Generalized Rule Induction Based on Immune Algorithm

A generalized rule induction mechanism, immune algorithm, for knowledge bases is building an inheritance hierarchy of classes based on the content of their knowledge objects. This hierarchy facilitates group-related processing tasks such as answering set queries, discriminating between objects, finding similarities among objects, etc. Building this hierarchy is a difficult task for knowledge engineers. Conceptual induction may be used to automate or assist engineers in the creation of such a classification structure. This paper introduces a new conceptual rule induction method, which addresses the problem of clustering large amounts of structured objects. The conditions under which the method is applicable are discussed.     

Collective Strategy Condensation: When Envy Splits Societies

Human societies are characterized by three constituent features, besides others. (A) Options, as for jobs and societal positions, differ with respect to their associated monetary and non-monetary payoffs. (B) Competition leads to reduced payoffs when individuals compete for the same option as others. (C) People care about how they are doing relatively to others. The latter trait—the propensity to compare one’s own success with that of others—expresses itself as envy. It is shown that the combination of (A)–(C) leads to spontaneous class stratification. Societies of agents split endogenously into two social classes, an upper and a lower class, when envy becomes relevant. A comprehensive analysis of the Nash equilibria characterizing a basic reference game is presented. Class separation is due to the condensation of the strategies of lower-class agents, which play an identical mixed strategy. Upper-class agents do not condense, following individualist pure strategies. The model and results are size-consistent, holding for arbitrary large numbers of agents and options. Analytic results are confirmed by extensive numerical simulations. An analogy to interacting confined classical particles is discussed.     

Detecting and Analyzing Politically-Themed Stocks Using Text Mining Techniques and Transfer Entropy—Focus on the Republic of Korea’s Case

Politically-themed stocks mainly refer to stocks that benefit from the policies of politicians. This study gave the empirical analysis of the politically-themed stocks in the Republic of Korea and constructed politically-themed stock networks based on the Republic of Korea’s politically-themed stocks, derived mainly from politicians. To select politically-themed stocks, we calculated the daily politician sentiment index (PSI), which means politicians’ daily reputation using politicians’ search volume data and sentiment analysis results from politician-related text data. Additionally, we selected politically-themed stock candidates from politician-related search volume data. To measure causal relationships, we adopted entropy-based measures. We determined politically-themed stocks based on causal relationships from the rates of change of the PSI to their abnormal returns. To illustrate causal relationships between politically-themed stocks, we constructed politically-themed stock networks based on causal relationships using entropy-based approaches. Moreover, we experimented using politically-themed stocks in real-world situations from the schematized networks, focusing on politically-themed stock networks’ dynamic changes. We verified that the investment strategy using the PSI and politically-themed stocks that we selected could benchmark the main stock market indices such as the KOSPI and KOSDAQ around political events.     

基于非线性最小二乘法的多光谱拟合程序：应用于12CH4谱线参数分析

精确的甲烷分子实验光谱参数在大气科学和天文探测等领域有着广泛的应用,特别是谱线的展宽系数及其温度依赖系数对于甲烷分子浓度廓线的研究尤为重要。精密的实验测量是获得准确谱线参数的重要手段。采用实验测量获取谱线参数时,需要在已知实验条件（浓度,温度,总压力,吸收光程以及气体分子种类的混合比等）的情况下,多次扫描同一波段范围得到多组实验室吸收光谱,然后利用基于非线性最小二乘法的拟合程序处理这些光谱,反演获得所需要的光谱参数。然而,一般常用的单光谱拟合程序处理实验光谱既费时又容易引起拟合过程中的误差传递。针对此问题,采用最小二乘拟合技术和Levenberg-Marquardt迭代算法编写了一款适用于处理由可调谐半导体激光吸收光谱技术（TDLAS）所获得的吸收光谱的多光谱拟合程序。该程序可同时处理多张实验光谱,并基于全局拟合方法获得一套光谱参数。详细介绍了该程序的原理、使用方法及数据处理过程。利用多光谱拟合程序中的Voigt线型处理了2 958～2 959 cm-1波数内甲烷（12CH₄）分子6条跃迁谱线的实验光谱,获得了296.0,251.0,223.0,198.0和173.0 K共5组温度下12CH₄分子6条谱线的空气展宽系数。与之前文献报道的该波段内采用单光谱拟合程序得到的相应数据对比结果表明：获得的各温度下的空气展宽系数与参考文献中相应数据差值的百分比处在-4.97%~1.58%之间,两者数据整体符合较好,并且在30组对比数据中,有4组由单光谱拟合程序得到的空气展宽系数的误差值小于由多光谱拟合程序得到的相应数值,有2组数据显示由两种方法获得的误差值相等,其余24组由多光谱拟合程序获得的数据拟合误差小于由单光谱拟合程序获得的相应数值,表明多光谱拟合程序具有良好的可靠性,适用于气体分子吸收光谱的处理。     

