基于故事情景链语法的偶动画短片分析与建模

偶动画是动画领域一个重要的分支，与传统手绘动画同步出现，甚至更早。偶动画作品以其独特的拍摄方法和艺术魅力，为众多艺术家和观众所喜爱。偶动画影片设计周期长、工作量大、生产过程复杂、经济风险高，用传统手工工艺制作完成一部5 min的定格动画影片，通常需要数年。本文以丹麦知名动画导演克里多夫·皮拉丹的《柏树山上的风》及德国格里高利·祖坎导演的《龙焰火枪》为例，提出以故事情节(storyline(i)),?i∈1,2,…,n?与情景链（scenario?chain）语法有限集的形式语言表达式分解偶动画电影的故事元素，通过叙事空间（narrative?space）中镜头画面的组接逻辑，形成不同叙事结构，以分析定格动画电影的故事寓意（implied?meaning），从故事计算的角度将其转化为标准化设计流程，为构建偶动画电影故事建模理论以及辅助智能计算提供思路，方法提高了偶动画电影的设计与制作效率，为多学科协同创作提供了新模式，使普通偶动画爱好者也能参与创作。     

Determination of the Absolute Configuration of Super-Carbon-Chain Compounds by a Combined Chemical,Spectroscopic, and Computational Approach: Gibbosols A and B

Marine dinoflagellates produce remarkable organic molecules, particularly those with polyoxygenated long-carbon-chain backbones, namely super-carbon-chain compounds (SCCCs), characterized by the presence of numerous stereogenic carbon centers on acyclic polyol carbon chains. Even today, it is a challenge to determine the absolute configurations of these compounds. In this work, the planar structures and absolute configurations of two highly flexible SCCCs, featuring either a C₆₉- or C₇₁-linear carbon backbone, gibbosols A and B, respectively, each containing thirty-seven stereogenic carbon centers, were unambiguously established by a combined chemical, spectroscopic, and computational approach. The discovery of gibbosols A and B with two hydrophilic acyclic polyol chains represents an unprecedented class of SCCCs. A reasonable convergent strategy for the biosynthesis of these SCCCs was proposed.

供应链视角下的增值税改革影响研究

构建了一个制造商和一个零售商所组成的两级供应链模型,研究增值税税率下调对供应链决策和社会福利的影响.结果表明,下调制造商、零售商增值税税率都会使产品零售价降低,提高零售商和制造商的利润.下调增值税税率给制造商带来的利润增量大于给零售商带来的利润增量.制造商税率下调导致批发价降低,零售商税率下调反而提高批发价.社会福利的变化趋势与潜在需求规模有关.当潜在需求规模较高时,社会福利总是随降税幅度的增大而增大,且税率降低后的社会福利大于税率降低前;当潜在需求规模中等时,社会福利随降税幅度的增大而减小,但税率降低后的社会福利仍大于税率降低前;当潜在需求规模较小时,社会福利随降税幅度的增大而减小,增值税税率下调损害了社会福利.     

Optimal control and numerical methods for hybrid stochastic SIS models

This work focuses on optimal controls of a class of stochastic SIS epidemic models under regime switching. By assuming that a decision maker can influence the infectivity period, our aim is to minimize the expected discounted cost due to illness, medical treatment, and the adverse effect on the society. In addition, a model with the incorporation of vaccination is proposed. Numerical schemes are developed by approximating the continuous-time dynamics using Markov chain approximation methods. It is demonstrated that the approximation schemes converge to the optimal strategy as the mesh size goes to zero. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate our results.     

Ratiometric Detection of microRNA Using Hybridization Chain Reaction and Fluorogenic Silver Nanoclusters

miRNA (miR)-155 is a potential biomarker for breast cancers. We aimed at developing a nanosensor for miR-155 detection by integrating hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). HCR serves as an enzyme-free and isothermal amplification method, whereas AgNCs provide a built-in fluorogenic detection probe that could simplify the downstream analysis. The two components were integrated by adding a nucleation sequence of AgNCs to the hairpin of HCR. The working principle was based on the influence of microenvironment towards the hosted AgNCs, whereby unfolding of hairpin upon HCR has manipulated the distance between the hosted AgNCs and cytosine-rich toehold region of hairpin. As such, the dominant emission of AgNCs changed from red to yellow in the absence and presence of miR-155, enabling a ratiometric measurement of miR with high sensitivity. The limit of detection (LOD) of our HCR-AgNCs nanosensor is 1.13 fM in buffered solution. We have also tested the assay in diluted serum samples, with comparable LOD of 1.58 fM obtained. This shows the great promise of our HCR-AgNCs nanosensor for clinical application.     

Kinetic model for Ostwald's rule of stages with applications to Boc-diphenylalanine self-assembly

A kinetic model which describes Ostwald's rule of stages, during the process of crystal growth from solution, is reported here. Reaction equations for stages are given where the stages convert from one to another. The final stage reacts to release a portion of solute back into solution, while the remainder converts to the final equilibrium form. Additionally, a remnant of the solute that was not consumed by any of the transitional stages, ultimately is converted into the final product. This particular model was motivated by a recent report for Boc-diphenylalanine self-assembly where the dissolved peptide was observed to go through two polymorphic stages before reaching the equilibrium supramolecular assembly [A. Levin et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 5219, (2014)]. Kinetic data for the concentration of solute present during the process are listed in the above-mentioned report. We show here how the model, for , describes the time-dependent behavior of the solute decay during the growth process. After comparing the model to the experimental data, we are able to report values for all of the rate constants and propose a rule whereby the relative magnitudes of these constants can be used to predict whether a supersaturated substance will noticeably pass through transitional stages or simply convert from solute to the equilibrium solid form.
