外文资料翻译麦克斯韦方程组麦克斯韦方程组是英国物理学家麦克斯韦在19世纪建立的描述电场与磁场的四个基本方程。
方程组的微分形式,通常称为麦克斯韦方程。
在麦克斯韦方程组中,电场和磁场已经成为一个不可分割的整体。
该方程组系统而完整地概括了电磁场的基本规律,并预言了电磁波的存在。
麦克斯韦提出的涡旋电场和位移电流假说的核心思想是:变化的磁场可以激发涡旋电场,变化的电场可以激发涡旋磁场;电场和磁场不是彼此孤立的,它们相互联系、相互激发组成一个统一的电磁场。
麦克斯韦进一步将电场和磁场的所有规律综合起来,建立了完整的电磁场理论体系。
这个电磁场理论体系的核心就是麦克斯韦方程组。
麦克斯韦方程组在电磁学中的地位,如同牛顿运动定律在力学中的地位一样。
以麦克斯韦方程组为核心的电磁理论,是经典物理学最引以自豪的成就之一。
它所揭示出的电磁相互作用的完美统一,为物理学家树立了这样一种信念:物质的各种相互作用在更高层次上应该是统一的。
另外,这个理论被广泛地应用到技术领域。
历史背景1845年,关于电磁现象的三个最基本的实验定律:库仑定律(1785年),安培—毕奥—萨伐尔定律(1820年),法拉第定律(1831-1845年)已被总结出来,法拉第的“电力线”和“磁力线”概念已发展成“电磁场概念”。
场概念的产生,也有麦克斯韦的一份功劳,这是当时物理学中一个伟大的创举,因为正是场概念的出现,使当时许多物理学家得以从牛顿“超距观念”的束缚中摆脱出来,普遍地接受了电磁作用和引力作用都是“近距作用”的思想。
1855年至1865年,麦克斯韦在全面地审视了库仑定律、安培—毕奥—萨伐尔定律和法拉第定律的基础上,把数学分析方法带进了电磁学的研究领域,由此导致麦克斯韦电磁理论的诞生。
积分形式麦克斯韦方程组的积分形式:这是1873年前后,麦克斯韦提出的表述电磁场普遍规律的四个方程。
其中:(1)描述了电场的性质。
在一般情况下,电场可以是库仑电场也可以是变化磁场激发的感应电场,而感应电场是涡旋场,它的电位移线是闭合的,对封闭曲面的通量无贡献。
ON THE SOLUTIONS TO THE NORMAL FORM OF THE NAVIER–STOKES EQUATIONS