Infrared Absorption Study of Some Cyclic Ureas,Cyclic Thioureas and Their N,N′-Dialkyl Derivatives

Abstract

In his communication on the detection limits for thermal emission spectroscopy of metallic species in flame media, Fassel (¹) attacks our previous statement that detection limits for Al, Be and Mo were available only for turbulent oxygen-supported hydrogen or acetylene flames. It should be borne in mind that he was referring to a preliminary communication (²) which naturally does not carry an extensive bibliography. It should also be noted that we were concerned, in context, with a comparison of the separated flame with conventional flames, not with highly unconventional flames such as those to which he refers. Whilst the point with which he takes issue was a very minor one, incorporated in our preliminary communication mainly as an “aside”, we firmly disagree with his observation. The flame he refers to (³) (⁴) is, in fact, a diluted oxy-acetylene flame which is supported by venting some air (and therefore nitrogen) to dilute the fuel-oxygen mixture. Fassel's communication (¹) erroneously refers to this as a 'premixed oxy-acetylene flame', whereas elsewhere (⁵) it is described more correctly as an oxygen-nitrogen-acetylene flame. The burner he long-pathlength carbonaceous flames (¹⁰). They also allow more sensitive molecular emission spectroscopy of sulphur in an air-hydrogen flame (¹¹), etc. We hope that this unfortunate correspondence will not distract attention from the main issue of our previous or previous preliminary communication on the separated nitrous oxide-acetylene flime.     

Electronic Emission from Hg-Atoms and HgCl-Radicals Due to Collisions of Nitrogen Ions and HgCl2/Hg2Cl2 Molecules

Emission spectra of the (B-X), (C-X) and (D-X) band systems of HgCl-radical and mercury atomic lines from highly excited levels to various lower levels have been observed during collisions of N⁺ and N⁺ ₂ ions and HgCl₂/Hg₂Cl₂ molecules at different laboratory kinetic energies of the projectile ions. Emission cross-sections of the most intense mercury atomic lines and the (C-X) band system of the HgCl-radicals, have been measured in the laboratory kinetic energy range of 100–900 eV.     

多层网络级联失效的预防和恢复策略概述

现实生活中,与国计民生密切相关的基础设施网络大多不是独立存在的,而是彼此之间相互联系或依赖的,于是用于研究这些系统的多层网络模型随之产生.多层网络中的节点在失效或者遭受攻击后会因"层内"和"层间"的相互作用而产生级联效应,从而使得失效能够在网络层内和层间反复传播并使得失效规模逐步放大.因此,多层网络比单个网络更加脆弱.多层网络级联失效产生的影响和损失往往是非常巨大的,所以对多层网络级联失效的预防和恢复的研究具有重大意义.就多层网络级联失效的预防而言,主要包含故障检测,保护重要节点,改变网络耦合机制和节点备份等策略.就多层网络发生级联失效后的恢复策略而言,主要包含共同边界节点恢复、空闲连边恢复、加边恢复、重要节点优先恢复、更改拓扑结构、局域攻击修复、自适应边修复等策略.     

