description: We present optical photometry of the cataclysmic variable LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9 taken with the high-speed, five-band CCD camera HiPERCAM on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). We detect pulsations originating from the spin of its white dwarf, finding a spin period of 24.9328(38)s. The pulse amplitude is of the order of 0.2% in the g-band, below the detection limits of previous searches. This detection establishes LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9 as only the second white dwarf magnetic propeller system, a twin of its long-known predecessor, AE Aquarii. At 24.93s, the white dwarf in LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9 has the shortest known spin period of any cataclysmic variable star. The white dwarf must have a mass of at least 0.7MSun to sustain so short a period. The observed faintest u-band magnitude sets an upper limit on the white dwarf's temperature of ~25000K. The pulsation amplitudes measured in the five HiPERCAM filters are consistent with an accretion spot of ~30000K covering ~2% of the white dwarf's visible area, although spots that are hot and smaller, or cooler and larger cannot be ruled out.

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in the Bulk as a Localization Mechanism of Fields on the Brane

description: We consider real and complex scalar fields non-minimally coupled to gravity in the bulk spacetime and study their impact on the brane upon acquiring a non-vanishing vacuum expectation value. When examining the case of the complex scalar field, a minimally coupled U(1) gauge field is also considered so that spontaneous symmetry breaking can take place. Particular attention is paid to the terms arising from the junction conditions, which act towards reinforcing the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We find that the embedding of a braneworld universe in a bulk spacetime endowed with matter fields can induce this mechanism at very high energies, which implies the localization on the brane of the bulk fields.

Phytoplankton adaptation to marine ecosystems: insights into photophysiological functional diversity
Creators: name: Giovagnetti, Vasco
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of the photoprotective responses activated by phytoplankton at short temporal scales, i.e. the non-photochemical quenching of Chl a fluorescence (NPQ) associated with the xanthophyll cycle (XC) activity. In this work, we tested the hypothesis that the process of photoprotection, in terms of modulation, extent and efficiency, might be considered as a functional trait in phytoplankton. This ecophysiological work has been performed on four species belonging to the phylum of Stramenopiles. The ecological diversity has been taken into account by studying the photoresponses of species isolated either in surface or deeper water layers, as well as of species adapted to grow either in oceanic or coastal or upwelling ecosystems. Species distinct photoresponses have been also assessed in relation to cell size constraints, using one microplanktonic and three picoplanktonic species.
The relation between phytoplankton ecophysiological functional diversity and ecological adaptation has been studied in three picoeukaryotes (< 3.0 μm) isolated from distinct ecosystems, through the analysis of the physiological response curves obtained by plotting a measured variable against a range of a factor (i.e. light) affecting that variable. The photophysiological flexibility as a functional trait has been discussed in relation to niche adaptation. Because of their peculiar set of biological and ecological features, related to their minute cell size, and because of their very narrow size range, picoeukaryotes are interesting model organisms to address (and answer) questions concerning the ecophysiology of algae.
The integrative physiological processes (i.e. photoacclimation, photoregulation, photosynthesis, growth), which are in part activated or modified in relation to changing light conditions, have been deeply investigated in the microplanktonic coastal diatom, Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata (Bacillariophyceae). A great plasticity in functioning and regulation has been shown to characterize the photoprotective/photoacclimative processes (XC and NPQ) of this diatom, in agreement with its ecological properties.

description: We demonstrate how to model the toppling activity in avalanching systems by stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The theory is developed as a generalization of the classical mean field approach to sandpile dynamics by formulating it as a generalization of Itoh's SDE. This equation contains a fractional Gaussian noise term representing the branching of an avalanche into small active clusters, and a drift term reflecting the tendency for small avalanches to grow and large avalanches to be constricted by the finite system size. If one defines avalanching to take place when the toppling activity exceeds a certain threshold the stochastic model allows us to compute the avalanche exponents in the continum limit as functions of the Hurst exponent of the noise. The results are found to agree well with numerical simulations in the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld and Zhang sandpile models. The stochastic model also provides a method for computing the probability density functions of the fluctuations in the toppling activity itself. We show that the sandpiles do not belong to the class of phenomena giving rise to universal non-Gaussian probability density functions for the global activity. Moreover, we demonstrate essential differences between the fluctuations of total kinetic energy in a two-dimensional turbulence simulation and the toppling activity in sandpiles.

