Photoelectric conversion of photosynthetic reaction center in multilayered films fabricated by layer-by-layer assembly

Multilayered protein films which contained ordered layers of photosynthetic reaction center (RC) from Rhodobacter Sphaeroides (RS601) were assembled by means of alternate electrostatic adsorption with positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). The assembly of RC was monitored by spectrometry and photocurrent measurement. Linear film growth was observed up to about 20 cycles of adsorption. For the monolayer film, the photocurrent was about 8.5 nA cm⁻². For the multilayered film, the total photocurrent was about 77 nA cm⁻² for the 24-layer RC film, while the average photocurrent increment per adsorption cycle was about 3.2 nA cm⁻². The overall light-to-electricity conversion efficiency for a 24-layer film was about eight times higher than that for the monolayer one. The effects of electrode potential and pH on the photocurrent were also measured to illustrate the light-to-electric converting mechanism.     

基于机器学习特性的数据中心能耗优化方法

随着互联网的发展,各种类型的数据呈爆炸式增长.通过机器学习的方法对大量数据进行实时或离线的分析,获取规律性信息,已成为各行业提升决策准确性的重要途径.因此,这些机器学习算法成为各个数据中心运行的主要应用.然而,随着数据规模的增大和数据中心面临的能耗问题的突出,如何实现这些算法的低功耗处理,已成为实现绿色数据中心亟待解决的关键问题之一.为了实现对这些机器算法的绿色计算,首先对运行在数据中心中的关键算法进行了深入的分析,并观察到在这些算法中存在大量的冗余计算.在此基础上,设计和实现了一种面向数据中心典型应用的低功耗调度策略.该算法通过对不同计算部分的输入数据进行匹配来判断计算过程中的冗余部分,并对算法进行调度.实验数据显示,对于数据中心的两种典型应用k-means和PageRank,该算法可以实现23%和17%的能耗节约.     

Retaining and attracting users in social networking services: An empirical investigation of cyber migration

Users are the most critical strategic resource of any online social networking service (SNS). This paper offers strategic recommendations for SNS providers based on an empirical study exploring why users switch from a primary SNS to others. We first identify important characteristics that combine to distinguish SNSs from conventional information systems, then develop a “cyber migration” research model that includes push, pull and mooring factors which influence user intention to switch from one SNS to another. Findings from a field survey of 180 users reveal four significant factors that promote switching: dissatisfaction with socialization support, dissatisfaction with entertainment value, continuity cost, and peer influence. Strategies grounded in these factors are suggested for SNS providers to better attract and retain users.     

基于中位数的用户信誉度排名算法

针对推荐系统易受Spammer攻击的影响,从而导致对象的实际得分不准确的问题,提出基于中位数的用户信誉度排名算法。通过衡量用户信誉度调整用户打分权重,根据中位数具有不易受极端打分影响的特性,选取用户打分与对象得分差距的中位数作为降低用户信誉度的标准,不断迭代调整用户信誉度以及最终得分直至收敛。在多个真实数据集上的运行结果证明,相比现有排名算法,该算法具有更合理的信誉度分布和更高的排名结果准确度,通过该算法预处理后的数据集在SVD++上运行可以得到更低的均方根误差。     

基于C-V模型和MRF的脑部MRI分割

为准确分割脑部磁共振图像(MRI)的灰质、白质和背景,提出一种基于C-V模型和马尔可夫随机场的全自动分割方法。采用C-V模型与形态学相结合的方法对脑MRI进行预处理,去除多余脑组织,获得待分割图像。引入灰度场局部熵的思想对惩罚因子进行估计,利用马尔可夫随机场模型建模实现脑灰白质的分割,并运用形态学方法获得最终分割结果。对96幅IBSR图像和46幅临床图像进行实验,结果表明,该方法能够实现脑部MRI灰白质的全自动分割,且具有较好的分割精度和较快的处理速度。     

服务贸易和货物贸易协同发展研究

在过去的30年,中国进出口货物贸易快速发展,而服务贸易的发展速度相对较慢。这样的发展比例是否合理,货物贸易和服务贸易之间是否存在协同关系?本研究通过对1982年以来我国服务贸易额和货物贸易额的检验分析,发现我国的货物贸易出口贸易额和服务贸易出口额呈长期均衡的正相关关系。我国的出口货物贸易主要是受进口货物贸易和出口运输服务、出口咨询服务业的影响,我国的出口货物贸易和服务贸易之间存在协同关系。

Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by benzophenone/aromatic tertiary amines

Summary The photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by benzophenone-tertiary aromatic amines was studied under irradiation at 365 nm. The initiating amino radicals were investigated with combined ESR and spin-trapping method. The rate of polymerization for different amines was found in the sequence of p-hydroxymethyl-N,N-dimethylaniline>N,N-dimmethyltoluidine>N,N-dimethylaniline>p-methyl-N,N-dihydroxyethylaniline. The influence of diphenylmethanol on the polymerization reveals the incapacity of the benzophenone ketyl radical to initiate, while the amino end-group was detected in the polymers. This end-group can interact with benzophenone again, leading to initiate further polymerization to give a copolymer.     

丙烯酸酯聚氨酯/SiO2纳米复合涂层结构与形态对其耐刮伤性影响研究

以四乙氧基硅烷(TEOS)作为主要前驱体,通过改变溶胶-凝胶工艺参数制得了结构和形态各异的丙烯酸酯聚氨酯/SiO2纳米复合涂层,利用TEM、SAXS等手段表征涂层的结构与形态,由洗刷前后涂层的失光率来表征耐刮伤性,详细探讨了纳米复合涂层耐刮伤性与SiO2相特征、有机无机相作用力及SiO2质量分数之间的关系。研究表明:丙烯酸酯聚氨酯涂层中引入纳米SiO2相后,耐刮伤性明显提高。有机相与SiO2相之间的作用力是影响涂层耐刮伤性的最重要因素,作用力越强,耐刮伤性越好。网络状纳米SiO2与颗粒状纳米SiO2相比,更有利于耐刮伤性的提高,且网络状纳米SiO2质量分数越大,耐刮伤性越佳,但SiO2相的致密度和尺寸对耐刮伤性影响较小。对于颗粒状胶体SiO2,在15~160 nm范围内,粒径对耐刮伤性没有明显影响;随着胶体SiO2粒子的质量分数增加,耐刮伤性先增大后减小。     

Synthesis and surface characterization of poly(methyl methacrylate)‐block‐polydimethylsiloxane copolymers from macroazoinitiator

Poly(methyl methyacrylate)‐block‐polydimethylsiloxane (PMMA‐b‐PDMS) copolymers with various compositions were synthesized with PDMS‐containing macroazoinitiator (MAI), which was first prepared by a facile one‐step method in our lab. Results from the characterizations of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle measurements, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the copolymer films took on a gradient of composition and more PDMS segments enriched at the film surfaces, which then resulted in the low surface free energy and little microphase separation at the film surfaces. By contrast, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis demonstrated that distinct microphase separation occurred in bulk. Slight crosslinking of the block copolymers led to much steady morphology and more distinct microphase separation, in particularly for copolymers with low content of PDMS. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
