Indoor environment can be more comfortable by using radiant cooling system, but the condensation may occur easily. This paper analyzes the condensation process in radiant cooling system, and proposes ...the new concept of “dehumidification capacity per unit mass of fresh air”, which is the basic index to judge whether radiant cooling system should be used. Dehumidification capacities in three typical air condition states are calculated, and many kinds of buildings and rooms are analyzed and judged by this new index. Therefore, “dehumidification capacity per unit mass of fresh air” can be use to judge suitable application sites of radiant cooling system.
The density distributions of large nuclei are typically modeled with a Woods-Saxon distribution characterized by a radius \(R_{0}\) and skin depth \(a\). Deformation parameters \(\beta\) are then ...introduced to describe non-spherical nuclei using an expansion in spherical harmonics \(R_{0}(1+\beta_2Y^0_2+\beta_4Y^0_4)\). But when a nucleus is non-spherical, the \(R_{0}\) and \(a\) inferred from electron scattering experiments that integrate over all nuclear orientations cannot be used directly as the parameters in the Woods-Saxon distribution. In addition, the \(\beta_2\) values typically derived from the reduced electric quadrupole transition probability B(E2)\(\uparrow\) are not directly related to the \(\beta_2\) values used in the spherical harmonic expansion. B(E2)\(\uparrow\) is more accurately related to the intrinsic quadrupole moment \(Q_{0}\) than to \(\beta_2\). One can however calculate \(Q_0\) for a given \(\beta_2\) and then derive B(E2)\(\uparrow\) from \(Q_0\). In this paper we calculate and tabulate the \(R_0\), \(a\), and \(\beta_2\) values that when used in a Woods-Saxon distribution, will give results consistent with electron scattering data. We then present calculations of the eccentricity \(\varepsilon_2\) and \(\varepsilon_3\) with the new and old parameters. We demonstrate that \(\varepsilon_3\) is particularly sensitive to \(a\) and argue that using the incorrect value of \(a\) has important implications for the extraction of \(\eta/s\) from the QGP created in Heavy Ion collisions.
Interspecific hybridization is an important approach to improve cultivated peanut varieties. Cytological markers such as tandem repeats will facilitate alien gene introgression in peanut. Telomeric ...repeats have also been frequently used in chromosome research. Most plant telomeric repeats are(TTTAGGG)n that are mainly distributed at the chromosome ends, although interstitial telomeric repeats(ITRs) are also commonly identified. In this study, the telomeric repeat was chromosomally localized in 10 Arachis species through sequential GISH(genomic in situ hybridization) and FISH(fluorescence in situ hybridization) combined with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI) staining. Six ITRs were identified such as in the centromeric region of chromosome Bi5 in Arachis ipa?nsis, pericentromeric regions of chromosomes As5 in A. stenosperma, Bho7 in A. hoehnei and Av5 in A. villosa, nucleolar organizer regions of chromosomes As3 in A. stenosperma and Adi3 in A. diogoi, subtelomeric regions of chromosomes Bho9 in A. hoehnei and Adu7 in A. duranensis, and telomeric region of chromosome Es7 in A. stenophylla. The distributions of the telomeric repeat, 5S r DNA, 45 S r DNA and DAPI staining pattern provided not only ways of distinguishing different chromosomes, but also karyotypes with a higher resolution that could be used in evolutionary genome research. The distribution of telomeric repeats, 5S r DNA and 45 S r DNA sites in this study, along with inversions detected on the long arms of chromosomes Kb10 and Bho10, indicated frequent chromosomal rearrangements during evolution of Arachis species.
Abstract We report a new measurement of the production of electrons from open heavy-flavor hadron decays (HFEs) at mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.7) in Au+Au collisions at s NN $$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ = ...200 GeV. Invariant yields of HFEs are measured for the transverse momentum range of 3.5 < p T < 9 GeV/c in various configurations of the collision geometry. The HFE yields in head-on Au+Au collisions are suppressed by approximately a factor of 2 compared to that in p + p collisions scaled by the average number of binary collisions, indicating strong interactions between heavy quarks and the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. Comparison of these results with models provides additional tests of theoretical calculations of heavy quark energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma.
Abstract We report on the measurement of the Central Exclusive Production of charged particle pairs h + h − (h = π, K, p) with the STAR detector at RHIC in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} ...$$ = 200 GeV. The charged particle pairs produced in the reaction pp → p′ + h + h − + p′ are reconstructed from the tracks in the central detector and identified using the specific energy loss and the time of flight method, while the forward-scattered protons are measured in the Roman Pot system. Exclusivity of the event is guaranteed by requiring the transverse momentum balance of all four final-state particles. Differential cross sections are measured as functions of observables related to the central hadronic final state and to the forward-scattered protons. They are measured in a fiducial region corresponding to the acceptance of the STAR detector and determined by the central particles’ transverse momenta and pseudorapidities as well as by the forward-scattered protons’ momenta. This fiducial region roughly corresponds to the square of the four-momentum transfers at the proton vertices in the range 0.04 GeV2 < −t 1 , −t 2 < 0.2 GeV2, invariant masses of the charged particle pairs up to a few GeV and pseudorapidities of the centrally-produced hadrons in the range |η| < 0.7. The measured cross sections are compared to phenomenological predictions based on the Double Pomeron Exchange (DPE) model. Structures observed in the mass spectra of π + π − and K + K − pairs are consistent with the DPE model, while angular distributions of pions suggest a dominant spin-0 contribution to π + π − production. For π + π − production, the fiducial cross section is extrapolated to the Lorentz-invariant region, which allows decomposition of the invariant mass spectrum into continuum and resonant contributions. The extrapolated cross section is well described by the continuum production and at least three resonances, the f 0(980), f 2(1270) and f 0(1500), with a possible small contribution from the f 0(1370). Fits to the extrapolated differential cross section as a function of t 1 and t 2 enable extraction of the exponential slope parameters in several bins of the invariant mass of π + π − pairs. These parameters are sensitive to the size of the interaction region.
