Analysis of a homologous series of non-reducing oligosaccharides from Arnica montana L. Roots

The oligosaccharide component compositions of a series of non-reducing oligosaccharides extracted from the roots of Arnica montana L. has been determined by gel permeation chromatography (g.p.c.). The range of oligosaccharides present was found to extend beyond the octasaccharide previously reported. with 16% to 19% of the oligosaccharides having a degree of polymerisation of between 11 and 19 and almost 3% having a degree of polymerisation greater than 20. The chromatographic behaviour of this series of oligosaccharides is compared with that observed for series of D-gluco-oligosaccharides.     

Hall effect characterization of LPE HgCdTe P/n heterojunctions

The field and temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient has been used to simultaneously extract information about the p and n layers in very long wave length infrared P/n HgCdTe heterojunctions. The field dependence allows the effects of high mobility electrons to be separated from those of low mobility holes. The higher the magnetic field, the higher the sensitivity to the parameters of the P layer. For a maximum magnetic field of 8000 gauss, the hole sheet concentration must be at least five times the electron sheet concentration to obtain accurate results for the P layer. This criterion is satisfied for typical liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) heterostructures. The analysis determines the hole sheet resistance (concentration times mobility), rather than the hole concentration or mobility separately. Independent knowledge of the P layer thickness and the relationship between hole concentration and resistivity are needed to convert the Hall measurement results to hole concentrations. Analysis of the field-dependent Hall data is complicated by the finding that at least three electrons of different mobilities are needed to fit the field dependence of the Hall coefficient in n-type LPE HgCdTe layers. These results are consistent with previous conclusions that electrons with different mobilities are needed to model bulk n-HgCdTe, and with a range of mobilities in the graded composition interface between the LPE layer and CdTe substrate. Consistent results are obtained for the concentrations and mobilities of the three types of electrons in the n-HgCdTe layer with and without the P layer present. N and P type carrier concentrations are also consistent with dopant concentrations measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy.     

Redundancy Removal during High-Level Synthesis Using Scheduling Don‘t-Cares

Previous work in automata theory has shown how to eliminate sequential redundancy from networks of FSMs by finding sequences of inputs and outputs which are never communicated between components of the network. This paper shows that behavior automata—finite-state machines whose inputs and outputs are incompletely scheduled—exhibit similar properties. Using the behavior FSM (BFSM) as a model for scheduling, we show how to identify and eliminate both input and output scheduling dont-cares. When a scheduling dont-care is eliminated from a network of BFSMs, the register-transfer implementation is guaranteed not to suffer from the corresponding dont-care sequence. A definition of scheduling dont-cares improves our understanding of the foundations of high-level synthesis and the relationship between high-level and sequential optimization. In practice, scheduling dont-care elimination is a powerful tool for eliminating redundancy early in the design process.

Variational approach to the analysis of steady‐state thermo‐elastic wear regimes

A transient wear process on frictional interface of two thermo‐elastic bodies in a relative steady sliding motion induces shape evolution of contact interface and tends to a steady state for which the wear process occurs at fixed contact stress and strain distribution. The temperature field generated by frictional and wear dissipation on the contact surface is assumed to reach a steady state. This state is assumed to correspond to minimum of the wear dissipation power and the temperature field corresponds to maximum of the heat entropy production. The stationarity conditions of the response functionals provide the contact pressure distribution and the corresponding temperature field. The present approach extends the authors previous analyses of optimal or steady‐state contact shapes by accounting for coupled wear and thermal distortion effects. The wear rule is assumed as a non‐linear relation of wear rate to shear stress and relative sliding velocity. The analysis of disk and drum brakes is presented with account for thermal distortion effect. It is shown that the contact shape in a steady thermo‐elastic state essentially differs from that specified for mechanical loading with neglect of thermal effects. The thermal instability regimes are not considered in the paper. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Instabilities of Regression Estimates Relating Air Pollution to Mortality

The instability of ordinary least squares estimates of linear regression coefficients is demonstrated for mortality rates regressed around various socioeconomic, weather and pollution variables. A ridge regression technique presented by Hoer1 and Kennard (Technometrics 12 (1970) 69–82) is employed to arrive at “stable” regression coefficients which, in some instances, differ considerably from the ordinary least squares estimates. In addition, two methods of variable elimination are compared—one based on total squared error and the other on a ridge trace analysis.
