The signals of displacement in the vibration process during the test were collected. The trispectrum model of autoregressive (AR) time series was built and the correlation dimension was used to quantify the fractal characteristics during the vibration process. The result shows that,in different working conditions,trispectrum slices are applied to obtaining the information of non-Gaussian,nonlinear amplitude?frequency characteristics of the signal. Besides,there is correlation between the correlation dimension of vibration signal and trispectrum slices,which is very important to select the optimum working parameters of the MR damper and vibrating screen. And in the experimental conditions,it is found that when the working current of MR damper is 2 A and the rotation speed of vibration motor is 800 r/min,the vibration screen reaches its maximum screening efficiency.展开更多

Some satellite observations show that the number density ratio of the oxygen ions to the ambient plasma is 30% similar to 50%, sometimes, even as high as 80%. In this paper, effects of heavy ion species on KAWs are studied in a low-beta plasma. The results show that heavy ions not only considerably reduce the propagation speed of KAWs, but also remarkably influence the parallel component of perturbed electric field of KAWs (to the ambient magnetic field). The ratio of parallel to perpendicular components of perturbed field decreases (or increases) with the heavy ion abundance for KAWs dominated by the electron inertial length (or by ion acoustic gyroradius). In particular, the resonant condition of KAWs with thermal electrons is modified by the heavy ion species.展开更多

This chiral anomaly is a fundamental property of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and, therefore, an observation of the CME would have far-reaching impact on our understanding of QCD and Nature. The measurements of the CME-sensitive azimuthal correlator Δγ observable in heavy-ion collisions are contaminated by a major background induced by elliptic flow anisotropy. Several novel approaches have been carried out, including a dedicated isobar collision program, to address this flow-induced background. Further background effects, arising from nonflow correlations, have been studied. While the isobar data are consistent with zero CME signal with an upper limit of 10% of the measured Δγ, the Au+Au midcentral data suggest a positive CME signal on the order of 10% of the measured Δγ with a significance of ~2 standard deviations. Future increased statistics and improved detector capability should yield a firm conclusion on the existence (or the lack) of the CME in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.展开更多

However, commercially available contrast agents originated from small molecules typically exhibit relatively low relaxivities and insufficient circulation time. Therefore, there is a long pursuit to develop new contrast agents with high relaxivities to discriminate pathological tissues from normal ones. Compared with small molecule MRI contrast agents, the incorporation of small molecule contrast agents into macromolecular scaffolds allows for constructing macromolecular MRI contrast agents, remarkably elevating the relaxivities due in part to increased rotational correlation time(τR). Moreover, if the macromolecular scaffolds are responsive to external stimuli, the MRI signals could be selectively switched on at the desired sites(e.g., pathological tissues), further intensifying the imaging contrast. In this feature article, we outline the recent achievements in the fabrication of stimuli-responsive macromolecular MRI contrast agents. Specifically, macromolecular contrast agents being responsive to acidic p H, redox potentials, and other stimuli including photoirradiation, pathogens, and salt concentration are discussed. These smart contrast agents could affect either longitudinal(T1) or transverse(T2) relaxation times of water protons or other nuclei(e.g.,19 F), exhibiting enhanced signals in pathological tissues yet suppressed signals in normal ones and displaying promising potentials in in vitro and in vivo MRI applications.展开更多

Qualitatively, at finite temperature the transverse correlation reflects the short-range interaction between spins, so that lowers the internal energy and consequently raises the free energy. It also means the introduction o[ some ordering, and hence lowers the entropy. It is depressed by the field which forces the spins to turn to the field direction, so that it decreases with the field when temperature is fixed. The low-temperature expansion of the energy shows that the inclusion of the transverse correlation at least partly considers the interaction between spin waves.展开更多

However, there has been so far no experimental verification of this effect, as the associated temperatures lie far below any observable threshold. Recently, physical phenomena, which are of great experimental challenge, have been investigated by quantum simulations in various fields. Here we perform a proof-of-principle simulation of the evolution of ferrnionic modes under the Unruh effect with a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum simulator. By the quantum simulator, we experimentally demonstrate the behavior of Unruh temperature with acceleration, and we fiarther investigate the quantum correlations quantified by quantum discord between two fermionic modes as seen by two relatively accelerated observers. It is shown that the quantum correlations can be created by the Unrtfia effect from the classically correlated states. Our work may provide a promising way to explore the quantum physics of accelerated systems.展开更多
