The risks and returns of stock investment in a financial market

The risks and returns of stock investment are discussed via numerically simulating the mean escape time and the probability density function of stock price returns in the modified Heston model with time delay. Through analyzing the effects of delay time and initial position on the risks and returns of stock investment, the results indicate that: (i) There is an optimal delay time matching minimal risks of stock investment, maximal average stock price returns and strongest stability of stock price returns for strong elasticity of demand of stocks (EDS), but the opposite results for weak EDS; (ii) The increment of initial position recedes the risks of stock investment, strengthens the average stock price returns and enhances stability of stock price returns. Finally, the probability density function of stock price returns and the probability density function of volatility and the correlation function of stock price returns are compared with other literatures. In addition, good agreements are found between them.     

Impulsive generalized function synchronization of complex dynamical networks

This Letter investigates generalized function synchronization of continuous and discrete complex networks by impulsive control. By constructing the reasonable corresponding impulsively controlled response networks, some criteria and corollaries are derived for the generalized function synchronization between the impulsively controlled complex networks, continuous and discrete networks are both included. Furthermore, the generalized linear synchronization and nonlinear synchronization are respectively illustrated by several examples. All the numerical simulations demonstrate the correctness of the theoretical results.     

A novel evacuation passageway formed by a breathing air supply zone combined with upward ventilation

With the development of transportation, the tunnel has become one of the important facilities of railway, highway and subway transportation. However, fire hazards occurring inside the tunnel may incur huge numbers of casualties and property losses. In this paper, a breathing air supply zone combined with an upward ventilation assisted tunnel evacuation system (BTES) is introduced. It can be used to create a safe, smoke-free evacuation passageway out of the tunnel. The BTES is optimized to achieve high-performance. The impacts of heat release rates, fire source locations and fire detection times are also discussed.     

High-order rogue waves for the Hirota equation

The Hirota equation is better than the nonlinear Schrödinger equation when approximating deep ocean waves. In this paper, high-order rational solutions for the Hirota equation are constructed based on the parameterized Darboux transformation. Several types of this kind of solutions are classified by their structures.     

Structure and detonation performance of a novel HMX/LLM‐105 cocrystal explosive

Intermolecular interactions and properties of octahydro‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐ tetrazocine (HMX) / 2,6‐diamino‐3,5‐dinitropyrazine‐1‐oxide (LLM‐105) cocrystal were studied by using the dispersion‐corrected density functionals (ωB97XD, B97D) and meta‐hybrid functional (M062x) methods. Binding energies, heats of formation, thermodynamic properties, atoms in molecules, and natural bond orbital analysis were performed to investigate HMX/LLM‐105 complexes. Results show that the main intermolecular interactions between HMX and LLM‐105 are CH…O, NH…O, N…O, and O…O interactions. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation was employed to predict the crystal structure of HMX/LLM‐105 cocrystal. The HMX/LLM‐105 cocrystal is most likely to crystallize in C2/c space group, and its corresponding cell parameters are Z = 8, a = 41.63 Å, b = 6.77 Å, c = 45.63 Å, ß = 164.55°, and ρ = 1.99 g/cm³. Detonation velocity and pressure of HMX/LLM‐105 cocrystal are 8.95 km/s, 37.69GPa, a little lower than those of HMX (9.10 km/s, 37.76GPa). However, according to the net charges of nitro group, HMX/LLM‐105 cocrystal exhibits less sensitive than HMX. Finally, bond dissociation energy calculation shows that HMX/LLM‐105 complexes are thermally stable. Considering thermal stability, sensitivity, and detonation performance, HMX/LLM‐105 cocrystal meets the requirements of insensitive high energy density materials.

Phenomenological gravitational radiation from rotating stellar collapse to an intermediate mass Kerr black hole

Intermediate mass black holes may be formed through repeated coalescences of compact objects or through the direct collapse of a hypermassive star formed through runaway collisions of main sequence stars. The gravitational wave signature of these two formation scenarios will be different. Here we present an initial study of the waveform generated during the direct axisymmetric collapse of a hypermassive star in order to facilitate searches for this source. We approximate the collapse of the core as an axisymmetric Newtonian free-fall of a rotating relativistic degenerate iron core. The collapse waveform can be reasonably well modeled by an exponential growth.     

Absorption coefficient measurement of high-resistivity germanium at 2.52 THz by Brewster’s angle method

Brewster’s angle method was adopted to measure the absorption coefficient of a set of high-resistivity germanium samples at 2.52 THz in this paper. Numerical simulations were firstly carried out to evaluate the errors during measurement. The experimental setup was improved, and measurement was carried out based on a CW THz laser at 2.52 THz.     

Terfenol-D/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 Disk-Ring Multiferroic Heterostructures Coupled Through Normal Stresses

Disk-ring multiferroic heterostructures composed of Terfenol-D and Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) were prepared and characterized, for which the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric phases were coupled through normal stresses instead of the shear stresses that acted in most of the previous multiferroic heterostructures. High low-frequency magnetoelectric coefficients of 0.10–0.75 V cm⁻¹ Oe⁻¹ were attained for the disk-ring heterostructures, which indicated the strong magnetoelectric coupling. Moreover, a symmetrical resonant peak was observed for dE ₃/dH ₃ in the frequency range of 1–200 kHz, while another weak peak with asymmetrical shape also existed at a lower frequency for dE ₃/dH ₁, which was due to the combination of two vibration modes.
