    Mesoscopic counterpart of a hyperchaos

    No full text
    The effect of intrinsic fluctuations was analyzed on hyperchaos having positive Lyapunov exponents using Stochastic simulations. Individual simulations of the Markov processes were derived from the deterministic hyperchaos. The chemical master equation was examined to determine the effect of intrinsic fluctuations on hyperchaos. The individual simulations were found in close accordance with the deterministic hyperchaos.Physics, Atomic, Molecular & ChemicalSCI(E)EI1ARTICLE115099-510111

    Batraxis bicolor Wang and Yin, 2016 (Figs 6 B, 13A–C, 14E, 14U, 15) Batraxis bicolor Wang and Yin (in Wang et al. 2016: 2). Type locality: China, Hainan, Qiongzhong Hsien, Limu Mt., 19°10'04"N, 109°44'45"E, 625 m. Additional material examined (14 ƋƋ, 17 ♀♀). 1 Ƌ, labeled ‘ CHINA: Yunnan Province, Lincang City, Yun Hsien, Manwan, Town, Manjiu Village (慢旧村), 24°42'31''N, 100°22'44''E, rotten wood, alt. 1371 m, 9.iv.2016, Zi-Chun Xiong leg.’ (SNUC); 5 ƋƋ, 3 ♀♀, labeled ‘ China: Yunnan, Lincang City, Yun Hsien, Manwan Town, Guiziba Village, 24°43'48"N, 100°20'01"E, rotten wood, alt. 1243 m, 19.iv.2016, Zi-Chun Xiong leg.’ (SNUC); 8 ƋƋ, 14 ♀♀, same data as previous material except ‘ 20.iv.2016 ’ (SNUC). Comments. The population of Batraxis bicolor from Hainan has reddish brown head, pronotum, and elytra and a much darker abdomen (Wang et al. 2016) which is stable in all available individuals, while the population from Yunnan (Fig. 6 B) are uniform in color (darkish brown). Furthermore, the aedeagal endophallus of the population from Hainan is strictly symmetric, but in the population from Yunnan, it is slightly asymmetric (Fig. 13 A–C). The above differences are interpreted as intraspecific variation of this species. Otherwise, the long protuberance of the protrochanters (Fig. 14 U) and small preapical tooth of the protibiae (Fig. 14 E) are stable in both populations. Batraxis bicolor is similar to B. splendida Nomura from Japan and Korea, but the latter species lack a protuberance on the protibiae. Measurements of the population from Yunnan: male—BL 2.00– 2.17 mm, HL 0.42–0.43 mm, HW 0.42–0.43 mm, PL 0.39–0.42 mm, PW 0.43–0.47 mm, EL 0.50–0.54 mm, EW 0.83–0.84 mm, AL 0.71–0.79 mm, AW 0.78– 0.85 mm, width between discal carinae of tergite IV 0.38–0.44 mm at apices, length of the aedeagus 0.49 mm; female—BL 1.83–2.05 mm; HL 0.38–0.40 mm; HW 0.39–0.40 mm; PL 0.35–0.39 mm; PW 0.42–0.44 mm; EL 0.45–0.49 mm; EW 0.74–0.81 mm; AL 0.65–0.77 mm; AW 0.74–0.82 mm; width between discal carinae of tergite IV 0.38–0.42 mm at apices.

    Sawtooth-driven neoclassical tearing modes in HL-2A plasmas

    No full text
    Neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) of m = 2, n = 1 induced by sawtooth crashes in tokamak plasmas are studied based on the results of HL-2A tokamak experiments. A model of sawtooth-driven Delta' for NTMs due to the toroidal coupling effect is proposed and applied to the observed growth of 2/1 islands with the sawtooth oscillation observed in the HL-2A experiment. The neoclassical tearing island growth is calculated based on the model and the result is found to be in good agreement with experimental data.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000312579500002&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Physics, Fluids & PlasmasPhysics, NuclearSCI(E)EI4ARTICLE12null5

    Performances of the HL (Hyperloop) transport system

    No full text
    This paper deals with an analysis of performances of the HL (Hyperloop) transport system considered as an advanced transport alternative to the existing APT (Air Passenger Transport) and HSR (High Speed Rail) systems. The considered performances are operational, financial, social and environmental. The operational performance include capacity and quality of service provided to the system’s users-passengers with attributes such as door-to-door travel time consisting of the access and egress time, schedule delay, in-vehicle time, and interchange time. The economic performances embrace the costs and revenues of operating the system. The costs include that for infrastructure, vehicles, traffic management facilities and equipment, and employees. The revenues embrace earnings from pricing users/passengers. The environmental performances include energy consumption and related emissions of GHGs (Green House Gases), and land use. The social performances are considered to be noise and safety. The analytical models of indicators of these performances are developed and applied to the scenario of operating the HL system on the short- to medium-haul travel distances/routes. These are then compared to the corresponding performances of the HSR and APT. This comparison has shown that the HL system may possess some advantages but also disadvantages regarding particular performances.Transport and PlanningOLD Urban and Regional Developmen

    Batraxis tibialis Wang and Yin, 2016 (Figs 7, 13 D–F, 14F, 14I, 14V, 15) Batraxis tibialis Wang and Yin (in Wang et al. 2016: 4). Type locality: China, Hainan, Qiongzhong Hsien, Limu Mt., 19°10'04"N, 109°44'45"E, 625 m. Additional material examined. 2 ƋƋ, labeled ‘ CHINA: W. Jiangxi, Ji’an City, Jinggang Shan (井冈山), Bijia Shan (笔架山), 26°31'03"N, 114°11'17"E, mixed leaf litter, sifted, 580 m, 24.vii.2014, Chen, Hu, Lv & Yu leg.’ (SNUC). Comments. The glabrous body (Fig. 7 A), obliquely narrowed abdomen at base, distinctly concaved protibiae (Fig. 14 F), presence of small ventral protuberance at the middle of profemora (Fig. 14 I), and the form of aedeagus (Figs 13 D–F) of the population from Jiangxi readily lead its identity to B. tibialis. The differences in the forms of the protibial cavity and aedeagal endophallus between the populations from Hainan (Fig. 7 B) and Jiangxi is considered intraspecific variation of this species. Measurements of the population from Jiangxi: BL 1.93 mm, HL 0.42 mm, HW 0.43 mm, PL 0.38 mm, PW 0.42 mm, EL 0.53 mm, EW 0.72 mm, AL 0.60 mm, AW 0.69 mm, mm, width between discal carinae of tergite IV 0.30 mm at apices, length of the aedeagus 0.24 mm.
