This RHF equation employs the local density approach for exchange interactions including plasma Debye screening. Theoretical RHF and random phase approximation with exchange (RPAE) velocity calculations have shown that the GOSs for excitations to 3 s0(3 p,4 p,5 p,6 p)depend on the plasma Debye screening effects, as shown by the reduction in the GOS amplitude with decreasing Debye length λD. The agreement between the present RPAE V results for the transitions 3 s→3 s0(3 p,4 p,5 p)and the length calculations of Martínez-Flores was satisfactory. Correlation effects were found quite to be significant in the vicinity of the maxima of the GOS of the 3 s→3 s0(4 p,5 p,6 p)excitations by using the RPAE V approach. We note the poor influence of many electron correlations on the GOS of (3 s→3 p)transition with the same principal quantum number. Finally, we comment that the RPAE V calculations are useful in investigating electron correlation effects on the transition GOS of atomic sodium planted in Debye plasma. The present velocity results also reveal that the 3 s→3 s0(5p, 6p)transition GOSs tend to be delocalized due to more significant screening effects at Debye lengths λD=20and 30 a.u. for excited subshells 5p and 6p, respectively. We report here novel results of GOS for 3 s→3 s06ptransition obtained from different Debye lengths.展开更多

Addition of oxaliplatin to S-1 is considered to be acceptable as one of the treatment options for gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy with D2 lymph node excision. Methods: We have commenced a randomized phase III trial in December 2016 to evaluate S-I plus oxaliplatin compared with S-1 alone in the adjuvant setting for locally advanced gastric cancer. A total of 564 patients will be accrued from 13 Chinese institutions in two years. The primary endpoint is 3-year relapse-free survival. The secondary endpoints are 5-year overall survival, proportion of patients who complete the postoperative chemotherapy and incidence of adverse events. Ethic and dissemination: The trial has been approved by the institutional review board of each participating institution and it was activated on December, 2016. The enrollment will be finished in December, 2018. Patient's follow-up will be ended until December, 2023. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02867839.

Recently, in the Association of Medical Oncology of the German Cancer Society(AIO) 0604 trial, tri?weekly XELIRI plus bevacizumab, with reduced doses of irinotecan(200 mg/m^2 on day 1) and capecitabine(1600 mg/m^2 on days 1–14), repeated every 3 weeks, has shown favorable tolerability and eicacy which were comparable to those of capecitabine and oxaliplatin(XELOX) plus bevacizumab. The doses of capecit?abine and irinotecan in the AIO trial are considered optimal. In a phase I/II study, XELIRI plus bevacizumab(BIX) as second?line chemotherapy was well tolerated and had promising eicacy in Japanese patients.Methods: The Asian XELIRI Projec T(AXEPT) is an East Asian collaborative, open?labelled, randomized, phase Ⅲ clinical trial which was designed to demonstrate the non?inferiority of XELIRI with or without bevacizumab versus standard FOLFIRI(5?fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan combination) with or without bevacizumab as second?line chemo?therapy for patients with m CRC. Patients with 20 years of age or older, histologically conirmed m CRC, Eastern Coop?erative Oncology Group performance status 0–2, adequate organ function, and disease progression or intolerance of the irst?line regimen will be eligible. Patients will be randomized(1:1) to receive standard FOLFIRI with or with?out bevacizumab(5 mg/kg on day 1), repeated every 2 weeks(FOLIRI arm) or XELIRI with or without bevacizumab(7.5 mg/kg on day 1), repeated every 3 weeks(XELIRI arm). A total of 464 events were estimated as necessary to show non?inferiority with a power of 80% at a one?sided α of 0.025, requiring a target sample size of 600 patients. The 95% conidence interval(CI) upper limit of the hazard ratio was pre?speciied as less than 1.3.Conclusion: The Asian XELIRI Projec T is a multinational phase III trial being conducted to provide evidence for XELIRI with or without bevacizumab as a second?line treatment option of mCRC.展开更多

It finds that when the phase perturbation is weak, chaos is absent in power systems. With the increase of disturbed intensity σ, power systems become unstable and fall into chaos as σ further increases. These phenomena imply that random phase can induce and enhance chaos in power systems. Furthermore, the possible mechanism behind the action of random phase is addressed.展开更多

By considering the time-shift of a random phase screen, the formula of acoustic pressure for the AV beam generated by a circular array of eight planar piston sources is derived. With the actual correlation length of the abdominal wall, numerical simulations before and after the insertion of the inhomogeneous tissue layer are conducted, and also demonstrated by experimental measurements. It is proved that, when the thickness variation of the phase screen is less than one wavelength, no significant influence on the generation of AVs can be produced. The variations of vortex nodes and antinodes in terms of the location, shape, and size of AVs are not obvious. Although the circular pressure distribution might be deformed by the phase interference with a larger thickness variation, AVs can still be generated around the center axis with perfect phase spirals in a reduced effective radius. The favorable results provide the feasibility of AV generation inside the human body and suggest the application potential of AVs in object manipulation for biomedical engineering.展开更多