),
t → ∞,
for some ε > 0 depending on N . A normal form of the Navier–Stokes equations is obtained in an explicit way from the map u(0) → (qn (0))∞ n=1 . The associated normalization map W is defined by W (u(0)) = (Rn qn (0))∞ , n=1 where Rn , n = 1, 2, 3, . . ., are specified projections (see the subsection 2.2). The following three related questions are still open: 1. When does the asymptotic expansion actually converge? 2. In what natural normed spaces does our normal form of the Navier–Stokes equations constitute a well-behaved infinite-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations? 3. What is the range of the normalization map? This paper is devoted to the study of those questions to which we give some partial answers. For instance, we show that if the asymptotic expansion of a regular solution u(t) is absolutely convergent in the Sobolev space H 1 at time t = 0 then it converges in H 1 to u(t) for all time t large enough (see Theorem 5.3 and Proposition 5.4; see also Corollaries 5.11 and 5.12 relevant to Question 3); also we give examples of normed spaces in which the answer to Question 2 is positive (see Section 7). Although the questions 1, 2 and 3 are not yet settled, the asymptotic expansions of regular solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations were recently used as an essential tool in the study of the asymptotic behavior of the helicity [4] as well as in the statistical analysis of a decaying flow [5]. The analytic method developed in [4] also turns out to be useful in the study of the asymptotic expansions. Moreover, the method can be applied to a new construction of the regular solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations that gives additional insight into the algebraic role played by the nonlinear terms in those equations. This construction is motivated by the 2 2 system of differential equations satisfied by the terms un (t) = qn (t)e−4π νnt/L in the above asymptotic expansion and is first shown to yield the classical existence results for the regular solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations. Furthermore, the construction is well adapted to the study of the asymptotic expansions. With some new a priori estimates we show that the solutions obtained in this way are global solutions in suitable normed spaces to an extended system of the Navier–Stokes equations. These spaces turn out to provide a suitable setting for the study of the normalization map and the normal form and the extended Navier–Stokes equations. In this case the formal inverse of the normalization map is Lipschitz continuous in some of those normed spaces. At present, our estimates for the terms in the asymptotic expansions are not sharp. Thus, there is still room for improvements in our method. With more refined estimates it may be possible to establish classical convergence of the asymptotic expansions for small values of the normalization map. Moreover, we still do not
麦克斯韦方程和规范理论的观念起源
麦克斯韦方程和规范理论的观念起源*2014-11-12收到†email:************************杨振宁1,2著汪忠1,† 译DOI:10.7693/wl20141201(1清华大学高等研究院北京100084)(2香港中文大学物理系香港沙田)早在法拉第的“电紧张态(electrotonic state)”和麦克斯韦的矢量势(vector potential) 概念中,规范自由度(gauge freedom)的存在就已经不可避免。
它如何演化成为一个支撑粒子物理标准模型的对称原理?这里有一段值得叙说的故事。
人们常说,继库仑(Charles Augustin de Cou- lomb)、高斯(Carl Friedrich Gauss)、安培(AndréMarie Ampère)、法拉第(Michael Faraday) 发现了电学和磁学的四条实验定律之后,麦克斯韦(James Clerk Maxwell)引入了位移电流,在他的麦克斯韦方程组中实现了电磁学的伟大综合。
这种说法不能说是错的,但它并没有道出微妙的几何和物理直觉之间的关联,而正是这种关联促使场论在19 世纪取代了超距作用的概念,也正是它带来了20 世纪粒子物理中非常成功的标准模型。
1 19 世纪的历史1820 年奥斯特(Hans Christian Oersted,1777—1851)发现电流能使其附近的小磁针偏转。
这一发现使整个欧洲科学界大为振奋,带来的结果之一是安培(1775—1836) 关于“超距作用(action at a* 原文已发表于Physics Today,2014 年11 月刊,第45—51 页distance)”的成功理论。
在英格兰,法拉第(1791—1867)也因为奥斯特的发现而激动不已,但他缺乏足够的数学训练,所以无法理解安培的工作。
在1822 年9 月3 日写给安培的一封信中,法拉第叹息道:“很不幸,我不具备足够的数学知识,也不具备自如地进行抽象推理的能力。

王娜量子体系相干态Wigner函数6月17日
量子体系相干态的Wigner函数王娜(陕理工学院物理系物理学063班,陕西汉中,723001)指导教师:王剑华教授【摘要】:Wigner函数作为相空间中的一个准概率分布函数,它包含了量子态在整个相空间演化过程中的全部信息,具有十分重要的物理意义。
本文首先介绍了Wigner函数的定义和性质,其次计算了一维谐振子的相干态,并推广到三维谐振子相干态,将相干态表达式代入三维坐标空间Wigner函数的一般表达形式中,得到了相应的Wigner函数。
最后,介绍了增、减光子奇偶相干态下的Wigner函数及其所表现出的特性。
【关键词】:谐振子;量子体系;相干态;Wigner函数引言Wigner函数最早是由著名的物理学家Wigner于1932年[1]引进的,Wigner函数的引进是为了对热力学体系做量子修正而引入相空间中的准几率分布函数。
在描述量子光学、核物理、量子计算、量子混沌以及量子信息的控制和传递中,Wigner函数也有着非常重要的作用,并且是一个很好的半经典近似。
在上世纪70年代以前,Wigner函数并没有引起人们更多的关注。
直到1975年,Moyal才从量子力学的内部逻辑出发,发现了这个引人入胜的乘法量子化方法[2]。
在这种量子化方法中,我们不需要选定一个特定的表象空间,比如坐标表象或动量表象,而且在现代量子测量中,量子态Wigner函数的重构[3]和测量对研究量子体系的演化过程有着重要的意义,这个定义于相空间的实函数具有准概率分布函数的性质。
一般说来,Wigner函数既可以取正值,也可以取负值,故不能像经典物理中那样,把Wigner 函数看成粒子在同一时刻的坐标、动量的概率密度[4]。
准经典态的Wigner函数始终是非负的,比如一维谐振子的较低的两个能量本征态[5]的Wigner函数,其中基态波函数相应的Wigner函数为非负[6]的,具有相空间中的旋转不变形。
但对于它的激发态,Wigner函数则可正可负,呈现出明显的非经典特征。

