To tackle these limitations, we propose the 3D manipulation of Janus particles using focused cylindrical vector beams with a doughnut shaped intensity profile above the focal spot. In particular, we study the behaviour, orientation and manipulation of different highly reflective Janus particles composed of silica or polystyrene with a gold cap in the presence of optical potentials generated by focused cylindrical vector beams.

Average flows are created by these inflows combined, and the strength of these flows depends on the amount of flux present during the solar cycle. In models of the solar cycle, this average flow can be depicted as perturbations to the meridional flow. In this article, we study the effects of introducing surface inflow to the surface flux transport models (SFT) as a possible nonlinear mechanism in the presence of latitude quenching for an inflow profile whose amplitude varies within a cycle depending on the magnetic activity. Using a grid based on one-dimensional SFT models, we methodically investigate the extent of the nonlinearity caused by inflows, latitude quenching (LQ), and their combinations. The results show that including surface inflows in the model in the presence of both LQ and tilt quenching (TQ) produced a polar field within a <span>(pm 1sigma )</span> of an average cycle polar field (<span>(sigma )</span> is the standard deviation) with a correlation coefficient of 0.85. We confirm that including inflows produces a lower net contribution to the dipole moment (10 – 25%). Furthermore, the relative importance of LQ vs. inflows is inversely correlated with the dynamo effectivity range (<span>(lambda _{R})</span>). With no decay term, introducing inflows into the model results in a less significant net contribution to the dipole moment. Including inflows in the SFT model shows a possible nonlinear relationship between the surface inflows and the solar dipole moment, suggesting a potential nonlinear mechanism contributing to the saturation of the global dynamo. For lower <span>(lambda _{R})</span> (<span>(lessapprox 10^{circ })</span>), TQ always dominates LQ, and for higher <span>(lambda _{R})</span>, LQ dominates.

When the plane wave (PW) incidents into the waveguide, it exercises a mode conversion of PW-surface wave (SW)-PW. As SWs are confined by GIBs, obstacles in the waveguide between the confined SWs become invisible to the incident PW with negligible reflection. Thus, an acoustic waveguide cloak is obtained. The experiments demonstrate the negligible reflection (<5 %) in the waveguide coated with GIBs, i.e., in our proposed acoustic waveguide cloak from 2.62 kHz to 3.74 kHz. However, in the same frequencies, the incident PW is almost totally reflected (>98 %) in the waveguide without GIBs. It agrees well with the simulation results and the theoretical predictions. Thus, a broadband acoustic waveguide cloak is obtained.

However, the lack of accurate structural information in mixed speech samples, which combine speech and Gaussian noise, still poses inference challenges and thereby affects speech quality. This paper introduces a novel generative model, SB-SENet, based on the Schrödinger bridge for speech enhancement. The Schrödinger bridge constructs the optimal transport path from the initial probability distribution to the target probability distribution by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence cost function. This process is part of the entropy-regularized optimal path solution, aiming to approximate the noisy speech sample to the clean speech sample through probability distributions to obtain the predicted sample. Unlike diffusion models, which first learn the forward diffusion process from the noisy speech sample to a Gaussian distribution, SB-SENet directly learns the nonlinear diffusion process from the noisy speech sample to the clean speech sample, preserving more structural information about the initial sample. SB-SENet model utilizes a Transformer to capture unique features of time-series signals and a U-Net network to fuse multi-scale information. The loss function is constructed using a score-based generative framework, incorporating phase loss, magnitude loss, and metric loss to gradually reduce the difference between the predicted sample and the clean speech sample. Experimental results show that, in terms of speech quality, the SB-SENet model proposed in this paper achieves a PESQ score of 3.79 on the Voicebank+DEMAND dataset and a PESQ score of 3.65 on the DNS Challenge dataset, achieving state-of-the-art performance compared to recent speech enhancement models.