r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Shocked Surface Layers of O-Ne-Mg Cores

description: We demonstrate that rapid expansion of the shocked surface layers of an O-Ne-Mg core following its collapse can result in r-process nucleosynthesis. As the supernova shock accelerates through these layers, it makes them expand so rapidly that free nucleons remain in disequilibrium with alpha-particles throughout most of the expansion. This allows heavy r-process isotopes including the actinides to form in spite of the very low initial neutron excess of the matter. We estimate that yields of heavy r-process nuclei from this site may be sufficient to explain the Galactic inventory of these isotopes.

The extension of weak u verb forms in medieval Gallo-Romance
Creators: name: Bradley, Diane Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The origin of weak u vocalism in verbal systems of the Romance language group has never been completely clear. The form is rare in C.L. and its extension is most usually attributed to an -ui -utum correspondence which arose and spread in V.L., although the reasons for and mechanisms of this development have remained uncertain. Documentary evidence supporting the extension of weak u forms starts with the time of the Roman Empire, but many gaps remain in our knowledge and these are inadequately filled by the sparse records of early Romance. This study seeks to clarify the situation in two ways. Initially it returns to the Latin roots of weak u development and, from this investigation, it appears that the dedi form was at least as important as the -ui verbs in causing the spread of u vocalism. It then follows the many ramifications in the Romance tongues, taking a particular interest in regional and dialectal diversity. The synthesis of the varied phonetic and analogical repatternings available on a wide scale provides the basis for a more detailed investigation of the French, Franco-Provencal and Occitan zones. Regarding the medieval state of development of the Gallo-Romance area itself, influential grammarians have usually based their conclusions primarily on literary sources in describing the language, although charters have not been excluded. Debate has centred on whether weak u forms could have evolved phonetically from Latin and, if so, how, or on whether analogy played a decisive role. However, in recent years, much non-literary medieval material preserved in French archives has been published for the first time; and this study, while acknowledging the insights offered by former work, has taken full advantage of this new situation in order to undertake a re-examination of forms attested in Gallo-Romance, using charters as the primary source. The accuracy of information about chronological and dialectal variation is better assured by such a method and a frequency count is included as an additional indicator of influential forms. The examples thus collected and classified allow patterns and trends present in the language to emerge, and these suggest that the progression of weak u spread was gradual and uneven in Gallo- Romance, much of it probably being analogical. As a preterite form, u vocalism obtained a foothold only in certain northern zones, although the power of these areas was such that its diffusion as part of the future national standard language was assured.

description: Quadratic matrix equations occur in a variety of applications. In this paper we introduce new permutationally invariant functions of two solvents of the n quadratic matrix equation X^2- L1X - L0 = 0, playing the role of the two elementary symmetric functions of the two roots of a quadratic scalar equation. Our results rely on the connection existing between the QME and the theory of linear second order difference equations with noncommutative coefficients. An application of our results to a simple physical problem is briefly discussed.

organism to study a variety of biological phenomena, ranging from gene expression to microbial differentiation, protein-protein interactions and formation of subcellular structures. In addition, this organism is also widely studied for biotechnological reasons, from enzyme and antibiotic production to surface display and vaccine delivery. I am particularly interested in both aspects and, therefore, I decided to focus my attention firstly, on the post-translational regulation of two crucial morphogenetic proteins, CotE and CotH, and secondly, on gaining a better understanding of the non-recombinant approach for surface display on bacterial spores.

description: We investigate the matching of eigenvalue densities of Wilson loops in SU(N) lattice gauge theory: the eigenvalue densities in 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions are nearly identical when the traces of the loops are equal. We show that the matching is present to at least second order in the strong-coupling expansion, and also to second order in perturbation theory. We find that in the continuum limit there is matching at all values of the trace for bare Wilson loops. We confirm numerically that there is matching in these limits and find there are small violations away from them. We discuss the implications for the bulk transitions and for non-analytic gap formation at N = infinity in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions.

