Antioxidant effects of gallic acid alkyl esters of various chain lengths in oyster during frying process

The antioxidant effects of gallic acid (GA) and its alkyl esters including methyl gallate, ethyl gallate, propyl gallate, butyl gallate (GA-C4), octyl gallate, lauryl gallate, hexadecyl gallate and octadecyl gallate in frying oil (soybean oil) and oyster during frying were investigated. Rancimat induction period (RIP) assay indicated GA and its alkyl esters effectively improved the oxidative stability of soybean oil according to the ‘polar paradox’; that is, the antioxidant effects of the polyphenols decreased in lipid system with the increasing of hydrophobicity. Results also indicated that GA and its alkyl esters all effectively retarded lipid oxidation in oyster tissue according to parameters including RIP, peroxide value and electron spin resonance assays. Moreover, the antioxidant efficiency in oyster increased with the alkyl chain length until GA-C4, and thereafter, the antioxidant effects decreased, similar to the ‘cut-off effect’. This study provides basic data for improving the oxidative stability of seafood during frying.

Biexcitons generation in a polymer by a femtosecond electric pump pulse

By applying a femtosecond electric pump pulse to a polymer, biexcitons are obtained and the relation between its yield and the photoexciting process is also presented. The simulations are performed within the framework of an extended version of one-dimensional Su–Schrieffer–Heeger tight-binding model combined with a nonadiabatic evolution method. In the discussions, effects of both the photoexciting energy and intensity are considered. The main result is that the yield ratio of biexcitons and excitons increases rapidly with the photoexciting intensity, and there exists a critical photoexciting intensity, beyond which the yield efficiency of biexcitons is even higher than that of excitons. The result theoretically verifies that, by increasing the photoexciting intensity, we can obtain biexcitons efficiently, which is consistent with the experimental speculation.     

Optimal Control of Finite‐Valued Networks

Control of finite‐valued networks, including Boolean networks, is currently a hot topic. In this paper the optimization of the networks with time‐discounted performance criterion is discussed. The problem is formulated as a finite strategy game between human and machine. It is first proved that the optimal strategy can be found in the set of essentially periodic strategies, which makes the problem finitely computable, though the computational complexity of exhaustion might be a severe problem. Then an efficient numerical method is develossped to solve the problem. Some interesting examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of our results.     

含偶氮基团的弯曲型分子的光谱特性研究

偶氮连接基团(—NN—)有着特殊的热化学和光化学行为,在适当波长光的照射下,能发生可逆的顺反异构反应,从而发生吸收波长的变化。在分子设计、光定位、光致变色和热致变色等方面,偶氮连接基团的非线性光化学性质都有着潜在的应用价值。文章以含有偶氮基作为侧翼的弯曲型分子作为研究对象,比较了弯曲型和直线型分子的吸收光谱;并用计算机模拟计算了弯曲型分子的角度,发现分子弯曲角和紫外可见吸收光谱存在着密切的关系。     

Performance optimization algorithms based on potentials for semi-Markov control processes

Optimization algorithms are studied for a class of semi-Markov control processes (SMCPs) with compact action set. Both the long-run average and discounted cost problems are considered. Formulas of performance potentials and optimality equations for SMCPs are derived. A policy iteration algorithm and a value iteration algorithm are proposed, which can lead to an optimal or suboptimal stationary policy in a finite number of iterations. The convergence of these algorithms is established, without the assumption of the corresponding iteration operator being a span-contraction. In addition, an online policy iteration optimization algorithm based on a single sample path is provided to escape ‘curse of dimensionality’. In the end, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the application of the algorithms.     

Crystal growth and characterization of Ho-doped Lu3Ga5O12 for 2 μm laser

Ho:LuGG single crystal was successfully grown by the Czochralski growth method, and its lattice parameter was found to be 12.2371 Å. Its thermal conductivity was measured to be 5.29 W mK⁻¹ at 300 K. Meanwhile, transmission spectra were recorded at room temperature, and then its absorption spectra were obtained combining with the transmission spectra of LuGG crystal. The transition intensity parameters Ω_t (t = 2, 4, 6), the oscillator strengths, fluorescence branching ratios, transition probabilities and the lifetimes of Ho³⁺ in LuGG crystal were all evaluated by the Judd–Ofelt theory. Furthermore, its emission spectra were also determined and analyzed.
