Colliding stacks: A large deviations analysis

We analyze the performance of a prototypical scheme for shared storage allocation: two initially empty stacks evolving in a contiguous block of memory of size m. We treat the case in which the stacks are more likely to shrink than grow, but with the probabilities of insertion and deletion allowed to depend arbitrarily on stack height as a fraction of m. New results are obtained on the m → ∞ asymptotics of the stack collision time, and of the final stack heights. The results of Wentzell and Freidlin on the large deviations of Markov chains are used, and the relation of their formalism to the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics is emphasized. Certain results on higher-order asymptotics follow from WKB expansions.     

自由基-分子反应:F+Propene(CH2CHCH3)的从头算研究

采用从头算CCSD(T)/6-311 G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p)方法,研究了自由基-分子反应F CH2CHCH3的各种不同的反应通道．该反应主要是通过复合物形成机制进行,即F分别加到碳碳双键的两端形成自由基复合物1和2．这两种亚稳态自由基会解离成三种产物:H C3H5F、CH3 C2H3F和HF C3H5．理论计算结果表明,生成CH3 C2H3F是反应的主要通道,而生成H C3H5F和HF C3H5对产物也有一定的贡献．这一结果和实验符合得很好．     

Mechanism of catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-formyl-1-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline using Ru(CH3COO)2[(S)-binap]

The mechanism of the asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-acyl-1-alkylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, the first reported reaction with the Noyori-Takaya Ru(CH₃COO)₂(binap) complex, has been investigated by means of deuterium labeling, kinetics, and NMR analysis. A series of experiments has revealed that (1) a monohydride-unsaturated mechanism operates involving the initial formation of RuH followed by reaction with the enamide substrate, (2) the hydride transfer from RuH to the olefinic double bond is endothermic and reversible, and (3) the rate is determined in the hydrogenolysis step. This view is consistent with that of proposed for the BINAP-Ru catalyzed Kagan reaction.     

基于内生信息的股票发售机制比较研究

本文在内生信息成本的基础上，通过引入投资银行的信息成本函数，考察了国际上主要股票发售机制的内在机理，并用一个统一的框架比较了各种发售机制的差异及演进趋势。本研究表明，在投资银行和投资者信息成本相同的情况下，由于固定价格发售机制须用额外的折价去解决投资者之间的信息问题，因而相对于累计投标询价制是一种处于劣势的机制选择。同时指出，具有信息成本优势的机构投资者的出现和发展，是固定价格发行向询价发行过渡的一个必要条件。     

Regiochemistry of the addition of mercury salts to bornylene

The dependence of the regiochemistry of the mercuration of bornylene on the nature of the mercurating reagent and on the solvent has been found. The structures of the intermediate and transition state in these reactions have been proposed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 501–505, March, 1994.

19F NMR study of relative polarities and reactivities of N-H,N-Hg,and N-Au bonds in 2-(4-fluorophenyl)benzimidazole and its PhHg and Ph3PAu derivatives in intermolecular exchange

It has been shown by the¹⁹F NMR method that the relative polarities of nitrogenelement bonds in 2-(4-fluorophenyl)benzimidazole and its PhHg and PPh₃Au derivatives increase in the order N-H19F NMR. It has been found that these reactions occur by a bimolecular associative mechanism and that the N-H bond is substantially less reactive than the N-Hg and N-Au bonds, which have identical reactivities within the limits of sensitivity of the method used.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

NMR Study of the propagation center in the cationic polymerization of N-benzoyl-8-octanelactam. II. Investigation of the propagation center

The nature of the propagation center in the cationic polymerization of N-benzoyl-8-octanelactam initiated by octanoylium hexachlcroantimonate, SbCl₅, and Ph₃CAsF₆ in perdeuterated tetrachloroethane or its mixture with o-dichlorobenzene was studied using ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ³¹P, ⁷⁵As, and ¹²¹Sb nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of model oligomers and the products of their end-capping with triphenylphosphine. In all cases, the nature of the propagation center has been found to be of an acylium ion pair with an SbCl₆^? or AsF₆^? counterion coordinated with the nearest benzoylamide group and cosolvated by the solvent. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Cyclic networks with general blocking and starvation

We introducegeneral starvation and consider cyclic networks withgeneral blocking and starvation (GBS). The mechanism of general blocking allows the server to process a limited number of jobs when the buffer downstream is full, and that of general starvation allows the server to perform a limited number of services in anticipation of jobs that are yet to arrive. The two main goals of this paper are to investigate how the throughput of cyclic GBS networks is affected by varying (1) the total number of jobsJ, and (2) the buffer allocationk=(k₁..., k_m) subject to a fixed total buffer capacityK=k ₁ +... + k_m. In particular, we obtain sufficient conditions for the throughput to be symmetric inJ and to be maximized whenJ=K/2. We also show that the equal buffer allocation is optimal under the two regimes of light or heavy usage. In order to establish these results, we obtain several intermediate structural properties of the throughput, using duality, reversibility, and concavity, which are of independent interest.Research supported in part by NSF Grant No. ECS-8919818.
