A correlation between the order parameters of rigid solutes dissolved in two nematic solvents and in a mixture of them

The orientational data of four rigid solutes dissolved in the nematic solvents ZLI1132, EBBA and in a 55wt% ZLI1132 + EBBA mixture have been obtained from proton NMR spectra at different temperatures and used to find a relationship between the solute order in the two nematics and in their mixture. A crossed comparison of the data shows that a simple linear relation, where the normalized weights of the combination are coincident with the molar fractions of ZLI1132 and EBBA in the mixture, gives excellent agreement independently of the solutes and temperatures. Consideration is given to the possibility of a generalization of the results to any mixture of two nematics.     

Ethnic Preferences and Residential Segregation: Theoretical Explorations Beyond Detroit

We are strongly supportive of Fossett's theoretical approach and modeling methodology, which uses computational methods to perform thought experiments that generate compelling insights into the enigma of persistent residential segregation in the U.S. We also agree with his theoretical results, which challenge the prevailing view among demographers that institutional discrimination is the essential cause. However, we think he did not go far enough. Fossett limited his analysis to a narrow region of the parameter space that corresponded to conditions observed in one city at one time. This precludes generalization to other times and places and exploration of theoretically motivated “what if” scenarios that trespass beyond the Detroit city limits. When we extended the parameter space, we noticed two interesting results. First, Fossett's “paradox of weak minority preferences” requires qualification. Disproportionate in-group preferences among minorities are indeed segregation-promoting, not integration-promoting, but they generally have less impact on segregation than the in-group preferences of the majority. Second, not only are exclusionary practices and institutional discrimination not necessary for segregation (as Fossett demonstrates), we show that in certain regions of the parameter space they are not even sufficient.     

Noiseless independent signal and power amplification

We present a noiseless optical amplifier comprising a signal-amplifying feed-forward loop and a power-amplifying injection-locked laser. We demonstrate that the signal amplifier can attain a signal-transfer coefficient limited solely by the quantum efficiency of our in-loop photodetector and that we can independently amplify the optical power while leaving the normalized intensity-noise spectral density of the input field unchanged.

运用密度泛函活性理论的信息论方法研究苯并富烯衍生物的芳香性

文献中已有越来越多的芳香性体系被发现,同时也有越来越多的芳香性指标被提出来,但是如何解释芳香化合物稳定性的起源以及理解芳香性的本质仍然是当今理论化学中一个悬而未决的难题。运用我们新近提出的密度泛函活性理论信息论方法,不久前我们曾对一系列富烯衍生物进行了系统研究并得到了一个全新的认识。本文进一步探讨苯并富烯衍生物的芳香性行为,目的在于考察一个或多个苯环与富烯连接之后其芳香性发生变化的情况。运用香农熵,费舍尔信息,Ghosh-Berkowitz-Parr熵,Onicescu信息能,信息增益,以及相对Rényi熵六个信息量,和四种芳香指标,ASE,HOMA,FLU和NICS,我们系统地研究了信息量和芳香性指标在单、双、三苯并富烯衍生物中的相关性。我们发现,不管是否有苯环与富烯相连,芳香指标和信息量的交叉相关性都是一样的。这表明,虽然苯环本身具有芳香性,但苯环与富烯相连并不能改变富烯的芳香性与反芳香性本质。苯并富烯衍生物与富烯衍生物的芳香性和反芳香性一致。苯并富烯衍生物的芳香性和反芳香性完全取决于富烯本身的芳香性和反芳香性。这些结果为认识和理解复杂体系芳香性和反芳香性起源和本质将提供有益的启示。

Noise Characterization for Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Detectors

This work incorporates a review of the status, in Australia, of data analysis for gravitational wave detection using laser interferometers, within an overview of the present state of such research in the world generally. In this context, data analysis refers not so much to signal simulation as to what might be called the thorough process of noise characterization and the subsequent, quality-controlled signal extraction. To the extent that problems identified here arise for all currently planned instruments, there is necessarily a global component to the discussion presented. In Australia, there are unique circumstances, associated with attempting to carry out work in gravitational wave detection, which demand also a local aspect to the ensuing discussion.
