Testing the viability of the interacting holographic dark energy model by using combined observational constraints
Using the 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, H(z) and lookback time measurements, we have performed a statistical joint analysis of the interacting holographic dark energy model. Consistent parameter estimations show us that the interacting holographic dark energy model is a viable candidate for explaining the observed acceleration of our universe.

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.

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.

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.

Gas at Large Distances from Galaxies and QSO Absorption Lines
We present the calculations of steady, spherical gas outflows from galaxies in an effort to understand the effects of the galaxy mass on the flow properties such as the size of the outflow regions, the efficiency of radiative cooling, and the fate of the cooled gas. We show that there exist no transonic flows but either subsonic or supersonic flows are obtainable, in an analogy with the stellar wind or accretion problems. Solutions of the supersonic outflows are studied in detail as they are most likely to carry gas to large distances away from galaxies. In case the gas does cool radiatively, the cooled gas is most likely to form clouds via various instabilities. The clouds coast farther away from the galaxy because of the finite kinetic energy they inherit. Depending on the initial energies, the clouds can either leave the galaxy or fall back ballistically. Applications of the calculations to dwarf and normal galaxies are made, and we argue that normal galaxies like our own should have relatively small gaseous halos formed through this mechanism. We discuss the implications of cold clouds from dwarf galaxies on recent observations of the QSO absorption line systems. For massive galaxies, satellites provide alternative ways to form large gaseous halos. We show how dynamical friction can increase tidal stripping of the gas as the satellite spirals in toward the primary, and that the gas ejected from satellites may account for the QSO heavy element absorption lines.

Computer design of a compact cyclotron
Here we present results of the computer design of the structural elements of a compact cyclotron by the example of HITFiL cyclotron selected as the driving accelerator that is under construction at the Institute of Modern Physics (Lanzhou, China). In the article a complex approach to modeling of the compact cyclotron, including calculation of electromagnetic fields of the structural elements and beam dynamics calculations, is described. The existing design data on the axial injection, magnetic, acceleration and extraction systems of the cyclotron are used as a starting point in the simulation. Some of the upgrades of the cyclotron structural elements were proposed, which led to substantial improvement of the beam quality and transmission.

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.

OBSERVATIONAL H(z) DATA AS A COMPLEMENTARITY TO OTHER COSMOLOGICAL PROBES
In this paper, we use a set of observational H(z) data (OHD) to constrain the Lambda CDM cosmology. This dataset can be derived from the differential ages of the passively evolving galaxies. Meanwhile, the A-parameter, which describes the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) peak, and the newly measured value of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) shift parameter Rare used to present combinational constraints on the same cosmology. The combinational constraints favor an accelerating flat universe while the flat Lambda CDM cosmology is also analyzed in the same way. We obtain result compatible with that by many other independent cosmological observations. We find that the observational H(z) data set is a complementarity to other cosmological probes.

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.
