Competitive strategic alliance is not only in the strategic choice of the existence of a potential to create value, but also the existence of synergy. Competition and cooperation between the two conflicting complex logic relations coexist in the competitive strategic alliances (CSA). Therefore maintaining the relative stability of alliance is the premise and necessary condition of alliance to success. In this paper, on the basis of the literature review, we discuss the significance and principles of improving CSA's stability; in the way of case analysis and expert interviews construct the hierarchy analysis model of improving CSA's stability; and then further put forward a series of measures which can maintain the CSA's stability, such as strengthen the ability of technological innovation, protection and development of the core ability of the enterprise, to develop a coherent strategy alliance target, choose a suitable alliance partner, coordinate the corporate culture between partners, establish alliance risk prevention mechanism, and so on. It will provide theoretical support and practical guidance to relevant departments and relevant personnel in policy decision-making and problem-solving展开更多

By analyzing the characteristic equation of the linearized system, the local asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is investigated. Moreover, we discover the delays don't effect the stability of the equilibrium in the delay system. Finally, we can conclude that the positive equilibrium is global asymptotically stable in the delay system.展开更多

In economic articles, we see more attention to the dynamics of monopolistic competition and power companies, but it is less used the study of the sales dynamics of the sector and the curves that represent it. The proposed model uses as data the total number of subscribers to mobile phone lines to generate the logistic curves of each company and the total market, in search of main points singularities and stability conditions as predictors of the extinction of technologies and the shot-down of companies in the sector.展开更多

The existence of a unique equilibrium point is proved by using Brouwer's fixed point theorem. By finding suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some sufficient conditions are derived ensuring some kinds of stability. Finally, several examples and their simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.展开更多

The former assumes that free energy minimum is the exclusive dominant mechanism in most cases, while the latter shows that some proteins have even lower free energy in inter- mediate states and their native states are kinetically trapped in the higher free energy region. This article explores the stability condition of protein structures on the basis of our study of complex chemical systems. We believe that sep- arating one from another is not reasonable since they should be coupled, and protein structures should be dom- inated by at least two mechanisms resulting in different characteristic states. It is concluded that: (1) Structures of proteins are dynamic, showing multiple characteristic states emerging alternately and each dominated by a respective mechanism. (2) Compromise in competition of multiple dominant mechanisms might be the key to understanding the stability of protein structures. (3) The dynamic process of protein folding should be depicted through the time series of both its energetic and structural changes, which is much meaningful and applicable than the free energy landscape.展开更多

For non-delay system, global stability, Turing instability and Hopf bifurcation are studied. For delay system, instability and Hopf bifurcation induced by time delay and global stability of boundary equilibrium are discussed. By the theory of normal form and center manifold method, the conditions for determining the bifurcation direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solution are derived.展开更多

NHC was found as a key catalytic species in thiamine diphosphate catalyzed biochemical reactions [1]. However, due to their inherent chemical instability, free NHCs had not been isolated until 1991 by Ardungo et al. [2]. Since then, the use of chiral NHC as a versatile organocatalyst has enjoyed tremendous advances and has helped to transform modem synthetic chemistry. There are over 2000 research papers dealing with both "N-heterocyclic carbene" and "Catalysis" in the past 15 years [3].展开更多
