Electric potential and energy band in ZnO nanofiber tuned by local mechanical loading

Recent success in strain engineering has triggered tremendous interest in its study and potential applications in nanodevice design. In this paper, we establish a coupled piezoelectric/semiconducting model for a wurtzite structure ZnO nanofiber under the local mechanical loading. The energy band structure tuned by the local mechanical loading and local length is calculated via an eight-band k·p method, which includes the coupling of valance and conduction bands. Poisson's effect on the distribution of electric potential inversely depends on the local mechanical loading. Numerical results reveal that both the applied local mechanical loading and the local length exhibit obvious tuning effects on the electric potential and energy band. The band gap at band edges varies linearly with the applied loading. Changing the local length shifts the energy band which is far away from the band edges. This study will be useful in the electronic and optical enhancement of semiconductor devices.

硫酸铈铵对三角褐指藻岩藻黄素含量的影响及转录差异研究

利用血球计数法测定藻密度,研究不同浓度硫酸铈铵诱导子对三角褐指藻细胞生长的影响。采用高效液相色谱(HPLC)测定经不同浓度诱导子处理后三角褐指藻岩藻黄素的含量。通过荧光定量PCR研究岩藻黄素生物合成途径中相关基因转录差异,并利用SAS9.0统计软件对荧光定量PCR结果做主成分分析。结果显示:在一定浓度范围内硫酸铈铵(0.2~1.6 mg·L-1)抑制三角褐指藻细胞的生长。HPLC结果表明:随着硫酸铈铵浓度的增加,岩藻黄素含量呈先上升后下降的趋势,当硫酸铈铵浓度为0.2 mg·L-1时,岩藻黄素含量最高,达1.28 mg·g-1DW,比对照组提高了60%。定量PCR分析结果表明,硫酸铈铵浓度在0.2 mg·L-1时,岩藻黄素生物合成相关基因玉米黄素环氧酶基因(zep)、八氢番茄红素合成酶基因(pys)、ζ-胡萝卜素脱氢酶基因(zds)、番茄红素β-环化酶基因(lcyb)、胡萝卜素异构酶基因(rtiso)和八氢番茄红素脱氢酶基因(pds)转录水平与对照组相比极显著提高(P<0.01),与岩藻黄素含量变化相一致。主成分分析(PCA)结果表明:这些基因与岩藻黄素生物合成显著相关,其中,lcyb基因和pds基因对岩藻黄素生物合成贡献率最大。     

A dimension-reduced method of sensitivity analysis for stochastic user equilibrium assignment model

This paper gives a new dimension-reduced method of sensitivity analysis for perturbed stochastic user equilibrium assignment (SUEA) model based on the relation between its Lagrange function and logarithmic barrier function combined with a Courant quadratic penalty term. The advantage of this method is of smaller dimension than general sensitivity analysis and reducing complexity. Firstly, it presents the dimension-reduced sensitivity results of the general nonlinear programming perturbation problem and the improved results when the objective or constraint functions are not twice continuously differentiable. Then it proves the corresponding conclusion of SUEA with smooth or non-smooth cost functions by the method of converting constraint conditions and decision variables. Finally, two corresponding examples (smooth and non-smooth) are given to illustrate the feasibility of this method.

Hg在Pd掺杂的CeO_2表面吸附和脱除

基于密度泛函理论对Hg在纯CeO_2表面的吸附机理进行了理论计算,采用p(3×3)的二维超晶胞模型计算了CeO_23个不同表面上不同位点对汞的吸附能,计算结果表明,Hg在纯CeO_2表面吸附能力较弱,为物理吸附,Hg原子与CeO_2未形成有效化学键。为了进一步研究Hg在CeO_2表面的吸附机理,计算了Hg在Pd掺杂的CeO_2(Pd-CeO_2)表面的吸附机理,结果表明,Hg在Pd-CeO_2表面吸附能较强,为化学吸附,Hg原子与Pd-CeO_2之间形成有效的化学键,说明Pd的掺杂有利于提高CeO_2对汞的吸附能力。为了量化纯CeO_2和Pd-CeO_2的汞脱除效率,对Hg在纯CeO_2和Pd-CeO_2表面的脱除进行了实验研究。实验结果表明,纯CeO_2对汞的脱除效率较低,贵金属Pd的掺杂能够有效提高CeO_2的汞脱除效率,与理论计算的结果相符。

高超声速钝前缘乘波构型优化设计研究

乘波体的高升阻比优势使其在高超声速飞行器设计中极具应用前景. 在实际工程应用中, 为了满足防热要求, 乘波体前缘必须进行钝化处理, 前缘钝化对乘波体气动性能会产生显著影响. 因此, 原始尖前缘最优乘波体并不能保证钝化后仍为最优. 针对这一问题, 首先研究了前缘钝化对不同构型升阻特性的影响程度和作用机理. 结果表明: 前缘钝化会造成乘波体升力小幅度降低, 阻力大幅增加, 升阻比显著降低; 其中钝前缘本身的波阻在阻力增量中起主导作用, 而钝前缘本身的摩阻增加量与物面的摩阻降低量十分接近. 基于上述结果, 提出了一种高效评估钝前缘乘波体气动力的方法, 并结合遗传算法, 开展了直接考虑前缘钝化影响的乘波构型优化设计研究, 获得了钝前缘最优构型. 通过CFD数值模拟对最优构型的气动力特性进行评估, 结果表明: 在不同飞行高度、不同升力和不同钝化半径约束下, 相比尖前缘最优构型, 钝前缘最优构型宽度变窄, 相同纵向位置处的后掠角增大, 且升阻比显著提升. 在M_∞ = 15, H = 50 km, CL = 0.3约束条件下, 钝化半径R = 10 mm的钝前缘最优构型设计点升阻比相比尖前缘最优构型提升量可达9.32%.      

RUIN PROBABILITY IN THE CONTINUOUS-TIME COMPOUND BINOMIAL MODEL WITH INVESTMENT

This article deals with the problem of minimizing ruin probability under optimal control for the continuous-time compound binomial model with investment.The jump mechanism in our article is different from that of Liu et al[4].Comparing with[4],the introduction of the investment,and hence,the additional Brownian motion term,makes the problem technically challenging.To overcome this technical difficulty,the theory of change of measure is used and an exponential martingale is obtained by virtue of the extended generator.The ruin probability is minimized through maximizing adjustment coefficient in the sense of Lundberg bounds.At the same time,the optimal investment strategy is obtained.     

Optimal proportional reinsurance and investment problem with jump-diffusion risk process under effect of inside information

We study optimal investment and proportional reinsurance strategy in the presence of inside information. The risk process is assumed to follow a compound Poisson process perturbed by a standard Brownian motion. The insurer is allowed to invest in a risk-free asset and a risky asset as well as to purchase proportional reinsurance. In addition, it has some extra information available from the beginning of the trading interval, thus introducing in this way inside information aspects to our model. We consider two optimization problems： the problem of maximizing the expected exponential utility of terminal wealth with and without inside information, respectively. By solving the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations, explicit expressions for their optimal value functions and the corresponding optimal strategies are obtained. Finally, we discuss the effects of parameters on the optimal strategy and the effect of the inside information by numerical simulations.
