A determination of the parton distributions for flavor asymmetric light sea in the proton
Using the DGLAP equation with corrections of parton recombination, it is the first time that the distributions of the flavor asymmetric sea in the proton are extracted from the available experimental data in a model-independent way. We find that the distribution shape of the asymmetric sea quark is similar to that of the corresponding valence quark. Based on the separation of the flavor symmetric and asymmetric sea, the possible relations between the strange quark distribution and symmetric light quark distribution in the proton are discussed. The results are used to explain the recent HERMES results for the strange quark distribution. The comparisons of our results with the predictions of the CTEQ-, MRS-, GRVdatabases and some models for flavor asymmetric sea are also presented.

Bag skin effect for Friedberg-Lee model
Importance of the bag skin effect to determine the parameters of the Friedberg-Lee model is pointed out. The European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect regarded as a bag skin effect can be used to determine the parameters of this model.

Nuclear Shadowing and Antishadowing in a Unitarized BFKL Equation
The nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects are explained by a unitarized BFKL equation. The Q2and x-variations of the nuclear parton distributions are detailed based on the level of the unintegrated gluon distribution. In particular, the asymptotical behavior of the unintegrated gluon distribution near the saturation limit in nuclear targets is studied. Our results in the nuclear targets are insensitive to the input distributions if the parameters are fixed by the data of a free proton.

Partonic Structure of the Pomeron in the Modified GLR Equation
The gluon recombination effect in the pomeron is studied by using the modified Gribov–Levin–Ryskin evolution equation. We find that the measured parton distributions in the pomeron can be generated dynamically from a purely gluonic input on assuming a small size for the pomeron.

A New Effect in the QCD Fusion of Nuclear Partons
The parton fusion in nucleus at the leading order of recombination is investigated based on perturbative QCD. We compute various cut diagrams including the nuclear parton fusion, and find that the parton-fusion effects depend on the nuclear QCD structure.

A twist-4 effect in the parton evolution processes
Recently, a research group reported that they can fit the F2 data well by using the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation with a valence-like initial gluon distribution, which means that we need not consider the high twist effects in the proton. In this letter, we point out that their valence-like initial gluon distribution is unreasonable for the proton structure function. With the reasonable initial distributions, we find that the high twist corrections to the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation is necessary.

Cold stream stability during minor mergers
We use high-resolution Eulerian simulations to study the stability of cold gas flows in a galaxy size dark matter halo (10(12) M-circle dot) at redshift z = 2. Our simulations show that a cold stream penetrating a hot gaseous halo is stable against thermal convection and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. We then investigate the effect of a satellite orbiting the main halo in the plane of the stream. The satellite is able to perturb the stream and to inhibit cold gas accretion towards the centre of the halo for 0.5 Gyr. However, if the supply of cold gas at large distances is kept constant, the cold stream is able to re-establish itself after 0.3 Gyr. We conclude that cold streams are very stable against a large variety of internal and external perturbations.
