A New Kind of Two-Fold Integration Transformation in Phase Space and Its Uses in Weyl Ordering of Operators

We propose a new two-fold integration transformation in p-q phase space∫∫^∞-∞dpdq/π e^2i（p-x）（q-y）f（p,q）≡G（x,y）,which possesses some well-behaved transformation properties. We apply this transformation to the Weyl ordering of operators, especially those Q-P ordered and P-Q ordered operators.

New ordered MAX phase Mo_2 TiAlC_2: Elastic and electronic properties from first-principles

First-principles computation on the basis of density functional theory(DFT) is executed with the CASTEP code to explore the structural, elastic, and electronic properties along with Debye temperature and theoretical Vickers’ hardness of newly discovered ordered MAX phase carbide Mo2TiAlC2. The computed structural parameters are very reasonable compared with the experimental results. The mechanical stability is verified by using the computed elastic constants. The brittleness of the compound is indicated by both the Poisson’s and Pugh’s ratios. The new MAX phase is capable of resisting the pressure and tension and also has the clear directional bonding between atoms. The compound shows significant elastic anisotropy. The Debye temperature estimated from elastic moduli(B, G) is found to be 413.6 K. The electronic structure indicates that the bonding nature of Mo2TiAlC2is a mixture of covalent and metallic with few ionic characters. The electron charge density map shows a strong directional Mo–C–Mo covalent bonding associated with a relatively weak Ti–C bond.The calculated Fermi surface is due to the low-dispersive Mo 4d-like bands, which makes the compound a conductive one.The hardness of the compound is also evaluated and a high value of 9.01 GPa is an indication of its strong covalent bonding.

The Struggle for Establishing A New International Order

The 20th century is a century when both intra-national order and internationalorder were frequently changing. The struggles have never stopped focusingon setting order. Today with the East-west cold war over for 10 years, there arestill strong appeals for peace and stability, and demands for establishing a newinternational order. The War on Kosovo in the end of the 20th century is a sig-nificant attempt from the U. S. and other major Western powers to set up a newworld order without caring whether by means of force or even of war. This

Land use suitability analysis for town development planning in Nanjing hilly areas: A case study of Tangshan new town, China

Land use suitability analysis plays an important role in sustainable land use and solving environmental problems caused by rapid urban development.A land use suitability mapping approach for town development planning in hilly areas was constructed based on two multi-criteria evaluation methods:Weighted Linear Combination(WLC)and Ordered Weighted Averaging(OWA),to comparatively evaluate and map land use suitability of Tangshan new town in Nanjing,China.Fourteen evaluation factors related to topographic,environmental,socio-economics and historical sites data were used as suitability criteria.The analytic hierarchy process(AHP)method and GIS techniques were integrated into the evaluation models to create the land use suitability map for town development planning.The results of WLC approach showed that 11.4%of the total area is highly suitable while the 48.6%is unsuitable.The results of WLC and OWA approach showed the distribution of degree of land use suitability is almost the same.The areas located at the southern and eastern flat regions are highly suitable for land use,whereas the areas close to the mountain forests,steep slopes,waters,and hot springs,have lower suitability for land use.Sensitivity analysis indicated that the suitability results of the two proposed methods are robust.Indirect validation was achieved by mutual comparison of suitability maps derived from the WLC and OWA methods.It demonstrated that the overall agreement is 90.81%and kappa coefficient is 0.81,indicating that both methods provide very similar spatial suitability distributions.By overlaying the resultant map with the previous master plan map of Tangshan new town,the overlay map once again indicated a satisfactory ecological fit between the two maps.At last,several recommendations are proposed aiming at improving the long-term town development plan for Tangshan new town.

Higher Order Solitary Wave Solutions of the Standard KdV Equations

Considered under their standard form, the fifth-order KdV equations are a sort of reading table on which new prototypes of higher order solitary waves residing there, have been uncovered and revealed to broad daylight. The mathematical tool that made it possible to explore and analyze this equation is the Bogning-Djeumen Tchaho-Kofané method extended to the new implicit Bogning' functions. The analytical form of the solutions chosen in this manuscript is particular in the sense that it contains within its bosom, a package of solitary waves made up of three solitons, especially, the bright type soliton, the hybrid soliton and the dark type soliton which we estimate capable in their interactions of generating new hybrid or multi-form solitons. Existence conditions of the obtained solitons have been determined. It emerges that, these existence conditions of the chosen ansatz could open the way to other new varieties of fifth-order KdV equations including to which it will be one of the solutions. Some of the obtained solitons are exact solutions. Intense numerical simulations highlighted numerical stability and confirmed the hybrid character of the obtained solutions. These results will help to model new nonlinear wave phenomena, in plasma media and in fluid dynamics, especially, on the shallow water surface.

A new two-mode thermo- and squeezing-mixed optical field

We propose a new two-mode thermo-and squeezing-mixed optical field, described by the new density operator ρ=1-e^f-｜g｜^2 e^ga^＋b^＋e^fa^＋a｜0〉 f_（bb） 〈0｜ e^（g＊ab）, where ｜0〉_（bb） 〈0｜ is the b-mode vacuum, e ^fa^＋arepresents the thermo-field, and e^ga^＋b^＋ indicates squeezing. The photon statistics for ρ is studied by virtue of the method of integration within ordered product（IWOP） of operators. Such a field can be generated when a two-mode squeezed state passes through a one-mode dissipation channel.

Some applications of a new coherent-entangled state in two-mode Fock space

Using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, we find a new kind of coherent-entangled state （CES）, which exhibits both coherent and entangled state properties. The set of CESs makes up a complete and partly nonorthogonal representation. Using a beam splitter, we propose a simple experimental scheme to produce the CES. Finally~ we present some applications of CESs in quantum optics.

Ordered product expansions of operators (AB)^±m with arbitrary positive integer

We arrange quantum mechanical operators ■ in their normally ordered product forms by using Touchard polynomials.Moreover,we derive the anti-normally ordered forms of ■ by using special functions as well as Stirling-like numbers together with the general mutual transformation rule between normal and anti-normal orderings of operators.Further,the Q-and P-ordered forms of(QP)±m are also obtained by using an analogy method.

Adaptive synchronisation of fractional-order chaotic systems

A new stability theory of nonlinear dynamic systems is proposed, and a novel adaptive synchronisation method is presented for fractional-order chaotic and hyperchaotic systems based on the theory described in this paper. In comparison with previous methods, not only is the present control scheme simple but also it employs only one control strength, converges very fast, and it is also suitable for a large class of fractional-order chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. Moreover, this scheme is analytical and simple to implement in practice. Numerical and circuit simulations are used to validate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

农村新生代青年低额彩礼的形成机制及其现实挑战

高额彩礼是我国近年来重点治理的突出社会问题。本研究基于对重庆石村新生代青年“零彩礼”现象的田野调查,分析当地低额彩礼的形成机制及其面临的现实挑战。石村“不算彩礼”的共识促进了婚姻交换灵活多元的发展,相对于更具仪式性的婚礼花费、改口费和房产花费,彩礼因过于货币化和功利化而被排除在有意义的婚姻交换之外。自明清流传至今的传统习俗和社会主义新风尚共同塑造了当地礼俗传统,弱代际责任感下自由恋爱、代际和性别平等的情境化解了婚姻交换的偿付和资助功能,礼物模式的婚姻交换在仪式和日常中塑造着集体道德感,即使是在跨婚姻圈的新生代中也没有形成高额彩礼。但随着社会流动性和风险性增大,当地低额彩礼实践的维系正面临着跨区域文化冲突和彩礼抵押功能强化的挑战。
