On reparametrization and the Gibbs sampler

Gibbs samplers derived under different parametrizations of the target density can have radically different rates of convergence. In this article, we specify conditions under which reparametrization leaves the convergence rate of a Gibbs chain unchanged. An example illustrates how these results can be exploited in convergence rate analyses.     

High-pressure phase transitions of Cu2O

In the present study, we extensively explored the crystal structures of Cu₂O on increasing the pressure from 0 GPa to 24 GPa using the first-principles density functional calculations. A series of pressure-induced structure phase transitions of Cu₂O are examined. The calculated results show that the phase transitions (Pn-3m phase → R-3m phase → P-3m1 phase) occur at 5 GPa and 12 GPa, respectively. The P-3m1 phase is found to be the metallic phase via band-gap closure under high pressure.     

Shorter nonparametric prediction intervals for an order statistic from a future sample

Standard nonparametric prediction intervals for a future order statistic are obtained by taking the interval between two order statistics of the initial sample. We obtain improved prediction intervals by taking the shortest of two or more standard intervals.     

Coherent control of wavepacket dynamics by locally designed external field

A new coherent control theory for manipulating quantum mechanical dynamics is proposed. The control field is designed locally (in time domain) so as to realize monotonous increase of the overlap between currently evolving wavefunction and the time-dependent target state, which will eventually reach to a desired quantum state under field-free condition. The present theory is applied to one-dimensional harmonic oscillator and Morse potential systems.     

On the non existence of unbiased estimators of risk for spherically symmetric distributions

We study existence of unbiased estimators of risk for estimators of the location parameter of a spherically symmetric distribution, when a residual vector is available to estimate scale, under invariant quadratic loss. We show such existence often characterizes normality.     

超临界CO2萃取与水蒸气蒸馏法研究泽兰中挥发性有机物

以超临界CO2萃取法(SFE)提取中药泽兰中的挥发性有机物,经气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)分析,人工解析质谱图及计算机谱库检索相结合进行化学成分结构鉴定,用面积归一化法计算各组分的相对含量。SFE法提取的产率为0.78%,共鉴定75种挥发性化合物,主要成分为植醇、石竹烯氧化物、十六酸、亚油酸、葎草烯等,比文献报道的该挥发油成分多且含量差异较大,其中松香芹醇、蒲勒烯、马鞭烯酮、香芹酮、十六酸、亚油酸、葎草烯、十六酸乙酯、亚麻酸等多种成分未见报道。与水蒸气蒸馏法(SD)提取的泽兰挥发油进行比较,后者提取的产率为0.12%,从中鉴定出50种化合物,主要成分为石竹烯氧化物、柠檬烯、α-蒎烯、葎草烯、月桂烯等。SFE与SD得到的成分仅有31种相同,其它各不相同。
