Supramolecular chemistry

The article discusses molecular recognition and overviews the key concepts -storage and retrieval of chemical information by molecular structures, supramolecular reagents and catalysts, molecular transport, semiochemistry and self assembly. The prospects of controlling supramolecular architecture through engineered molecular recognition and design of ‘programmed systems’ controlled by molecular information are also discussed.     

Climbing Mount Scalable: Physical Resource Requirements for a Scalable Quantum Computer

The primary resource for quantum computation is Hilbert-space dimension. Whereas Hilbert space itself is an abstract construction, the number of dimensions available to a system is a physical quantity that requires physical resources. Avoiding a demand for an exponential amount of these resources places a fundamental constraint on the systems that are suitable for scalable quantum computation. To be scalable, the effective number of degrees of freedom in the computer must grow nearly linearly with the number of qubits in an equivalent qubit-based quantum computer.     

2D Ising Model with Layers of Quenched Spins

The model considered is a d=2 disordered Ising system on a square lattice with nearest neighbor interaction. The disorder is induced by layers (rows) of spins, randomly located, which are frozen in an antiferromagnetic order. It is assumed that all the vertical couplings take the same positive value J _v, while all the horizontal couplings take the same positive value J _h. The model can be exactly solved and the free energy is given as a simple explicit expression. The zero-temperature entropy can be positive because of the frustration due to the competition between antiferromagnetic alignment induced by the quenched layers and ferromagnetic alignment due to the positive couplings. No phase transition is found at finite temperature if the layers of frozen spins are independently distributed, while for correlated disorder one finds a low-temperature phase with some glassy properties.

关于图的直径和平均距离

图的直径和平均距离是度量网络有效性的两个重要参数．Ore通过图的顶点数和直径给出无向图的最大边数．Entringer，Jakson，Slater和Ng，Teh通过图的顶点数和边数分别给出无向图和有向图平均距离的下界．该文提供这两个结果的简单证明，给出有向图类似Ore的结果，并通过图的直径改进Entringer等人的结果到更一般的情形．结合本文和Ore的结果，可以得到一个无向图和有向图平均距离的下界，它比Plesnik得到的下界更好．     

在有限执行假设下对最优契约的扩展模型研究

本文运用违约保证金条款改进了代理人事前报酬契约；在契约有限执行的假设下，扩展了代理人的逆向选择模型，并运用扩展逆向选择模型分析了改进后的最优报酬契约。文章指出，改进后的最优报酬契约严格优于委托人为防范代理人违约而被迫采用的非负参与性约束条件下的最优报酬契约。     

Optimizing in the class of Fuller modified limited information maximum likelihood estimators

A general class of Fuller modified maximum likelihood estimators are considered. It is shown that this class possesses finite moments. Asymptotic bias and asymptotic mean squared error are derived using small-σ expansions. A simulation study is carried out to compare different estimators in this class with standard estimators.     

因素空间与概念内涵的表示

本文综合应用因素空间、信息系统和重于关系的方法,讨论了概念的内涵表示及其他有关问题。特别是,对在描述概念问题中不同于内涵和外延的第三种方法,即典型示范表示做了进一步的分析。     

储蓄——收入模型的转变点分析

本文利用线性回归模型分析改革开放以来我国居民储蓄与收入的关系 ,并引入转变点理论研究二者关系发生结构性转变的问题 ,最后讨论了影响储蓄增长的几个因素 .实证研究表明 ,90年代以来 ,随着经济环境的巨大变化 ,居民储蓄与收入的关系有所改变 ,储蓄的增长速度已经超过了收入的增长速度 .我们的研究还表明 ,当用时间跨度较大的样本时 ,结论虽符合长期趋势 ,但考虑到其可信度及从时效性角度看对近期宏观政策的现实指导意义 ,常规的回归分析应该加入转变点检验 ,以防忽略系统结构性转变 .
