Jordan–Cattaneo waves: Analogues of compressible flow

We review work of Jordan on a hyperbolic variant of the Fisher–KPP equation, where a shock solution is found and the amplitude is calculated exactly. The Jordan procedure is extended to a hyperbolic variant of the Chafee–Infante equation. Extension of Jordan’s ideas to a model for traffic flow are also mentioned. We also examine a diffusive susceptible–infected (SI) model, and generalizations of diffusive Lotka–Volterra equations, including a Lotka–Volterra–Bass competition model with diffusion. For all cases we show how a Jordan–Cattaneo wave may be analysed and we indicate how to find the wavespeeds and the amplitudes. Finally we present details of a fully nonlinear analysis of acceleration waves in a Cattaneo–Christov poroacoustic model.     

Competition between halogen bond and hydrogen bond in complexes of superalkali Li3S and halogenated acetylene XCCH (X = F,Cl, Br,and I)

Complexes of superalkali Li₃S and XCCH (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) have been studied with theoretical calculations at the MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level. Three types of structures are found: (A) the X atom combines with the S atom through a halogen bond; (B) the X atom interacts with the π electron of Li₃S by a π halogen bond; (C) the H atom combines with the S atom through a hydrogen bond. For A and B, a heavier halogen atom makes the interaction stronger, while for C, the change of interaction energy is not obvious, showing a small dependence on the nature of the X atom in HCCX. A is more stable than B and their difference in stability decreases as X varies from Cl to I. For the F and Cl complexes, A is weaker than C, however, the former is stronger than the latter in the Br and I complexes. The above three types of interactions have been analyzed by means of electron localization function, electron density difference, and energy decomposition, and the results show that they have similar nature and features with conventional interactions. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

政府补贴、国企国有化系数与中国企业的产能过剩

近年来中国产能过剩日益严重,化解该矛盾已成为十八大后中国推进经济体制改革、调整产业结构的重中之重.考虑中国国情,从微观层面出发,构建混合寡占竞争模型,能有效解决产能过剩.分析表明:1政府调整对国有企业的补贴以及国有企业国有化系数可以有效解决民营企业的产能过剩问题;2在中国的现状下,国有企业确实存在产能过剩,并且减少政府对国有企业的补贴以及调整国有企业国有化系数可以有效减少国有企业的产能过剩量.     

Extinction time and the total mass of the continuous-state branching processes with competition

Consider a general continuous-state branching process with additional interaction, which destroys the branching property. We give precise conditions on the interaction term, in order to decide whether the extinction time of the process remains or not bounded as the initial value tends to infinity, and similarly for the total mass of the process.     

A sufficient condition for stability using slopes of isoclines in planar mappings

Coupled planar maps are often parameter dependent, with the stability of their fixed points depending on the values of the parameters chosen. As the magnitude of the eigenvalues is difficult to determine when the number of parameters is large, one commonly uses instead the Jury conditions for the Jacobian, but even this can present difficulties. In this paper, we will show a simpler sufficient criteria for local asymptotic stability that follows by comparing slopes of isoclines.

Ideal Free Distribution in Two Patches

In this paper, the formats of Julia sets for a class of nonlinear complex dynamic systems with variable coefficients were studied under certain conditions. For the complex dynamic systems in piecewise cases, we proposed some methods to control the forms of their Julia sets and stable domains analytically. What’s more, we illustrated that our methods worked well by computational simulations. Our work provides a better understanding about how to control the Julia sets of certain complex dynamic systems.     

Realizing the Promise—The Development of Research on Carbon Nanotubes

The present reflection on the development of research on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stems from the publication of the report “Realizing the Promise of Carbon Nanotubes” by the US National Nanotechnology Initiative in 2015. The report is a critical assessment of the state‐of‐art of CNT research and highlights some unresolved issues related with this field. Starting from the results of this assessment, we carried out an analysis of the publications’ pool in CNTs and related domains, by exploiting bibliometric tools. We focused on the item of competition/collaboration between disciplines and nations, with the purpose of evaluating the position of chemistry (as a discipline) as well as the position of the main European countries and the European Union (EU) as a whole in the context of CNT research. The results of such analysis outline very clearly the interdisciplinary landscape wherein CNT research is situated and show the highly competitive place occupied by EU in the field.     

Influence of Control Parameters on the Competition Between Spiral Waves and Target Waves

In this paper we systematically investigate the influence of control parameters on the competition results between spiral waves and target waves. Driving frequency f , amplitude A and injection area n of the input signals are three important parameters and the competition results between spiral waves and target waves are influenced by these three parameters remarkably. Based on these understandings we can control spiral waves effectively by suitable combination these parameters to generate faster target waves. And the effective controllable parameter regions are also studied.
