We investigate the neutral Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model in explicit CP violation scenario. Within the context of the effective potential formalism, the masses of the neutral Higgs bosons at the one-loop level are calculated by taking into account the contributions of the following loops of ordinary particles and superpartners: top quark, the scalar top quarks, botto...

Recently, the polymeric micro-fluidic biochip, often called LOC (lab-on-a-chip), has been focused as a cheap, rapid and simplified method to replace the existing biochemical laboratory works. It becomes possible to form miniaturized lab functionalities on a chip with the development of MEMS technologies. The micro-fluidic chips contain many micro-channels for the flow of sample and reagents, mi...

The Loess Plateau in the northern part of Shanxi Province has uneven rainfall and large evaporation, so droughts often occur. drought restricted development local planting industry economy. Micro sprinkler irrigation advantages strong adaptability, saving water, labor land, increasing production, preventing salinization, which is very suitable for this area. This micro-sprinkler design carried ...

In the first paper in this series we presented a typical set of galactic rotation curves associated with the conformal invariant fourth order theory of gravity which has recently been advanced by Mannheim and Kazanas as a candidate alternative to the standard second order Einstein theory. Reasonable agreement with data was obtained for four representative galaxies without the need for any non-l...

Traditional idea generation techniques based on customer input usually collect information on new product needs from a random or typical set of customers. The “lead user process” takes a different approach. It collects information about both needs and solutions from users at the leading edges of the target market, as well as from users in other markets that face similar problems in a more extre...

The lattice of the set partitions of [n] ordered by refinement is studied. Suppose r partitions p1, . . . , pr are chosen independently and uniformly at random. The probability that the coarsest refinement of all pi ’s is the finest partition {1}, . . . , {n} is shown to approach 0 for r = 2, and 1 for r ≥ 3. The probability that the finest coarsening of all pi ’s is the one-block partition is ...

Internal wave packets propagating vertically in the oceanic thermocline are investigated with numerical simulations. For a typical set of environmental and packet parameters, it is shown that linear dispersion will have a significant effect on the spreading and decay in amplitude of these packets. Sufficiently strong packets are shown to generate turbulence that forms a continuous ‘scar’ of sma...

The investigation of a two-phase flow in porous media has significant implications for wide range applications. Previous research focused on exploring the variations and phase fields using experimental numerical methods. However, complex structure introduces many uncertainties that can impact outcomes. In recent years, some scholars have tried to study dynamic mechanics through typical structur...

Quantum data compression is one of the most fundamental tasks in quantum information theory[1, 2]. Schumacher first provided a tight bound (equal to the von Neumann entropy of the source) to which quantum information may be compressed[3]. From then on, many compression schemes have been proposed[4–13]. In this paper we will consider the universal quantum data compression in the case that we onl...

The development of new hybrid microsystems needs new technologies which are able to perform assembly of small micro-objects. Now, the current micromanipulation technologies are still unreliable for micro-objects which typical size is down to hundred micrometers. Consequently, the study and the development of innovative artificial micro-object manipulation strategies in these dimensions are part...
