Optimal Investment and Dividend Strategy in the Discrete Sparre Andersen Risk Model

In the discrete-time Sparre Andersen risk model with investments and dividend payments, the company controls the dividend payments and the proportions of venture investments in order to maximize the cumulative expected discounted dividends prior to ruin. The paper gets the algorithm of the optimal dividend strategy by analyzing a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and transforming the value function. Furthermore, the existence of the optimal solution of the transformation function is proved by using compression mapping and fixed point principle. In order to make the calculation easier, this paper also proposes an innovative random simulation method for the optimal strategy, and proves that the simulation result is the consistent estimate of the real value. Finally, the random simulation method in the Matlab is used for numerical analysis in an example, which shows the innovative simulation method is a very good and helpful method for making dividend payment and investment decisions.     

Rapid Fabrication of Hollow SiO2 Spheres with Novel Morphology

The hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) occurred on the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microshperes immediately after these microshperes were prepared in TEOS. Micron-sized hollow SiO2 spheres were obtained by calcination of the coated PMMA microshperes. It was found that the final hollow spheres were constituted by small SiO2 particles.

Headspace Solid-phase Microextraction–Gas Chromatographic–Mass Spectrometric Analysis of the Essential Oils of Two Traditional Chinese Medicines, Angelica pubescens and Angelica sinensis

Angelica pubescens and Angelica sinensis belong to the Umbelliferae family and both are used as traditional Chinese medicines. In the present study, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for the analysis of the volatile constituents present in their roots. Eighty-seven compounds in Angelica pubescens and thirty-six compounds in Angelica sinensis were identified by GC-MS. Their relative contents were calculated by the peak area ratio. HS-SPME was compared to steam distillation (SD) by analyzing the volatile constituents of Angelica sinensis root. A good agreement between results obtained with both techniques was found. As a conclusion, HS-SPME is a powerful tool for determining the volatile constituents present in the TCMs.     

Low temperature heat capacities and thermodynamic properties of rare earth triisothiocyanate hydrates——Pr(NCS)_3· 7H_2O and Nd(NCS)_3· 7H_2O

Heat capacities of Pr(NCS)3·7H2O and Nd(NCS)3· 7H2O haw been measured from 13 to 300 K by using a fully automated adiabatic calorimeter. Schottky anomaly was observed for Pr(NCS)3·7H2O below 50 K. The polynomial equations for calculating the heat capacity values of the two compounds in the range of 13-300 K were obtained by the least-squares fitting based on the experimental Cp data. The Cp values below 13 K were estimated by using the Debye-Einstein and Schottky heat capacity functions. The standard molar thermodynamic functions were computed from 0 to 300 K. The standard entropies and Gibbs energies of formation of the two compounds were also calculated.     

Amine-templated metal squarates

Two layered amine-templated cobalt squarates, [C₆N₂H₁₄]₂[Co₂(C₄O₄)₃(H₂O)₄], I, and [C₃N₂H₅]₂[Co₂(C₄O₄)₃(H₂O)₄], II, have been prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Both I and II contain chains formed by dimers comprising two cobalt atoms bound to the squarate units, the chains being connected through hydrogen bond interactions. An amine-templated cobalt squarate of the formula [C₄N₂H₁₂][Co(C₄O₄)₂(H₂O)₄][H₂O]₂, III, as well as its Ni, Zn and Cd analogues have been prepared by room temperature reactions. III has a layered architecture wherein the cobalt-squarate monomers are linked by the amine molecules. Co and Zn analogues of [Ni(C₄O₄)(H₂O)₂(C₃N₂H₄)] with ligating imidazole units have also been prepared and characterized.

Decomposition of Transformer Oil Under Ultrasonic Irradiation During Degassing Process

In the degassing process of transformer oil with ultrasonic waves ,decompostition of the oil was observed.Light hydrocarbons,including methane,ethane,ethylene ,aceylene,propane etc,were found to be released continuously from the oil into headspace within a closed vial placed in an ultrasonic field ,The gases came from decomposition of hydrocarbon molecules under cavitation effect.