description: Thermal regime of the baryons behind shock waves arising in the process of virialization of dark matter halos is governed at cetrain conditions by radiation of HD lines. A small fraction of the shocked gas can cool down to the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We estimate an upper limit for this fraction: at $z=10$ it increases sharply from about $q_{_T}\sim 10^{-3}$ for dark halos of $M=5\times 10^7\msun$ to $\sim 0.1$ for halos with $M=10^8\msun$. Further increase of the halo mass does not lead however to a significant growth of $q_T$ -- the asymptotic value for $M\gg 10^8\msun$ is of 0.3. We estimate star formation rate associated with such shock waves, and show that they can provide a small but not negligible fraction of the star formation. We argue that extremely metal-poor low-mass stars in the Milky Way may have been formed from primordial gas behind such shocks.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Since the inception of the dynamical mean-field theory, numerous numerical studies have relied on the Hirsch-Fye quantum Monte Carlo (HF-QMC) method for solving the associated impurity problem. Recently developed continuous-time algorithms (CT-QMC) avoid the Trotter discretization error and allow for faster configuration updates, which makes them candidates for replacing HF-QMC. We demonstrate, however, that a state-of-the-art implementation of HF-QMC (with extrapolation of discretization delta_tau -> 0) is competitive with CT-QMC. A quantitative analysis of Trotter errors in HF-QMC estimates and of appropriate delta_tau values is included.

description: In this work we present new second order semi-discrete central schemes for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws on curvilinear grids. Our methods generalise the two-dimensional central-upwind schemes developed by Kurganov and Tadmor. In these schemes we account for area and volume changes in the numerical flux functions due to the non-cartesian geometries. In case of vectorial conservation laws we introduce a general prescription of the geometrical source terms valid for various orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. The methods are applied to the two-dimensional Euler equations of inviscid gas dynamics with and without angular momentum transport. In the latter case we introduce a new test problem to examine the detailed conservation of specific angular momentum.

description: We explore CP violation effects on the neutrino propagation in dense environments, such as in core-collapse supernovae, where the neutrino self-interaction induces non-linear evolution equations. We demonstrate that the electron (anti)neutrino fluxes are not sensitive to the CP violating phase if the muon and tau neutrinos interact similarly with matter. On the other hand, we numerically show that new features arise, because of the non-linearity and the flux dependence of the evolution equations, when the muon and tau neutrinos have different fluxes at the neutrinosphere (due to loop corrections or of physics beyond the Standard Model). In particular, the electron (anti)neutrino probabilities and fluxes depend upon the CP violating phase. We also discuss the CP effects induced by radiative corrections to the neutrino refractive index.

Search for Higgs-like resonances in the ZZ-> llqq decay channel with the ATLAS experiment at LHC
Creators: name: Sanchez Pineda, Arturo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2013

description: The search for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson is one of the most cru- cial goals of the LHC physics program. The high center-of-mass energy (√s) of the LHC enables not just to search for the SM Higgs boson at low mass, i.e. be- tween 120 GeV − 2 × mZ , but to extend it to much larger masses, in the range 200 GeV−1 TeV. Although a large portion of last mass range is indirectly excluded at 95% Confidence Level (CL) by global fits to SM observables, it is crucial to complement such indirect limits by direct searches. Further, possible extensions to the SM can conspire to allow a heavy Higgs boson to be compatible with existing mea- surements and latest Higgs boson-candidate discovery. My Ph.D. research activity was focused in the H → ZZ → l±l±qq ̄ analysis in the full Higgs mass range, which has been split in: Low Mass (120 GeV−2×mZ) and High Mass (200 GeV−1 TeV), where the crucial work was performed in the inclusion, for the first time into the ATLAS research program, of the study of the H → ZZ(∗) → l±l±qq ̄ decay in the Low Mass range using 2011 data recorded at √s = 7 TeV, principal subject of this dissertation. Recently, taking the mentioned discover of a particle compatible with the Higgs boson (July 4th, 2012) like a strong guide to continue this research using the full available 2012 recorded data at √s = 8 TeV, and knowing that several Beyond SM models (BSM), compatible with the observed ∼ 125 GeV resonance (h1) and Electroweak (EW) fit, predict a second ’SM-like’ heavy Higgs state h2, it will be possible to search for SM resonance in the heavy mass region (400 GeV − 1 TeV) looking for excess with respect to the SM predictions regardless which model could produce such excess. This is our actual research activity into the ATLAS experiment and a view of its state of the art is included into this dissertation, as the novel tools developed during such a studies.
A specific immunophenotype and an increased adipogenic potential characterized human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hA-MSCs) isolated from obese pregnant women at delivery