氨基酸官能团的太赫兹振动模式研究

对比于氨基酸的红外分析法,太赫兹波的电子能量更低,可实现无损检测。氨基酸分子内原子振动、分子间氢键的作用、以及晶体中晶格的低频振动均处于太赫兹波段,使其在太赫兹波段具有吸收峰,且不同的氨基酸分子太赫兹吸收峰不同,故可用氨基酸在太赫兹波段的这种“指纹特性”实现氨基酸类物质的定性分析。量子化学分析方法可以应用量子力学的基本原理和方法,研究稳定和不稳定分子的结构、性能及其之间的关系,还可以针对分子与分子间的相互作用、相互碰撞及相互反应等问题进行研究。通过量子化学计算方法计算氨基酸分子的太赫兹吸收谱,可以为氨基酸分子的太赫兹吸收峰匹配分子振动模式,对氨基酸定性分析有一定参考性与指向性,并为实验获取的样品太赫兹时域光谱提供理论支撑,在实验获得太赫兹吸收谱的基础上进行量子化学计算,还能为实验结果进行验证。首先利用太赫兹时域光谱技术获取了谷氨酰胺、苏氨酸、组氨酸的太赫兹吸收谱,分别构建这三种氨基酸样品在实物中以两性离子形式存在的单分子构型,利用量子化学计算方法在完成结构优化后进行太赫兹吸收谱模拟计算。计算结果表明三种氨基酸单分子的太赫兹吸收谱计算结果与实验获取的太赫兹吸收谱差异较大,但在高频段吸收峰峰位基本吻合。通过GaussView分别查看了这三种氨基酸分子在太赫兹段内的吸收峰对应频率处的振转情况,发现在高频段内三种氨基酸分子官能团均只发生转动而未见振动,并且转动模式基本一致。通过对氨基酸官能团的太赫兹吸收谱进行量子化学计算,将官能团在高频段内吸收峰对应频率处的振转模式与三种氨基酸分子在该段内吸收峰对应频率处的振转模式做了对比。研究表明,在氨基酸单分子构型下由量子化学方法计算所得的太赫兹吸收谱中,高频段内计算得出的模拟吸收峰与实验获取的太赫兹吸收峰基本吻合;振转模式分析发现,谷氨酰胺、苏氨酸、组氨酸在太赫兹高频段内的氨基酸官能团振转模式相同,三种氨基酸分子在高频段内的吸收峰主要来源于氨基酸官能团。因此,结合量子化学计算与太赫兹吸收谱可以实现氨基酸类物质的定性分析。     

Absorption spectra and magneto-optic figures of merit in the Bi x Sm3-x Fe5-y Ga y O12 system

The absorption (α) and Faraday rotation (θ) spectra of 14 garnets belonging to the series Bi _x Sm_3-x Fe_5-y Ga _y O₁₂ (0<x<1.05, 0.8<y<1.15) have been measured between 15 000 cm⁻¹ and 19 000 cm⁻¹. The figure of merit (θ/α) at 17 850 cm⁻¹ (560 nm) increases linearly with increasing bismuth concentration up tox∼0.6 where it begins to increase less rapidly. For operation of magneto-optic display devices at 17 850 cm⁻¹ there is no advantage in using garnets in this series withx>0.8. The Faraday rotation at 17 850 cm⁻¹ increases linearly with bismuth concentration whereas the absorption coefficient increases more rapidly. The presence of Bi³⁺ increases the intensity of all Fe³⁺ pair transitions in the garnet system as a result of the increased superexchange induced by Bi³⁺. This is in keeping with the observation that the intensity of the⁶A_1g (S)→⁴T_1g (G) transition in (RE)₃Fe₅O₁₂ (RE=Er, Y, Dy, Gd, Eu) increases on traversing the above RE series as do the Curie temperatures of these iron garnets.     

LiNbO3∶Cr∶Cu晶体吸收特性及非挥发全息存储研究

研究了LiNbO3∶Cr∶Cu晶体的吸收特性,发现LiNbO3∶Cr∶Cu（含0.14 wt.% Cr2O3 和 0.011 wt.% CuO）晶体存在两个明显的吸收峰,中心波长分别位于480 nm和660 nm; 随着Cr的含量逐渐减小,Cu的含量逐渐增大,短波段不存在明显吸收峰,掺Cr的含量越大,中心波长在660 nm处的吸收越大；633 nm红光虽然位于中心波长为660 nm的吸收峰内,但它无助于光折变过程.分别采用390 nm紫外光和488 nm蓝光作为敏化光,514 nm绿光作为记录光的记录方案,实现了非挥发全息记录,掺入适量的Cr( 比如NCr=2.795×1025 m－3,NCr/ NCu=1)有助于全息记录性能的提高.
