Market Efficiency and the Setting of Salaries for NBA Daily Fantasy on FanDuel and Draft Kings
Authors: Paul Rodney , Weinbach Andrew , Losak Jeremy
Published: December 2020

The market for daily fantasy sports for the NBA is examined with respect to efficiency when pricing player salaries for the games.  Simple factors such as home court advantage, rest, and opponent are shown to significantly effect performance beyond posted salaries in the respective markets.  In addition, a “hot hand” effect is found in that players that exceed expectations in previous games are shown to outperform salary-based expectations in the next contest.  These factors yield a rejection of market efficiency as it relates to salaries in the marketplace.  Legal ramifications for these contests as games of skill are examined.

Leprosy in the Modern Era
Authors: Manzoor Kadri Syed , Petkovic Marija , Taj Arshi , H. Brady Ailbhe
Published: December 2020

Leprosy is a chronic infective disease that originates from the presence of pathogen agent Mycobacterium leprae. Mycobacterium leprae was discovered by the Norwegian doctor Gerhard Henrik Armauer Hansen in 1873. For the zoonotic transmission of M. leprae in the US the responsible insects are armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus). M. leprae is an intracellular microorganism leading to loss of sensibility, innervation, intraepidermal impairment and lesions due to the absence of myelin in Schwann cells. Mycobacterium leprae has high infectivity and low pathogenicity. Incubation period is from 2 to 7 years. Leprosy is an infectious neurodegenerative disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Leprosy is the major cause of human disability due to neurological damage. Leprosy still represents one of the major causes of disabilities in humans. The most common complications are muscle weakness leading to atrophy, bone loss, amputations and blindness. In the case of chronic cutaneous hyperalgesia, there is a local increase in NGF levels. The application of anti-NGF antibodies may be of benefit in treating hyperalgesia in patients with neuropathy and impaired nerve endings. If combined, NGF, NT-3 and glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor may be sustainable. In over 90% of human individuals an overall genetic resistance has been noted.

Authors: Gati Gupta Biman
Published: December 2020

The present study attempts to assess the nature of effluents generated from textile bleaching and dyeing units located at Kalikapur area under Maheshtala region, West Bengal, India and to provide a sustainable management of ground water resources through installing CETPs with zero liquid discharge system. Effluent from medium, small and tiny units of this region is estimated at 2000 MLD. Studies with 40 units for 4 years (2012—2016) located in this area exhibited following mean values of different physic-chemical variables: pH (9), Biological Oxygen Demand (610 Mg/L), Chemical Oxygen Demand (1827 Mg/L), Total Dissolved Solids (6411 Mg/L), Total Suspend Solids (927 Mg/L) and toxic metals such as lead Pb (0.43 Mg/L), Chromium (0.031 Mg/L), Zinc (0.74 Mg/L), Nickel (0.07 Mg/L) and Cadmium (0.03 Mg/L). These finding of results surpass the standard allowable limits qualify by FAO (1985) and World Health Organization (2003). The waste water loaded with toxic trace metals is adversely affecting the environmental pollution and anthropomorphic eudemonia and also pollute the quality of both surface and ground water and consequently degraded agricultural and plant yield, vegetable and fruits and causes impairment to aquatic lives. Four to five Common Effluent Treatment Plants are urgently required to install at different areas of the Maheshtala cluster with a capacity of 500 MLD each, so that one in Kalikapur area, to manage sizeable volume of waste water (2000 MLD) and sustainable management of ground water resources in a thickly populated urban area near Calcutta, a principal city of India.

