Strongly regular generalized partial geometries and associated LDPC codes

In this paper, we introduce strongly regular generalized partial geometries of grade $r$, which generalise partial geometries and strongly regular $(\alpha,\beta)$-geometries. By the properties of quadrics in PG$(2,q)$ and PG$(3,q)$, we construct two classes of strongly regular generalized partial geometries of grade $3$. Besides, we define low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by considering the combinatorial structures of strongly regular generalized partial geometries and derive bounds on minimum distance, dimension and girth for the LDPC codes.

NeuDATool: An Open Source Neutron Data Analysis Tools, Supporting GPU Hardware Acceleration, and Across-computer Cluster Nodes Parallel

Empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR) is a neutron scattering data analysis algorithm and a software package. It was developed by the British spallation neutron source (ISIS) Disordered Materials Group in 1980s, and aims to construct the most-probable atomic structures of disordered liquids. It has been extensively used during the past decades, and has generated reliable results. However, it is programmed in Fortran and implements a shared-memory architecture with OpenMP. With the extensive construction of supercomputer clusters and the widespread use of graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration technology, it is now necessary to rebuild the EPSR with these techniques in the effort to improve its calculation speed. In this study, an open source framework NeuDATool is proposed. It is programmed in the object-oriented language C++, can be paralleled across nodes within a computer cluster, and supports GPU acceleration. The performance of NeuDATool has been tested with water and amorphous silica neutron scattering data. The test shows that the software could reconstruct the correct microstructure of the samples, and the calculation speed with GPU acceleration could increase by more than 400 times compared with CPU serial algorithm at a simulation box consists about 100 thousand atoms. NeuDATool provides another choice for scientists who are familiar with C++ programming and want to define specific models and algorithms for their analyses.

Water/Cosolvent Attraction Induced Phase Separation: a Molecular Picture of Cononsolvency

Cononsolvency is a phenomenon for which the solubility of a macromolecule decreases or even vanishes in the mixture of two good solvents. Although it has been widely applied in physicochemical, green chemical and pharmaceutical industry, its origin is still under active debate. Here, by using combined neutron total scattering, deuterium-labelling and all-atom molecular dynamic simulations, we demonstrated that it is the strong water/cosolvent attraction that leads to the cononsolvency. The combined approach presented here has opened a new route for investigating the most probable all-atom structure in macromolecular solutions and the thermodynamic origin of solubilities.

LDPC Codes Based on the Space of Symmetric Matrices over Finite Fields

In this paper, we present a new method for explicitly constructing regular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes based on $\mathbb{S}_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$, the space of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Using this method, we obtain two classes of binary LDPC codes, $\cal{C}(n,q)$ and $\cal{C}^{T}(n,q)$, both of which have grith $8$. Then both the minimum distance and the stopping distance of each class are investigated. It is shown that the minimum distance and the stopping distance of $\cal{C}^{T}(n,q)$ are both $2q$. As for $\cal{C}(n,q)$, we determine the minimum distance and the stopping distance for some special cases and obtain the lower bounds for other cases.

An extended segment pattern dictionary for pattern matching tracking algorithm at BESIII

A pattern matching based tracking algorithm, named MdcPatRec, is used for the reconstruction of charged tracks in the drift chamber of the BESIII detector. This paper addresses the shortage of segment finding in MdcPatRec algorithm. An extended segment construction scheme and the corresponding pattern dictionary are presented. Evaluation with Monte-Carlo and experimental data show that the new method can achieve higher efficiency for low transverse momentum tracks.
