On multi-choice TU games arising from replica of economies

In this paper we derive a multi-choice TU game from r-replica of exchange economy with continuous, concave and monetary utility functions, and prove that the cores of the games converge to a subset of the set of Edgeworth equilibria of exchange economy as r approaches to infinity. We prove that the dominance core of each balanced multi-choice TU game, where each player has identical activity level r, coincides with the dominance core of its corresponding r-replica of exchange economy. We also give an extension of the concept of the cover of the game proposed by Shapley and Shubik (J Econ Theory 1: 9-25, 1969) to multi-choice TU games and derive some sufficient conditions for the nonemptyness of the core of multi-choice TU game by using the relationship among replica economies, multi-choice TU games and their covers.     

A subwavelength MIM waveguide resonator with an outer portion smooth bend structure

We systematically investigate bends in metal–insulator–metal (MIM) subwavelength plasmonic waveguides resonator, realized in a two-dimensional (2D) plasmon polariton metal using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with perfectly matched layers (PMLs) boundary conditions. We apply the outer portion of the bend structure in resonator which can lead to remarkably good bending transmission characteristics. We discuss the existence conditions of different modes which affect the device performance, and analyze coupling efficiency of the outer portion of the bend structure resonator in detail. Meanwhile, we find that the first dip of the outer portion smooth bend resonator nearly linear shifts toward longer wavelengths with the increase of the effective waveguiding length. In addition, add/drop directional couplers are realizable using the present resonator structure.     

取代基效应(SCS)与乙烯-α-烯烃共聚物的序列结构Ⅲ.定量分析

本文在分析乙烯-α-烯烃共聚物序列结构时,把代表共单体反接单元的亚甲基(CH₂)βγ和γδ分别归属给了二元组VV和三元组EEV。与此同时,CH₂-δδ和δδ⁺归属给了二元组EE。表征乙烯长序列的CH₂-δ⁺δ⁺分属二元组EE和三元组EEE,对应峰强度在EE和EEE之间的分配是处理序列分布的关键。在本文中运用序列结构的Bovey关系和Randall统计进行演算,求得了修正值△的数学表达式,严格解和近似解。在规则链条件下得到的近似解与G.J.Ray的结果完全相同。当共单体含量较少时,谱峰强度Iδ⁺δ⁺的分配接近相等。在二元组和三元组的水平上,乙烯-α-稀烃共聚物的¹³C NMR谱中共有十三个峰,属于CH₂的有十个,属于CH的有三个。利用这些谱峰的强度数据可以建立一套计算公式,由此提供共聚物序列结构的全部信息。因此这是一个研究乙烯-α-烯烃共聚物序列结构的普适方法。

A 3D LIF system for turbulent buoyant jet flows

A Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) system for mapping the three dimensional tracer concentration field in turbulent flows is described. The system is particularly suited to studies of single or multiple buoyant jets discharged into unstratified and stratified flowing environments for conditions typical of wastewater discharges into surface water bodies. A laser beam is scanned through the flow and LIF images are obtained in parallel planes with a high-speed synchronized CCD camera. Refractive index matching is used to minimize refractive index variations due to local density gradients. An application to vertical round buoyant jets discharging into unstratified and stratified cross flows is presented. The three-dimensional system can obtain vastly more data than is possible with probe-based techniques and can yield far more insight into the flow and mixing processes.Abbreviations a Combined attenuation coefficient, cm^-1 - a_w Attenuation coefficient for fresh water, cm^-1 - B Buoyancy flux of buoyant jet, cm⁴/s³ - c Tracer concentration, g/l - C _salt, C _eth Salt and ethanol concentrations, g/l - d Port diameter, cm - g Acceleration due to gravity, cm/s² - Modified acceleration due to gravity at source, cm/s² - Q Volume flux of buoyant jet, cm³/s - I Image gray scale level, DN - l _a,l _Q , l _M , l _s, l _t Buoyant jet length scales, cm (Eq. 8) - L _y Distance from camera to image plane, cm - M Momentum flux of buoyant jet, cm⁴/s² - M _y Image scale factor - N Buoyancy frequency, s^-1 - u _a Ambient flow velocity, cm/s - u _j Jet exit velocity, cm/s - P Laser power, W - S ₀ Lowest dilution on the vertical center-plane through the nozzle - S _m Minimum dilution: lowest dilution in a vertical plane perpendicular to the flow - x, y, z Coordinates, cm - z _m Maximum rise height of buoyant jets, cm - z _e Equilibrium rise height of buoyant jets, cm - Image calibration constant - ₀ Effluent density, g/cm³ - _a Ambient density, g/cm³     

