Abstract:The effects of transverse electric field on the energy levels of electron and heavy hole, exciton binding energy and excitonic absorption spectra of GaAs parabolic quantum wire are theoretically investigated in detail. The results indicate that the electron and hole energy levels, exciton binding energy, excitonic absorption coefficient and absorption energy becomes smaller with the increase of electric field. That is more significant at the condition of weaker parabolic confinement potential. The phenomena can be explained by the separation of overlap integral of the electron and hole at the ground states. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:This study was carried out to develop the application of modified carbon fiber electrode in environmental detection, by which chromium (III) ion in water could be electrochemically detected. The modified carbon fiber electrode manifested a linear response within the range of 1.9 × 10-6-4.6 × 10-4 mol L-1 (R = 0.9939) and the detection limit was 7.9 × 10-7 mol L-1. The effect factors were studied to reveal the optimal conditions in the detection of chromium (III) in water, such as pH of total ionic strength adjustment buffer, the concentration of calix[4]resorcinarene, sweep cycles, and so on. The modified carbon fiber electrode, the diameter of which was about 7 μm, was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Also, the proper mechanism was discussed. The identification of chromium (III) was mainly attributed to the cavity of the calix[4]resorcinarene that the chromium (III) ion could enter into the inner of calix[4]resorcinarene because of the particular structure of calix[4]resorcinarene. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:We analyze the magnetic properties through two-orbital Hubbard model with the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) interaction in the iron-based superconductors. With the help of the Ising approximation for the Hund's coupling between the itinerant electrons and the localized spins, we give a self-consistent account of the various magnetic orders observed in pnictides and the pairing symmetry. We also calculate the local density of states (LDOS) of the vortex state when a magnetic field is applied. The LDOS without SOC shows no resonant peak at the vortex core center in the superconducting state, while it shows an obvious resonant peak when SOC is applied. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:In this paper, we develop a theoretical framework about spatial patterns in a three-species predatorpreymutualist system with cross-diffusion. We concentrate on three aspects of Turing pattern formation: (1) what conditions enable the occurrence of Turing patterns? (2) what are the underlying mechanisms? (3) what are the corresponding configurations? For the first two questions, by use of the stability analysis for the positive uniform solution and the LeraySchauder degree theory, we prove that under some conditions, the system admits at least a nonhomogeneous stationary solution. For the third question, we carry out numerical simulations for a Turing pattern, and we show that the configurations of Turing pattern are stable spotted patterns, which resemble a real ecosystem. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:This work presents an extension of the fluid approximation to the diffusion approximation for a PEPA model. The diffusion approximation leads to a reactiondiffusion system in which the spatial or location information is considered, while it is ignored in the fluid approximation approach. The fundamental results for the solution of the reactiondiffusion equations, such as the existence, uniqueness, positivity and convergence, have been established. Numerical simulations are also given to illustrate the analytical results. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:To improve transfection and expression efficiency of target gene, especially under cancer anoxic microenvironment, we have developed pHRE-Egr1-EGFP/PEI-MZF-NPs nanosystem, in which pHRE-Egr1-EGFP, eukaryotic gene expression plasmid, is constructed by combining radiation promoter Egr1 with anoxia induction components (HRE), forming anoxic radiation double sensitive HRE/Egr1 promoter to activate reporter gene EGFP expression. MZF-NPs (Mn 0.5 Zn0.5Fe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles), obtained by coprecipitation method, are coated with cation poly(ethylenimine) (PEI). We transferred pHRE-Egr1-EGFP into hepatocellular carcinoma Bel-7402 cells, using PEI-MZF-NPs as the carrier and tested some relevant efficacy. The results show that PEI-MZF-NPs have good DNA-binding ability, protection ability, release ability, little toxicity, and high transfection efficiency, obviously superior to those of the liposome method and electricity perforation method. Moreover, the expression level of EGFP gene induced by anoxia and radiation was significantly higher than that of single radiation activation. It is therefore concluded that HRE/Egr1 can induce and improve target gene expression efficiency in cancer anoxic microenvironment, and that PEI-MZF-NPs can be used as a novel nonviral gene vector which offers a viable approach to the mediated radiation gene therapy of cancer. © 2011 Mei Lin et al.

Abstract:Using U.S. NCEP / NCAR monthly mean reanalysis data (2.5×2.5) and daily precipitation data at 26 weather stations in Tarim River Basin from 1960 to 2009, spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of precipitation over Tarim River Basin (TRB) were analyzed. The results show that: 1) The spatial distribution of precipitation in TRB was in contrast with that in China, showing a gradual increase trend from southeast to northwest with some variation in different seasons and the year with more (less) rainfall; 2)The annual change in precipitation over mountains, plains and five sub-regions were likely consistent, and the decadal mutation of precipitation in around 1987 and 2003 appeared at almost all regions; 3)During the period of 1978 to 2003 in which global warming was the most significant, precipitation over mountain showed an clear increasing trend, while the precipitation over plain showed decreasing trend. It can be believed that the complexity of spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation over TRB implied a variety of precipitation mechanisms in this area, and the warm and wet evidence in western Tianshan Mountains may be the signal that global warming is accelerating the local water cycle. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:In order to certain the landscape pattern and ecological security in Zhangjiagang, the landscape characteristics of urbanization phase and suburbanization phase were analyzed, using remotely sensed imageries between 1991-2006, land use maps and GIS technology, combined with urban-suburban-rural gradient research. Based on the landscape changing and its driving force analysis, the regional Cultivated Land Instability Degree (CLID) of 2004 was defined and calculated. The ecological security of Zhangjiagang between 2003-2007 was also assessed to research the impacts of urbanization on urban ecological security. The urbanization process in Zhangjiagang matched the cyclic model and the diffusion wave theory and for casted the future land use/cover using CA Model. The effects of urbanization appeared in urban areas firstly, and then in rural areas. Two kinds of urban expansion patterns were detected in Zhangjiagang. The first one was from edge-expansion to infilling growth, the second one was from edge-expansion to spontaneous growth, and then to edge-expansion. Among all the agricultural ecological deficit, the largest proportion was the grassland ecological deficit, and agricultural ecological deficit increased by 16.22% from 2003 to 2007. This study had proved that the agricultural development was not sustainable in Zhangjiagang in recent years. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:In this paper, we analyze the performance of dither modulation (DM) against the composite attacks including valumetric scaling, additive noise and constant change. The analyses are developed under the assumptions that the host vector and noise vector are mutually independent and both of them have independently and identically distributed components. We derive the general expressions of the probability density functions of several concerned signals and the decoding error probability. The specific analytical results are presented for the case of generalized Gaussian host signal. Numerical simulations confirm the validity of the given theoretical analyses. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
