Discrete-time GI/Geo/1 queue with multiple working vacations

Consider the discrete time GI/Geo/1 queue with working vacations under EAS and LAS schemes. The server takes the original work at the lower rate rather than completely stopping during the vacation period. Using the matrix-geometric solution method, we obtain the steady-state distribution of the number of customers in the system and present the stochastic decomposition property of the queue length. Furthermore, we find and verify the closed property of conditional probability for negative binomial distributions. Using such property, we obtain the specific expression for the steady-state distribution of the waiting time and explain its two conditional stochastic decomposition structures. Finally, two special models are presented.

经济增长与宏观经济运行模型

对国民经济进行宏观调控，如同经济增长问题一样是一个永恒问题，对宏观调控的基本内容，手段，方法，国内外学者已进行了较多的规范性讨论，尤其是在数理分析方面，也已有许多具有普遍意义的成果，但是，要把那些成果转化为“生产力”从而变成清晰的，简明的，可操作的手段和方法，尚需人们不断的探索，本文通过对国民经济运行过程中若干宏观经济变量之间的数量关系分析，并以此建立了的国民经济宏观数量模型，就是尝试性的探索。     

Bioaccumulation and voltammetry of gold at flower-biomass modified electrodes

The bioaccumulation of gold at antheral cells from flower Datura innoxia is investigated by incorporating these plant cells into a carbon paste matrix. The resulting plant-modified electrode offers a preferential uptake of gold from dilute solutions. The voltammetric behavior of the surface-bound gold is examined under different preconcentration conditions. Scanning electron microscopy offers useful insights into the gold collection process. Convenient measurements of micromolar gold concentrations are possible, with effective self cleaning allowing the use of a single electrode in multiple determinations (R.S.D. of 4.8% for 50 repetitions). The sensitivity and selectivity enhancements associated with the preferential bioaccumulation process, and the convenient surface regeneration, offer the prospect of using the flower-biomass containing electrodes as sensors for gold.     

钕对番茄叶挥发性物质诱导效应的研究

以Nd3+诱导番茄叶,测定其对番茄叶挥发性物质组成和含量的影响。结果表明,番茄叶经60 mg.L-1Nd3+诱导120 h后,挥发性物质的总含量较对照组的增加57%;氧合脂类、萜类化合物、芳香族化合物的含量分别较对照组的提高73%,38%和32%。含量最高组分(E)-2-己烯醛较对照组的提高74%。含量显著性提高的组分还包括萜类化合物的β-水芹烯和α-石竹烯,芳香族化合物的丁子香酚,分别较对照组的提高129%,65%和309%。不同浓度的Nd3+均可促进挥发性物质的释放,且随诱导时间呈不同的变化趋势。一定浓度的Nd3+还可诱导番茄叶活性氧的释放以及几丁质酶和-β1,3-葡聚糖酶活力的提高。说明Nd3+可能通过提高番茄叶挥发性物质的含量,以增强其抗病能力。     

Elimination of matrix effects for headspace solid-phase microextraction of important volatile compounds in red wine using a novel coating

In this paper, hydroxy-terminated silicone oil-butyl methacrylate-divinylbenzene (OH-TSO-BMA-DVB) copolymer was first synthesized and used as stationary phase with the aid of γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxylsilane (KH-570) as bridge in solid-phase microextraction (SPME) using sol–gel method and cross-linking technique. It has high extraction efficiency for both polar alcohols and fatty acids and nonpolar esters in comparison with commercial PDMS, PDMS-DVB and PA fibers. A simple and sensitive headspace SPME-gas chromatography (HS-SPME-GC) method using the novel fiber was presented for the simultaneous analysis of both polar alcohols and fatty acids and nonpolar esters in wine. To check the matrix effects, various model wine matrices, including distilled water; 11.5% ethanol/water (v/v) solution; a concentrated synthetic wine; a ‘volatile-free’ wine and a real wine were investigated in detail. Matrix effects were compensated for by using internal standard method and selecting the ‘volatile-free’ wine as working standard. The method presented in this study showed satisfactory linearity, precision, detection limits and accuracy. The recoveries obtained ranged from 85.87 to 104.2%, and the relative standard deviation values were below 9%. The results obtained indicated that the present method is a validated and accurate procedure for the simultaneous determination of both polar and nonpolar aroma compounds in wine.     

Spectroscopic characterization of effective components anthraquinones in Chinese medicinal herbs binding with serum albumins

The interactions of serum albumins such as human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) with emodin, rhein, aloe-emodin and aloin were assessed employing fluorescence quenching and absorption spectroscopic techniques. The results obtained revealed that there are relatively strong binding affinity for the four anthraquinones with HSA and BSA and the binding constants for the interactions of anthraquinones with HSA or BSA at 20 degrees C were obtained. Anthraquinone-albumin interactions were studied at different temperatures and in the presence of some metal ions. And the competition binding of anthraquinones with serum albumins was also discussed. The Stern-Volmer curves suggested that the quenching occurring in the reactions was the static quenching process. The binding distances and transfer efficiencies for each binding reactions were calculated according to the F?ster theory of non-radiation energy transfer. Using thermodynamic equations, the main action forces of these reactions were also obtained. The reasons of the different binding affinities for different anthraquinone-albumin reactions were probed from the point of view of molecular structures.

Propane oxidation over Pd/LaFe0.8Co0.2O3 catalyst

Pd/LaFe_0.8Co_0.2O₃ was found to be more active than the Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst in propane oxidation. Activity and the oxidation state of palladium were strongly affected by the redox ratio (S) of reactants. Higher propane conversion could be obtained under rich conditions at higher temperatures, contributing to steam reforming. The presence of excess steam would bring about inhibition and oscillation.
