Spectroscopy of -States in Quark Model and Baryon-Antibaryon Enhancements
We study the mass spectrum of the mesons both from
the quark model with triquark correlations and from common quark model with
colormagnetic interactions and with relative S-waves between quarks. Two
cluster configurations and
are considered. In the spectrum
we find rather stable states which have the same quantum number with particle
resonances which are corresponding to the enhancement,
enhancement and enhancement with
spin- or . This imply these enhancements are NOT
experimental artifacts. The color-spin-flavor structures of ,
, and enhancements are revealed. The
existence of spin-
enhancements is predicted.Comment: 45 pages, 5 figure
Lattice study on and X(3872)
Properties of charmonium are investigated in quenched
lattice QCD. The mass of is determined to be 3.80(3) GeV, which is
close to the mass of -wave charmonium and in agreement with
quark model predictions. The transition width of
is also obtained with a value keV. Since the possible
assignment to X(3872) has not been ruled out by experiments, our results help
to clarify the nature of X(3872).Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures. typos, grammatical errors and some references

Size-dependent calcium carbonate precipitation induced microbiologically in aerobic granules
Calcium and ash accumulation in aerobic granules treating organic wastewater was investigated systematically in this study. It was found that ash content of granular sludge reached 43% at stable state of reactor operation with calcium carbonate precipitation as the main cause. Since granular sludge in the reactor at the steady state was the mixture of granules with different sizes, granules in the reactor on operation days 90, 120 and 150, respectively, were sorted into 10 categories by size to study the inorganic substances. It was found that calcium was selectively enriched in granules and the precipitation of calcium carbonate was just dependent on granule size instead of operation duration at the steady state. More calcium carbonate was precipitated in bigger aerobic granules, but both calcium and ash contents reached stable values when granule size was bigger than 700 ?m. Analysis by X-ray diffractometer disclosed that aragonite was the only polymorph of calcium carbonate detected in aerobic granules with size bigger than 300 ?m. Scanning electron microscope revealed clearly for the first time that bundles of needle shaped aragonite was embedded in extracellular polymeric substances of aerobic granules. A mechanism on calcium carbonate precipitation was proposed to deepen the understanding of biomineralization
