Augmented non-quadratic penalty algorithms

Auslender, Cominetti and Haddou have studied, in the convex case, a new family of penalty/barrier functions. In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of augmented penalty algorithms using those penalty functions under the usual second order sufficient optimality conditions, and present order of convergence results (superlinear convergence with order of convergence 4/3). Those results are related to the analysis of pure penalty algorithms, as well as augmented penalty using a quadratic penalty function. Limited numerical examples are presented to appreciate the practical impact of this local asymptotic analysis.This research was partially supported by NSERC grant OGP0005491     

Bicomplex Quantum Mechanics: I. The Generalized Schrödinger Equation

We introduce the set of bicomplex numbers which is a commutative ring with zero divisors defined by where We present the conjugates and the moduli associated with the bicomplex numbers. Then we study the bicomplex Schr?dinger equation and found the continuity equations. The discrete symmetries of the system of equations describing the bicomplex Schr?dinger equation are obtained. Finally, we study the bicomplex Born formulas under the discrete symmetries. We obtain the standard Born’s formula for the class of bicomplex wave functions having a null hyperbolic angle.     

Synthesis and characterization of electrically conducting polymers for regenerative engineering applications: sulfonated ionic membranes

Conductive polymers have found extensive application in fuel cells, sensors and more recently as scaffolds for tissue and organ regeneration. Scaffolds that can transmit electrical impulses have been shown to be beneficial in regeneration of tissues like muscle and nerve that are electroactive in nature. Most cellular events and cell functions are regulated by ion movement, and their imbalance is the cause of several diseases. We report synthesis and characterization of sulfonated polymers of poly(methyl vinyl ether‐alt‐maleic anhydride) (PMVEMA), poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK), poly(ether sulfone) (PES) and poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) and evaluate their potential for tissue regeneration. The ionic conductive property stems from the presence of sulfonic groups on the polymer backbone. The structure of the polymer was confirmed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and membrane hydrophicity was determined by water contact angle measurement. The electrical conductivity of these sulfonated membranes was found to be 53.55, 35.39 and 29.51 mS/cm for SPPO, SPEEK and SPMVEMA, respectively. The conductivity was directly proportional to the sulfonic acid content on the polymer backbone. The ionic membranes namely SPPO, SPEEK and SPMVEMA demonstrated superior cell adhesion properties (~7–10 fold higher) than cells seeded onto tissue culture polystyrene. The sulfonated membranes exhibited static water contact angle in the range of 70–76°. The membranes supported the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts over 14 days in culture as evidenced by confocal and electron microscopy imaging. The ionic materials reported in this study may serve as scaffolds for a variety of tissue healing and drug delivery applications. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“下愚”最智 “上智”最愚

历代反动派总是宣扬孔老二“上智与下愚不移”的唯心论说教,把它作为“剥削有理”、“压迫有理”的根据。林彪这个地主资产阶级的代理人,为了篡党夺权,复辟资本主义,建立林家法西斯王朝,也鼓吹“上智下愚”的谬论。他把自己吹成“生而知之”的“天才”,以“至贵”、超人自居,污蔑劳动人民“愚昧”、“落后”,只会说“恭喜发财”,只能想“油盐酱醋柴”。     

Photoinduced intramolecular charge separation in donor/acceptor-substituted bicyclohexylidene and bicyclohexyl

The photophysical properties of a bicyclohexylidene (1DA) and a bicyclohexyl (2DA) substituted with an anilino electron donor and a dicyanoethylene electron acceptor have been studied. Quenching of local donor emission is observed for these compounds as well as quenching of the "pseudo-local" acceptor emission. Transient absorption spectra show dialkylanilino-type radical-cation and dicyanoethylene-type radical-anion absorptions. These results show that intramolecular charge separation takes place in 1DA and 2DA. This was corroborated by time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements from which large excited-state dipole moments were found for both 1DA and 2DA. Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that in the charge-separated state in cyclohexane for 2DA, molecular folding takes place on a nanosecond timescale. For 1DA in cyclohexane, either charge separation takes place in a (fully) folded conformation or very rapid (subnanosecond timescale) folding takes place subsequent to charge separation. In addition to this difference in conformational behavior, the presence of the exocyclic double bond between the cyclohexyl-type rings results in efficient quenching of the anilino donor triplet state and acceleration of the charge recombination rate by a factor of 20.     

Handedness enantioselection of carbon nanotubes using helical assemblies of flavin mononucleotide

In order to truly unlock advanced applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), one needs to separate them according to both chirality and handedness. Here we show that the chiral d-ribityl phosphate chain of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) induces a right-handed helix that enriches the left-handed SWNTs for all suspended (n,m) species. Such enantioselectivity stems from the sp(3) hybridization of the N atom anchoring the sugar moiety to the flavin ring. This produces two FMN conformations (syn and anti) analogous to DNA. Electrostatic interactions between the neighboring uracil moiety and the 2'-OH group of the side chain provide greater stability to the anti-FMN conformation that leads to a right-handed FMN helix. The right-handed twist that the FMN helix imposes to the underlying nanotube, similar to "Indian burn", causes diameter dilation of only the left-handed SWNTs, whose improved intermolecular interactions with the overlaying FMN helix, impart enantioselection.
