非视线紫外光大气传输模型的建立及验证

基于蒙特卡罗方法建立了非视线紫外光传输模型。利用此模型模拟了不同传输距离、不同发射和接收仰角等多种传输条件下的传输情况,并在同等条件下进行了相关实验。结果表明,在相同条件下,信号强度模拟曲线与实验曲线的变化趋势相同且吻合较好,但具有一定的误差。进一步分析指出,模型中大气散射系数、吸收系数、分子散射比、传输测试距离等参数的误差影响了模拟结果的准确,以及模拟与实验曲线的吻合程度。

Computer-aided spillway design using the boundary element method and non-linear programming

The general context of this paper is to support the design of spillways by a direct mathematical approach instead of trial-and-error methods. First, a two-dimensional model is formulated to determine the free surface and the discharge for a stationary, incompressible, homogeneous, non-viscous and irrotational flow over a fixed spillway. The flow satisfies the Laplace equation and the Bernoulli equation (potential flow). An important feature of the model is that it can be extended to design the spillway structure when the spillway is not fixed but the pressure on the spillway is described by a cavitation criterion. Next, the continuous model is discretized by the boundary element method (BEM). We use a non-linear programming algorithm to calculate the pressures and the shape of the spillway. A computer-aided design package is developed on a PC using the equations describing the free surface, the BEM and standard optimization techniques. The input and output of the model are realized using graphical routines. Finally, we discuss the convergence and the computation time of the algorithms.     

On the determination and construction of optimal row-column designs having unequal row and column sizes

In this paper we consider experimental situations requiring usage of a row-column design where v treatments are to be applied to experimental units arranged in b ₁ rows and b ₂ columns where row i has size k _1i , i=1,..., b ₁ and column j has size k _2j , j=1,..., b ₂. Conditions analogous to those given in Kunert (1983, Ann. Statis., 11, 247–257) and Cheng (1978, Ann. Statist., 6, 1262–1272) are given which can often be used to establish the optimality of a given row-column design from the optimality of an associated block design. In addition, sufficient conditions are derived which guarantee the existence of an optimal row-column design which can be constructed by appropriately arranging treatments within blocks of an optimal block design.Visiting from the Indian Statistical Institute.     

What Makes a Theory Testable, or Is Intelligent Design Less Scientific Than String Theory?

I compare the theory of intelligent design to string theory to see on what basis, if any, only the former can be justifiably excluded as being scientific.We shall see that the classic criterion of testability or falsifiability is sometimes not so straightforward, and that there are other criteria to help us make such a distinction.     

A Mixed Integer Formulation for Multiple-Route Transit Network Design

We consider the design of multiple transit lines in a network and present a mixed integer formulation for this multiple-route transit network design problem (MRTNDP). With the introduction of node labels, the formulation can exploit the route structure and hence attains efficiency in obtaining a cost minimizing transit network design. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Decomposable symmetric designs

The first infinite families of symmetric designs were obtained from finite projective geometries, Hadamard matrices, and difference sets. In this paper we describe two general methods of constructing symmetric designs that give rise to the parameters of all other known infinite families of symmetric designs. The method of global decomposition produces an incidence matrix of a symmetric design as a block matrix with each block being a zero matrix or an incidence matrix of a smaller symmetric design. The method of local decomposition represents incidence matrices of a residual and a derived design of a symmetric design as block matrices with each block being a zero matrix or an incidence matrix of a smaller residual or derived design, respectively.     

Optimization of Oligosaccharide Synthesis from Cellobiose by Dextransucrase

There is a growing market for oligosaccharides as sweeteners, prebiotics, anticariogenic compounds, and immunostimulating agents in both food and pharmaceutical industries. Interest in novel carbohydrate-based products has grown because of their reduced toxicity and low immune response. Cellobiose is potentially valuable as a nondigestible sugar. The reaction of cellobiose, as an acceptor with a sucrose as a donor, catalyzed by a dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMCM, produced a series of cellobio-oligosaccharides. This production system was optimized using a Box–Behnken experimental design for 289 mM of sucrose and 250 mM of cellobiose and 54 U of the enzyme at pH 5.2 and 30 °C, to produce maximum yields of oligosaccharide.     

Interference theory: Moment solution for two component adsorption chromatography

Summary Moment analysis is used to study two component perturbation chromatography with linear non-equilibrium adsorption. The interference between components is included through the adsorption equilibrium. In this work, the expressions for the first and second moments of two component pertubations have been obtained for the first time. They are just the vectorization of those for the single component system, and they clearly show the interference between components. These results could be applied to establish an experimental procedure to measure adsorption equilibrium and kinetic data.