description: Maternal obesity is associated to increased fetal risk of obesity and other metabolic diseases. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hA-MSC) have not been characterized in obese women. The aim of this study was to isolate and compare hA-MSC immunophenotypes from obese (Ob-) and normal weight control (Co-) women to identify alterations possibly predisposing the foetus to obesity. We enrolled 16 Ob- and 7 Co-women at delivery (mean/SEM pre-pregnancy BMI: 40.3/1.8 kg/m2 and 22.4/1.0 kg/m2, respectively). hA-MSCs were phenotyped by flow cytometry; several maternal and newborn clinical and biochemical parameters were also measured.
The expression of membrane antigen CD13 was higher on Ob-hA-MSCs than on Co-hA-MSCs (P=0.0043). Also serum levels of CD13 at delivery were higher in Ob- versus Co-pregnant women and correlated with CD13 antigen expression on Ob-hA-MSCs (r2=0.84, P<0.0001). Adipogenesis induction experiments revealed that Ob-hA-MSCs had a higher adipogenic potential than Co-hA-MSCs as witnessed by higher PPARg and aP2 mRNA levels (P=0.02 and P=0.03, respectively) at post-induction day 14 associated with an increase of CD13 mRNA from baseline to day 4 post-induction (P<0.05). Adipogenesis was similar in the two sets of hA-MSCs after CD13 silencing, whereas it was increased in Co-hA-MSCs after CD13 overexpression. Pretreatment of Co- and Ob-hA-MSCs with IFN-g ng/mL) for 24 h induced upregulation of CD13 expression.
In conclusion, antigen CD13, by influencing the adipogenic potential of hA-MSCs could be an in-utero risk factor for obesity. Our data strengthen the hypothesis that high levels of serum and MSC CD13 are obesity markers.

description: Understanding consumers' issues, aspirations, and wants - and assisting them in solving orattaining them – is the only method and generally the secret to small business success. Design Thinking is a human-centered innovation method in which humans are included in the product and service development process from the start. It's a method in which the final product is builton "human-centric solutions" to people's issues, goals, and requirements.Inspiration, ideation, and implementation are the three phases in the process.All three phases were investigated and emphasized as a case study based on a business strategy in the framework of this thesis.The interview is a tool that originated in the Inspiration phase and is highly successful at producing meaningful customer insights. This strategy, along with the transformation methodologyof "How Might We" questions employed during the Ideation phase, proved to be highly beneficialin developing the company concept.As a result, totally new solutions that are highly beneficial to the client have been developed.Approaches like the Business Model Canvas have shown to be quite useful in continually challenging the concept, looking at it from new angles, and considerably improving it. This is acharacteristic of the implementation phase.Identifying consumer needs that are not properly satisfied by existing products and generating a new idea based on these requirements is a key success factor in building a successful businessmodel and therefore effectively starting a venture.

description: We consider the Riemann Mapping Theorem in the case of a bounded simply connected and semianalytic domain. We show that the germ at 0 of the Riemann map (i.e. biholomorphic map) from the upper half plane to such a domain can be realized in a certain quasianalytic class if the angle of the boundary at the point to which 0 is mapped, is greater than 0. This quasianalytic class was introduced and used by Ilyashenko in his work on Hilbert's 16th problem. With this result we can prove that the Riemann map from a bounded simply connected semianalytic domain onto the unit ball is definable in an o-minimal structure, provided that at singular boundary points the angles of the boundary are irrational multiples of $π$.

description: The mechanical unfolding of an engineered protein composed of eight domains of Ig27 is investigated by using atomic force microscopy. Exploiting a fluctuation relation, the equilibrium free energy as a function of the molecule elongation is estimated from pulling experiments. Such a free energy exhibits a regular shape that sets a typical unfolding length at zero force of the order of 20 nm. This length scale turns out to be much larger than the kinetic unfolding length that is also estimated by analyzing the typical rupture force of the molecule under dynamic loading.

