A systematic study of the fission and evaporation residue excitation functions in complete fusion reactions with weakly bound stable nuclei

We carry out a systematic study on the fusion-fission and evaporation residue excitation functions for the reactions of ^6,7Li, ⁹Be, ^10,11B + ²⁰⁹Bi and ^6,9Li, ⁹Be + ²⁰⁸Pb, in which the projectiles are loosely bound and have low threshold energies against breakup. The fusion cross sections are calculated by the coupled-channel model. The compound nuclei decay are analyzed with the standard statistical model. The fission and evaporation residue excitation functions are well reproduced by our calculations, proving the validity of the standard statistical model in describing the compound nuclei decay in these characteristic reactions. For the compound nuclei with A=215-220 and Z=86-88, the liquid drop fission barriers need to be scaled by 0.80-1.02 to reproduce the experimental data. And a decreasing trend of the scaling factor with increasing fissionability parameter Z²/(50A) is found.     

Subgroup analysis of zero-inflated Poisson regression model with applications to insurance data

Customized personal rate offering is of growing importance in the insurance industry. To achieve this, an important step is to identify subgroups of insureds from the corresponding heterogeneous claim frequency data. In this paper, a penalized Poisson regression approach for subgroup analysis in claim frequency data is proposed. Subjects are assumed to follow a zero-inflated Poisson regression model with group-specific intercepts, which capture group characteristics of claim frequency. A penalized likelihood function is derived and optimized to identify the group-specific intercepts and effects of individual covariates. To handle the challenges arising from the optimization of the penalized likelihood function, an alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm is developed and its convergence is established. Simulation studies and real applications are provided for illustrations.     

SFE-SSD: 浅层特征增强的SSD算法在小目标检测问题中的研究与应用

SSD (Single Shot Multibox Dectetor)算法由于具有高速且高精度的检测性能,是目前最好的目标检测算法之一.但由于提取检测框的特征层的特征信息不足, SSD算法在小目标检测任务中表现不佳.为了解决这个问题,目前大部分方法以严重牺牲检测速度为代价提升目标检测模型的精度. 本文提出了SFE-SSD (Shallow Feature Enhancement SSD)提升SSD模型在小目标检测任务中的性能.首先我们采用反卷积操作对SSD算法中检测框金字塔特征层的最浅特征层进行特征扩张.接着通过特征融合机制对扩张后的特征层进行特征增强操作.浅层特征增强策略与SSD 的原始框提取金字塔特征层是并行结构,一定程度上是可以减少检测速度的损失.实验结果显示,我们的方法在PASCAL VOC 2007数据库上精度达到了78.4\%mAP高于SSD算法1.2\%,检测速度达到了81帧/秒,并且在小目标检测任务中有着显著的提升.

Expression and Characterization of an Active Chimeric Protein of Human Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase and hCuZnSOD in Pichiapastoris

Mammalian cells express two isoforms of Cu-and Zn-containing superoxide dismutases(SODs),CuZnSOD and extracellular SOD(EC-SOD),involved in the defense system against reactive oxygen species(ROS).The two SODs have structurally homologous centre domain with distinct N-and C-terminuses,resulting in the different characteristics of the structure and function of the two molecules.We generated a hybrid SOD molecule(namely hySOD) via replacing the N-and C-terminuses of hCuZnSOD with the counterparts of hEC-SOD.The...     

A DNA‐Programmed Liposome Fusion Cascade

Chemically engineered and functionalized nanoscale compartments are used in bottom‐up synthetic biology to construct compartmentalized chemical processes. Progressively more complex designs demand spatial and temporal control over entrapped species. Here, we address this demand with a DNA‐encoded design for the successive fusion of multiple liposome populations. Three individual stages of fusion are induced by orthogonally hybridizing sets of membrane‐anchored oligonucleotides. Each fusion event leads to efficient content mixing and transfer of the recognition unit for the subsequent stage. In contrast to fusion‐protein‐dependent eukaryotic vesicle processing, this artificial fusion cascade exploits the versatile encoding potential of DNA hybridization and is generally applicable to small and giant unilamellar vesicles. This platform could thus enable numerous applications in artificial cellular systems and liposome‐based synthetic pathways.     

Fusion of infrared polarization and intensity images using support value transform and fuzzy combination rules

Infrared polarization and intensity imagery provide complementary and discriminative information in image understanding and interpretation. In this paper, a novel fusion method is proposed by effectively merging the information with various combination rules. It makes use of both low-frequency and high-frequency images components from support value transform (SVT), and applies fuzzy logic in the combination process. Images (both infrared polarization and intensity images) to be fused are firstly decomposed into low-frequency component images and support value image sequences by the SVT. Then the low-frequency component images are combined using a fuzzy combination rule blending three sub-combination methods of (1) region feature maximum, (2) region feature weighting average, and (3) pixel value maximum; and the support value image sequences are merged using a fuzzy combination rule fusing two sub-combination methods of (1) pixel energy maximum and (2) region feature weighting. With the variables of two newly defined features, i.e. the low-frequency difference feature for low-frequency component images and the support-value difference feature for support value image sequences, trapezoidal membership functions are proposed and developed in tuning the fuzzy fusion process. Finally the fused image is obtained by inverse SVT operations. Experimental results of visual inspection and quantitative evaluation both indicate the superiority of the proposed method to its counterparts in image fusion of infrared polarization and intensity images.     

Assessment of Hydrocarbon Electron‐Impact Ionization Cross Section Measurements for Magnetic Fusion

Partial ionization cross section experiments have been carried out recently at the University of Innsbruck for three types of hydrocarbons, i.e. acetylene, ethylene and propene. Cross section data fits are generated and compared to the compilation of earlier experimental data summarized in the online database HYDKIN [www.hydkin.de]. New data fits are brought into a suitable form to be incorporated into the database. In order to illuminate underlying dissociation mechanisms the energy dependence of branching ratios above energies of 20 –30 eV is reviewed in light of the present results (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
