The results of the new concept of coastal sea circulation are demonstrated by numerical simulations for the first time.The numerical experiments in three types of rectangular model seas illustrate the dependence of circulation on tidal phases due to the convectively nonlinear effect which is estimated by a newly defined drift dispersion index.Then,the present theory is applied in the Bohai Sea of China.At the Bohai Straits and the Huanghe River mouth area the circulation direction even reverses owing to different initial tidal phases which shows that the theory copes with nonlinearity well.The calculated M2 tide-induced residual circulation shows that a clockwise gyre exists in the center of an anticlockwise gyre in the central Bohai Sea due to the topographic features.In the Bohai Gulf the tide induced circulation shows a 3D structure with outflow at the surface and the inflow at the bottom which can partly explains the spread of the Huanghe River fresh water out of the Bohai Gulf and the inflow of the sediment from the Huanghe River.
Mesoporous 1,4-phenylene-silica nanorings were prepared using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and (S)-2-methyl-l-butanol as a chiral dopant in concentrated aqueous NH3 solutions. Transmission electron mi- croscopy images of the samples indicated that the nanorings were formed by bending nanorods 360°. With increasing the stirring speed or the (S)-2-methyl-l-butanol/CTAB molar ratio, the morphologies of mesoporous 1,4-phenylene-silicas changed from helical nanofibers to nanorings, and then to nano-saddles. Circular dichroism spectra of these hybrid silicas indicated that they were chiral.
We propose a scheme for the realization of optical transparency by using a periodically modulated optical coupler with losses in one waveguide. We discover that the increase of the transparency can be achieved only by varying the parameters of modulation, and such modulation-enhanced transmission is the consequence of phase transition of the quasi-energy spectrum. Our findings offer an efficient way to manipulate light transmission in realistic dissipative systems.
In recent years there has been a significant interest in peer-to-peer (P2P) environments in the community of data management. However, almost all work, so far, is focused on exact query processing in current P2P data systems. The autonomy of peers also is not considered enough. In addition, the system cost is very high because the information publishing method of shared data is based on each document instead of document set. In this paper, abstract indices (AbIx) are presented to implement content-based approximate queries in centralized, distributed and structured P2P data systems. It can be used to search as few peers as possible but get as many returns satisfying users' queries as possible on the guarantee of high autonomy of peers. Also, abstract indices have low system cost, can improve the query processing speed, and support very frequent updates and the set information publishing method. In order to verify the effectiveness of abstract indices, a simulator of 10,000 peers, over 3 million documents is made, and several metrics are proposed. The experimental results show that abstract indices work well in various P2P data systems.
The frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and NHOMO) of CF2BrCl molecule have been firstly investigated by (e,2e) electron momentum spectroscopy. The experimental momentum profiles are compared with the theoretical profiles employing Hartree-Fock and density functional theory with 6-31G and 6-311+G(d) basis sets. Both HF and DFT calculations using 6-311+G(d) basis set can well describe the experiment, whereas those calculated using 6-31G basis set largely underestimate the experiment at the low momentum region. Furthermore, orbital electron density images show that HOMO and NHOMO have a mixed character of the bromine and chlorine lone pairs.
