In this model, particles are represented by structures corresponding to geometric shapes of coupled quantum oscillators (IQuO). By the properties of IQuO one can define the electric charge and that of color of quarks. Showing the “aurea” (golden) triangular shape of all quarks, we manage to represent the geometric combinations of the nucleons, light mesons, and K-mesons. By the geometric shape of W-bosons, we represent the weak decay of pions and charged Kaons and neutral, highlighting in geometric terms the possibilities of decay in two and three pions of neutral Kaon and the transition to anti-Kaon. In conclusion, from this didactic representation, an in-depth and exhaustive phenomenology of hadrons emerges, which even manages to resolve some problematic aspects of the SM.展开更多

We propose a novel unsupervised feature selection method using Structured Self-Representation( SSR) by simultaneously taking into account the selfrepresentation property and local geometrical structure of features. Concretely,according to the inherent selfrepresentation property of features,the most representative features can be selected. Mean while,to obtain more accurate results,we explore local geometrical structure to constrain the representation coefficients to be close to each other if the features are close to each other. Furthermore,an efficient algorithm is presented for optimizing the objective function. Finally,experiments on the synthetic dataset and six benchmark real-world datasets,including biomedical data,letter recognition digit data and face image data,demonstrate the encouraging performance of the proposed algorithm compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.展开更多

The geometries are found to undergo a structural change from two-dimensional to three-dimensional structure when the cluster size n equals 3. On the basis of the obtained lowest-energy geometries, the size dependencies of cluster properties, such as averaged binding energy, fragmentation energy, second-order energy difference, HOMO–LUMO (highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) gap and chemical hardness, are discussed. In addition, natural population analysis indicates that the F atom in the most stable FSin cluster is recorded as being negative and the charges always transfer from Si atoms to the F atom in the FSin clusters.展开更多

Three different clean surface models have been considered. The results show that the surface terminated with one-layer F has the smallest relaxation and the lowest surface energy, which indicates this model is the most energetically favorable structure of MgF2(110) surface. Furthermore, the electronic properties are also discussed from the point of density of states and charge density. Analysis of electronic structure shows that the band gap of the surface is significantly narrowed with respect to the bulk. The electrons of the surface exhibit strong locality and larger effective mass.展开更多

This fault strikes mainly northeast or northeast to north,dipping southeast,and extends over a length of 15km. It is a major geological and geomorphological margin,controlling the neotectonic movement in this region. On the southeast side of Wanquan fault are the Late Quaternary unconsolidated deposits,forming a basin or deposition; but on the other side is Mesozoic volcano debris,forming lower-mountains and hills. Wanquan fault is a mid- to-high-angle normal fault dipping southeast. This fault was more active in the Quaternary. Since the middle-late part of the alate Pleistocene,the average rate with vertical slip of a single fault is over 0. 03 ~ 0. 3mm /a,but the fault has multiple slipping surfaces,and a total rate with vertical slip will be estimated.展开更多

This form belongs to one of two different states of the structure of the quark configurations making up the neutron (nucleon): first, an ordinary form Ψ<sub>o</sub>, while the second is an “anomalous” form Ψ<sub>a</sub>, difficult to detect and decay. If the ordinary configuration is present in everyone nuclear processes, to strong and weak interactions, and in diffusion processes, the anomalous form can emerge, in casual way and probabilistic, in some processes of fusion with production of neutrons and can be highlighted in some experiments as those in “bottle” and in “beam”, see the anomaly of the neutron lifetime. We show that the anomalous form Ψ<sub>a</sub> can be highlighted in the coupling between a dipoles’ lattice of virtual bosons W and the neutron (nucleon) because the neutron into anomalous configuration does not decays. Finally, we interpret the anomalous neutron as a “dark” neutron, presenting, so, the dark matter as an anomalous form of hadron matter.展开更多

