Generalized evaluation in decision analysis

The paper presents a discussion on evaluation methods in decision analysis. The presentation begins with the discussion of the expected value rule for selection amongst a number of available courses of action. Then a number of other evaluation rules to either replace or supplement the expected value are presented. They are discussed from a choice rather than preference view. To improve the expected value rule (or any other similar rule), it is suggested that it should be supplemented with other, qualitative rules rather than engaging in further modifications in pursuit of the perfect rule. A characteristic of qualitative rules is that they do not rely on multiplying probabilities and values but treat them as separate numeric entities. Once a rule has been agreed upon, it can be applied to all the alternatives, provided there is a computational procedure for evaluating the alternatives under that rule. Delta dominance is introduced as a unifying concept for many of the dominance rules in current use. Dominance and threshold methods are discussed and the kinship between them is pointed out.     

Blue-excited luminescence of Eu-doped strontium boroaluminate glasses

We report on a blue-excited luminescence phenomenon in Eu²⁺-doped strontium boroaluminate glasses in this paper. The emission wavelengths strongly depend on the B₂O₃ content in the glasses, changing hue from green to yellow. The excitation spectra exhibit a peculiar blue excitation window that the excitation at UV band is strongly depressed and at blue band is enhanced correspondingly. The low emission quantum efficiency in the glasses can be significantly improved by forming a strontium boroaluminate glass-ceramics, accompanying with the window disappearance.     

一种新的拓扑指数用于手性化合物的构效关系研究

为了研究羟酸类和氨基酸类手性化合物的构效关系,本实验引进了手性乘积算法:P＝(1-b/a)(1-c/b)(1-a/c)(1-a/d),其中a、b、c和d分别为与分子中手性中心碳原子4个不同连接片断手性eAm指数和分子连接性指数mx的计算值,并考察了所得参数与羟酸类和氨基酸类化合物手性薄层色谱保留指数的相关性.为了评定所得预测模型的稳定性,文中运用了交叉验证法.结果表明,由人工神经网络方法(BP法)所得数学模型比较稳定,且明显优于多元回归分析结果.

Foams and foam films stabilised by solid particles

Recent developments in the field of particle-stabilised aqueous foams and foam films are reviewed. Reports on ultrastable foams stabilised by solid particles are highlighted and factors responsible for the extraordinary foam stability are discussed in view of the recent experimental and theoretical results. Mechanisms of foam film stabilisation by solid particles and the role of different factors in the film stability are considered. Link between the film stability and that of particle-stabilised foams is discussed.     

Powder x-ray diffraction and Rietveld analysis of (C_2H_5NH_3)_2CuCl_4

Structural properties of the organic-inorganic hybrid(C_2H_5NH_3)_2CuCl_4 have been investigated by means of x-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld analysis. A structural phase transition from Pbca to Aba2 occurs at T_4= 240 K, which results in a paraelectric–ferroelectric phase transition. The release of the Jahn–Teller distortion with increasing temperature toward T_4 is revealed by the structural analysis.

Properties of lipophilic nucleoside monolayers at the air–water interface

The capability of self-assembly and molecular recognition of biomolecules is essential for many nanotechnological applications, as in the use of alkyl-modified nucleosides and oligonucleotides to increase the cellular uptake of DNA and RNA. In this study, we show that a lipophilic nucleoside, which is an isomer mixture of 2′-palmitoyluridin und 3′-palmitoyluridin, forms Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir–Blodgett films as a typical amphiphile, though with a smaller elasticity. The nucleoside may be incorporated into dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) monolayers that serve as a simplified cell membrane model. The molecular-level interactions between the nucleoside and DPPC led to a remarkable condensation of the mixed monolayer, which affected both surface pressure and surface potential isotherms. The morphology of the mixed monolayers was dominated by the small domains of the nucleoside. The mixed monolayers could be deposited onto solid substrates as a one-layer Langmuir Blodgett film that displayed UV–vis absorption spectra typical of aggregated nucleosides owing to the interaction between the nucleoside and DPPC. The formation of solid films with DNA building blocks in the polar heads may open the way for devices and sensors be produced to exploit their molecular recognition properties.
