Computer Assisted Spectrophotometric Analysis of Three Component Mixtures (Caffeine Mixtures and Codeine Mixtures)

Abstract

Two mixtures (caffeine mixture (I) and codeine mixture (II)) of 3-components, containing acetaminophen and salicylamide as majors, have been assayed using different computer-assisted spectrophotometric methods. These methods are the Unique Absorbance Method (UAM), the Unique Orthogonal Function Method (UOFM), and Unique Fourier Function Method (UFFM), and also their correspondences under the least squares approach. The parameters have been optimized for the accurate determination of the minor component caffeine in mixture (I). In mixture (II), however. codeine has been extracted - in two steps-prior to the correction of interferences from the major components acetaminophen and salicylamide.     

A new class of multi-wavelet bases: V-system

The V-system is a complete orthogonal system of functions defined on the interval [0, 1], generated by finite Legendre polynomials and the dilation and translation of a function generator, which consists of a finite number of continuous and discontinuous functions. The V-system has interesting properties, such as orthogonality, symmetry, completeness and short compact support. It is shown in this paper that the V-system is essentially a special multi-wavelet basis. As a result, some basic properties of the V-system are established through the well-developed theory of multi-wavelets. From this point of view, more other V-systems are constructed.     

Convergence of FFT‐based homogenization for strongly heterogeneous media

The FFT‐based homogenization method of Moulinec–Suquet has recently attracted attention because of its wide range of applicability and short computational time. In this article, we deduce an optimal a priori error estimate for the homogenization method of Moulinec–Suquet, which can be interpreted as a spectral collocation method. Such methods are well‐known to converge for sufficiently smooth coefficients. We extend this result to rough coefficients. More precisely, we prove convergence of the fields involved for Riemann‐integrable coercive coefficients without the need for an a priori regularization. We show that our L² estimates are optimal and extend to mildly nonlinear situations and L^p estimates for p in the vicinity of 2. The results carry over to the case of scalar elliptic and curl ? curl‐type equations, encountered, for instance, in stationary electromagnetism. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

确定性矩阵可分离压缩成像

针对可分离压缩传感使用的可分离随机正交矩阵在处理大尺度图像等高维信号感知时难度太大或成本过高的问题,引入确定性测量矩阵,提出确定性矩阵可分离压缩传感,可将如托普利兹矩阵及循环矩阵等具有确定性结构的矩阵作为可分离压缩传感的左、右可分离矩阵.该方案可以降低独立元素的数目,从而显著降低前端物理实现的难度与成本.数值模拟实验分别评估了该方法在不同采样率及不同图像尺寸下的压缩重建性能,结果表明该方法在独立元素非常少的情形下得到与原随机正交矩阵相近的重建质量,证明了其可行性.     

An efficient meshfree point collocation moving least squares method to solve the interface problems with nonhomogeneous jump conditions

We are going to study a simple and effective method for the numerical solution of the closed interface boundary value problem with both discontinuities in the solution and its derivatives. It uses a strong‐form meshfree method based on the moving least squares (MLS) approximation. In this method, for the solution of elliptic equation, the second‐order derivatives of the shape functions are needed in constructing the global stiffness matrix. It is well‐known that the calculation of full derivatives of the MLS approximation, especially in high dimensions, is quite costly. In the current work, we apply the diffuse derivatives using an efficient technique. In this technique, we calculate the higher‐order derivatives using the approximation of lower‐order derivatives, instead of calculating directly derivatives. This technique can improve the accuracy of meshfree point collocation method for interface problems with nonhomogeneous jump conditions and can efficiently estimate diffuse derivatives of second‐ and higher‐orders using only linear basis functions. To introduce the appropriate discontinuous shape functions in the vicinity of interface, we choose the visibility criterion method that modifies the support of weight function in MLS approximation and leads to an efficient computational procedure for the solution of closed interface problems. The proposed method is applied for elliptic and biharmonic interface problems. For the biharmonic equation, we use a mixed scheme, which replaces this equation by a coupled elliptic system. Also the application of the present method to elasticity equation with discontinuities in the coefficients across a closed interface has been provided. Representative numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed methodology for the closed interface problems. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Three‐Factor Product Construction for Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares

It is well known that mutually orthogonal latin squares, or MOLS, admit a (Kronecker) product construction. We show that, under mild conditions, “triple products” of MOLS can result in a gain of one square. In terms of transversal designs, the technique is to use a construction of Rolf Rees twice: once to obtain a coarse resolution of the blocks after one product, and next to reorganize classes and resolve the blocks of the second product. As consequences, we report a few improvements to the MOLS table and obtain a slight strengthening of the famous theorem of MacNeish.     

Research on improving the accuracy of near infrared non-invasive hemoglobin detection

To optimize the accuracy of near-infrared non-invasive hemoglobin (Hb) clinical detection, high-performance instrument and prepossessing algorithm have been investigated. A near-infrared spectrophotometric system was constructed adopting InGaAs detector array with 16 pixels and plane grating spectrometer to obtain high signal noise ratio (SNR) spectral data. In our experiment, we applied the device independently to collect spectra data from 91 volunteers’ fingertips non-invasively. Two prediction tests were conducted to verify the effects of preprocessing algorithms improving the accuracy of near-infrared Hb detection and exclude the occasionality of satisfactory results in a single trial. Our non-invasive Hb detection methods were based on partial least squares (PLS). In each test, PLS, MSC coupled with PLS, DOSC coupled with PLS, three methods for non-invasive Hb detection, were analyzed respectively. The results of two trials showed that only DOSC & PLS performed excellently in both predictive ability and stability, obviously better than other two methods. Relative RMSEP was 6.16% in predicting test 1, 6.08% in predicting test 2, almost reaching the requirements of clinical application. It indicates that our independent-developed high-performance instrument and the method DOSC coupled with PLS are promising in non-invasive Hb detection clinical application.     

Free vibration of non-uniform nanobeams using Rayleigh–Ritz method

In this article, boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials have been implemented in the Rayleigh–Ritz method to investigate free vibration of non-uniform Euler–Bernoulli nanobeams based on nonlocal elasticity theory. Non-uniform cross section of nanobeams has been considered by taking linear as well as quadratic variations of Young's modulus and density along the space coordinate. Detailed analysis has been reported for all the possible cases of such variations. The objective of the present study is to analyze the effects of nonlocal parameter, boundary condition, length-to-diameter ratio and non-uniform parameter on the frequency parameters. It is found that clamped nanobeams are having highest frequency parameters than other types of boundary conditions for a particular set of parameters. It is also observed that frequency parameters decrease with increase in scaling effect parameter. First four deflection shapes of non-uniform nanobeams have also been incorporated. In this analysis, some of the new results in terms of boundary conditions have also been included.