Dark-State Polaritons in Single- and Double-$Λ$ Media

description: We derive the properties of polaritons in single-$Λ$ and double-$Λ$ media using a microscopic equation-of-motion technique. In each case, the polaritonic dispersion relation and composition arise from a matrix eigenvalue problem for arbitrary control field strengths. We show that the double-$Λ$ medium can be used to up- or down-convert single photons while preserving quantum coherence. The existence of a dark-state polariton protects this single-photon four-wave mixing effect against incoherent decay of the excited atomic states. The efficiency of this conversion is limited mainly by the sample size and the lifetime of the metastable state.

description: We explore alternate theories of gravity where the gravitational term in the Lagrangian $\frac{R}{8πG}$ is replaced by a function $f_1(R)$ and the matter Lagrangian is multiplied by a function $f_2(R)$. We argue that nuclear physics can provide strong experimental constraints on such theories. In particular using energy conditions on the pressure in the $^4$He nucleus, for $f_1(R)=\frac{R}{8πG}$ and $f_2(R)=1+λR$, we find a limit of $|λ| < 5\times 10^{-12}\, \hbox{m}^2$, more than thirty orders of magnitude stronger than the previous limit.

description: Properties of disordered thin films are discussed based on the viewpoint that superconducting islands are formed in the system. These lead to superconducting correlations confined in space, which are known to form spontaneously in thin films. Application of a perpendicular magnetic field can drive the system from the superconducting state (characterized by phase-rigidity between the sample edges) to an insulating state in which there are no phase-correlations between the edges of the system. On the insulating side the existence of superconducting islands leads to a non-monotonic magnetoresistance. Several other features seen in experiment are explained.

title: The Untapped Potential of Renewable Energy in Selected MENA Countries: Government Plans and Strategies for Solar Thermal Heating in Tunisia and Libya

subject: MENA region

description: The rapid growth of the world population leading to the ever-increasing energy demand and quicker depletion of the limited fossil fuel resources as well as the environmentally damaging effects, impels humanity to find new options of renewable energy sources. Solar power is one the most promising sources in the field of heat and electricity generation, especially in the sunny Middle East and North Africa (MENA) territories. This paper explores the existing renewable energy projects in selected MENA countries (i.e. Dijbouti, Morocco, Sudan, the UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Libya), as well as aims to analyse diverse policies and legislative frameworks that are being implemented regarding solar thermal heating in selected MENA countries, with a focus on two neighboring countries: Tunisia and Libya. The core objective of this paper is to arrive at suggestions regarding the future of solar thermal energy deployment in the Libya. Through extensive literature research, this paper proves that the MENA region has an excellent potential for the implementation of solar thermal projects due to its high solar irradiation, high amount of clear sunny days and vast uninhabited areas. However, on an example of Tunisia and Libya, findings suggest that the main challenge of efficient introduction of renewable energy is the existence of very significant fossil fuel subsidies and lack of transparent and consistent renewable energy policies. Based on the successful example of Tunisian solar water heating program PROSOL, it is suggested that Libya needs to address its renewable energy strategies in a more consistent way by developing legislative and financial frameworks, as well as increasing public and private awareness. Thus the Government of Libya must begin with gradual reduction of existing fuel subsidies and aim at liberation of the energy market to make entry for the private sector possible. Moreover, these measures are particularly essential for Libya as the fossil fuels net-exporting country to remain its strong position as global energy exporter.
The effect of training grade four students to be sensitive to expository text structure and to use text headings to increase the quantity and organization of written recall
Creators: name: Coulombe, Karen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The effects of training fourth grade students to be sensitive to the structure of information/classification prose and to use headings as information retrieval and organizational aids on the quantity and organization of written recall was investigated. One hundred and fourty-one students from six intact non-streamed classes were involved in the study. The six classes were paired on the basis of estimated reading ability and socio-economic status and were randomly assigned to either an experimental or conventional instruction group. The experimental group received instruction from the investigator in the organization of information/classification prose and in the use of headings as recall aids for information/ classification passages written at a low readability level. The conventional group received instruction from the classroom teachers to answer and orally mark answers to questions after reading the same passages as used with the experimental group. Results indicated that the experimental group training procedures significantly enhanced students' organization of written recall but did not facilitate an increase in the number of ideas recalled. Possible explanations for these findings, implications for classroom instruction, and suggestions for further research are discussed.