文摘Rational design of oxygen evolution reaction(OER)catalysts at low cost would greatly benefit the economy.Taking advantage of earth-abundant elements Si,Co and Ni,we produce a unique-structure where cobalt-nickel silicate hydroxide[Co_(2.5)Ni_(0.5)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4)]is vertically grown on a reduced graphene oxide(rGO)support(CNS@rGO).This is developed as a low-cost and prospective OER catalyst.Compared to cobalt or nickel silicate hydroxide@rGO(CS@rGO and NS@rGO,respectively)nanoarrays,the bimetal CNS@rGO nanoarray exhibits impressive OER performance with an overpotential of 307 mV@10 mA cm^(-2).This value is higher than that of CS@rGO and NS@rGO.The CNS@rGO nanoarray has an overpotential of 446 mV@100 mA cm^(-2),about 1.4 times that of the commercial RuO_(2)electrocatalyst.The achieved OER activity is superior to the state-of-the-art metal oxides/hydroxides and their derivatives.The vertically grown nanostructure and optimized metal-support electronic interactions play an indispensable role for OER performance improvement,including a fast electron transfer pathway,short proton/electron diffusion distance,more active metal centers,as well as optimized dualatomic electron density.Taking advantage of interlay chemical regulation and the in-situ growth method,the advanced-structural CNS@rGO nanoarrays provide a new horizon to the rational and flexible design of efficient and promising OER electrocatalysts.

文摘Exploiting high-efficiency Ni-based materials for electrocatalytic urea oxidation reaction(UOR) is critical for urea-related technologies.The catalytic site density,intrinsic activity,charge transfer,and mass diffusion determine overall electrocatalytic efficiency.Simultaneous modulation over the above four factors promises advanced electrocatalysis,yet challenging.Herein we propose a systematic regulation tactic over composition and geometric structure,constructing a nanocomposite comprising Mn doped Ni_(3)N nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide(rGO/Mn-Ni_(3)N),achieving elegant integration of four design principles into one,thereby eminently boosting UOR.Particularly,Mn doping in Ni_(3)N can modulate electronic state to induce intrinsic activity regulation.Combining metallic Mn-Ni_(3)N with rGO to engineer hierarchical architecture not only promotes charge transfer,but also enriches active site population.Intriguingly,improved hydrophilicity could impart better electrolyte penetration and gas escape.Consequently,such system-optimized rGO/Mn-Ni_(3)N demonstrates state-of-the-art-level UOR electrocatalysis.This work offers a novel paradigm to create advanced catalysts via systematic and integrated modulation.
文摘To explain the anomaly (τ<sub>b</sub> ≠ τ<sub>f</sub>) of the neutron lifetime τ in some experiments, in “bottle” τ<sub>b</sub> and in “beam” τ<sub>f</sub>, we resort to an anomalous form of the neutron n<sub>a</sub>. This form belongs to one of two different states of the structure of the quark configurations making up the neutron (nucleon): first, an ordinary form Ψ<sub>o</sub>, while the second is an “anomalous” form Ψ<sub>a</sub>, difficult to detect and decay. If the ordinary configuration is present in everyone nuclear processes, to strong and weak interactions, and in diffusion processes, the anomalous form can emerge, in casual way and probabilistic, in some processes of fusion with production of neutrons and can be highlighted in some experiments as those in “bottle” and in “beam”, see the anomaly of the neutron lifetime. We show that the anomalous form Ψ<sub>a</sub> can be highlighted in the coupling between a dipoles’ lattice of virtual bosons W and the neutron (nucleon) because the neutron into anomalous configuration does not decays. Finally, we interpret the anomalous neutron as a “dark” neutron, presenting, so, the dark matter as an anomalous form of hadron matter.

文摘Available online Immunoglobulins G(IgGs)are Y-shaped globular proteins,however,their high flexibility and heterogeneity pose great challenges to their structure and conformation determinations.Geometric structure of IgG closely correlates to its biofunctions,such as the antibody escape of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)could attribute to the distance mismatch between the ends of two Fab arms(antigen-binding sites)and envelope glycoprotein spikes on virion surface.Herein,we report the first use of mobility capillary electrophoresis(MCE)and native mass spectrometry(nMS)to resolve the internal geometric structure and conformation of an IgG(trastuzumab)in solution phase.After proteolysis,the ellipsoid dimensions of IgG and its subunits were measured by MCE-nMS experiments.IgG was then reconstructed,in which the sizes and relative positions of these three subunits in three-dimensional space were characterized.It was found that the two Fab arms have an angle of~102.1°and a distance of~11.0 nm between the two antigen-binding sites under native condition,and the Fc arm was tilted~16.0°towards one of the Fab arms.Fc was not on the plane of Fab-Fab,but has an angle of no larger than 103.1°.Under acidic environment(pH 3.0),each subunit of the IgG would unfold into larger dimensions,and the angles between these subunits also change.With great potential for tumor imaging and therapy,the structure of F(ab')_(2)fragments was also measured and validated by molecular dynamic simulation.It was found that the electrostatic force among these three subunits and steric hindrance stemming from Fc help maintaining the angle between two Fab arms.
