Isolation and Structure Elucidation of Nortriterpenoids from Schisandra rubriflora

Seven new highly oxygenated nortriterpenoids, rubriflorins D–J ( 1 – 7 ), were isolated from the leaves and stems of Schisandra rubriflora, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive analysis of spectroscopic data. These new compounds feature the opening of ring A compared with related known nortriterpenoids isolated from the genus Schisandra and showed weak activity against HIV‐1.     

Chinese (Mainland) teachers’ views of effective mathematics teaching and learning

This study investigates Chinese teachers’ cultural beliefs concerning effective mathematics teaching through semi-structured interview with nine experienced teachers. For the Chinese teachers, an effective teacher should always be passionate and committed to the teaching profession. She should not only understand the knowledge in the textbook thoroughly but also be able to carefully craft the knowledge from the textbook for teaching by predicting possible students’ difficulties. Although Chinese teachers emphasize student participation and flexible teaching, they tend to see the teacher’s ability to design and lead coherent lessons as the key for facilitating students’ understanding. The result of this study helps researchers and educators understand the teacher-designed and content-oriented teaching model in Chinese classrooms.

二元合金微观偏析的相场法数值模拟

使用耦合溶质场的相场模拟研究了Ni-Cu二元合金枝晶生长过程中固相溶质扩散系数D_s 对枝晶形貌和微观偏析等的影响.计算结果表明，随着D_s的减少，固液界 面前沿溶质扩散层越薄，枝晶生长越有利，枝晶尖端生长的速度越大，侧向分支越发达；D< sub>s越小，固相中溶质成分的波动越强烈，随着D_s的增大，固相中溶质 成分的波动相应减小；溶质微观偏析程度随D_s的增大而减小. 关键词： 相场方法 微观偏析 固相扩散系数 数值模拟     

Further study of the viscoelastic phase separation of cyanate ester modified with poly(ether imide)

In this study, the viscoelastic phase separation process was studied further by time‐resolved light scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy in the system of poly(ether imide)‐modified bisphenol‐A dicyanate. It was observed that the evolution time of phase structure and relaxation time of diffusion flow of the bisphenol‐A dicyanate were similar with the phase diagram of curing conversion versus content of PEI. The results suggested that the viscoelastic phase separation was affected by the curing conversion of the system at the onset point of phase separation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A rule-based risk decision-making approach and its application in China's customs inspection decision

This paper addresses a kind of risk decision-making problem existing widely in public administration and business management, which is characterized by (1) occurrence probabilities of states of nature can be estimated by analysing historical observations, but historical observations of different objects are unhomogeneous, (2) the relation between observations and occurrence probabilities of states of nature are affected by some qualitative and quantitative indicators, (3) it is a real-time decision-making problem, that is, there are many decisions for different objects to be made in a limited time, (4) considering decision's execution, impact of resource constrains is an important issue in decision-making process. In this paper, we develop a rule-based approach to address the problem. In the proposed approach, a two-step clustering method is employed to classify objects into categories, and observations in each category can be approximately viewed as homogeneous. For objects in each category, occurrence probabilities of states of nature are estimated by logistic regression, and the decision rule is obtained through solving an optimization model, which is to minimize the total decision risks while satisfying resource constrains. Effect and efficacy of our approach are illustrated through its application to China's customs inspection decision.     

Facile route to high-density, ordered ZnO nanowire arrays and their photoluminescence properties

A simple template-directed wet chemistry route based on traditional thermal decomposition technique has been developed for the preparation of high-density, ordered ZnO nanowire arrays. The fabrication was performed at relative low temperature without involving complex procedures, sophisticated equipment and rigorous experiment conditions, thereby providing a straightforward and mild method to produce metal/metal oxide ordered nanostructures. The nanowire array system was evaluated by SEM, XRD, TEM and PL. A stable luminescence at 425 nm was present.     

Model and empirical study on some collaboration networks

In this paper we present an empirical study of a few practical systems described by cooperation networks, and propose a model to understand the results obtained. We study four non-social systems, which are the Bus Route Networks of Beijing and Yangzhou, the Travel Route Network of China, Huai-Yang recipes of Chinese cooked food, and a social system, which is the Collaboration Network of Hollywood Actors. In order to explain the results related to the degree distribution, act-degree distribution and act-size distribution (especially about the degree distribution, which may be better fitted using a stretched exponential distribution (SED)), we suggest a simple model to show a possible evolutionary mechanism for the emergence of such networks. The analytic and numerical results obtained from the model are in good agreement with the empirical results.

Bombieri's theorem in short intervals

The well-known Bombieri-A. I. Vinogradov theorem states that (1) $$\sum\limits_{q \leqslant x^{\tfrac{1}{2}} (\log x)^{ - s} } {\mathop {\max }\limits_{(a,q) = 1} \mathop {\max }\limits_{y \leqslant x} } \left| {\psi (y,q;a) - \frac{y}{{\varphi (q)}}} \right| \ll \frac{x}{{(\log x)^A }},$$ whereA is an arbitrary positive constant,B=B(A)>0, and as usual, $$\psi (x,q;a) = \sum\limits_{\mathop {n \leqslant x}\limits_{n = a(q)} } {\Lambda (n),}$$ Λ being the Von Mangoldt's function. The problem of finding a result analogous to (1) for short intervals was investigated by many authors. Using Heath-Brown's identity and the approximate functional equation for DirichletL-functions, A. Perelli, J. Pintz and S. Salerno in 1985 established the following extension of Bombieri's theorem: Theorem 1. (2) $$\sum\limits_{q \leqslant Q} {\mathop {\max }\limits_{(a,q) = 1} \mathop {\max }\limits_{h \leqslant y} \mathop {\max }\limits_{\frac{x}{2}< \approx \leqslant x} } \left| {\psi (z + h,q;a) - \psi (z,q;a) - \frac{h}{{\varphi (q)}}} \right| \ll \frac{y}{{(\log x)^A }}$$ where A>0 is an arbitrary constant,y=x ^θ $$\frac{7}{{12}}< \theta \leqslant 1, Q = x^{\frac{1}{{40}}} .$$ ,Q=x ^1/40. By improving the basic lemma which A. Perelli, J. Pintz and S. Salerno used as the main tool to prove Theorem 1, we obtain Theorem 2.Under the same condition as in Theorem 1,for Q=x ^1/38.5, (2)still holds.
