A new DC micro-grid system using renewable energy and electric vehicles for smart energy delivery

This paper proposes a new DC micro-grid system, which fully utilizes the renewable energy and electric vehicle for smart energy delivery. The proposed DC grid incorporates the AC supply module, standby energy module, renewable energy module, and storage energy module together, to execute the energy distribution. Hence, this grid system can offer a high quality power for the three types of loads, namely 110V AC single-phase output, 48V DC output, and 100V DC output. The control strategy of the grid system for performing smart energy delivery will be discussed in the full paper. The simulation results will be also given to verify the four operation modes of the grid system.published_or_final_versionThe 2010 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC), Lille, France, 1-3 September 2010.

Measurements of J/ψJ/\psi and ψ(2S)\psi(2S) decays into ΛΛˉπ0\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\pi^0 and ΛΛˉη\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\eta

Using 58 million $J/\psi$ and 14 million $\psi(2S)$ events collected by the BESII detector at the BEPC, branching fractions or upper limits for the decays $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S) \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\pi^0$ and $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\eta$ are measured. For the isospin violating decays, the upper limits are determined to be ${\cal B}(J/\psi \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\pi^0)<6.4\times 10^{-5}$ and ${\cal B}(\psi(2S) \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\pi^0)<4.9\times 10^{-5}$ at the 90% confidence level. The isospin conserving process $J/\psi \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\eta$ is observed for the first time, and its branching fraction is measured to be ${\cal B}(J/\psi \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\eta)=(2.62\pm 0.60\pm 0.44)\times 10^{-4}$, where the first error is statistical and the second one is systematic. No $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\eta$ signal is observed in $\psi(2S)$ decays, and ${\cal B}(\psi(2S) \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}\eta)<1.2\times 10^{-4}$ is set at the 90% confidence level. Branching fractions of $J/\psi$ decays into $\Sigma^+ \pi^- bar{\Lambda}$ and $\bar{\Sigma}^- \pi^+ \Lambda$ are also reported, and the sum of these branching fractions is determined to be ${\cal B}(J/\psi \to \Sigma^+\pi^- \bar{\Lambda} + c.c.)=(1.52\pm 0.08\pm 0.16)\times 10^{-3}$.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figures.

$K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ final states are studied using a sample of $14\times10^6$ $\psi(2S)$ decays collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESII) at the Beijing Electron-Position Collider. The branching fractions of $\psi(2S)$ decays to $K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, $\omega K^+ K^-$, $\omega f_0(1710)$, $K^{\ast}(892)^0 K^- \pi^+\pi^0+c.c.$, $K^{\ast}(892)^{+} K^- \pi^+\pi^- +c.c.$, $K^{\ast}(892)^{+} K^- \rho^0+c.c.$ and $K^{\ast}(892)^0 K^-\rho^+ + c.c.$ are determined. The first two agree with previous measurements, and the last five are first measurements.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figure

Direct Measurements of the Branching Fractions for Inclusive K±K^\pm and Inclusive Semileptonic Decays of D+D^+ and D0D^0 Mesons

With singly-tagged $\bar D$ samples selected from the data collected at and around 3.773 GeV with the BESII detector at the BEPC collider, we have measured the branching fractions for the inclusive $K^\pm$ decays of $D^+$ and $D^0$ mesons, which are $BF(D^+\to K^-X) = (24.7 \pm 1.3 \pm 1.2)$, $BF(D^+\to K^+X) = (6.1 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.4)$, $BF(D^0\to K^-X) = (57.8 \pm 1.6 \pm 3.2)$ and $BF(D^0\to K^+X) = (3.5 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.3)$, respectively. We have also measured the branching fractions for the inclusive semileptonic decays of $D^+$ and $D^0$ mesons to be $BF(D^+ \to e^+ X)=(15.2 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.8)$ and $BF(D^0 \to e^+ X) =(6.3 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.4)$. These yield the ratio of their partial widths to be $\Gamma(D^+ \to e^+X)/\Gamma(D^0 \to e^+X)=0.95 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.07$.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

Using the data sample of about 33 pb-1 collected at and around 3.773 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider, we have studied inclusive K0~/K0 and K*(892)+- decays of D0 and D+ mesons. The branching fractions for the inclusive K0~/K0 and K*(892)- decays are measured to be BF(D0 to K0~/K0 X)=(47.6+-4.8+-3.0)%, BF(D+ to K0~/K0 X)=(60.5+-5.5+-3.3)%, BF(D0 to K*- X)=(15.3+- 8.3+- 1.9)% and BF(D+ to K*- X)=(5.7+- 5.2+- 0.7)%. The upper limits of the branching fractions for the inclusive K*(892)+ decays are set to be BF(D0 to K*+ X)<3.6% and BF(D+ to K*+ X) <20.3% at 90% confidence level

Observation of a near-threshold enhancement in the \omega\phi mass spectrum from the doubly OZI suppressed decay J/\psi \to \gamma \omega \phi

An enhancement near threshold is observed in the \omega \phi invariant mass spectrum from the doubly OZI suppressed decays of J/\psi \to \gamma \omega \phi, based on a sample of 5.8 X 10^7 J/\psi events collected with the BESII detector. A partial wave analysis shows that this enhancement favors J^P = 0^+, and its mass and width are M = 1812^{+19}_{-26} (stat) +- 18 (syst) MeV/c^2 and \Gamma = 105+-20 (stat) +- 28$(syst) MeV/c^2. The product branching fraction is determined to be B(J/\psi\to \gamma X) B(X\to\omega\phi) = (2.61 +- 0.27 (stat) +- 0.65$ (syst)) X 10^{-4}.Comment: Accepted by PRL, the version to be appeared in PR

Expression of Caveolin-1 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma by quantum dots

Quantum dots (QDs) are a new class of fluorescent probes to detect biomarker expression. The role of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the expression profile of Cav-1 in carcinogenesis and development of TSCC by QDs immunofluorescence histochemistry (QDs-IHC) and discuss the relationship between the Cav-1 expression and the clinicopathological outcomes. QDs-IHC was used to detect Cav-1 expression in tissue microarrays including normal tongue mucosa (NTM; n=10), hyperplastic tongue mucosa (HTM; n=10), tongue pre-cancer lesions (TPL; n=15) and primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma (PTSCC; n=61). Correlations between the Cav-1 expression and clinicopathologic variables were evaluated statistically. Cells positive for Cav-1 were clearly detected and bright images were obtained in a fine, granular pattern at the cell membrane and cytoplasm using QDs-IHC. The rate of Cav-1 immunoreactivity increased progressively from NTM (0%), HTM (0%), TPL (36%) to PTSCC (74%). When compared with each other, there was statistical significance among PTSCC, TPL and NTM as well as among PTSCC, TPL and HTM. Moreover, Cav-1 expression level in PTSCC was correlated positively with clinical stage and histologic grade. QDs-IHC could accurately detect protein location in tongue mucosa. An increased expression of Cav-1 in the stepwise carcinogenesis from NTM, HTM, TPL to PTSCC suggested that Cav-1 might be an oncogene in the development of tongue squamous cell carcinoma