Published: December 2020

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is highly successful in colonizing in all types of environments. P. aeruginosa colonizing in adverse environment due to the presence of its virulence factors include production of toxins, proteases hemolysins, and formation of biofilms. In man, the most common opportunist pathogen is P. aeruginosa. Metabolically P. aeruginosa is versatile. Most of the antibiotics targeted metabolically active cells and bacteria could contribute to decrease in biofilm susceptibility to the antimicrobial agents. Scientists suggested about Pseudomonas that it can be catabolized any hydrocarbon in specific time along with availability of oxygen and nitrite. If bacteria are not susceptible to one agent in three or more, it is called as multidrug-resistance strains. The antimicrobial treatments were not suitable when microorganism presented in vitro microorganism resistance to antimicrobials used for treatment of the patient which lack of treatment for 24 h after diagnosis of microbial infections. Bacteria have developed resistance against commonly used antibiotics. Treatment of Pseudomonas infections is coming harder day by day as its resistance against most of the antibiotics. Because of resistance of bacteria antibiotics, alternative methods are in consideration. These methods include use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and most recently nano-particles. That is why they are used as antibacterial agents.

Authors: Kwaku Armah Edward , Chetty Maggie , Adebisi Adedeji Jeremiah , Kukwa Donald Tyoker , Mutsvene Boldwin , Pearlman Shabangu Khaya , Femi Bakare Babatunde
Published: December 2020

The quality of freshwater and its supply, particularly for domestic and industrial purposes are waning due to urbanization and inefficient conventional wastewater treatment (WWT) processes. For decades, conventional WWT processes have succeeded to some extent in treating effluents to meet standard discharge requirements. However, improvements in WWT are necessary to render treated wastewater for re-use in the industrial, agricultural, and domestic sectors. Three emerging technologies including membrane technology, microbial fuel cells and microalgae, as well as WWT strategies are discussed in this chapter. These applications are a promising alternative for manifold WWT processes and distribution systems in mitigating contaminants to meet acceptable limitations. The basic principles, types and applications, merits, and demerits of the aforementioned technologies are addressed in relation to their current limitations and future research needs. The development in WWT blueprints will augment the application of these emerging technologies for sustainable management and water conservation, with re-use strategies.

Cultural Heritage Tradition and Innovation in the Internationalization of Family Business: A Case Study from the Italian Fashion Industry
Authors: Claudia Pellicelli Anna , Varese Erica
Published: December 2020

The fashion industry is one of the main businesses in the global economy in terms of employment, investment, trade and revenue and Italian companies are worldwide recognized as representative of cultural heritage, expertise and high-quality standards. The adoption of traceability technologies, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFId), from the very early stage of the production chain, may help to obtain a more effective process and may also assure the origin of the garments, a key aspect in the fashion industry. The chapter aims at presenting an Italian family business, Oscalito, which has adopted the RFId technology, joining tradition and innovation in its production. A qualitative case study methodology has been adopted, to explore this experience within its context. Oscalito has applied RFId tags to each label, to ensure complete traceability throughout the production chain for each single item (and not merely by lots), fine-tuned control over the production process, and timely and accurate shipment. Thanks to their application, the production chain has been monitored and the Italian origin of the garments has been guaranteed. This research has undoubtedly some limitation due to the applied method. Deeper studies are requested in order to check a general fashion industry trend with reference to the application of RFId technology.
Structural Modeling and Dynamic Analysis of a Nuclear Reactor Building
Authors: Oyguc Evrim , Hayır Abdul , Oyguc Resat
Published: December 2020

Increasing energy demand urge the developing countries to consider different types of energy sources. Owing the fact that the energy production capacity of renewable energy sources is lower than a nuclear power plant, developed countries like US, France, Japan, Russia and China lead to construct nuclear power plants. These countries compensate 80% of their energy need from nuclear power plants. Further, they periodically conduct tests in order to assess the safety of the existing nuclear power plants by applying impact type loads to the structures. In this study, a sample third-generation nuclear reactor building has been selected to assess its seismic behavior and to observe the crack propagations of the prestressed outer containment. First, a 3D model has been set up using ABAQUS finite element program. Afterwards, modal analysis is conducted to determine the mode shapes. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses are then followed using an artificial strong ground motion which is compatible with the mean design spectrum of the previously selected ground motions that are scaled to Eurocode 8 Soil type B design spectrum. Results of the conducted nonlinear dynamic analyses are considered in terms of stress distributions and crack propagations.
The Self, Karma and Rebirth
Authors: Kumar Kisor , Lethonen Tommi ,   Society for Indian Philosophy and Religion
Published: December 2020

