从双层规划的角度看道德风险理论的一阶条件方法

本文首先对双层规划的一个特殊例子即道德风险模型中使用的一阶条件方法（FOA）做简要的梳理，然后提出一种更为一般的使FOA有效的原则与方法。新方法主要依赖于代理人对委托人设置的目标的最优反应映射是否存在不动点，这个性质不要求原问题与用一阶条件放松以后的问题之间的约束集等价，从而也不要求代理人的期望效用对行动具有全局凹性。在新方法下，可以用较为简单的方法证明FOA在以下两种情形之一有效，即如果分布函数是概率分布的凸组合或者分布函数来自某些特殊的指数族分布。     

基于自适应预测滤波理论的模数转换器设计方法

基于自适应差分量化理论，提出了在不增加转换位数的情况下提高模数转换器(ADC)动态范围的一种设计方法。该方法通过量化输入与预测的差值来获得预测增益，从而扩大ADC的动态范围；通过差分量化值与预测值相加得到输出信号，并将该分别采用LMS和RLS算法进行处理．得到输入信号的预测值．计算机模拟结果证实，上述两种算法均能使模数转换器的动态范围提高约25dB．比较而言，RLS算法收敛速度更快，收敛性更好，但计算量较大．     

Nanotechnology in the Chemical Industry – Opportunities and Challenges

The traditional chemical industry has become a largely mature industry with many commodity products based on established technologies. Therefore, new product and market opportunities will more likely come from speciality chemicals, and from new functionalities obtained from new processing technologies as well as new microstructure control methodologies. It is a well-known fact that in addition to its molecular structure, the microstructure of a material is key to determining its properties. Controlling structures at the micro- and nano-levels is therefore essential to new discoveries. For this article, we define nanotechnology as the controlled manipulation of nanomaterials with at least one dimension less than 100nm. Nanotechnology is emerging as one of the principal areas of investigation that is integrating chemistry and materials science, and in some cases integrating these with biology to create new and yet undiscovered properties that can be exploited to gain new market opportunities. In this article market opportunities for nanotechnology will be presented from an industrial perspective covering electronic, biomedical, performance materials, and consumer products. Manufacturing technology challenges will be identified, including operations ranging from particle formation, coating, dispersion, to characterization, modeling, and simulation. Finally, a nanotechnology innovation roadmap is proposed wherein the interplay between the development of nanoscale building blocks, product design, process design, and value chain integration is identified. A suggestion is made for an R&D model combining market pull and technology push as a way to quickly exploit the advantages in nanotechnology and translate these into customer benefits.

Cotangent cohomology of Stanley-Reisner rings

Simplicial complexes X provide commutative rings A(X) via the Stanley- Reisner construction. We calculated the cotangent cohomology, i.e., T¹ and T² of A(X) in terms of X. These modules provide information about the deformation theory of the algebro geometric objects assigned to X.     

THE STUDY OF SERS EFFECT AND ADSORPTION PROPERTY ON Cu SURFACE FOR PNBA

With different amounts of KCl added in the PNBA(p- nitro benzoic acid) aqueous solution, the factors affecting the SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) are studied systematically on the surface of Copper. The results show that in PNBA aqueous solution the occurrence of SERS effect stongly depends on the existence of Cl^-. The amount of KCl added affects not only the emergence and the intensity of SERS effect, but also the adsorption properties such as the adsorption manner,etc.     

Geometric algebra techniques for general relativity

Geometric (Clifford) algebra provides an efficient mathematical language for describing physical problems. We formulate general relativity in this language. The resulting formalism combines the efficiency of differential forms with the straightforwardness of coordinate methods. We focus our attention on orthonormal frames and the associated connection bivector, using them to find the Schwarzschild and Kerr solutions, along with a detailed exposition of the Petrov types for the Weyl tensor.
