Multipole couplings in dielectric nanodisk arrays and their polarization effects.

In this paper, we study the optical properties of a planar array consisting of nanodisks using the coupled multipole model (CMM). As we demonstrate, this model shows its advantages in uncovering the complex inter-particle mutual interaction mechanisms, which are usually obscured by direct numerical simulations. We first propose a method to compute the polarizabilities of the individual non-spherical particles up to the magnetic quadrupole.

Learning Representations Using RNN Encoder-Decoder for Edge Security Control.

Whitelisting is a widely used method in the security field. However, due to the rapid development of the Internet, the traditional whitelisting method cannot promote the security of increasing Internet access. In recent years, with the success of machine learning in different areas, many researchers focus on the security of Internet access through machine learning methods.

Actions of four organic acids in radix isatidis on endotoxin-neutralization investigated by kinetic turbidimetric assay.

Objective: To investigate anti-endotoxin action of four OAs reacted with endotoxin by the LAL assay with KTA.

Methods: Using a incubating kinetic tube reader and kinetic turbidimetric assay (KTA), the concentration-response time curve of endotoxin reacted with limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) at 37 degrees C were obtained and the action of four organic acids (OAs) on it were investigated. The four OAs were benzoic acid, salicylic acid, syringic acid and 2-amino-benzoic acid from Radix isatidis.

Mechanism and symmetry properties of depolarization in weak scattering of light.

The mechanism and some symmetry properties of depolarization upon weak scattering of light from a class of random media were studied theoretically. Departing from the angular distribution of the degree of polarization, our derivations showed the mechanism that induces the change of polarization can be split into two parts of different nature. One is the vectorial effect that redistributes the original light components, and the other is the interaction effect of the medium that modulates the correlation properties of the incident field.

Correlation between intensity fluctuations of light scattered from a quasi-homogeneous random media.

The correlation between intensity fluctuations of light scattered from a quasi-homogeneous random media was analytically derived. We showed the correlation depends on spatial Fourier transforms of both the intensity and degree of spatial correlation of scattering potentials of the media, while the normalized correlation equals the squared modulus of the degree of spatial coherence of the scattered fields.

Inferring phylogenetic relationships avoiding forbidden rooted triplets.

To construct a phylogenetic tree or phylogenetic network for describing the evolutionary history of a set of species is a well-studied problem in computational biology. One previously proposed method to infer a phylogenetic tree/network for a large set of species is by merging a collection of known smaller phylogenetic trees on overlapping sets of species so that no (or as little as possible) branching information is lost. However, little work has been done so far on inferring a phylogenetic tree/network from a specified set of trees when in addition, certain evolutionary relationships among the species are known to be highly unlikely.
