Megahertz-peaked spectra(MPS) pulsars are referred as cases whose radio spectra turn over around 100 MHz. We identified 53 MPS pulsars based on the spectral data from the literature, and statistically analyzed the spatial location distribution, the magnetic field-period distribution, peak frequencies, spectral indices, and dispersion measures of these MPS pulsars. We found that there is a strong positive correlation between the dispersion measures and the peak frequencies of MPS pulsars, and negative correlations of the dispersion measures with spectral indices and the ages are also found. Such correlations suggest that the interstellar medium is an important factor that affects observational properties of MPS pulsars.

As an innovative approach, Direct Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based blockchain is designed to overcome the scalability and performance limitations of traditional blockchain systems, which rely on sequential structures. The graph-based architecture of DAG allows for faster transactions and parallel processing, making it a compelling option across various industries. To enhance the analytical understanding of DAG-based blockchains, this paper begins by introducing a Markov model tailored for a DAG-based blockchain system, specifically focusing on the Tangle structure and the interaction between tips and newly arrived transactions. We then establish a continuous-time Markov process to analyze the DAG-based blockchain, demonstrating that this process is a level-dependent quasi-birth-and-death (QBD) process. We further prove that the QBD process is both irreducible and positively recurrent. Building on this foundation, we conduct a performance analysis of the DAG-based blockchain system by deriving the stationary probability vector of the QBD process. Notably, we introduce a novel method to calculate the average sojourn time of any arriving internal tip within the system using first passage times and Phase-type (PH) distributions. Finally, numerical examples are provided to validate our theoretical findings and to illustrate the influence of system parameters on the performance metrics.
