硅杂环丁烷在有机硅化学中是一类非常重要的小分子环系化合物。由于硅杂环丁烷和环丁烷的环张力相似,因而显示出较高的反应活性。例如能与某些试剂作用,生成开环产物;在光解或热解条件下,产生具有Si=C结构的高活性中间体,可用以合成多种有机硅化合物。     

Simulation of aerated lagoon using artificial neural networks and multivariate regression techniques

The aim of this study was to develop an empirical model that provides accurate predictions of the biochemical oxygen demand of the output stream from the aerated lagoon at International Paper of Brazil, one of the major pulp and paper plants in Brazil. Predictive models were calculated from functional link neural networks (FLNNs), multiple linear regression, principal components regression, and partial least-squares regression (PLSR). Improvement in FLNN modeling capability was observed when the data were preprocessed using the PLSR technique. PLSR also proved to be a powerful linear regression technique for this problem, which presents operational data limitations.     

Geometric critical exponent inequalities for general random cluster models

A set of new critical exponent inequalities,d(1 –1 /)2 –, dv(1 – 1/), andd> 1, is proved for a general class of random cluster models, which includes (independent or dependent) percolations, lattice animals (with any interactions), and various stochastic cluster growth models. The inequalities imply that the critical phenomena in the models are inevitably not mean-field-like in the dimensions one, two, and three.The present work was reported at the 56th Statistical Mechanics Meeting (Rutgers, December 1986).     

On the existence of thermodynamics for the generalized random energy model

Derrida's generalized random energy model is considered. Almost sure andL ^p convergence of the free energy at any inverse temperature are proven for an arbitrary numbern of hierarchical levels. The explicit form of the free energy is given in the most general case and the limitn is discussed.     

Lifschitz singularities for periodic operators plus random potentials

UsingX-bounding (lower bounds by Laplacians with mixed boundary conditions and discrete analogs), we obtain the Lifschitz exponent at the bottom of the spectrum for random operators of typeH =T+V , withT a (periodic) generator of a positivity-preserving semigroup, extending results by Kirsch and Simon.     

Selection of the number of regression variables; A minimax choice of generalized FPE

Summary A generalized Final Prediction Error (FPE_α)_ criterion is considered. Based onn observations, the numberk of regression variables is selected from a given range 0≦k≦K, so as to minimize . It is shown that if α tends to infinity withn, the selection is consistent but the maximum of the mean squared error of estimates of parameters diverges to infinity with the same order of divergence as that of α. A meaningful minimax choice of α exists for a regret type mean squared error, while for simple mean squared error it is trivially 0. The minimax regret choice of α converges to a constant, approximately 3.5 forK≧8 ifn−K increases simultaneously withn, otherwise it diverges to infinity withn.     

Three-dimensional structural features and the toxicity of aminobenzenes and phenols

There are many organic pollutants in the environment, such as polychlorinated biphenyl, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), and polychlorinated naphthalene. These organic pollutants are persistent,liposoluble and easily cumulated in organism; consequently, the potential toxicity will be high. Risk assessment of industrial chemicals is currently carried out using scanty experimental data, because many of these chemicals have very little or no test data. S…     

Spectral regions selection to improve prediction ability of PLS models by changeable size moving window partial least squares and searching combination moving window partial least squares

Changeable size moving window partial least squares (CSMWPLS) and searching combination moving window partial least squares (SCMWPLS) are proposed to search for an optimized spectral interval and an optimized combination of spectral regions from informative regions obtained by a previously proposed spectral interval selection method, moving window partial least squares (MWPLSR) [Anal. Chem. 74 (2002) 3555]. The utilization of informative regions aims to construct better PLS models than those based on the whole spectral points. The purpose of CSMWPLS and SCMWPLS is to optimize the informative regions and their combination to further improve the prediction ability of the PLS models. The results of their application to an open-path (OP)/FT-IR spectra data set show that the proposed methods, especially SCMWPLS can find out an optimized combination, with which one can improve, often significantly, the performance of the corresponding PLS model, in terms of low prediction error, root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) with the reasonable latent variable (LVs) number, comparing with the results obtained using whole spectra or direct combination of informative regions for a compound. Regions consisting of the combinations obtained can easily be explained by the existence of IR absorption bands in those spectral regions.