The electrical thermal analysis of the BTL cell and the blade heater contactor structure by three-dimensional finite element modeling are compared with each other during RESET operation. The simulation results show that the programming region of the phase change layer in the BTL cell is much smaller, and thermal electrical distributions of the BTL cell are more concentrated on the TiN/GST interface. The results indicate that the BTL cell has the superiorities of increasing the heating efficiency, decreasing the power consumption and reducing the RESET current from 0.67mA to 0.32mA. Therefore, the BTL cell will be appropriate for high performance PCRAM device with lower power consumption and lower RESET current.展开更多

The amplitude difference (I1 - I2) of the set pulse is proved to be a crucial parameter for set programming. We observe and analyze the cell characteristics with different I1 - I2 by means of thermal simulations and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which reveal that an incomplete set programming will occur when the proposed slow-down pulse is set with an improperly high I1 - I2. This will lead to an amorphous residue in the active region. We also discuss the programming method to avoid the set performance degradations.展开更多

With these two complementary methods, it is found that an intermediate value of the next-nearest- neighbor hopping amplitude tl tends to stabilize the fully polarized ferromagnetic state under the condition that the on-site coulomb interaction U is sufficiently large in our model. The ground-state phase diagram of the model is presented in the tl-U plane.展开更多

It is shown that the reproduction of the correct order of the 1- and 3- excitation states of 16O is due to the contribution of the exchange vertex. There is no significant influence of the retardation effect on the low-lying excitation states. In contrast, the retardation effect plays an important role in the electron scattering process of nuclei. The theoretical longitudinal responses of 12C and 40Ca, including the contributions of the exchange vertex and the retardation effect, are suppressed and reproduce the experimental data better than the results excluding them.展开更多

文摘This paper studies how random phase (namely, noise-perturbed phase) effects the dynamical behaviours of a simple model of power system which operates in a stable regime far away from chaotic behaviour in the absence of noise. It finds that when the phase perturbation is weak, chaos is absent in power systems. With the increase of disturbed intensity σ, power systems become unstable and fall into chaos as σ further increases. These phenomena imply that random phase can induce and enhance chaos in power systems. Furthermore, the possible mechanism behind the action of random phase is addressed.

文摘The influence of the inhomogeneous tissue layer on the generation of acoustic vortices (AV) is studied theoretically and experimentally based on the phase screen model. By considering the time-shift of a random phase screen, the formula of acoustic pressure for the AV beam generated by a circular array of eight planar piston sources is derived. With the actual correlation length of the abdominal wall, numerical simulations before and after the insertion of the inhomogeneous tissue layer are conducted, and also demonstrated by experimental measurements. It is proved that, when the thickness variation of the phase screen is less than one wavelength, no significant influence on the generation of AVs can be produced. The variations of vortex nodes and antinodes in terms of the location, shape, and size of AVs are not obvious. Although the circular pressure distribution might be deformed by the phase interference with a larger thickness variation, AVs can still be generated around the center axis with perfect phase spirals in a reduced effective radius. The favorable results provide the feasibility of AV generation inside the human body and suggest the application potential of AVs in object manipulation for biomedical engineering.

文摘In this paper,we investigate the bichromatic coherent random lasing actions from the dye-doped polymer stabilized blue phase liquid crystals.Two groups of lasing peaks,of which the full widith at half maximum is about 0.3 nm,are clearly observed.The shorter-and longer-wavelength modes are associated with the excitation of the single laser dye(DCM) monomers and dimers respectively.The experimental results show that the competition between the two groups of the lasing peaks can be controlled by varying the polarization of the pump light.When the polarization of the pump light is rotated from 0?to 90?,the intensity of the shorter-wavelength lasing peak group reduces while the intensity of the longer-wavelength lasing peak group increases.In addition,a red shift of the longer-wavelength modes is also observed and the physical mechanisms behind the red-shift phenomenon are discussed.

文摘An optimized device structure for reducing the RESET current of phase-change random access memory (PCRAM) with blade-type like (BTL) phase change layer is proposed. The electrical thermal analysis of the BTL cell and the blade heater contactor structure by three-dimensional finite element modeling are compared with each other during RESET operation. The simulation results show that the programming region of the phase change layer in the BTL cell is much smaller, and thermal electrical distributions of the BTL cell are more concentrated on the TiN/GST interface. The results indicate that the BTL cell has the superiorities of increasing the heating efficiency, decreasing the power consumption and reducing the RESET current from 0.67mA to 0.32mA. Therefore, the BTL cell will be appropriate for high performance PCRAM device with lower power consumption and lower RESET current.

