Empirical Bayes Absolute Error Loss Estimation for Parameter of One-Side Truncation Distribution Families

In this paper we propose an absolute error loss EB estimator for parameter of one-side truncation distribution families. Under some conditions we have proved that the convergence rates of its Bayes risk is o, where 0<λ,r≤1,Mn≤lnln n (for large n),Mn→∞ as n→∞.

Dual Quaternions and Dual Quaternion Vectors

We introduce a total order and an absolute value function for dual numbers.The absolute value function of dual numbers takes dual number values,and has properties similar to those of the absolute value function of real numbers.We define the magnitude of a dual quaternion,as a dual number.Based upon these,we extend 1-norm,co-norm,and 2-norm to dual quaternion vectors.

Weighted ebyev-Ostrowski type inequalities

In account of the famous Cebysev inequality, a rich theory has appeared in the literature. We establish some new weighted Cebysev type integral inequalities. Our proofs are of independent interest and provide new estimates on these types of inequalities.

On the (<i>r</i>,<i>φ</i>,<i>ψ</i>)-Suzuki Contraction for the Multi-Valued Mappings

In this work we try to give a new contraction type in multi-valued mapping on complete metric spaces. We prove the existence of fixed point for (r,φ,ψ)-Suzuki contraction in such spaces. Around our paper, the function ψ is absolutely continuous, and in this case, the contraction proposed by as has a fixed point.

Absolute configuration of Buagafuran:An experimental and theoretical electronic circular dichroism study

Buagafuran is a novel drug candidate derived from natural product.Its absolute configuration has been confirmed by electronic circular dichroism combined with modern quantum-chemical calculation using time-dependent density functional theory.The predicted UV absorbance peak is underestimated by several nanometers compared with the experimental data.The applicability of empirical rule for the C=C-C-O system in Buagafuran has also been discussed.Our results show that electronic circular dichroism could be a useful tool for the absolute configuration assignment of chiral drugs,especially for the oily or semisolid substances,whose crystal structures are impossible to obtain.

Chiroptical properties of artemisinin and artemether investigated using time-dependent density functional theory

Chiroptical properties including electronic circular dichroism（ECD） and optical rotatory dispersion（ORD） of artemisinin and artemether have been fully studied using quantum-chemical calculation based on time-dependent density functional theory.Both theoretical ECD and ORD of these two compounds were in good match with the experimental data.ECD spectrum of artemether could be totally attributed to the peroxide group,and that of artemisinin was an overlay of contribution from δ-lactone and peroxide moieties,which leading to a positive maximum at 260 nm.Our results showed that peroxide group could produce a broad ECD band in the far-UV region originated from electron transitions of HOMO →LUMO,HOMO-1 →LUMO and HOMO-2 →LUMO in the case of artemether.This work provided a theoretical interpretation of the ECD behavior of peroxide bond.
