In this work, a new multifocal rigid gas permeable (MFRGP) contact lens for myopia prevention and control in adolescents was designed specifically for preventing and controlling myopia in adolescents. This lens features a multi-tangent alignment curve, smaller spherical aberration, and transition defocus. FocalPoints and UPC 100 Vision were used for lens design and lathing, respectively. The lens structure and power profile were measured using IS830 and CONTEST 2, respectively. The elimination of lens aberrations was achieved through design optimization using ZEMAX with ray tracing. Lens fitting was evaluated using slit-lamp microscopy and corneal topography.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20172,"journal":{"name":"Physics Letters A","volume":"526 ","pages":"Article 129947"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research using collective-risk social dilemma games shows that rewards and punishments can mitigate this issue.

Here, we introduce pure institutional reward and punishment strategies into collective-risk social dilemma games, where individuals implementing incentives do not bear the costs of cooperation, to investigate their effects on the evolution of cooperation. We find that the introduction of pure reward strategy can promote the stable coexistence of cooperators and free riders within the population. In contrast, the introduction of pure punishment strategies can lead to more diverse dynamics, including monostable, bistable, tristable, and even quadristable outcomes. Our findings highlight the superiority of pure punishment strategies over pure reward strategies in curbing free-rider behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20172,"journal":{"name":"Physics Letters A","volume":"526 ","pages":"Article 129951"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The images of such linear maps are called the testing regions of the corresponding model or measurement. Testing regions are notoriously impractical to treat analytically in the quantum case. Our first result is to provide an implicit outer approximation of the testing region of any given quantum statistical model or measurement in any finite dimension: namely, a region in probability space that contains the desired image, but is defined implicitly, using a formula that depends only on the given model or measurement. The outer approximation that we construct is <em>minimal</em> among all such outer approximations, and <em>close</em>, in the sense that it becomes the <em>maximal inner</em> approximation up to a constant scaling factor.

By altering the network structure and model parameters, the robustness performance of the LEO satellite network under three types of attacks and two different load distribution methods is thoroughly investigated. The results indicate that satellite networks with varying structures are distinct and exhibit different robustness characteristics under specific attack types. Furthermore, the robustness of satellite networks in multiple attack scenarios can be significantly enhanced by implementing improved load allocation strategies.
