[ Method] The extraction conditions for Auricularia auricular polysaccharides were optimized by orthogonal test, and its physiochemical characteristics and antagonistic activities on bacteria and molds were tested. I-Result] The optimized condition was with sample to liquid ratio of 1 : 50, temperature of 90 ℃ and extraction time of 2.5 h. Under the optimized condition, the yield of pelysaccharide was 7.3%, with polysaccharide content of 77.81%. Containing aldose and amylase, the polysaccharides of Auncu/aria auricular was soluble in water. The inhibitory effect on bacteria was significantly stronger than on molds that the minimum diameter of inhibition zone for bacteria is 12.7 mm, while 7.9 mm for the molds. [ Conclusion] This study provides scientific basis for the development and utilization of Auricularia auricular polysaccharides.展开更多

However, the groin structure and its associated flow characteristics are the main causes of local erosion. In this study, we investigate the flow patterns around refractive and right-angle groins. In particular, we analytically compare the flow characteristics around a refractive groin and study the degree of accuracy that can be achieved by using a right-angle groin of various projected lengths. To compare the flow characteristics, we replaced the right-angle groin with an approximation of a refractive groin. This replacement had the least effect on the maximum velocity of flow in the channel. Moreover, we investigated the distribution of the density variables of temperature and salinity, and their effects on the flow characteristics around the right-angle groin. A comparison of the flow analysis results in baroclinic and barotropic conditions reveals that the flow characteristic values are very similar for both the refractive and right-angle groins. The geometry of the groin, i.e., right-angle or refractive, has little effect on the maximum speed to relative average speed. Apart from the angular separation, the arm length of the groin in downstream refractive groins has less effect on other flow characteristics than do upstream refractive groins. We also correlated a number of non-dimensional variables with respect to various flow characteristics and groin geometry. These comparisons indicate that the correlation between the thalweg height and width of the channel and groin arm's length to projection length have been approximated using linear and nonlinear formulas regardless of inner velocity in the subcritical flow.展开更多

By using the transfer matrix method, we presented an analytical solution that satisfies all the arbitrary boundary conditions at boundary edges, as well as on upper and bottom surfaces. Our solution takes into account all the independent elastic and piezoelectric constants for a piezoelectric orthotropy, and satisfies continuity conditions between plies of the laminates. The principle of the present method and corresponding results can be widely used in many engineering fields and be applied to assess the effectiveness of various approximate and numerical models.展开更多

The problem of an orthotropic elastic strip is reduced to a system of Cauchy type singular integral equations. The system of singular integral equations is approached by a Quadrature technique. Under two different loading conditions, the results are obtained for the different cases of crack numbers. The resistance of the strip is examined by considering the orthotropic properties of the strip material. Finally, the crack interactions are clarified during the analysis.展开更多

(LF)-spaces satisfying Retakh's condition (M0) are convex weakly (sequentially) compactly regular but need not be weakly (sequentially) compactly regular. For countable inductive limits of weakly sequentially complete Frechet spaces, Retakh's condition (M0) implies weakly (sequentially) compact regularity. Particularly for Kothe (LF)-sequence spaces Ep(1 ≤ p < ∞), Retakh's condition (M0) is equivalent to weakly (sequentially) compact regularity. For those spaces, the characterizations of weakly (sequentially) compact regularity are given by using the related results of Vogt.展开更多

Their influence on the finite element interpolation error and the consistency error committed by nonconforming finite elements are investigated. The effect of the Bi-Section Condition and its extended version (1+α)-Section Condition on the degenerate mesh conditions is also checked. The necessity of the Bi-Section Condition in finite elements is underpinned by means of counterexamples.展开更多

Due to the unobservable property of the latent variable, a corrected likelihood method is employed for parametric estimation. Estimators are proved to be consistent and asymptotically normal under certain regularity conditions. A simple test statistic is also proposed for testing latent variable effect. Simulation results confirm that the proposed estimators and test perform well.The model is further applied to examine whether the risk-return relationship depends on investor's sentiment in American Market and some explainable results are obtained.展开更多

Neither the grid pattern nor the number of nodes is fixed, being adjustable according to convergence need. The C~ continuity conditions char- acterizing the thin plate theory are discussed and the robustness of the weak form quadrature element for thin plates against shape distortion is examined. Examples are presented and comparisons with analytical solutions and the results of the finite element method are made to demonstrate the convergence and computational efficiency of the weak form quadrature element method. It is shown that the present formulation is applicable to thin plates with varying thickness as well as uniform plates.展开更多

The Lax pairs are obtained by analysing two Painlevé branches of this equation.Starting with the Lax pair, the N-times Darboux transformation is constructed and the N-soliton solution formula is given, which contains 2n free parameters and two arbitrary functions. Furthermore, with different combinations of the parameters, several types of soliton solutions are calculated from the first order to the third order. The regularity conditions are discussed in order to avoid the singularity of the solutions. Moreover, we construct the generalized Darboux transformation matrix by considering a special limiting process and find a rational-type solution for this equation.展开更多

To be the best of our knowledge, traditional methods are often either computationally intensive or inaccurate for statistical inference. Ramsay et al.(2007) proposed a generalized profiling procedure. It is easily implementable and has been demonstrated to have encouraging numerical performance. However, little is known about statistical properties of this procedure. In this paper, we provide a theoretical justification of the generalized profiling procedure. Under some regularity conditions, the procedure is shown to be consistent for a broad range of tuning parameters. When the tuning parameters are sufficiently large, the procedure can be further shown to be asymptotically normal and efficient.展开更多

We also calculate the entropies of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole and find the GUP we choose qualitatively shows that the requirement of mass in this method is the same as the natural requirement of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole,which means the method might be self-consistent.展开更多
