    Alternative Route to Strong Interaction: Narrow Feshbach Resonance

    Full text link
    We show that a narrow resonance produces strong interaction effects far beyond its width on the side of the resonance where the bound state has not been formed. This is due to a resonance structure of its phase shift, which shifts the phase of a large number of scattering states by π\pi before the bound state emerges. As a result, the magnitude of the interaction energy when approaching the resonance on the "upper" and "lower" branch from different side of the resonance is highly asymmetric, unlike their counter part in wide resonances. Measurements of these effects are experimentally feasible.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

    Biocompatibility of an injectable biodegradable drug delivery system for prazosin was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats by histological studies after subcutaneous injection ofpoly(hydroxypropyl glutamate)-prazosin (PHPG-prazosin) conjugate particles. The studies showed that (1) the acute inflammatory response to this injectable biodegradable polymeric prodrug system was mild and of only short duration, (2) the chronic inflammation was minimal to zero, (3) the fibrous capsule could be seen starting from 7 days and became more prominent at longer time periods, (4) a collagen network was formed into the injection site after 21 days, (5) the macrophages and foreign giant cells reacted to the globules of conjugate particles, and (6) no adverse reactions were identified. Focal inflammation and the formation of the fibrous capsule around the injection site were the significant histological findings in the histopathological studies. Therefore, it is concluded that the biodegradable injectable PHPG-prazosin carbamate polymeric prodrug system is tissue biocompatible

    Factors Influencing the Enthusiasm to Disclose Environment Accounting Information -Econometric Analysis from SSE Data-

    Protection of the environment is one of the key issues for sustainable development in China, and it must be implemented by individual companies. It is an important field of study for economists to describe and analyze the enthusiasm of individual companies to protect environment. We chose typical companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) to describe and analyze their enthusiasm for environmental protection using the Probit model, and came to the conclusion that three factors influence the disclosure of the environmental accounting information (EAI), i.e., whether the company accepting the restriction of ISO14001 standards, the rate of increase in the primary business and the proportion of national capital. This is the first research about the environmental accounting information disclosure (EAID) of Chinese companies by the method of econometrics, and it is therefore significant in terms of both theory and practice

    Impact of Multiple Vegetation Covers on Surface Runoff and Sediment Yield in the Small Basin of Nverzhai, Hunan Province, China

    Vegetation plays a significant role in controlling soil erosion. However, the effects of each vegetation type on soil erosion have not been fully investigated. In order to explore the influence of multiple vegetation covers on soil erosion and surface runoff generation, 10 different vegetation types, typical of the Nverzhai small basin, have been selected for this study. Regional precipitation, surface runoff, and sediment yield were measured from 2007 to 2018. The wettest year recorded was 2012. Recorded data confirmed that July was the wettest month in this region while January and December were the driest months. Furthermore, surface runoff and sediment yield associated with different vegetation types gradually decreased after 2013, which is the quantification of the consequences due to afforestation processes started in this area. Surface runoff and sediment content recorded for the configuration of sloping farmland were the largest between the different investigated vegetation types. The smallest were the broad-leaved mixed forest, the coniferous mixed forest, and shrubs. Finally, a significant linear positive correlation was found between rainfall and surface runoff, as well as sediment yield (R2 = 0.75). This suggests that climate change implications could be limited by using the more efficient vegetation covering. This research indicates that the ground cover is a key element in controlling soil and water loss, as well as vegetation measures, with high ground cover (i.e., broad-leaved trees). These measures should be strongly recommended for soil erosion control and surface runoff reduction. Moreover, these outcomes can be very helpful for vegetation restoration and water conservation strategies if implemented by local authorities

    Relative Entropy in CFT

    Full text link
    By using Araki's relative entropy, Lieb's convexity and the theory of singular integrals, we compute the mutual information associated with free fermions, and we deduce many results about entropies for chiral CFT's which are embedded into free fermions, and their extensions. Such relative entropies in CFT are here computed explicitly for the first time in a mathematical rigorous way. Our results agree with previous computations by physicists based on heuristic arguments; in addition we uncover a surprising connection with the theory of subfactors, in particular by showing that a certain duality, which is argued to be true on physical grounds, is in fact violated if the global dimension of the conformal net is greater than 1.1.Comment: 31 page