4 Who is great Defining who is great depends on how one measures success. But there are some criteria. “Someone who has made a lasting contribution to human civilization is great,” said Dean Keith Simonton, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis and author of the 1994 book Greatness: Who Makes History and Why. But he added a word of caution: “Sometimes great people don’t make it into history books. A lot of women achieved great things or were influential but went unrecognized.”
Language Points
5 In writing his book, Simonton combined historical knowledge about great figures with recent findings in genetics, psychiatry and the social sciences. The great figures he focused on include men and women who have won Nobel Prizes, led great nations or won wars, composed symphonies that have endured for centuries, or revolutionized science, philosophy, politics or the arts. Though he doesn’t have a formula to define how or why certain people rise above (too many factors are involved), he has come up with a few common characteristics.

Given the small temperature range kinetic studies occur in, it is reasonable to approximate the activation energy as being independent of the temperature. Similarly, under a wide range of practical conditions, the weak temperature dependence of the pre-exponential factor is negligible compared to the temperature dependence of the factor; except in the case of "barrierless" diffusion-limited reactions, in which case the pre-exponential factor is dominant and is directly observable.

fundamentals of vector network analysis -回复
fundamentals of vector network analysis -回复Fundamentals of Vector Network AnalysisIntroduction:Vector Network Analysis (VNA) is a powerful technique used in the field of electrical engineering for measuring and characterizing high-frequency electrical networks. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of networks, allowing engineers to design and optimize complex systems in various industries like telecommunications, aerospace, and electronics. In this article, we will delve into the fundamentals of Vector Network Analysis, explaining the underlying principles, measurement techniques, and applications.1. What is Vector Network Analysis?Vector Network Analysis is a method used to measure and analyze the electrical properties of complex networks at high frequencies. It involves the use of a specialized instrument called a Vector Network Analyzer. A VNA measures the amplitude and phase of electronic signals at the input and output ports of the device under test (DUT). These measurements are then used to determine the characteristics of the network, such as transmission and reflectioncoefficients, impedance, and scattering parameters.2. Basic Measurement Principles:Vector Network Analysis relies on the principle of superposition, where the measured signals can be treated as a sum of individual frequency components. The VNA generates a continuous wave signal at specific frequencies and measures the response of the DUT. By varying the frequency, the VNA can capture the behavior of the network across a wide range.3. Measurement Techniques:To perform vector network analysis, the VNA sends a stimulus signal to the DUT and measures the response at its input and output ports. There are two main measurement techniques used in VNA:a) Transmission Measurement: In this technique, the VNA measures the signal transmitted through the DUT. By comparing the transmitted signal with the reference signal, the VNA determines the transmission coefficient, providing information about the network's gain or loss.b) Reflection Measurement: This technique involves the measurement of the signal reflected at the input or output ports of the DUT. By comparing the reflected signal with the incident signal, the VNA calculates the reflection coefficient, which indicates the impedance match or mismatch between the network and the VNA.4. Calibration:Calibration is a critical step in VNA to remove the systematic errors introduced by the measurement setup. It involves the use of calibration standards and reference standards to establish accurate measurement references. Common calibration techniques include the Short-Open-Load-Thru (SOLT) and the Reflect-Match-Reflect (RMR) methods.5. Network Parameters:Vector Network Analysis provides several key parameters that help characterize the behavior of networks. These parameters include:a) S-parameters: S-parameters describe the scattering behavior of networks. They consist of two parts, magnitude, and phase, representing the amplitude and phase shift of signals.S-parameters provide information about signal reflections,transmission, and isolation between ports.b) Impedance: Impedance is a critical parameter that reflects how a network responds to the flow of AC current. It is expressed in terms of real (resistance) and imaginary (reactance) components.c) Transmission and Reflection Coefficients: These coefficients represent the amount of signal transmitted or reflected at the ports of the DUT. They determine the efficiency and impedance match of the network.d) Group Delay: Group delay indicates the time delay of the signal passing through the network. It is crucial in applications where phase coherence and timing are essential, such as in communications systems.6. Applications:Vector Network Analysis finds applications in various fields such as:a) Antenna Design and Testing: VNA helps characterize the performance of antennas by measuring the impedance match and radiation patterns.b) RF/Microwave Component Characterization: VNA is used to measure the performance of components like filters, amplifiers, and mixers, ensuring their proper functioning and efficiency.c) Material Characterization: By analyzing the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves through materials, VNA can determine the dielectric properties and material behavior, enabling applications in fields like material science and quality control.d) Circuit Design: VNA plays a significant role in designing and optimizing circuits by measuring their impedance and transmission characteristics. It aids in identifying issues like signal reflections and matching problems.Conclusion:Vector Network Analysis is a fundamental technique inhigh-frequency electrical engineering. With its ability to measure and analyze complex networks accurately, it enables engineers to design, troubleshoot, and optimize systems for various industries. By understanding the principles, measurement techniques,calibration, and network parameters, engineers can harness the power of VNA to ensure efficient, reliable, and well-designed networks.。

