effects on Spectral Property and Dipole Moment of the Lowest Excited State of Coumarin 343 Dye

Steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectra, and time-resolved fluorescence spectra of coumarin 343 （C343） were measured in different solvents. The effect of the solvent on the spectral properties and dipole moment of the lowest excited state of C343 were investigated. It was found that the absorption and fluorescence spectra red-shifted slightly and strongly with increasing solvent polarity, respectively, because the charge distribution of the excited state leaded to the increasing difference between the absorption and fluorescence spectra with increasing solvent polarity. The dipole moment of the lowest excited state of C343 was determined from solvatochromic measurements and the quantum chemical calculation, and the results obtained from these two methods were fully consistent. Investigations of the time-resolved fluorescence of C343 in different solvents indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes increased nearly linearly with 4.45 ns in water. This can be ascribed between C343 and hydrogen donating increasing solvent polarity from 3.09 ns in toluene to to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions solvents

Mechanistic insights of the controlled release capacity of polar functional group in transdermal drug delivery system:the relationship of hydrogen bonding strength and controlled release capacity

Background:Hydrogen bonding interaction was considered to play a critical role in controlling drug release from transdermal patch.However,the quantitative evaluation of hydrogen bonding strength between drug and polar functional group was rarely reported,and the relationship between hydrogen bonding strength and controlled release capacity of pressure sensitive adhesive(PSA)was not well understood.The present study shed light on this relationship.Methods:Acrylate PSAs with amide group were synthesized by a free radical-initiated solution polymerization.Six drugs,i.e.,etodolac,ketoprofen,gemfibrozil,zolmitriptan,propranolol and lidocaine,were selected as model drugs.In vitro drug release and skin permeation experiments and in vivo pharmacokinetic experiment were performed.Partial correlation analysis,fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and molecular simulation were conducted to provide molecular details of drug-PSA interactions.Mechanical test,rheology study,and modulated differential scanning calorimetry study were performed to scrutinize the free volume and molecular mobility of PSAs.Results:Release rate of all six drugs from amide PSAs decreased with the increase of amide group concentrations;however,only zolmitriptan and propranolol showed decreased skin permeation rate.It was found that drug release was controlled by amide group through hydrogen bonding,and controlled release extent was positively correlated with hydrogen bonding strength.Conclusion:From these results,we concluded that drugs with strong hydrogen bond forming ability and high skin permeation were suitable to use amide PSAs to regulate their release rate from patch.

MicroRNAs in tumor immunity:functional regulation in tumor-associated macrophages

Tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)are the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment(TME)and are critical for cancer initiation and progression.MicroRNAs(miRNAs)could notably influence the phenotype of TAMs through various targets and signal pathways during cancer progression due to their posttranscriptional regulation.In this review,we discuss mainly the regulatory function of miRNAs on macrophage differentiation,functional polarization,and cellular crosstalk.Firstly,during the generation process,miRNAs take part in the differentiation from myeloid cells to mature macrophages,and this maturation process directly influences their recruitment into the TME,attracted by tumor cells.Secondly,macrophages in the TME can be either tumor-promoting or tumor-suppressing,depending on their functional polarization.Large numbers of miRNAs can influence the polarization of macrophages,which is crucial for tumor progression,including tumor cell invasion,intravasation,extravasation,and premetastatic site formation.Thirdly,crosstalk between tumor cells and macrophages is essential for TME formation and tumor progression,and miRNAs can be the mediator of communication in different forms,especially when encapsulated in microvesicles or exosomes.We also assess the potential value of certain macrophage-related miRNAs(MRMs)as diagnostic and prognostic markers,and discuss the possible development of MRM-based therapies.

Polar Functions of Multiparameter Bifractional Brownian Sheets

Let B^H,K ： （B^H,K（t）, t ∈R＋^N} be an （N,d）-bifractional Brownian sheet with Hurst indices H = （H1,..., HN） ∈ （0, 1）^N and K = （K1,..., KN）∈ （0, 1]^N. The characteristics of the polar functions for B^H,K are investigated. The relationship between the class of continuous functions satisfying the Lipschitz condition and the class of polar-functions of B^H,K is presented. The Hausdorff dimension of the fixed points and an inequality concerning the Kolmogorov＇s entropy index for B^H,K are obtained. A question proposed by LeGall about the existence of no-polar, continuous functions statisfying the Holder condition is also solved.

Polar Functions and Intersections of the Random String Processes

Let {us （x） ： s 〉 0, x ∈ JR} be a random string taking values in ]Rd. The main goal of this paper is to discuss the characteristics of the polar functions of {us （x） ： s ≥ 0, x ∈ JR}. The relationship between a class of continuous functions satisfying the HSlder condition and a class of polar-functions of {us（x） ： s 〉 0, x ∈ R} is presented. The Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the set that the string intersects a given non-polar continuous function are determined. The upper and lower bounds are obtained for the probability that the string intersects a given function in terms of respectively Hausdorff measure and capacity.

FERM domain phosphorylation and endogenous 3＇UTR are not essential for regulating the function and subcellular localization of polarity protein Crumbs

Among them, Crumbs （Crb） is the only trans- membrane polarity protein characterized to date （Tepass et al.,

Initial research on the polarized reflectance of typical urban surface types measured by the Directional Polarimetric Camera

This paper retrieves the bidirectional polarization distribution functions (BPDFs) of the distinct urban cover in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region employing the high spatial resolution of multi-angle polarized measurements made by the Directional Polarimetric Camera (DPC).The BPDF operational products of MICROPOL and POLDER measurements were used to validate the BPDF products of the DPC,with the results demonstrating that the BPDF product of the DPC measurements accurately expresses the surface polarized reflectance.The polarized reflectance of distinct surface types in the PRD region was studied using the DPC measurements.The results demonstrate that the polarized reflectances of different surface types differ and decrease as the normalized difference vegetation index increases.The polarized reflectance of a distinct surface type in the PRD region decreases with increasing scattering angle.The basic theory of investigating surface properties using multi-angle polarized measurements is proposed.

Applications of gauge duality in robust principal component analysis and semidefinite programming

Gauge duality theory was originated by Preund （1987）, and was recently further investigated by Friedlander et al. （2014）. When solving some matrix optimization problems via gauge dual, one is usually able to avoid full matrix decompositions such as singular value and/or eigenvalue decompositions. In such an approach, a gauge dual problem is solved in the first stage, and then an optimal solution to the primal problem can be recovered from the dual optimal solution obtained in the first stage. Recently, this theory has been applied to a class of semidefinite programming （SDP） problems with promising numerical results by Friedlander and Mac^to （2016）. We establish some theoretical results on applying the gauge duality theory to robust principal component analysis （PCA） and general SDP. For each problem, we present its gauge dual problem, characterize the optimality conditions for the primal-dual gauge pair, and validate a way to recover a primal optimal solution from a dual one. These results are extensions of Friedlander and Macedo （2016） from nuclear norm regularization to robust PCA and from a special class of SDP which requires the coefficient matrix in the linear objective to be positive definite to SDP problems without this restriction. Our results provide further understanding in the potential advantages and disadvantages of the gauge duality theory.