Quantum estimation for quantum technology

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several quantities of interest in quantum information, including entanglement and purity, are nonlinear functions of the density matrix and cannot, even in principle, correspond to proper quantum observables. Any method aimed to determine the value of these quantities should resort to indirect measurements and thus corresponds to a parameter estimation problem whose solution, i.e the determination of the most precise estimator, unavoidably involves an optimization procedure. We review local quantum estimation theory and present explicit formulas for the symmetric logarithmic derivative and the quantum Fisher information of relevant families of quantum states. Estimability of a parameter is defined in terms of the quantum signal-to-noise ratio and the number of measurements needed to achieve a given relative error. The connections between the optmization procedure and the geometry of quantum statistical models are discussed. Our analysis allows to quantify quantum noise in the measurements of non observable quantities and provides a tools for the characterization of signals and devices in quantum technology.

description: The heavy-fermion compound YbRh2Si2 exhibits an antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase transition at an extremely low temperature of TN = 70 mK. Upon applying a tiny magnetic field of Bc = 60 mT the AFM ordering is suppressed and the system is driven toward a field-induced quantum critical point (QCP). Here, we present low-temperature thermopower S(T) measurements of high-quality YbRh2Si2 single crystals down to 30 mK. S(T) is found negative with comparably large values in the paramagnetic state. In zero field no Landau-Fermi-liquid (LFL) like behavior is observed within the magnetically ordered phase. However, a sign change from negative to positive appears at lowest temperatures on the magnetic side of the QCP. For higher fields B > Bc a linear extrapolation of S to zero clearly evidences the recovery of LFL regime. The crossover temperature is sharply determined and coincides perfectly with the one derived from resistivity and specific heat investigations.

description: Context.A new reduction of the astrometric data as produced by the Hipparcos mission has been published, claiming accuracies for nearly all stars brighter than magnitude Hp = 8 to be better, by up to a factor 4, than in the original catalogue. Aims.The new Hipparcos astrometric catalogue is checked for the quality of the data and the consistency of the formal errors as well as the possible presence of error correlations. The differences with the earlier publication are explained. Methods. The internal errors are followed through the reduction process, and the external errors are investigated on the basis of a comparison with radio observations of a small selection of stars, and the distribution of negative parallaxes. Error correlation levels are investigated and the reduction by more than a factor 10 as obtained in the new catalogue is explained. Results.The formal errors on the parallaxes for the new catalogue are confirmed. The presence of a small amount of additional noise, though unlikely, cannot be ruled out. Conclusions. The new reduction of the Hipparcos astrometric data provides an improvement by a factor 2.2 in the total weight compared to the catalogue published in 1997, and provides much improved data for a wide range of studies on stellar luminosities and local galactic kinematics.

description: Time of flight-mass spectroscopy (TOF-MS), ultraviolet (UV) absorption and Raman spectroscopy, and quantum chemistry calculations were used to investigate the thiourea dioxide (TDO) structure in aqueous solution. TOF-MS with the direct injection sample method was used to get molecular weight information of TDO in solution. The two structural models, (NH2)2CSO2 (I) and NH2NHCSO2H (II), were used for the TDO single molecule, and all the methods lead to a consistent conclusion that TDO water solution is a mixture of In-cyc clusters (cyclic structures containing n molecules of TDO) and II single molecule. This work reveals the existence state of TDO in aqueous solution and supplies systematic method to explore the molecular structure of liquid solution.
