Phenanthroline-fluorescein molecular hybrid as a ratiometric and selective fluorescent chemosensor for Cu2+ via FRET strategy: synthesis,computational studies and in vitro applications

A FRET-based chemosensor L containing donor phenanthroline and acceptor fluorescein moiety was designed, synthesised and characterised for the ratiometric fluorescent detection of Cu²⁺ in organo-aqueous solution. Probe L showed high selectivity and excellent sensitivity towards Cu²⁺ ions by exhibiting both colorimetric and fluorometric changes due to opening of the spirolactum ring of fluorescein upon complexation with Cu²⁺. In presence of Cu²⁺ ions, probe L formed L-Cu²⁺ complex in 1:1 stoichiometric fashion which is established on the basis of Job’s plot and mass spectroscopy. We also performed DFT computational studies to know the binding nature and coordination feature of the complex. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging studies revealed that probe L was cell permeable and could be used to detect intracellular Cu²⁺ in living cells.     

改进种群多样性的双变异差分进化算法

差分进化算法(DE)是一种基于种群的启发式随机搜索技术,对于解决连续性优化问题具有较强的鲁棒性.然而传统差分进化算法存在种群多样性和收敛速度之间的矛盾,一种改进种群多样性的双变异差分进化算法(DADE),通过引入BFS-best机制(基于排序的可行解选取递减策略)改进变异算子"DE/current-to-best",将其与DE/rand/1构成双变异策略来改善DE算法中种群多样性减少的问题.同时,每个个体的控制参数基于排序自适应更新.最后,利用多个CEC2013标准测试函数对改进算法进行测试,实验结果表明,改进后的算法能有效改善种群多样性,较好地提高了算法的全局收敛能力和收敛速度.     

可行策略对应的图像拓扑下广义博弈Nash平衡的稳定性

以往关于广义博弈Nash平衡的稳定性的研究,均利用可行策略映射之间的一致度量.现考虑在更弱的度量下,利用可行策略映射图像之间的Hausdorff距离定义度量.在此弱图像拓扑下,证明了广义博弈空间的完备性,以及Nash平衡映射的上半连续性和紧性,进而得到广义博弈Nash平衡的通有稳定性.即在Baire分类的意义下,大多数的广义博弈都是本质的.

结构的多机并行分析I——结构的并行有限元方法

本文详细分析和讨论了结构分析的并行有限元方法—并行预处理共轭梯度法(以下简称PPCG法)。着重讨论了基于自带存储器的多处理机系统的并行预处理算法问题,并由此提出了两种PPCG法:PPCG1和PPCG2法。这两种方法适用于以单道剖分(one-way dissection)的子结构法为基础的并行分析。由于这种剖分法产生的结构刚度矩阵具有箭头形状,可独立地消除各子结构的内部自由度,并且不会在刚度矩阵中产生新的非零元素,因此很适合具有较多处理机的并行机系统对复杂结构进行的并行分析。     

Nash equilibrium strategies for a defined contribution pension management

This paper studies the time-consistent investment strategy for a defined contribution (DC) pension plan under the mean–variance criterion. Since the time horizon of a pension fund management problem is relatively long, two background risks are taken into account: the inflation risk and the salary risk. Meanwhile, there are a risk-free asset, a stock and an inflation-indexed bond available in the financial market. The extended Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB for short) equation of the equilibrium value function and the verification theorem corresponding to our problem are presented. The closed-form time-consistent investment strategy and the equilibrium efficient frontier are obtained by stochastic control technique. The effects of the inflation and stochastic income on the equilibrium strategy and the equilibrium efficient frontier are illustrated by mathematical and numerical analysis. Finally, we compare in detail the time-consistent results in our paper with the pre-commitment one and find the distinct properties of these two results.     

Facile and stereo-controlled synthesis of 2-deoxynojirimycin, Miglustat and Miglitol

A novel and facile synthesis of a series of the biologically significant iminosugar derivatives including 2-deoxynojirimycin, Miglustat and Miglitol is reported. The synthesis features a strategic double inversion mechanism for securing the desired stereochemistry at C5 position of such glucose-type carbohydrate mimetics, representing a practical and remarkable improvement on the previously reported method that suffers from the loss of the stereo-control during the reaction process.

Nonmonotone algorithm for minimax optimization problems

Many real life problems can be stated as a minimax optimization problem, such as the problems in economics, finance, management, engineering and other fields. In this paper, we present an algorithm with nonmonotone strategy and second-order correction technique for minimax optimization problems. Using this scheme, the new algorithm can overcome the difficulties of the Maratos effect occurred in the nonsmooth optimization, and the global and superlinear convergence of the algorithm can be achieved accordingly. Numerical experiments indicate some advantages of this scheme.     

Quantum-inspired space search algorithm (QSSA) for global numerical optimization

This work presents the evolutionary quantum-inspired space search algorithm (QSSA) for solving numerical optimization problems. In the proposed algorithm, the feasible solution space is decomposed into regions in terms of quantum representation. As the search progresses from one generation to the next, the quantum bits evolve gradually to increase the probability of selecting the regions that render good fitness values. Through the inherent probabilistic mechanism, the QSSA initially behaves as a global search algorithm and gradually evolves into a local search algorithm, yielding a good balance between exploration and exploitation. To prevent a premature convergence and to speed up the overall search speed, an overlapping strategy is also proposed. The QSSA is applied to a series of numerical optimization problems. The experiments show that the results obtained by the QSSA are quite competitive compared to those obtained using state-of-the-art IPOP-CMA-ES and QEA.