文摘In this paper,a stochastic second-order two-scale(SSOTS)method is proposed for predicting the non-deterministic mechanical properties of composites with random interpenetrating phase.Firstly,based on random morphology description functions(RMDF),the randomness of the material properties of the constituents as well as the correlation among these random properties are fully characterized through the topologies of the constituents.Then,by virtue of multiscale asymptotic analysis,the random effective quantities such as stiffness parameters and strength parameters along with their numerical computation formulae are derived by a SSOTS strategy combined with the Monte-Carlo method.Finally,the SSOTS method developed in this paper shows an excellent computational accuracy,and therefore present an important advance towards computationally efficient multiscale modeling frameworks considering microstructure uncertainties.

文摘A novel slow-down set waveform is proposed to improve the set performance and a 1 kb phase change random access memory chip fabricated with a 13nm CMOS technology is implemented to investigate the set performance by different set programming strategies based on this new set pulse. The amplitude difference (I1 - I2) of the set pulse is proved to be a crucial parameter for set programming. We observe and analyze the cell characteristics with different I1 - I2 by means of thermal simulations and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which reveal that an incomplete set programming will occur when the proposed slow-down pulse is set with an improperly high I1 - I2. This will lead to an amorphous residue in the active region. We also discuss the programming method to avoid the set performance degradations.

文摘Background:The current standard of care for non-bulky diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)patients with an International Prognostic Index(IPI)of 0 is four cycles of rituximab plus cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine and prednisone(R-CHOP)but whether the same efficacy can be achieved with reduced chemotherapy regimen of four cycles for non-bulky DLBCL patients with an IPI of 1 remains unclear.This study compared four cycles versus six cycles of chemotherapy in non-bulky low-risk DLBCL patients with negative interim positron emission tomography with computed tomography(PET-CT,Deauville 1-3),irrespective of age and other IPI risk factors(IPI 0-1).Methods:This was an open-label,randomized,phaseⅢ,non-inferiority trial.Patients aged 14-75 years with newly diagnosed low-risk DLBCL,according to IPI,achieving PET-CT confirmed complete response(CR)after four cycles of R-CHOPwere randomized(1:1)between four cycles of rituximab(4R-CHOP+4R arm)or two cycles of R-CHOP plus two cycles of rituximab(6R-CHOP+2R arm).The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival(PFS),conducted in the intention-to-treat population.Safety was assessed in patients with at least one cycle of assigned treatment.The non-inferiority margin was-8%.Results:A total of 287 patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis,the median follow-up was 47.3 months,and the 2-year PFS rate was 95%(95%confidence interval[CI],92%to 99%)and 94%(95%CI,91%to 98%)for the 4R-CHOP+4R and 6R-CHOP+2R arm.The absolute difference in 2-year PFS between the two arms was 1%(95%CI,-5%to 7%),supporting the non-inferiority of 4R-CHOP+4R.Grade 3-4 neutropenia was lower in the last four cycles of rituximab alone in the 4R-CHOP+4R arm(16.7%versus 76.9%),with decreased risk of febrile neutropenia(0.0%versus 8.4%)and infection(2.1%versus 14.0%).Conclusions:For newly diagnosed low-risk DLBCL patients,interim PET-CT after four cycles of R-CHOP was effective in identifying patients with Deauville 1-3 who would have a good response and Deauville 4-5 patients who might have high-risk biological features or develop resistance.Reducing the standard six cycles to four cycles of chemotherapy had comparable clinical efficacy and fewer adverse events in low-risk,non-bulky DLBCL with interim PET-CT confirmed CR.
文摘The effect of random phase on the Josephson junction system dynamic model is investigated.It is shown that random phase has the suppressing ability for controlling chaos.The top Lyapunov exponent is used to detect the chaotic dynamics in the system,and the method for calculating the top Lyapunov exponent is based on Khasminskii’s spherical coordinate formulation for linear stochastic systems.In addition,Poincarémap,phase portraits and time evolution are investigated to verify the obtained results.It is found that these results have the excellent agreement.

文摘Ferromagnetism in the one-dimensional Hubbard model with the next-nearest-neighbor hopping is explored by using the exact-diagonalization method in a small cluster and the equation-of-motion method in the thermodynamic limit with electron density n = 3/2. With these two complementary methods, it is found that an intermediate value of the next-nearest- neighbor hopping amplitude tl tends to stabilize the fully polarized ferromagnetic state under the condition that the on-site coulomb interaction U is sufficiently large in our model. The ground-state phase diagram of the model is presented in the tl-U plane.

