The existence of sensitive optimal policies in two multi-dimensional queueing models

Recently Dekker and Hordijk [3,4] introduced conditions for the existence of deterministic Blackwell optimal policies in denumerable Markov decision chains with unbounded rewards. These conditions include- uniform geometric recurrence.The-uniform geometric recurrence property also implies the existence of average optimal policies, a solution to the average optimality equation with explicit formula's and convergence of the value iteration algorithm for average rewards. For this reason, the verification of-uniform geometric convergence is also useful in cases where average and-discounted rewards are considered.On the other hand,-uniform geometric recurrence is a heavy condition on the Markov decision chain structure for negative dynamic programming problems. The verification of-uniform geometric recurrence for the Markov chain induced by some deterministic policy together with results by Sennott [14] yields the existence of a deterministic policy that minimizes the expected average cost for non-negative immediate cost functions.In this paper-uniform geometric recurrence will be proved for two queueing models: theK competing queues and the two centre open Jackson network with control of the service rates.The research of the author is supported by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research N.W.O.     

Swelling behavior and mechanical properties of endlinked poly (dimethylsiloxane) networks and randomly crosslinked polyisoprene networks

Measurements of the equilibrium degree of swelling and of the equilibrium modulus were performed on poly(dimethylsiloxane) networks (PDMS) and on polyisoprene vulcanizates. The results support the concept that topological interactions between network chains, e.g. entanglements or the like, have a large influence on the rubber elastic behavior, at least within a certain range of network densities.PDMS networks having network chains of different lengths and varying functionlities of the crosslinks were prepared in bulk by endlinking fractionated ,-divinyl PDMS via multifunctional hydrogen-siloxanes (f=3 to 22). Natural rubber (NR) and synthetic liquid polyisoprene (IR) were cured in bulk with various amounts of dicumyl peroxide to give randomly crosslinked samples.The experimentally determined moduli and degrees of swelling were compared with theoretical predictions based on the phantom network theory and affine network theory, taking into account only chemical crosslinks. The observed discrepancies can be traced back to a contribution of topological interactions (trapped entanglements) to the total effective network density. The modulus and swelling data are consistent, thus ruling out non-equilibrium effects.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2-Chloromethyl-1H-benzimidazole Nitrate, [ClCH_2(C_7H_6N_2)]NO_3

1 INTRODUCTION Benzimidazole is an interesting heterocyclic compound because it is found in various naturally occurring drugs, such as omeprazole, astemizole and emedastine difumarate[1]. The efficacy of sub- stituted benzimidazoles in the treatment of parasitic infections is well known[2～4]. Substituted benzimid- azole moieties are established pharmacophores in parasitic chemotherapy. Bis(2-benzimidazole) and some substituted bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)alkanes have attracted much interest …     

Preparation of novel,high‐modulus,swollen‐ or jungle‐gym‐type polyimide gels end‐crosslinked with 1,3,5‐tris(4‐aminophenyl)benzene

A novel preparation approach for high‐performance polyimide gels that are swollen or have a jungle‐gym‐type structure is proposed. A new rigid and symmetric trifunctional amine, 1,3,5‐tris(4‐aminophenyl)benzene (TAPB), was synthesized as a crosslinker. Three different kinds of amic acid oligomers derived from pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 4,4′‐oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA), p‐phenylenediamine (PDA), and 4,4′‐oxydianiline (ODA) were end‐crosslinked with TAPB at a high temperature to make polyimide networks with different structures. Transparent polyimide gels were obtained from the ODPA–ODA/TAPB series with high compression moduli of about 1 MPa at their equilibrium swollen states in N‐methylpyrrolidone. Microscopic phase separation occurred during the gelation–imidization process when polyimide networks were generated from PMDA–PDA/TAPB and PMDA–ODA/TAPB. After these opaque polyimide networks were dried, a jungle‐gym‐like structure was obtained for the PMDA–PDA/TAPB and PMDA–ODA/TAPB series; that is, there was a high void content inside the networks (up to 70%) and little volume shrinkage. These polyimide networks did not expand but absorbed the solvent and showed moduli as high as those of solids. Therefore, using the highly rigid crosslinker TAPB combined with the flexible monomers ODPA and ODA and the rigid monomers PMDA and PDA, we prepared swollen, high‐performance polyimide gels and jungle‐gym‐type polyimide networks, respectively. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Impulsive generalized function synchronization of complex dynamical networks

This Letter investigates generalized function synchronization of continuous and discrete complex networks by impulsive control. By constructing the reasonable corresponding impulsively controlled response networks, some criteria and corollaries are derived for the generalized function synchronization between the impulsively controlled complex networks, continuous and discrete networks are both included. Furthermore, the generalized linear synchronization and nonlinear synchronization are respectively illustrated by several examples. All the numerical simulations demonstrate the correctness of the theoretical results.     

Esters flash point prediction using artificial neural networks

In this article, an artificial neural network to predict the flash point of 95 esters was implemented. Four variables were used for its development. A neural network with 4‐5‐8‐5‐1 topology was encountered to gain the best agreement of the experimental results with those predicted (square correlation coefficient (R²) and root mean square error were 0.99 and 5.46 K for the training phase and 0.96 and 13.02 K for the testing set). © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