The paper has two main parts. The first part is devoted to the traditional Hindu viewpoint on the existence and permanence of the self as an immaterial substance. Various arguments offered by Hindu philosophers against the materialist view that the body is the self as well as arguments against the Buddhist view of the self as a stream of constantly changing states are discussed critically with reference to recent philosophical perspectives. The second part is devoted to the doctrine of karma and rebirth. A number of traditional arguments for the doctrine are studied analytically and critically as well as relevance of the doctrine for addressing the problem of evil that for many is a serious issue facing the creationist position. Finally, the major arguments of Plato who also held that the self is eternal and goes through reincarnation are critiqued from a comparative standpoint.
Human Rights, Compassion and the Issue of the Pure Motive in the Ethics of Schopenhauer and Buddhism
Authors: Eliopoulos Panos ,   Society for Indian Philosophy and Religion
Published: December 2020

This paper focuses on a specific area of interest within the philosophical system of Schopenhauer and Buddhism which is human rights, the concept of compassion and the issue of the pure motive behind human action. Both theories express pessimism regarding the transitoriness of life and the pain caused, and how this deprives man of inner peace. The common acknowledgment of the fact that human life entails great suffering guides the two philosophies into an awareness of the need for salvation. In their metaphysics, there is a number of similarities that conclude to the point that moral truthfulness is a principal virtue in human life, practically indispensable for right living. In this particular context, while compassion is highlighted as the main ethical factor, it is a question of paramount importance in these doctrines whether the motive behind the action is a motive concentrated on the Self or purely on the Other.
The Process-Oriented Conception of Truth in William James
Authors: Hackett J. Edward ,   The Center for Process Studies
Published: December 2020

In this article, I argue that William Jamess concept of truth can be interpreted accurately if we pay attention to the radical empiricism that underlines the notion in all of James's later writings and if we also see radical empiricism as a type of process thought. When we acknowledge these two conditions, we can see how Cheryl Misak is mistaken in reinscribing subjectivism back into Jamess radical empiricism, which attempted to overcome the subject-object distinction in the first place. In reading James through radical empiricism qua process philosophy, then, the background assumptions of James are set into relief yielding a deeper and richer conception of truth.

An Interview with Rianna Walcott
Authors: McCallion Anne-Marie ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2020

This is an interview with Rianna Walcott, the co-founder of Project Myopia – a student-led initiative to decolonise university curricula. The discussion explores the difference between ‘diversity’ and ‘decolonisation’: how these two concepts relate to and contradict one another. Walcott outlines some of the recent student efforts to ‘decolonise’ the university and we discuss the extent to which this represents a paradoxical ambition, as well as the limitations of attempting to change the university from the inside. Walcott also explores the significance of some practical measures which can be – or have been – put into place when attempting to diversify or decolonise curricula, and we close by discussing the significance of Philosophy in particular with respect to decolonising efforts, and the steps which need to be taken in order to begin the process of ‘decolonising’ philosophy.
The “Art of Collaborations”: Understanding the Anatomy of Transformative Transactions in Biopharma
Authors: Boni Arthur A
Published: December 2020

This article highlights the factors that drive successful collaborations and partnerships that underlie accessing transformative technologies, and financially sharing of value created through eventual successful commercialization and incorporation into the Pharma 3.0 and then Pharma 4.0 business models.  We highlight the “softer factors” of the partnerships and collaborations that relate to the commonality of culture and vision of the partners and how they “fit” into a working, collaborative partnership and/or M&A transaction, and then into the ultimate product(s) and services that are brought to the market to create shared value. We posit that such transactions often fail because of reasons that do not involve either technology or market; but relate to “softer” human-related factors. For illustrative purposes, we frame our discussions around several and very successful larger top tier biopharma companies that are well known for accessing external technologies as a source for transformative innovation.
Challenges for Transformative Innovation in Emerging Digital Health Organizations: advocating service design to address the multifaceted healthcare ecosystem
Authors: Boni Arthur A
Published: December 2020