文摘Authentication of the digital image has much attention for the digital revolution.Digital image authentication can be verified with image watermarking and image encryption schemes.These schemes are widely used to protect images against forgery attacks,and they are useful for protecting copyright and rightful ownership.Depending on the desirable applications,several image encryption and watermarking schemes have been proposed to moderate this attention.This framework presents a new scheme that combines a Walsh Hadamard Transform(WHT)-based image watermarking scheme with an image encryption scheme based on Double Random Phase Encoding(DRPE).First,on the sender side,the secret medical image is encrypted using DRPE.Then the encrypted image is watermarking based on WHT.The combination between watermarking and encryption increases the security and robustness of transmitting an image.The performance evaluation of the proposed scheme is obtained by testing Structural Similarity Index(SSIM),Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR),Normalized cross-correlation(NC),and Feature Similarity Index(FSIM).

文摘Laser ranging with frequency comb intermode beats[IMBs]has been suffering from random phase drifts[RPDs]for two decades.In this study,we reveal the influence of signal transmission path on the RPDs and propose a real-time suppression method using two IMBs of similar frequencies from different combs.As the two IMBs obtain similar RPDs during their transmission through same signal paths,the RPD of the original probing signal IMB is suppressed by deducting the RPD of the newly added local IMB in real time.In our experiments,a real-time suppression of RPDs is achieved using IMBs of 1001 and 1000 MHz.For the sampling time of 100 s,the effect of 19-fold suppression has been achieved.The proposed method provides a new solution for the long-standing phase drift problem in laser ranging with comb IMBs.

文摘We investigate the effects of theσmeson mass(m_(σ)),symmetry energy,and slope of the symmetry energy on the neutron star core-crust transition density and the crustal moment of inertia(ΔI/I)in the nonlinear relativistic Hartree approach(RHA),which includes vacuum polarization.Although the core-crust transition density(ρ_(t)),pressure(P_(t)),and neutron star radius(R),which are all dependent on the symmetry energy,contribute to determiningΔI/I,we find that changing only the slope of symmetry energy within a reasonable range is not sufficient to reachΔI/I≥7%to achieve the large glitches of the Vela pulsar.However,since all three factors(ρ_(t),P_(t),and R)increase with the increase in mσthrough scalar vacuum polarization,adjusting mσcan easily achieveΔI/I≥7%.

文摘Background:The preliminary results of our phase II randomized trial reported comparable functional sphincter pres-ervation rates and short-term survival outcomes between patients undergoing total mesorectal excision(TME)with or without preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT).We now report the long-term results after a median follow-up of 71 months.Methods:Between March 23,2008 and August 2,2012,192 patients with T3-T4 or node-positive,resectable,mid/low rectal adenocarcinoma were randomly assigned to receive TME with or without preoperative CCRT.The following endpoints were assessed:cumulative rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis,disease-free survival(DFS),and overall survival(OS).Results:The data of 184 eligible patients were analyzed:94 patients in the TME group and 90 patients in the CCRT+TME group.In the whole cohort,the 5-year DFS and OS rates were 84.8%and 85.1%,respectively.The 5-year DFS rates were 85.2%in the CCRT+TME group and 84.3%in the TME group(P=0.969),and the 5-year OS rates were 83.5%in the CCRT+TME group and 86.5%in the TME group(P=0.719).The 5-year cumulative rates of local recur-rence were 6.3%and 5.0%(P=0.681),and the 5-year cumulative rates of distant metastasis were 15.0%and 15.7%(P=0.881)in the CCRT+TME and TME groups,respectively.No significant improvements in 5-year DFS and OS were observed with CCRT by subgroup analyses.Conclusions:Both treatment strategies yielded similar long-term outcomes.A selective policy towards preoperative CCRT is thus recommended for rectal cancer patients if high-quality TME surgery and enhanced chemotherapy can be performed.

文摘By using the rigorous spectral representation of relativistic random phase approximation, the low-lying excitation of finite nuclei and its longitudinal response function for quasielastic electron scattering are calculated in the σ-ω model of quantum hadrodynamics. It is shown that the reproduction of the correct order of the 1- and 3- excitation states of 16O is due to the contribution of the exchange vertex. There is no significant influence of the retardation effect on the low-lying excitation states. In contrast, the retardation effect plays an important role in the electron scattering process of nuclei. The theoretical longitudinal responses of 12C and 40Ca, including the contributions of the exchange vertex and the retardation effect, are suppressed and reproduce the experimental data better than the results excluding them.
