计算有机化合物脂水分配系数的新方法

A new method is presented for the calculation of octanol/water partition coefficients. On the basis of summation of atomic contributions, our algorithm, namely; XLOGP, also incorporate correction factors into the calculation. Multivariate regression analysis was performed on a training database of 1831 organic compounds with diverse structures to give the final model. The correlation coefficients for the whole set fitting is 0.968 and the standard deviation is 0.37. The result shows that our model is accurate enough for logP estimation in QSAR studies. Compared to other similar approaches, our method gives better results and is more convenient to use.

New Type of Generalized Vector Quasiequilibrium Problem

In this paper, we introduce a new type of vector quasiequilibrium problem with set-valued mappings and moving cones. By using the scalarization method and fixed-point theorem, we obtain its existence theorem. As applications, we derive some existence theorems for vector variational inequalities and vector complementarity problems. This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The authors are grateful to Professor X.Q. Yang and the referees for valuable comments and suggestions improving the original draft.     

Evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma on heterogeneous Newman-Watts small-world network

We focus on the heterogeneity of social networks and its role to the emergence of prevailing cooperators and sustainable cooperation. The social networks are representative of the interaction relationships between players and their encounters in each round of games. We study an evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma game on a variant of Newman-Watts small-world network, whose heterogeneity can be tuned by a parameter. It is found that optimal cooperation level exists at some intermediate topological heterogeneity for different temptations to defect. That is, frequency of cooperators peaks at a certain specific value of degree heterogeneity — neither the most heterogeneous case nor the most homogeneous one would favor the cooperators. Besides, the average degree of networks and the adopted update rule also affect the cooperation level.     

Better Optimization of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems (BONUS) for Vehicle Structural Design

With the continuous improvement of computational performance, vehicle structural design has been addressed using computational methods, resulting in more efficient development of new vehicles. Most simulation-based optimization approaches generate deterministic optimal designs without considering variability effects in modeling, simulation, and/or manufacturing. One of the main reasons for this omission is due to the fact that the computing time of a single crash analysis for vehicle structural design still requires significant computing time using a state-of-the-art computer. This calls for the development and implementation of an efficient optimization under uncertainty method. In this paper, a new integrated stochastic optimization method, which combines the advantages of metamodeling techniques and Better Optimization of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems (BONUS), is developed for vehicle side impact design. Nonlinear metamodels are built by using a stepwise regression method to replace the expensive computational model and BONUS is employed to obtain optimal designs under uncertainty. A benchmark problem for vehicle safety design is used to demonstrate the method. The main goal of this case study is to maintain or enhance the vehicle side impact test performance while minimizing the vehicle weight under various uncertainties.     

An Efficient Sampling Approach to Multiobjective Optimization

This paper presents a new approach to multiobjective optimization based on the principles of probabilistic uncertainty analysis. At the core of this approach is an efficient nonlinear multiobjective optimization algorithm, Minimizing Number of Single Objective Optimization Problems (MINSOOP), to generate a true representation of the whole Pareto surface. Results show that the computational savings of this new algorithm versus the traditional constraint method increase dramatically when the number of objectives increases. A real world case study of multiobjective optimal design of a best available control technology for Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Sulfur Oxides (SOx) reduction illustrates the usefulness of this approach.

The influence of contact surface microstructure on vacuum arcstability and voltage

The authors present the results of DC vacuum arc lifetime and voltage measurements for contacts with different surface microstructures. This was realized by treating the contact surface with emery paper of varying roughness. The contact surface microstructure was found to have a large effect on the DC arc lifetime (several tens of times difference at the most) and arc voltage (30% difference at the most). The mechanism of the surface microstructure effect on DC arc stability was analyzed and is explained preliminarily. The rougher the contact surface is, the longer the arc lifetime and the more stable. The arc itself has a tendency to condition the surface in a way that is unfavorable for a sustained arc lifetime. The crater size for a rough surface is smaller than for a smooth one. The rougher the contact is, the lower the arc voltage (both DC and HF components). The arc erosion has a tendency to increase the arc voltage. It is probable that type I cathode spots (fast motion, small crater size) correspond not only to the surface contamination, but also to the surface roughness
