惯例复制与知识转移:作用机制的权变条件研究

针对惯例复制过程中与外部情景难以匹配的复制困境,分析了常规惯例复制和柔性惯例复制对知识转移的单独以及联合作用的关系悖论,对比分析作用机制在网络闭合性和环境不确定性约束下的权变性影响。以研发密集型企业为对象,运用多元回归分析进行实证检验。结果表明:网络闭合性和环境不确定性是惯例复制对知识转移的单独以及联合作用的权变条件;网络闭合性强化了常规惯例复制机制的促进作用,但限制了柔性惯例复制机制的效能发挥;环境不确定性削弱了常规惯例复制机制的促进作用,对柔性惯例复制机制的作用效果不显著;网络闭合性低或环境不确定性低时,两种惯例复制机制的联合作用相互补充,而网络闭合性高或环境不确定性高时,两种惯例复制机制相互替代。研究结论有助于揭示惯例复制的权变作用,对提升技术创新网络的知识转移效率具有重要意义。     

Self‐organization of functional gradient structure in the biodegradable chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blend film

Biologically inspired optimal structures combining the bioresorbable and bioactive properties are expected for the next generation of biomaterials. A compositional gradient structure was found to be spontaneously formed in the film of biodegradable chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blend by casting aqueous solution on an aluminum dish. The formation of compositional gradient structure was confirmed by FTIR mapping measurement, DMTA measurement, and SEM observation on the freeze‐fractured cross section. In DMTA measurement, a broadening of the α‐relaxation curve corresponding to the glass transition was observed for the compositional gradient film, while a composition‐dependent single glass transition was observed for the homogeneous blend films. The resulted film with stable self‐organized compositional gradient exhibits novel physical properties inaccessible for the film of homogeneous blends obtained by casting from the same solution on a Teflon dish. The compositional gradient films present a unique combination of stronger stress and higher yield strain when compared with those of the homogeneous films at both dry and wet states. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Wrinkles formed on a thin gold film deposited onto stretched elastic substrates

In this article the possibility of using various elastic polymer substrates for preparing wrinkled gold films was studied. The gold film was deposited on the substrate using an ion‐sputtering technique, while the substrate was stretched and fixed on a frame. The obtained gold film had wrinkles with a striped pattern. However, whether the pattern was well regulated or not depended on the substrate material. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was the preferable material when it did not contain fillers. Materials containing fillers are not suitable for this purpose. However, double layer substrates that consist of the PDMS without fillers (the upper layer) and the material containing fillers (the lower layer) could be used to obtain a relatively well‐ordered pattern.

The Susceptibility of Non-UV Fluorescent Membrane Dyes to Dynamical Properties of Lipid Membranes

Fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy are powerful techniques to detect dynamic properties in artificial and natural lipid membrane systems. Unfortunately, most fluorescent dyes that sense dynamically relevant membrane parameters are UV sensitive. Their major disadvantage is a high susceptibility to fluorescence bleaching. Additionally, the risk for hazardous damages in biological components generally increases with decreasing excitation wavelength. Therefore the use of non-UV–sensitive membrane dyes would provide significant advantage, particularly for applications in fluorescence microscopy, which usually implies high local excitation intensities. We applied steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy techniques to several UV and non-UV membrane dyes to detect and compare dynamically relevant excitation and emission characteristics. Small unilamellar liposomes (composed of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine) served as a model system for biological membranes. The dynamic properties of the membranes were varied by two independent parameters: the intrinsic cholesterol content (0–50 mol%) and temperature (10–50°C). We tested four non-UV–sensitive membrane dyes: 9-diethylamino-5H-benzophenoxazine-5-one (Nile Red), 4-(dicyanovinyl)julolidine (DCVJ), N-(3-triethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(4-(dibutylamino)styryl) pyridinium dibromide (FM 4-64), and 1,1-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiIC₁₈). We also tested three derivatives of DiIC₁₈: DiIC₁₆ and DiIC₁₂ differ in acyl chain length and Fast-DiIC₁₈ provides double bonds between hydrocarbon atoms. The spectral results were compared to established fluorescence characteristics of four UV membrane dyes: the anisotropy of 1-6-phenyl-1,3,5,-hexatrien (DPH), two derivatives of DPH (TMA-DPH and COO^–-DHP), and the generalized polarization of 6-dodecanoyl-2-dimethyl-aminonaphthalene (Laurdan). Our results indicate that the tested non-UV dyes do not reveal dynamically relevant membrane parameters in a direct manner. However, spectral characteristics make DiIC₁₈, Nile Red, and DCVJ promising probes for the microscopic detection of lateral lipid organization, an indirect indicator of membrane dynamics. In particular, DiIC₁₈ showed very selective shifts in the emission spectra at defined temperatures and cholesterol contents that have not been reported elsewhere.

Organization of nanoscale objects via polymer demixing

We present an extremely versatile method for the lateral organization of nano-scale objects (NOs) based on the phenomenon of polymer demixing. NOs are suspended in a solution of two immiscible polymers, which is used to form a thin polymer film by spin coating. During spin coating the two polymers separate to give a microphase structure, whose length scale depends on the experimental conditions. The NOs spontaneously partition into one or other of the polymer phases resulting in their lateral organization. In this work, the organization of CdSe nanoparticles and fluorescent organic dyes was studied by fluorescence microscopy. The NOs were organized in the polymer film in stochastic patterns or in ordered designs on substrates pre-patterned by soft-lithography techniques. Single-particle measurements, using confocal microscopy, showed that at low concentrations there was little aggregation of the particles.     

Auto-organization in sol-gel type polycondensation: a door to the nanosciences

Silica-based hybrid organic-inorganic materials prepared by sol-gel chemistry exhibit chemical and physical properties revealing their anisotropic organization. Besides the opportunities that these phenomena open for the preparation of new materials, they also provide arguments for the chemist looking for better comprehension and control of the solid's organization.     

The $-game

We propose a payoff function extending Minority Games (MG) that captures the competition between agents to make money. In contrast with previous MG, the best strategies are not always targeting the minority but are shifting opportunistically between the minority and the majority. The emergent properties of the price dynamics and of the wealth of agents are strikingly different from those found in MG. As the memory of agents is increased, we find a phase transition between a self-sustained speculative phase in which a “stubborn majority” of agents effectively collaborate to arbitrage a market-maker for their mutual benefit and a phase where the market-maker always arbitrages the agents. A subset of agents exhibit a sustained non-equilibrium risk-return profile.

Inevitable self-similar topology of binary trees and their diverse hierarchical density

Self-similar topology, which can be characterized as power law size distribution, has been found in diverse tree networks ranging from river networks to taxonomic trees. In this study, we find that the statistical self-similar topology is an inevitable consequence of any full binary tree organization. We show this by coding a binary tree as a unique bifurcation string. This coding scheme allows us to investigate trees over the realm from deterministic to entirely random trees. To obtain partial random trees, partial random perturbation is added to the deterministic trees by an operator similar to that used in genetic algorithms. Our analysis shows that the hierarchical density of binary trees is more diverse than has been described in earlier studies. We find that the connectivity structure of river networks is far from strict self-similar trees. On the other hand, organization of some social networks is close to deterministic supercritical trees.
