The generalized independent set (GIS) problem was first introduced by Hochbaum and Pathria (Forest Sci 43(4), 544–554, 1997) and independently explored in greater detail by Hochbaum (Manage Sci 50(6), 709–123, 2004). This problem, with applications in forest management and a variety of related areas, is a generalization of the classical maximum independent set problem. In this paper we highlight a natural, nonlinear formulation for the problem that is an attractive alternative to the linear model found in the literature. The effectiveness of this alternative formulation is demonstrated by computational experience on test problems of varying size and density, disclosing a dramatic reduction in the time to obtain optimal and near optimal solutions and an ability to solve much larger problems. 相似文献
Phenanthro[3,4:3′,4′]phenanthro[2,1-b]thiophene ( 1 ) served as the model system to evaluate two-dimensional proton zero quantum coherence nmr in order to establish the vicinal proton-proton connectivities. The utility of the two-dimensional proton zero quantum nmr experiment has been compared with the utility of the traditional autocorrelated proton-proton (COSY) experiment. In the case of a molecule such as 1 , where the proton chemical shifts are so highly congested, the zero quantum coherence experiment provides data not obtainable from the COSY experiment. 相似文献
AnI-E group is a group in which the endomorphism near-ring generated by the group's inner automorphisms equals the endomorphism near-ring generated by its endomorphisms. In this paper we shall completely determine the finite groups that are semidirect products of cyclic groups and areI-E groups. 相似文献
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements have been performed in order to determine the translational diffusion coefficients of three differently charged fluorescent probes (cationic: rhodamine 6G, neutral: 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-p-dimethylaminostyryl-4-H-pyran, DCM, and anionic: fluorescein) dissolved within the common room temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [bmim][PF6]. These experiments demonstrate that FCS is a rapid, sensitive, precise (typical RSD from 4-8%), and low-consumption screening tool for the determination of analyte mobility within microliter ionic liquid samples. 相似文献
We study the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear parabolic equation where p > 1 is a parameter and ψ is a smooth, bounded function on (1, ∞) with ? ? sψ′(s)/ψ(s) ? θ for some θ > 0. If 1 < p < 1 + 2/N, there are no global positive solutions, whereas if p > 1 + 2/N, there are global, positive solutions for small initial data. 相似文献
In this paper we consider generalizations in 4 dimensions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations which typically arise from Kaluza-Klein theories. We specify conditions such that stationary solutions lead to non-linear-models for symmetric spaces. Using both this group theoretic structure and some properties of harmonic maps we are able to generalize many of the known existence and uniqueness theorems for black holes in Einstein-Maxwell theory to this more general setting. 相似文献
Since the early reports of MOFs and their interesting properties, research involving these materials has grown wide in scope and applications. Various synthetic approaches have ensued in view of obtaining materials with optimised properties, the extensive scope of application spanning from energy, gas sorption, catalysis biological applications has meant exponentially evolved over the years. The far‐reaching synthetic and PSM approaches and porosity control possibilities have continued to serve as a motivation for research on these materials. With respect to the biological applications, MOFs have shown promise as good candidates in applications involving drug delivery, BioMOFs, sensing, imaging amongst others. Despite being a while away from successful entry into the market, observed results in sensing, drug delivery, and imaging put these materials on the spot light as candidates poised to usher in a revolution in biology. In this regard, this review article focuses current approaches in synthesis, post functionalization and biological applications of these materials with particular attention on drug delivery, imaging, sensing and BioMOFs. 相似文献
Current concepts for chemical and biochemical sensing based on detection with optical waveguides are reviewed. The goals are to provide a framework for classifying such sensors and to assist a designer in selecting the most suitable detection techniques and waveguide arrangements. Sensor designs are categorized on the basis of the five parameters that completely describe a light wave: its amplitude, wavelength, phase, polarization state and time-dependent waveform. In the fabrication of a successful sensor, the physical or chemical property of the determined species and the particular light wave parameter to detect it should be selected with care since they jointly dictate the sensitivity, stability, selectivity and accuracy of the eventual measurement. The principle of operation, the nature or the detected optical signal, instrumental requirements for practical applications, and associated problems are analyzed for each category of sensors. Two sorts of sensors are considered: those based on direct spectroscopic detection of the analyte, and those in which the analyte is determined indirectly through use of an analyte-sensitive reagent. Key areas of recent study, useful practical applications, and trends in future development of optical waveguide chemical and biochemical sensors are considered. 相似文献
