A low-order meshless model for multidimensional heat conduction problems

In this paper, a perturbation method is used to solve a two-dimensional unsteady heat conduction problem. Low-order transfer functions are defined. Step responses are obtained and compared to the complete numerical solutions given by a meshless method. The analytical results are found to be in good agreement with numerical solutions which reveals the effectiveness and convenience of the used method.     

Study on the model of an insurer’s solvency ratio in Markov-modulated Brownian markets

In this paper the insurer’s solvency ratio model with or without jump diffusion process in the presence of financial distress cost is constructed, where an insurer’s solvency ratio is characterized by a Markov-modulated dynamics. By Girsanov’s theorem and the option pricing formula, the expected present value of shareholders’ terminal payoff is provided.     

资产价格中跳的检验与度量

分离估计归因于跳部分和连续部分对资产定价是非常重要的.由于市场信息的流入,前者通常比后者缺少可预测性.到目前为此,小波方法对于发现跳点和估计跳大小是有力的,正如王亚珍[1].但是在一些程度上,在点估计方面不能准确地对跳的位置和大小进行估计.本文中,我们提出了改进方法去估计已实现方差,从而新的估计量被用于在不同的取样策略...     

Power laws in surface physics: the deep, the shallow and the useful

The growth and dynamics of solid surfaces displays a multitude of power law relationships, which are often associated with geometric self-similarity. In many cases the mechanisms behind these power laws are comparatively trivial, and require little more than dimensional analysis for their derivation. The information of interest to surface physicists then resides in the prefactors. This point will be illustrated by recent experimental and theoretical work on the growth-induced roughening of thin films and step fluctuations on vicinal surfaces. The conventional distinction between trivial and nontrivial power laws will be critically examined in general, and specifically in the context of persistence of step fluctuations.     

Photophysics of a series of efficient fluorescent pH probes for dual-emission-wavelength measurements in aqueous solutions

This paper evaluates the 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole backbone to engineer donor-acceptor fluorescent pH probes after one- or two-photon absorption. Parent fluorophores, as well as derivatives that can be used to label biomolecules, can be easily obtained in good yields. These molecules exhibit a large one-photon absorption in the near-UV range, and a strong fluorescence emission that covers the whole visible domain. The 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole derivatives also possess significant cross sections for two-photon absorption. Upon pyridine protonation, large shifts were observed in the absorption spectra after one- and two-photon excitation, as well as in the emission spectra. This feature was used to measure the pK(a) of the investigated compounds that range between 2 and 8. In most of the investigated derivatives, the pK(a) increased upon light excitation and protonation exchanges took place during the lifetime of the excited state, as shown by phase-modulation fluorometry analysis. Several 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole derivatives are suggested as efficient probes to reliably measure the pH of aqueous solutions by means of ratiometric methods that are dependent on fluorescence emission.

碳基针孔组合微电极的性能测试与理论验证

在涂敷绝缘漆的碳电极上，用针尖刺穿绝缘膜，形成组合微盘电极.在铁氰化钾与亚铁氰化钾溶液体系测得电极的循环伏安曲线与理论计算曲线十分吻合.阶梯扫描伏安法测得的极限扩散电流，与亚铁氰化钾浓度和扫描速率平方根都成良好的线性关系.在氯化钾支持电解质溶液中，测得Cd(Ⅱ)的循环伏安曲线是不可逆的， Cd(Ⅱ)的还原波峰电位在－0.98 V（相对于饱和甘汞电极）附近； 800 mV•s－1阶梯扫描速率下，在2.55×10－5 ～1.28×10－4 mol•dm－3浓度范围内， Cd(Ⅱ)的浓度与还原波峰电流成良好的线性关系.     

低煤级煤热解H2生成动力学及其与第一次煤化作用跃变的关系

用开放体系的热重-质谱联用仪(TG/MS)研究了7种低煤级煤的热解特征、H2的生成动力学特征以及它们与第一次煤化作用跃变的关系. 结果显示, 煤热解失重率在碳含量(Cdaf)为80%(质量分数)和镜质组最大反射率(R0max)为0.60%附近发生转折; 氢气生成的特征温度参数以及动力学参数均在Cdaf为80%(R0max为0.60%)左右表现为最低; 氢气的总产率在此处最大. 这些特征参数的极值点刚好与第一次煤化作用跃变点一致, 说明这些参数可以反映第一次煤化作用跃变的发生. 结合傅立叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱法获得的煤结构特征, 对影响机制进行了分析解释, 认为是由以下3个方面的原因导致的: (1)煤中脂肪类含氧官能团的演化特征; (2)可溶有机质的低温热缩聚作用; (3)有机质的“两极分化”作用.     

Analyses of synthetic antioxidants by capillary electrochromatography using poly(styrene-divinylbenzene-lauryl methacrylate) monolith

In this study, several organic polymer-based monoliths prepared by single step in situ copolymerization of styrene- and methacrylate ester-based monomers (styrene (S), divinylbenzene (DVB) and lauryl methacrylate (LMA)) were developed as stationary phases of capillary electrochromatography (CEC) for the analyses of synthetic antioxidants. These monoliths were characterized by examining the SEM image, IR spectrum, and measuring the pore size, surface area, conversion yield, and thermal decomposition temperature. The polymerization procedure was optimized by varying the reaction temperature, the reaction time, and the LMA-styrene ratio. The LMA-styrene ratio had the most significant influence on the peak symmetry of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol (BHT), the latter being greatly affected by excessive peak tailing in the poly(S-DVB) monolith. It showed that the interaction between the poly(S-DVB) monolith and the antioxidant (BHT or BHA) was significantly altered by the insertion of LMA. Compared with the best HPLC and CE methods previously reported, this proposed CEC method provides a comparable separation ability for the five antioxidants analyzed. This study demonstrates that the potentiality of poly(S-DVB-LMA) monolith as stationary phase, especially for CEC system, because of high thermal stability and good column reproducibility.
