Epidemic Dynamics with Feedback Mechanism in Exponential Networks

We introduce a feedback mechanism to study the spreading of an epidemic by analytical methods and large scale simulations in exponential networks. It is found that introducing the feedback mechanism can reduce the density of infected individuals, Furthermore, it does not change the epidemic threshold （critical point） λc. These results can help us to understand epidemic spreading phenomena on social networks more practically and design appropriate strategies to control social infections.     

Simultaneous EQCM and diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectroelectrochemical measurements: poly(aniline-co-o-anthranilic acid) growth and property characterization

Piezoelectric diffuse reflectance spectroelectrochemistry (PDRSEC), a new technique of diffuse reflectance spectroelectrochemistry (DRSEC) in combination with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), was developed to study the electrochemical copolymerization of aniline and o-anthranilic acid in 1.0 mol l(-1) HClO4 and the properties of these copolymers. The DRSEC using an integral sphere was proven to possess a higher optical sensitivity at the unpolished piezoelectric quartz crystal electrodes used than the mirror reflectance spectroelectrochemistry mode. The copolymers grown from the copolymerization bath of different molar fractions of o-anthranilic acid (F1, relative to the total amount of the two monomers) showed intermediate properties between those of the homopolymers, which varied gradually with F1. The swelling/dissolution behavior of the copolymers vs solution pH was traced via the EQCM frequency and resistance signals, and its large dependence on F1 was found and discussed. In a HAc-NaAc buffer solution at pH 5.6, the amount of adsorbed lysozyme was found to be positively correlated with F1, via an EQCM impedance investigation, demonstrating the feasibility of using poly(aniline-co-o-anthranilic acid) as a load-adjustable immobilization matrix for cationic proteins. The novel PDRSEC method proposed is highly recommended for surface electrochemistry studies at relatively rough electrodes.     

Amine- and phosphine-free palladium(II)-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of terminal alkynes

An efficient, amine- and phosphine-free palladium(II)-catalyzed homocoupling of terminal alkynes has been developed. In the presence of PdCl₂, CuI, Me₃NO, and NaOAc, homocoupling of various terminal alkynes underwent smoothly to afford the corresponding diynes in moderate to high yields without any phosphine ligands. In contrast, the presence of a phosphine ligand (PPh₃) disfavored this palladium-catalyzed homocoupling procedure. Bases, solvents, and CuI have fundamental influence on the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of terminal alkynes.     

Unicyclic Graphs with Minimal Energy

If G is a graph and ₁,₂,..., _n are its eigenvalues, then the energy of G is defined as E(G)=|₁|+|₂|++| _n |. Let S _n ³ be the graph obtained from the star graph with n vertices by adding an edge. In this paper we prove that S _n ³ is the unique minimal energy graph among all unicyclic graphs with n vertices (n6).     

In Situ Monitoring of Generation and Precipitation of Ferric Hydroxide Sol with a Piezoelectric Quartz Crystal Impedance Analyzer

The piezoelectric quartz crystal (PQC) impedance technique was applied to monitor in situ generation and precipitation of the ferric hydroxide sol in aqueous solutions at 90 degrees C. Equivalent circuit parameters and resonant frequencies as well as the half-peak width of the electroacoustic conductance spectrum deltaf(G1/2) for the PQC resonance were obtained and analyzed. Three stages, sol generation and simultaneous adsorption, adsorption equilibrium, and precipitation of ferric hydroxide sol could be identified in the process of adding the ferric nitrate solution into the hot water. A scheme of two consecutive reactions occurring at the electrode/solution interface was used to analyze the adsorption kinetics of ferric hydroxide sol onto the Au electrode. In addition, the electrolyte-induced precipitation of the colloid was monitored and discussed. Temperature effect on the PQC resonance behavior in liquid was also investigated. Since the PQC impedance technique provides multidimensional piezoelectric information in situ, it is highly recommended for studying the process of sol-gel generation and precipitation.

Exact Fixed-node Quantum Monte Carlo： Self-optimizing Procedure

In this paper, a novel exact fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo (EFNQMC) algorithm was proposed, which is a self-optimizing and self-improving procedure. In contrast to the previous EFN-QMC method, the importance function of this method is optimized synchronistically in the diffusion procedure, but not be-fore beginning the EFNQMC computation. In order to optimize the importance function, the improved steepest descent tech-nique is used, in which the step size is automatically adjustable.The procedure is quasi-Newton type and converges super linear-ly. The present method also uses a novel trial function, which has correct electron-electron and electron-nucleus cusp condi-tious. The novel EFNQMC algorithm and the novel trial func-tion are employed to calculate the energies of 1 ^1A1 state of CH2, ^1Ag state of Cs and the ground-states of H2, LiH, Li2 and H2O.     

A new algorithm for the fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo method

A novel algorithm is proposed for the fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo (FNQMC) method.In contrast to previous procedures,its "guiding function" is not optimized prior to diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) computation but synchronistically in the diffusion process The new algorithm can not only save CPU time,but also make both of the optimization and diffusion carried out according to the same sampling fashion,reaching the goal to improve each other This new optimizing procedure converges super-linearly,and thus can accelerate the particle diffusion During the diffusion process,the node of the "guiding function" changes incessantly,which is conducible to reducing the "fixed-node error" The new algorithm has been used to calculate the total energies of states X3B1 and a1A1 of CH2 as well as π-X2B1 and λ-2A1 of NH2 The singlet-triplet energy splitting (λEsT) in CH2 and π energy splitting in NH2 obtained with this present method are (45 542±1.840) and (141.644±1.589) kJ/mol,respectively The calculated

固溶体结构对Ca2-xSrxZn4Ti15O36∶Pr3+发光性质的影响

Ca_2-xSr_xZn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶Pr red long decay phosphor was synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction. Photoluminescence property and crystalline and unit cell parameters of the orthorhombic were investigated by fluorescence spectrophotometer and by powder X-ray diffraction, respectively. The emission intensity at 618 nm changes sharply when the concentration of Sr²⁺ (x) is less than 0.1 and the emission intensity reaches the maximum when x is equal to 0.007. There is an obviously broad excitation band at 270 nm when x is equal to 0.003 and it disappears gradually when x is over 0.01. The unit cell a parameter of Ca_2-xSr_xZn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶Pr decreases while c parameter increases with the increases of the concentration of the doped Sr²⁺. When x is over 0.1 the value of the unit cell parameters a and c become stable. TL peaks of Ca₂Zn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶Pr, Ca_1.993Sr_0.007Zn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶0.002Pr³⁺, 0.002Na⁺, are located at 62 ℃, 88 ℃, respectively, which indicates that there are deeper traps in Ca_1.993Sr_0.007Zn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶0.002Pr³⁺, 0.002Na⁺.
