MONOTONIZATION IN GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION

A general monotonization method is proposed for converting a constrained programming problem with non-monotone objective function and monotone constraint functions into a monotone programming problem. An equivalent monotone programming problem with only inequality constraints is obtained via this monotonization method. Then the existing convexification and concavefication methods can be used to convert the monotone programming problem into an equivalent better-structured optimization problem.

A new analytical model for thermal stresses in multi-phase materials and lifetime prediction methods

Based on the fundamental equations of the mechanics of solid continuum, the paper employs an analytical model for determination of elastic thermal stresses in isotropic continuum represented by periodically distributed spherical particles with different distributions in an infinite matrix, imaginarily divided into identical cells with dimensions equal to inter-particle distances, containing a central spherical particle with or without a spherical envelope on the particle surface. Consequently, the multi-particle-（envelope）- matrix system, as a model system regarding the analytical modelling, is applicable to four types of multi-phase materials. As functions of the particle volume fraction v, the inter-particle distances dl, d2, d3 along three mutually per- pendicular axes, and the particle and envelope radii, R1 and R2, respectively, the thermal stresses within the cell, are originated during a cooling process as a consequence of the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of phases rep- resented by the matrix, envelope and particle. Analytical-（experimental）-computational lifetime prediction methods for multi-phase materials are proposed, which can be used in engineering with appropriate values of parameters of real multi-phase materials.     

Adjuvant Effects of Dual Co-stimulatory Molecules on Cellular Responses to HIV Multiple-epitope DNA Vaccination

Designing adjuvants that can induce strong cytotoxic T cell responses is largely required for preparing DNA vaccines. In this study we explored dual costimulatory molecules 4-1BBL and OX40L as adjuvants to improve the efficiency of the HIV multiple-epitope DNA vaccine. When explored in the human dendritic cell-T cell based coculture system,dual costimulatory molecules significantly enhanced the anti-HIV T cell response of the HIV mul-tiple-epitope DNA vaccine,as detected by intracellular cytokine staining t...     

Growth,defects,and properties of GdCa4O（BO3）3 and Nd：GdCa4O（BO3）3 crystals

Pure and neodymium-doped gadolinium calcium oxoborate crystals of high quality were grown by the Czochralski method.The orientation of crystal was precisely determined,and the samples for measurements were prepared.Through synchrotron x-ray topography and high-resolution x-ray diffractometry,the twin structure was discovered.Some properties such as the figure of merit value,and dielectric,piezoelectric,and elastic constants were meausured along with a discussion of the anisotropy of the laser properties.     

SAGE信道估计算法在部分相关STTC-MIMO系统中的应用

利用天线空间相关函数和方向特性将完全不相关的信道衰落矩阵映射为更符合实际的部分相关MIMO(multiple input multiple output)信道衰落矩阵,结合STTC(space-time trellis code)空时编码方式建立部分相关的STTC-MIMO系统,并将基于SAGE(space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization)的信道估计算法应用在这一系统中.结果显示,和ML(most-likelihood)估计相比,部分相关信道中使用SAGE估计算法可以使系统信噪比提高约1 dB.此外,空时编码(space-time codes)的纠错性能对MIMO系统的信噪比也有极大的影响.