This article uses mini- case studies of three early stage organizations that pursued different pathways or models for bringing emerging, transformative digital technologies to the healthcare market.  These organizations were each focused on different applications of digital health: Stentor was a venture capital backed, university spinoff focused in the field of digital radiology; Omnyx was formed as a joint venture (JV) by an academic medical center and industrial partner to transform the field of digital pathology; and, IBM Watson operating as an IBM unit, focused on the promise of artificial intelligence and machine learning for broad uses in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Each took a different organizational and business model path that resulted in mixed outcomes. While there are always many reasons for success or failure, we observe that these digital healthcare markets are more complex than typical consumer or technology markets. While any solution in healthcare demands patient centricity; healthcare markets additionally require a strong understanding and appreciation of the supporting ecosystem or network consisting of physicians and providers; and of constraints from payers and regulators.  The value propositions of each member of the ecosystem must be understood and addressed. To meet this challenge, we advocate the formation of an integrated multidisciplinary commercialization team that addresses the multidimensional value proposition across the company life cycle. And importantly, that team should work collaboratively, and include service design as a key team member - along with the technology, business, marketing, reimbursement, and regulatory components.
Legal and Compliance Considerations When Bringing Cellular Therapies to Market

Published: December 2020

Cellular therapies treat the underlying cause of disease by removing cells from a patient’s body, modifying the cells by introducing a new gene or correcting a faulty one, and then infusing the modified cells back into the patient.  While cellular therapies raise many regulatory and legal issues that are common to all therapeutic products, this article focuses on the unique legal and compliance challenges cellular therapy manufacturers face when bringing cellular therapies to market, securing reimbursement for their products, and providing financial assistance to the patients who need them.
Recusatio iudicus: Serbian scope, comparative review and practice of European Court of Human Rights
Authors: Pejović Krsto
Published: December 2020

The right of a party to exercise a judicial function in a case deciding its rights and obligations is impartial to a judge, which is determined by the obligation of the state to provide, first in a normative and then in a practical framework, the right to be upheld. Prima faciae, when it comes to the Serbian and legal frameworks of surrounding countries, it has been done nomotechnically in an impeccable way, but there are a number of essential shortcomings. The results we have obtained, using comparative legal review and analyzing practice of ECHR indicate that the Serbian, as well as the legislatures in the region, faces major problems in this area. As an anomaly we identified the possibility that a judge, although biased, in accordance with applicable regulations (in Serbian, Croatian and North Macedonian legal framework), could exercise judicial function in the case (because, there Criminal procedure codes stipulates that judge "can" be disqualified if there are doubts in his impartiality). Furthermore, very big problem in all legislatures (except Montenegrin) was that the injured party, although entitled to make a compensation claim (and this claim, within the meaning of Article 6(1) of the European Convention constitutes a civil claim), has no opportunity to seek a judicial excption/recusation. Finally, all analyzed legislation, except the Slovenian, allows a judge to take immediate action when it comes to an optional recusation. Disagreeing with this, we suggested that in the future they follow their Slovenian colleague who arranged it in a much better way.
The challenges of credit risk management in the investment firms in crisis
Authors: Sovilj Ranko
Published: December 2020

The global financial crisis has given rise to legislative activity on the international level, with the adoption of numerous legal regulations, in order to improve the ability of financial participants, among others, investment firms to absorb losses arising from economic and financial stress situations. Credit risk is one of the dominant risk in the finance and business of investment firms, and consequently, the exposure to credit risk is present in almost all financial transactions. Therefore, the paper points out that the application of adequate methods of credit risk management can contribute to the liquidity of investment firms, as well as preserving the stability of the financial market, taking into account frequent financial market shocks caused by numerous internal and external factors. In this regard, the aim of this research is to indicate how the application of the adopted international standards contributes to reducing the exposure of the investment firms to credit risk. Finally, the research of the legal regime of credit risk management in investment firms, using the normative and comparative method, provides us with a basis for critical review and analysis of national regulation in this field.

