New NCP-Functions and Their Properties

Recently, Luo and Tseng proposed a class of merit functions for the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) and showed that it enjoys several interesting properties under some assumptions. In this paper, adopting a similar idea to that of Luo and Tseng, we present new merit functions for the NCP, which can be decomposed into component functions. We show that these merit functions not only share many properties with the one proposed by Luo and Tseng but also enjoy additional favorable properties owing to their decomposable structure. In particular, we present fairly mild conditions under which these merit functions have bounded level sets.

Cu-X(X=B, Al, Ga, In)共掺杂对ZnS可见光吸收的影响

ZnS能够用于光解水制氢,但是由于ZnS带隙较宽在一定程度上制约了可见光的吸收。为了减小闪锌矿ZnS的带隙宽度,增加对可见光的吸收,采用密度泛函理论研究了Cu-X(X=B, Al, Ga, In)共掺杂对ZnS电子结构和可见光吸收的影响。计算结果表明Cu-X(X=B, Al, Ga, In)共掺杂ZnS的结合能都是负值,都属于稳定结构;掺杂使得闪锌矿ZnS的带隙宽度由2.9eV分别减小到2.68eV、2.41 eV、2.18 eV、1.82 eV,导致了吸收谱和光导产生红移,有利于可见光的吸收;掺杂后导带底向低能级方向移动,同时在禁带中产生p-d杂化能级,导致了带隙宽度减小,有利于可见光的吸收和阻止光生载流子的复合;最后掺杂ZnS的带边位置满足水解制氢的条件,可用于制造光催化剂。综上所述Cu-X(X=B, Al, Ga, In)共掺杂ZnS有利于可见光的吸收。

A Modified Relaxation Scheme for Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints

In this paper, we consider a mathematical program with complementarity constraints. We present a modified relaxed program for this problem, which involves less constraints than the relaxation scheme studied by Scholtes (2000). We show that the linear independence constraint qualification holds for the new relaxed problem under some mild conditions. We also consider a limiting behavior of the relaxed problem. We prove that any accumulation point of stationary points of the relaxed problems is C-stationary to the original problem under the MPEC linear independence constraint qualification and, if the Hessian matrices of the Lagrangian functions of the relaxed problems are uniformly bounded below on the corresponding tangent space, it is M-stationary. We also obtain some sufficient conditions of B-stationarity for a feasible point of the original problem. In particular, some conditions described by the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrices mentioned above are new and can be verified easily.

First observation of the ν9/2[404] orbital in the A ∼ 100 mass region

A new band, populated by the spontaneous fission of ²⁴⁸Cm and studied by means of prompt γ-ray spectroscopy using the EUROGAM2 array, was observed in ⁹⁹Zr. The 1038.8 keV band head with a half-life T _1/2 = 54(10) ns is interpreted as a K-isomer, corresponding to the 9/2[404] neutron-hole excitation. It is the first observation of this orbital in the mass A ∼ 100 region. The quadrupole moment, Q ₀ = 3.9(3) eb deduced for the new band indicates a large deformation of β = 0.41, which is produced by a specific shape-coexistence mechanism, known in other regions and now found in the A ∼ 100 nuclei.

Effects of prolonged oral reading on F0, SPL, subglottal pressure and amplitude characteristics of glottal flow waveforms

The effects of prolonged (5x45 minute) reading (vocal loading) on fundamental frequency (F0), sound pressure level (SPL), subglottal (intraroral) pressure (p), and two glottal flow waveform parameters (AC amplitude of glottal flow, f, and negative peak amplitude of differentiated flow (d) of normal female and male subjects (N = 80) were studied. Two rest (morning and noon) and three loading (two in the morning and one in the afternoon) samples were recorded and analyzed. The glottal waveforms were obtained by inverse filtering of the acoustic pressure waveforms of speaking voice samples. The analyses were based on measurement and inverse filtering of the first stressed syllable of "paappa" words repeated 3x5 times for normal, as soft as possible, and as loud as possible phonation. In normal phonation the parameter values changed statistically significantly due to loading. In many cases the values obtained in the morning samples changed after the first loading session. This is interpreted as a vocal "warming-up effect." Especially in soft phonation p, d, and f were sensitive indicators of vocal loading. In both normal and soft phonation, the SPL, p, d, and f values tended to rise due to prolonged reading in the morning and afternoon samples, indicating increased effort (normal phonation) and a rise in the phonatory threshold (soft phonation). The lunch break vocal rest ("rest effect") considerably affected the parameter values in many cases.     

Radionuclede Transport Through Fractured Porous Media

Abstract

A simplified model has been developed to arrive at spatial and temporal distribution of radionuclide concentration in fracture waters of granite host rock containing high level radioactive waste repository. The modelling has been carried out using two coupled one-dimensional equations, one for the fracture and the other for host rock. The source term to the model is provided using a two component exponential leaching system from the vitrified waste form stored in the repository. The processes considered are advection, radioactive decay and adsorption on the surface in the case of fracture, and diffusion, radioactive decay and adsorption in the microfissures of the medium in the case of host rock. The concentrations of various radionuclides are discussed in relation to the physico-chemical parameters of the system.
