Effects of the interaction between dark energy and dark matter on cosmological parameters
We examine the effects of possible phenomenological interactions between dark energy and dark matter on cosmological parameters and their efficiency in solving the coincidence problem. We work with two simple parameterizations of the dynamical dark energy equation of state and the constant dark energy equation of state. Using observational data coming from the new 182 Gold type Ia supernova samples, the shift parameter of the Cosmic Microwave Background given by the three-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe observations and the baryon acoustic oscillation measurement from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we perform a statistical joint analysis of different forms of phenomenological interaction between dark energy and dark matter.

Probing the curvature of the Universe from supernova measurement
We study the possibility to probe the spatial geometry of the Universe by supernova measurement. We illustrate with an accelerating universe model with infinite-volume extra dimensions, for which the 1σ level supernova results indicate that the Universe is closed.

Various types of phase transitions in the AdS soliton background
We study the basic holographic insulator and superconductor phase transition in the AdS soliton background by generalizing the spontaneous breaking of a global U(1) symmetry to occur via Stuckelberg mechanism. We construct the soliton solutions with backreaction and examine the effects of the backreaction on the condensation of the scalar hair in the generalized Stuckelberg Lagrangian. We disclose rich physics in various phase transitions. In addition to the AdS soliton configuration, we also examine the property of the phase transition in the AdS black hole background.

Different Quantum Entropies for Two Kinds of Extreme Two-Dimensional Lowe–Strominger Black Holes*
It is shown that both the classical entropy of two-dimensional extremal Lowe–Strominger black hole and the quantum entropy of the scalar field in the background of this black hole are different by using Hawking's treatment as wel as Zaslavskii's treatment respectively. This result supports our previous suggestion that there are two kinds of extreme black holes in the nature. A new divergent term emerges in the quantum entropy in Zaslavskii's treatment and its physical meaning has been discussed.

Dark Energy: Relating the Evolutions of the Universe from the Past to the Future
Using the evolution history of the universe, one can make constraint on the parameter space of dynamic dark energy models. We discuss two different parameterized dark energy models. Our results further restrict the combined constraints obtained from supernova and the first-year Wilkinson-microwave-anisotropy-probe observations. From the allowed parameter space, it is found that our universe will experience an eternal acceleration. We also estimate the bound on the physically relevant regions both in the re-inflationary and inflationary phases.

Constraints on smoothness parameter and dark energy using observational H(z) data
With large-scale homogeneity, the universe is locally inhomogeneous, clustering into stars, galaxies and larger structures. Such property is described by the smoothness parameter α which is defined as the proportion of matter in the form of intergalactic medium. If we consider the inhomogeneities over a small scale, there should be modifications of the cosmological distances compared to a homogenous model. Dyer and Roeder developed a second-order ordinary differential equation (D-R equation) that describes the angular diameter distance-redshift relation for inhomogeneous cosmological models. Furthermore, we may obtain the D-R equation for observational H(z) data (OHD). The density-parameter ΩM, the state of dark energy ω, and the smoothness-parameter α are constrained by a set of OHD in a spatially flat ΛCDM universe as well as a spatially flat XCDM universe. By using a χ2 minimization method, we get α = 0.81+0.19−0.20 and ΩM = 0.32+0.12−0.06 at the 1σ confidence level. If we assume a Gaussian prior of ΩM = 0.26 ± 0.1, we get α = 0.93+0.07−0.19 and ΩM = 0.31+0.06−0.05. For the XCDM model, α is constrained to α ≥ 0.80 but ω is weakly constrained around −1, where ω describes the equation of state of the dark energy (pX = ωρX). We conclude that OHD constrains the smoothness parameter more effectively than the data of SNe Ia and compact radio sources.

THE MASS FUNCTION OF DARK MATTER HALOES IN A COSMOLOGICAL MODEL WITH A RUNNING PRIMORDIAL POWER SPECTRUM
We present the first study on the mass functions of Jenkins et al. (J01) and an estimate of their corresponding largest virialized dark halos in the Universe for a variety of dark-energy cosmological models with a running spectral index. Compared with the PL–CDM model, the RSI–CDM model can raise the mass abundance of dark halos for small mass halos at lower redshifts, but it is not apparent on scales of massive mass halos. Particularly, this discrepancy increases largely with the decrease of redshift, and the RSI–CDM model can suppress the mass abundance on any scale of halo masses at higher redshift. As for the largest mass of virialized halos, the spatially flat ΛCDM models give more massive mass of virialized objects than other models for both of PL–CDM and RSI–CDM power spectral indexs, and the RSI–CDM model can enhance the mass of largest virialized halos for all of models considered in this paper. So we probably distinguish the PL–CDM and RSI–CDM models by the largest virialized halos in the future...

Heavy-element abundances and massive star formation
We investigate the observational consequences that arise for the heavy-element abundances in normal spiral galaxies from variations in the initial mass function (IMF). In particular, we calculate the oxygen yield for a given IMF, using the most recent calculations of supernova nucleosynthesis. Assuming instantaneous recycling of oxygen, we calculate the resultant oxygen abundance. The predicted and observed oxygen abundances in our Galaxy are compared, and we find that the overall abundance is well explained by the IMF determined in the solar neighborhood

Entropies of a Toroidal Black Hole Due to Scalar and Dirac Fields
Using the thin film brick-wall model, the entropies of a toroidal black hole due to scalar and Dirac fields are investigated. The entropy due to the scalar field is one fourth of the horizon area, and that due to the Dirac field is seven eighth of the area. These results are similar to that in black holes with horizon topology S2. The cutoff in toroidal black hole is chosen as the same as one in black holes with horizon topology S2, which seems to mean that the thin film brick-wall model is universal.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF BEAM DIAGNOSTIC MEASUREMENTS IN SSRF ∗
Signals from various probes of the beam diagnostic system in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) were processed with correlation analysis algorithms. The resulting data allowed us to sort the probes by confidence, which means the stable and accurate signals could be separated from the faulty or noisy ones. And the beam dynamics measurements became electronic instrument free at the same time. This makes it possible to eliminate bad sensors, such as noisy Beam Position Monitors (BPM), from critical uses, like the feedback system, to offer a more confident set of beam parameters and to estimate useful global information by extracting the relationship between some probes.