steinharmonic analysis
steinharmonic analysisStein's harmonic analysis, developed by mathematician Elias M. Stein, is a powerful mathematical tool used to study functions in signal processing, image analysis, and various other areas of mathematics. In this article, we will explore the key concepts and techniques involved in Stein's harmonic analysis.Harmonic analysis is a branch of mathematics that deals with the representation and decomposition of functions as a sum of simpler periodic functions called harmonics. Stein's harmonic analysis focuses on the study of functions and their properties using harmonic analysis techniques.One of the fundamental concepts in Stein's harmonic analysis is the Fourier transform. The Fourier transform of a function is a mathematical operation that decomposes the function into a collection of sinusoidal functions with varying frequencies and amplitudes. This decomposition provides valuable information about different components of the function, which can be useful in understanding and analyzing signals.The Fourier transform can be visualized as a way to transform afunction from the time/space domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the function is represented as a sum of sinusoidal functions, each associated with a particular frequency. This transformation allows us to analyze the function in terms of its frequency content, enabling us to identify important features and patterns that may be hidden in the time/space domain representation.Stein's harmonic analysis builds upon the Fourier transform by introducing techniques such as wavelet analysis andtime-frequency analysis. Wavelet analysis is a mathematical tool used to analyze signals at different resolutions. Unlike the Fourier transform, which provides a global frequency analysis, wavelet analysis allows for a localized analysis of the frequency components of a signal. This can be particularly useful when dealing with signals that contain transient or localized events.Time-frequency analysis, on the other hand, focuses on analyzing how the frequency content of a signal changes over time. This can be achieved using techniques such as the short-time Fourier transform or the spectrogram. These methods provide a representation of the signal that captures both its time andfrequency properties, allowing for a detailed analysis of transient events and changes in frequency content.Stein's harmonic analysis also incorporates concepts from functional analysis, which deals with the study of vector spaces of functions and operators. Functional analysis provides a rigorous mathematical framework for studying the properties and behavior of functions and operators in a more general context.One of the key contributions of Stein's harmonic analysis is the development of theory and techniques for dealing with non-linear and time-varying systems. Traditional harmonic analysis techniques often assume linearity and time-invariance, which may not hold in many practical applications. Stein's approach allows for the analysis of more complex systems that exhibit non-linear and time-varying behavior.In conclusion, Stein's harmonic analysis is a valuable mathematical tool for studying functions and their properties in various fields, including signal processing and image analysis. The concepts and techniques involved, such as Fourier transforms, wavelet analysis,and time-frequency analysis, provide powerful tools for analyzing and understanding the frequency content and behavior of functions. By incorporating ideas from functional analysis, Stein's approach also allows for the analysis of more complex andnon-linear systems. Overall, Stein's harmonic analysis has proven to be a versatile and powerful tool in the field of mathematics.。