Spectrophotometric detection of tyrosinase activity based on boronic acid-functionalized gold nanoparticles

A spectrophotometric method for the detection of tyrosinase activity is developed by utilizing the product-triggered aggregation of boronic acid-functionalized gold nanoparticles. Based on the changes of absorbance in UV-visible spectra, the assay shows extremely high sensitivity and lowered limit of detection of 1 × 10(-10) u mL(-1).     

A new approach on improving the fire resistance of polyamide 11 by incorporating sulfur‐based flame retardant

In this work, a novel sulfur‐based flame retardant (SA‐M) was synthesized by the self‐assembly of melamine and sulfamic acid. The chemical structure of SA‐M was fully characterized. SA‐M, in company with Al₂O₃, was then introduced into polyamide 11 (PA 11) by melt compounding in order to improve the fire resistance of the polymer substrate. The observation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) indicated the well dispersion of SA‐M in PA 11 matrix. The fire performance of PA 11 composites was evaluated by limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning (UL‐94), and cone calorimeter tests, respectively. The results showed that the presence of 17.5% SA‐M and 2.5% Al₂O₃ increased the LOI value from 22.4% to 30.9%, upgraded the UL‐94 rating from no rating to V‐0, significantly eliminated the melt dripping, and decreased the peak heat release rate from 1024 to 603 kW/m². The thermal behaviors were investigated by thermogravimeric analysis (TGA) and TGA‐Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was suggested that SA‐M took effects mainly in gas phase by diluting the combustible fuel, leading to the improvement of the fire resistance of PA 11.     

Activatable Type I Photosensitizer with Quenched Photosensitization Pre and Post Photodynamic Therapy

The phototoxicity of photosensitizers (PSs) pre and post photodynamic therapy (PDT), and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment are two major problems limiting the application of PDT. While activatable PSs can successfully address the PS phototoxicity pre PDT, and type I PS can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) effectively in hypoxic environment, very limited approaches are available for addressing the phototoxicity post PDT. There is virtually no solution available to address all these issues using a single design. Herein, we propose a proof-of-concept on-demand switchable photosensitizer with quenched photosensitization pre and post PDT, which could be activated only in tumor hypoxic environment. Particularly, a hypoxia-normoxia cycling responsive type I PS TPFN-AzoCF₃ was designed to demonstrate the concept, which was further formulated into TPFN-AzoCF₃ nanoparticles (NPs) using DSPE-PEG-2000 as the encapsulation matrix. The NPs could be activated only in hypoxic tumors to generate type I ROS during PDT treatment, but remain non-toxic in normal tissues, pre or after PDT, thus minimizing side effects and improving the therapeutic effect. With promising results in in vitro and in vivo tumor treatment, this presented strategy will pave the way for the design of more on-demand switchable photosensitizers with minimized side effects in the future.     

Preparation of a novel carboxyl stationary phase by “thiol‐ene” click chemistry for hydrophilic interaction chromatography

A novel carboxyl‐bonded silica stationary phase was prepared by “thiol‐ene” click chemistry. The resultant Thiol‐Click‐COOH phase was evaluated under hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) mobile phase conditions. A comparison of the chromatographic performance of Thiol‐Click‐COOH and pure silica columns was performed according to the retention behaviors of analytes and the charged state of the stationary phases. The results indicated that the newly developed Thiol‐Click‐COOH column has a higher surface charge and stronger hydrophilicity than the pure silica column. Furthermore, the chromatographic behaviors of five nucleosides on the Thiol‐Click‐COOH phase were investigated in detail. Finally, a good separation of 13 nucleosides and bases, and four water‐soluble vitamins was achieved.
