Orthogonal multiple click reactions in synthetic polymer chemistry

This review highlights the concept of multiple click reaction strategy which is utilized for design and synthesis of well‐defined complex macromolecular structures as well as multifunctionalization of well‐defined polymers. This review examines the click combinations mainly from double to quadruple and additionally from the most frequently used to the least. The present review may also be regarded as an update for recent reviews dealing with specifically double and triple click reaction combinations in synthetic polymer chemistry. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A dual‐weighted trust‐region adaptive POD 4‐D Var applied to a finite‐volume shallow water equations model on the sphere

In this paper we study solutions of an inverse problem for a global shallow water model controlling its initial conditions specified from the 40‐yr ECMWF Re‐analysis (ERA‐40) data sets, in the presence of full or incomplete observations being assimilated in a time interval (window of assimilation) with or without background error covariance terms. As an extension of the work by Chen et al. (Int. J. Numer. Meth. Fluids 2009), we attempt to obtain a reduced order model of the above inverse problem, based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), referred to as POD 4D‐Var for a finite volume global shallow water equation model based on the Lin–Rood flux‐form semi‐Lagrangian semi‐implicit time integration scheme. Different approaches of POD implementation for the reduced inverse problem are compared, including a dual‐weighted method for snapshot selection coupled with a trust‐region POD adaptivity approach. Numerical results with various observational densities and background error covariance operator are also presented. The POD 4‐D Var model results combined with the trust‐region adaptivity exhibit similarity in terms of various error metrics to the full 4D Var results, but are obtained using a significantly lesser number of minimization iterations and require lesser CPU time. Based on our previous and current work, we conclude that POD 4‐D Var certainly warrants further studies, with promising potential of its extension to operational 3‐D numerical weather prediction models.

基于Richardson外推法提出了一种求解Schrdinger方程的高阶紧致差分方法.该方法首先利用二阶微商的四阶精度紧致差分逼近公式对原方程进行求解,然后利用Richardson外推技术外推一次,得到了Schrdinger方程具有O(r~4+h~4)精度的数值解.通过Fourier分析方法证明了该格式是无条件稳定的.数值实验验证了该方法的高阶精度及有效性.     

Computer Assisted Spectrophotometric Analysis of Three Component Mixtures (Caffeine Mixtures and Codeine Mixtures)

Abstract

Two mixtures (caffeine mixture (I) and codeine mixture (II)) of 3-components, containing acetaminophen and salicylamide as majors, have been assayed using different computer-assisted spectrophotometric methods. These methods are the Unique Absorbance Method (UAM), the Unique Orthogonal Function Method (UOFM), and Unique Fourier Function Method (UFFM), and also their correspondences under the least squares approach. The parameters have been optimized for the accurate determination of the minor component caffeine in mixture (I). In mixture (II), however. codeine has been extracted - in two steps-prior to the correction of interferences from the major components acetaminophen and salicylamide.     

PBL节点初始平动刚度计算及设计参数优化

为研究钢桁腹混凝土组合箱梁中PBL(Perfobond Leiste)节点的初始平动刚度及其影响因素,首先基于组件法,运用卡氏第二定理推导出考虑了开孔钢板与混凝土间的界面剪切力和混凝土榫贡献的PBL节点的初始平动刚度表达式,其次以某工程实例为背景,结合有限元模型验证所推公式的合理性;在此基础上分析了混凝土强度、腹杆直径、腹杆壁厚、开孔钢板开孔孔径和开孔钢板厚度等构造参数对初始平动刚度的影响,并利用正交分析法对以上5个参数进行优化组合。研究结果表明,本文方法计算的PBL节点初始平动刚度结果与有限元计算结果间的误差在8.0%以内;相较运用解三角形计算腹杆平动位移的方法,采用卡氏第二定理不仅可以简化计算,还可以减小解三角形过程中因多次计算变形带来的误差累积;腹杆刚度对PBL节点整体平动刚度的贡献最大,可达到82.5%;保持原设中的混凝土强度不变,将腹杆直径增加20 mm,将钢腹杆壁厚增加4 mm,将开孔钢板开孔孔径增加4 mm,将开孔钢板厚度增加4 mm,可以将PBL节点理论初始平动刚度提高约25.7%。     

影响无网格方法求解精度的因素分析

基于移动最小二乘法的无网格方法的计算精度除受到节点的分布密度和基底函数的阶次影响外，还受到其它因素的影响，其中权函数的选取、权函数影响域的大小及位移边界条件的引入对计算精度影响较大。本文分析了几种常用权函数在数值计算时的特点，包括计算精度、收敛情况、计算效率等，同时分析了影响域大小及边界条件的引入对计算精度的影响。通过分析给出了确定权函数及其影响域大小的方法。当受约束的自由度较多时，通过配点法引入位移边界条件会引起计算结果的振荡，通过施加稳定项可以消除振荡现象，通过对带孔方板的受力分析证明了其可行性。应用以上结论对J23—10曲柄压力机机身进行了受力分析，应力集中部位的计算结果得到了较高的精度。

A REGULAR VALUE OF COMPACT DEFORMATION

Sufficient conditions were given to assert that between any two Banach spaces over K, Fredholm mappings share at least one value in a specific open ball. The proof of the result is constructive and based upon continuation methods.     

A Three‐Factor Product Construction for Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares

It is well known that mutually orthogonal latin squares, or MOLS, admit a (Kronecker) product construction. We show that, under mild conditions, “triple products” of MOLS can result in a gain of one square. In terms of transversal designs, the technique is to use a construction of Rolf Rees twice: once to obtain a coarse resolution of the blocks after one product, and next to reorganize classes and resolve the blocks of the second product. As consequences, we report a few improvements to the MOLS table and obtain a slight strengthening of the famous theorem of MacNeish.     

Zero sets of bivariate Hermite polynomials

We establish various properties for the zero sets of three families of bivariate Hermite polynomials. Special emphasis is given to those bivariate orthogonal polynomials introduced by Hermite by means of a Rodrigues type formula related to a general positive definite quadratic form. For this family we prove that the zero set of the polynomial of total degree n+m$n+m$ consists of exactly n+m$n+m$ disjoint branches and possesses n+m$n+m$ asymptotes. A natural extension of the notion of interlacing is introduced and it is proved that the zero sets of the family under discussion obey this property. The results show that the properties of the zero sets, considered as affine algebraic curves in R²${\mathbb{R}}^2$, are completely different for the three families analyzed.