On the concept of normal shift in non-metric geometry
1. What is normal shift ? Brief historical overview. Phenomenon of normal shift is very simple by its nature. Let’s consider it in three-dimensional Euclidean space R3 . Suppose that σ is some smooth orientable surface in R3 . At each point p ∈ σ one can draw unit normal vector n such that n = n(p) would be a smooth vector-valued function on σ . Let’s move each point p of σ in the direction of vector n(p) to the distance t which is the same for all points p ∈ σ . Then moved points pt would form another surface σt as shown on Fig. 1.1. Changing parameter t we would obtain one-parametric family of surfaces. This construction is known as Bonnet transformation. In Bonnet construction initial surface σ is transformed by moving each point of σ . Trajectories of motion in this case are straight lines directed along normal vectors and points of σ move along them with a constant speed |v| = 1. Therefore parameter t, which is the distance of displacement, can also be interpreted as time variable. Bonnet noted that all surfaces σt in his construction are perpendicular to the trajectories of moving points. For this reason his construction is also known as normal displacement or normal shift. Basic observation by Bonnet, i. e. orthogonality of surfaces σt and shift trajectories, gave an impetus for generalization of his construction. This was done by me

Introduction to Building Vibrations
In this web-based module for analysis, visualization and experimentation you will learn about structural dynamics and the vibrations of buildings. You will learn how one mathematically describes the dynamic behavior of a three-story building in terms of its oscillatory response to earthquakes. You will find that for a three-story building, one can mathematically describe the vibrations of the building using a set of three second-order differential equations, similar to the spring-mass-damper equation that you studied in your first-year physics course. The key difference between the single-mass system you studied in physics, and the three-mass system you will learn about here, is that the three equations used in the three-mass system are inter-related, or coupled. Physically, this means that the response and oscillations of one floor mass depends on the oscillations of all the other floors. In coupled systems it is often convenient to write the differential equations in terms of matrices. Matrix notation helps to simplify and unify how one mathematically describe dynamic systems, like this three-story building. To get a general idea of what building vibrations are about, please use the navigation bar on the left to view some videos of our small-scale building model oscillating at various frequencies. Right now this unfortunately requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. Browser-independent versions of the video will be up soon. The first part of this tutorial presents an introduction to the response of buildings to earthquakes. The second part describes a small-scale web-based experiment of a three-story building model, how earthquake-like motions are applied to its base, and how the model is instrumented to measure the vibratory response. The third part of the tutorial provides instructions on how to run web-based computer simulations and actual earthquake-response experiments, through your web-browser. In the last part we ask you to answer some evaluations about this web-based lab. Before continuing, please note the time. When you complete the evaluation questions, you will be asked how much time you spent working on this web-based lab. The educational objectives of this module are:

3.模型拟合——主要拟合度指标
(3)整体模型拟合度
a) χ2卡方拟合指数 检验选定的模型协方差矩阵与观察数据协方差矩阵相匹配的假设。原假设是模型协方差阵等 于样本协方差阵。如果模型拟合的好,卡方值应该不显著。在这种情况下,数据拟合不好的模型被拒绝。
b) RMR 是残差均方根。RMR 是样本方差和协方差减去对应估计的方差和协方差的平方和,再取平均值的平方根。 RMR应该小于0.08,RMR越小,拟合越好。