Authors: Enrique Álvarez Areces , María Ángeles Utrero Agudo , José Manuel Baltuille Martín
Published: December 2020

La iglesia de San Pedro de La Mata (Sonseca, Toledo) constituye uno de los monumentos clave en la Historia y Arqueología del Altomedievo de la península Ibérica. Tras los trabajos arqueológicos ya publicados, este estudio pretende estudiar con detalle las canteras de granito explotadas para la construcción de este edificio. Estas son áreas de explotación trabajadas a lo largo de los siglos, reflejando por tanto la superposición histórica de diferentes actividades extractivas. En el presente trabajo nos centramos en las técnicas empleadas en la extracción, en la incidencia de la Geología en los trabajos en la cantera y en la coordinación con la obra constructiva de la iglesia a partir del análisis de los vestigios de esta última y de los frentes de extracción antiguos conservados.
Apuntes para la reconstrucción del panorama cantero en el Medio Vinalopó (Alicante) previo a la eclosión y comercialización de la "piedra de Novelda" a nivel nacional
Authors: Javier Martínez Martínez
Published: December 2020

Determinadas variedades de piedra del Medio Vinalopó han adquirido una gran importancia en el sector de la roca ornamental a nivel nacional e internacional a lo largo del siglo XX. El punto de despegue de esta comercialización masiva se sitúa en 1858 con la llegada del ferrocarril a la comarca y en las décadas sucesivas con la creación de las primeras industrias de roca ornamental. En este trabajo, se pretende trazar una visión general sobre la importancia de la piedra del Medio Vinalopó previamente al punto de inflexión de 1858. Tres variedades son las que disfrutaban de un gran reconocimiento tanto dentro de los límites de la comarca como fuera de ellos: la piedra de Bateig, la piedra de Monóvar y las calizas rojas del Rollo (y en menor medida, también las de Rambla Fonda). Diferentes referencias escritas contextualizan su importancia y buena valoración a nivel regional a lo largo del siglo XVIII. Si bien, tras el análisis de los materiales de construcción de edificaciones datadas, se puede afirmar que la actividad en alguna de estas canteras se remonta al siglo XIV, junto con otras que posteriormente gozaron de menor consideración. Según las referencias históricas consultadas, existía una frecuente circulación intracomarcal de piezas ya elaboradas, especialmente a lo largo del siglo XVIII. Durante este siglo, además, la consecución de grandes obras en la comarca logra fijar en estos pueblos un grupo de maestros de cantería, mientras que anteriormente, la mano de obra experta debía ser llamada a la comarca desde diferentes puntos de la geografía alicantina.
Pengaruh musim terhadap kelimpahan kumbang moncong (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) pada tipe penggunaan lahan berbeda di lanskap Hutan Harapan dan Taman Nasional Bukit Duabelas, Jambi
Authors: Siddikah Fatimah , Nazarreta Rizky , Buchori Damayanti
Published: December 2020

