This antenna utilizes two pairs of cross dipoles and a pair of phase delay lines to form circularly polarized radiation. Open-circuit stubs are symmetrically loaded on the four arms of these dipole pairs to introduce new circularly polarized resonating frequencies. Additionally, a symmetrically positioned rectangular ring patch is introduced directly beneath the cross dipoles to generate the third circularly polarized resonating frequency, thereby enhancing the axial ratio bandwidth of the antenna symmetrically. Furthermore, metal posts are symmetrically loaded at the four right angles of the rectangular ring patch to augment the antenna gain, maintaining the overall symmetrical balance crucial for optimal circularly polarized radiation performance. This symmetric design ensures that the antenna achieves a 3dB axial ratio bandwidth of 29.2% (1.9–2.55 GHz) and sustains a gain of 7.5 dB within the passband, showcasing excellent circularly polarized radiation attributes.","PeriodicalId":501198,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry","volume":"43 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By utilizing powerful generating function techniques for various irreducible representations, we derive the combinatorial enumerations of all possible dice in n-dimensional space with hyperoctahedral symmetries. Likewise, a number of shapes that exhibit icosahedral symmetries such as a truncated dodecahedron and a truncated icosahedron are considered for the combinatorial problem of dice enumerations with the corresponding shapes. We consider several dice with cubic symmetries such as the truncated octahedron, dodecahedron, and Rubik’s cube shapes. It is shown that all enumerated dice are chiral, and we provide the counts of chiral pairs of dice in the n-dimensional space. During the combinatorial enumeration, it was discovered that two different shapes of dice exist with the same chiral pair count culminating to the novel concept of isochiral polyhedra. The combinatorial problem of dice enumeration is generalized to multi-coloring partitions. Applications to chirality in n-dimension, molecular clusters, zeolites, mesoporous materials, cryptography, and biology are also pointed out. Applications to the nonlinear n-dimensional hypercube and other dicey encryptions are exemplified with romantic, clandestine messages: “I love U” and “V Elope at 2”.","PeriodicalId":501198,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry","volume":"14 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a long time, the angle–time mapping was assumed to be angularly uniform. Recent investigations have demonstrated that the angle–time mapping is discontinuous for the low-energy electron at the angle for the minimum yield. However, the previous results were interpreted based on the assumption of s-electron initial states for noble-gas atoms, and the effect of the initial orbital symmetry on the angle–time mapping has been rarely investigated. In this work, we investigate the influence of the initial orbital symmetry on time–energy distribution using F− ions as a specific example. We demonstrate that the initial orbital symmetry significantly impacts the time–energy distribution. This behavior can be well explained by the saddle-point method. More interestingly, it is found that the angle–time mapping is strongly dependent on the initial orbital symmetry in the elliptically polarized laser field, especially for the low-energy electrons. Our work holds great significance for further developing the attoclock scheme.","PeriodicalId":501198,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry","volume":"139 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141947560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the interaction between individual cognition and external potential fields in complex social systems is explored, integrating perspectives from physics, cognitive psychology, and social science. Subsequently, a new modeling method for the multidimensional potential field mechanism is proposed, aiming to reduce individual behavioral errors and cognitive dissonance, thereby improving system efficiency and accuracy. The approach uses cooperative control and distributed learning algorithms to simulate collective behavior, allowing individuals to iteratively adapt based on local information and collective intelligence. Simulations highlight the impact of factors such as individual density, noise intensity, communication radius, and negative potential fields on collective dynamics. For instance, in a high-density environment with 180 individuals, increased social friction and competition for resources significantly decrease collective search efficiency. Validation is achieved by comparing simulation results with existing research, showing consistency and improvements over traditional models. In noisy environments, simulations maintain higher accuracy and group cohesion compared to standard methods. Additionally, without communication, the Mean Squared Error (MSE) initially drops rapidly as individuals adapt but stabilizes over time, emphasizing the importance of communication in maintaining collective efficiency. The study concludes that collective behavior emerges from complex nonlinear interactions between individual cognition and potential fields, rather than being merely the sum of individual actions. These insights enhance the understanding of complex system dynamics, providing a foundation for future applications in adaptive urban environments and the design of autonomous robots and AI systems.","PeriodicalId":501198,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry","volume":"14 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141926306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This situation corresponds, for example, to DA and DBA white dwarfs. We obtained those analytical results by using the formalism of the so-called conventional (or standard) theory of the impact Stark broadening: namely, by performing calculations in the second order of the Dyson perturbation expansion. The primary outcome was that the dynamical Stark broadening was found to not depend on the magnetic field B (for sufficiently strong B). In the present paper, we use the O4 symmetry of hydrogen atoms for performing the corresponding non-perturbative analytical calculations equivalent to accounting for all orders of the Dyson perturbation expansion. The results, obtained by using the O4 symmetry of hydrogen atoms, differ from our previous ones not only quantitatively, but—most importantly—qualitatively. Namely, the dynamical Stark broadening does depend on the magnetic field B, even for strong B. These results should be important for revising the interpretation of the hydrogen Balmer lines observed in DA and DBA white dwarfs. We also address confusion in the literature on this subject.","PeriodicalId":501198,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry","volume":"28 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
