Iteration-complexity of first-order penalty methods for convex programming

This paper considers a special but broad class of convex programming problems whose feasible region is a simple compact convex set intersected with the inverse image of a closed convex cone under an affine transformation. It studies the computational complexity of quadratic penalty based methods for solving the above class of problems. An iteration of these methods, which is simply an iteration of Nesterov’s optimal method (or one of its variants) for approximately solving a smooth penalization subproblem, consists of one or two projections onto the simple convex set. Iteration-complexity bounds expressed in terms of the latter type of iterations are derived for two quadratic penalty based variants, namely: one which applies the quadratic penalty method directly to the original problem and another one which applies the latter method to a perturbation of the original problem obtained by adding a small quadratic term to its objective function.

Self‐Assembly through Coordination and π‐Stacking: Controlled Switching of Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Multiple noncovalent interactions can drive self‐assembly through different pathways. Here, by coordination‐assisted changes in π‐stacking modes between chromophores in pyrene‐conjugated histidine (PyHis), a self‐assembly system with reversible and inversed switching of supramolecular chirality, as well as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is described. It was found that l ‐PyHis self‐assembled into nanofibers showing P‐chirality and right‐handed CPL. Upon Zn^II coordination, the nanofibers changed into nanospheres with M‐chirality, as well as left‐handed CPL. The process is reversible and the M‐chirality can change to P‐chirality by removing the Zn^II ions. Experimental and theoretical models unequivocally revealed that the cooperation of metal coordination and π‐stacking modes are responsible the reversible switching of supramolecular chirality. This work not only provides insight into how multiple noncovalent interactions regulate self‐assembly pathways.     

Encapsulation of a Phase‐Change Material in Nanocapsules with a Well‐Defined Hole in the Wall for the Controlled Release of Drugs

As a class of biocompatible and biodegradable phase‐change materials, natural fatty acids have received considerable interest in recent years for temperature‐controlled release of drugs. However, the poor dispersibility and colloidal stability of their nanoparticles under physiological conditions place a major limitation on their applications in biomedicine. Herein, we report a facile method for encapsulating a mixture of two natural fatty acids (with a eutectic melting point at 39 °C) in a biocompatible, silica‐based nanocapsule to achieve both stable dispersion and controllable release of drugs. The nanocapsules have a well‐defined hole in the wall to ensure easy loading of fatty acids, together with multiple types of functional components such as therapeutics and near‐infrared dyes. The payloads can be released through the hole when the fatty acids are melted upon photothermal heating. The release profile can be controlled by varying the size of the hole and/or the duration of laser irradiation.

三维贯穿大孔氧化铝的孔道改性、表征及转化机制

利用相分离技术制备了非晶三维贯穿大孔氧化铝初始材料,然后通过氨水水热改性处理,使其大孔形态发生了显著改变,孔壁边缘生长有尺寸为50-300 nm的片状聚集体,大孔尺寸由430 nm下降到250 nm,但仍然保持蠕虫状三维贯穿且空间分布均匀的特性。改性后的氧化铝材料经550℃焙烧转化为高结晶度γ氧化铝,比表面积达到331 m²/g,具有8.9 nm及250 nm两种集中的孔径分布,L酸度及抗压强度均有所提高。研究表明,无定形水合羟基铝离子聚合物与氨水发生再水合反应生成薄水铝石中间物,因此,可在较低的焙烧温度下转晶为γ态;大孔孔壁边缘的AlOOH晶粒受NH₄⁺模板诱导作用从里向外重排形成片状聚集体,从而改变了大孔的形态。     

Design and simulation of the wire scanner for the injector linac of BEPCⅡ

BEPCⅡ, the upgrade project of Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC), is an accelerator with large beam current and high luminosity, so an efficient and stable injector is required. Several beam diagnostic and monitoring instruments are used. A new diagnostic instrument — wire scanner, has been designed and will be used to measure the profile of the linac beam of BEPCⅡ. This paper describes the prototype of this system and the cause of heat generating of the wire. Some simulation results of the heat and force by using finite element method software—ANSYS^®,2) are presented and discussed.