Attributional approaches to helping behavior have been based on the assumption that an individual's decision to help another person in need of aid is determined in part by the perceived cause of the other person's need (e.g., Berkowitz, 1969: Ickes & FCidd. 1976: Meyer & Mulherin. 1980: Schopler & Matthews, 1965: Weiner. I980a, I980b). The most elaborated model to date was proposed by Weiner (1980a. 1980b: see also Meyer & Mulherin, 1980. fora similar formulation). In line with an earlier proposal bv Ickes and Kidd (1976: see also Barnes, Ickes. & KJdd, 1979). Weiner assumed that if the cause of another person's need is perceived as controllable (i.e., if the person is thought to be responsible for his or her need), then aid tends to be withheld: conversely, if the cause of the need is perceived as uncontrollable (i.e., if the person is not held responsible), then help is offered. According to Weiner (I980a, 1980b). however, an individual's belief concerning the controllability of the cause of need does not influence the decision to help directly: rather, this influence is assumed to be mediated (at least for the most part: see the next section) by the affective reactions of sympathy (pity) and anger. More specifically, it is proposed that the less controllable the cause of the other's need is perceived to be, the more sympathy and the less anger will be experienced. These emotional reactions, in turn, influence help giving: one is more likely to help, the more sympathy and the less anger that one feels. Weiner's model is depicted graphically in Figure 1. Empirical Evidence for Weiner's Model Using Figure 1 as a guide, one can group the currently available empirical evidence pertinent to the model into three categories:
In this study. Weiner's (1980a. I980b) altributional model of helping behavior, which holds that the effect of causal attributions of another's need on helping is mediated by the affective reactions of sympathy and anger, was analyzed via latent-variable structural modeling techniques. Weiner's model was initially tested in the context of a hypothetical subway emergency situation, and several controversial aspects of the model were clarified through a series of hierarchical model comparisons. The refined model resulting from these analyses was subsequently cross-validated with data from a different helping situation, which involved a student's request to borrow class notes. The findings are interpreted as being supportive of the attributional model of helping behavior proposed by Weiner and. more generally, as documenting the range of convenience of an attributional approach to social motivation. In addition, they attest to the potential power of latent-variable structural modeling as applied to experimental data.

(a) evidence supporting the link between perceived controllability and helping: (b) evidence supporting the link between controllability and the affective reactions of sympathy and anger: and (c) evidence supporting the link between these affects and helping. In regard first to the controllability-help link, the clearest support comes from a number of experiments in which subjects were provided with information about the cause of another person's need, and the likelihood or the amount of help given, or both, were subsequently assessed (Barnes et al.. 1979; Meyer & Mulherin. 1980: Schwartz & Fleishman, 1978: Weiner. 1980a. Experiments I and 3-6. I980b. Experiment 2). These researchers have consistently found that a need perceived to be due to uncontrollable causes (as ascertained either by preselection of causes on the basis of controllability and/or by manipulation checks that assessed perceived controllability) leads to significantly1 more help than does a need perceived as due to causes controllable by the potential help recipient. To illustrate, Barnes et al. (1979), in a field experiment, found that students were significantly more likely to lend class notes to a fellow student when the need for help was portraved as being due to a lack of ability (uncontrollable cause) than when it was due to a lack of effort (controllable cause). Barnes et al. (1979). Meyer and Mulherin (1980), and Weiner (1980a. Experiment 1) also provided evidence that it is indeed the perceived controllability, rather than the locus or the stability (cf. Weiner. 1979) of the cause of the potential help recipient's need, that exerts the major impact on helping. In addition, there are a number of earlier experiments in which the researchers also found differences in helping as a function of the apparent cause of need (e.g.. Berkoyvitz, 1969: Ickes. Kidd. & Berkowitz. 1976. Experiment 2: Piliavin. Rodin, & Piliavin, 1969: Schopler & Matthews. 1965). Although these studies were not designed to specifically test the controllability-help link, a reexamination of the experimental conditions compared in these experiments suggests that they most likely differed on the perceived controllability of the cause of need (see Ickes & Kidd. 1976). Lastly, the results of survey research supporting a link between the attribution of another's need and the likelihood of help can also be interpreted post hoc as being consistent with