Perubahan fungsi tipe penggunaan lahan dari hutan menjadi perkebunan dapat menyebabkan hilangnya berbagai jenis keanekaragaman serangga, salah satunya adalah kelompok kumbang. Kumbang Curculionidae atau kumbang moncong merupakan salah satu famili terbesar dalam Ordo Coleoptera karena kemampuannya yang mampu beradaptasi di hampir semua habitat di alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh musim terhadap kekayaan spesies dan kelimpahan individu kumbang moncong pada tipe penggunaan lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit dan karet di area lanskap Hutan Harapan dan Taman Nasional Bukit Duabelas, Jambi. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada musim kemarau dan musim hujan 2013–2014 dengan metode pengasapan menggunakan pestisida berbahan aktif piretroid. Pada setiap tipe penggunaan lahan (perkebunan  kelapa sawit dan karet) ditentukan 4 plot pengamatan, dan masing-masing plot pengamatan ditentukan 3 titik sebagai subplot sehingga total keseluruhan terdapat 16 plot atau 48 subplot. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ditemukan sebanyak 1.761 individu kumbang moncong yang terdiri atas 9 subfamili dan 45 morfospesies. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, perbedaan musim tidak memengaruhi kekayaan spesies dan kelimpahan individu, sedangkan perbedaan tipe penggunaan lahan hanya memengaruhi kelimpahan individu kumbang moncong. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kemiripan spesies Bray-Curtis menunjukkan sebesar 4% terjadi kemiripan spesies antar tipe penggunaan lahan, dan 46% kemiripan spesies antar musim. Hasil analisis indeks keanekaragaman pada tipe penggunaan lahan kelapa sawit lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan tipe penggunaan lahan karet. Salah satu spesies dominan yang ditemukan pada kedua tipe penggunaan lahan adalah Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust., juga ditemukan spesies spesifik yang hanya menempati tipe penggunaan lahan tertentu, seperti Rhynchophorus sp.01 hanya ditemukan pada tipe penggunaan lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit, dan Curculio sp.04 hanya ditemukan pada tipe penggunaan lahan karet.

Features of Criminal Liability of Juvenile Criminals: International Legal and Comparative Analysis
Authors: Begaliyev Yernar N. , Sakhatova Samal Ye. , Temirova Aizat Zh. , Paryzkyi Igor V. , Kuprienko Vladimir M.
Published: December 2020

The relevance of the problem under study lies in the fact that the criminal liability of juvenile criminals is one of the most difficult areas of criminal law. Minors, given their physiological, mental, and social characteristics, are considered a separate category of criminals, being one of the most vulnerable segments of the population. Therefore, juvenile delinquency manifests itself not only in causing harm to public relations, the personality of the victim, but also directly to the minor, forming antisocial behaviour in the latter's mind. Considering the above, the problem of the specific features of the criminal liability of minors remains relevant today. The purpose of the study is to analyse the criminal liability of minors from an international legal standpoint, as well as to carry out a comparative analysis of the features of the regulation of criminal liability of minors in different countries of the world. To fully explore the subject matter of the study, a set of general scientific and special methods of cognition was used. In particular, the study used the methods of scientific knowledge, system analysis, scientific abstraction, generalisation, comparison, analysis and synthesis, grouping, formalisation, historical and logical analysis. For example, the leading method was the comparison method, which helped to compare the specific features of practice in other countries of the world in criminal liability of minors. The study analyses the features of the criminal liability of minors, in particular the minimum age of criminal liability, differences between countries in this regard, as well as general international standards.

Polaron fluorescence and tomograpy of Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide
Authors: Zhang Yun  ,   西南大学物理学院，重庆  400715
Published: December 2020

The small polaron Nb4+Li fluorescence spectrum is in the range of 700—950 nm. Researches of the pure lithium niobate samples with the same composition and different reduction degrees show that the intensity of the fluorescence spectrum reflects the chemical reduction degree of the material. From the shallow level of small polaron, we propose a model of “one center and three energy level” to explain the process of polaron fluorescence. For titanium-diffused lithium niobate (Ti：LiNbO3), homogeneity of the chemical reduction level would be destroyed during fabrication. From the scans of Ti：LiNbO3 waveguide sample, the intensities of fluorescence spectrum on the surface and in the bulk, as well as inside the waveguide and outside the waveguide, are evidently different (intensity on the surface is 6—8 times of that in the bulk). Our researches indicate, using the non-destructive technology of polaron fluorescence spectrum is effective to control the necessary heat treatment in the waveguide fabrication processes. At the same time, the difference in intensity reflects indirectly the profile of the waveguide.

In this paper, we have studied a new delay-dependent chaos control approach via delayed state feedback. This approach uses Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model to represent a unified chaotic system and adopts the theory of Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Simulation results show that the delay-dependent state feedback controller we designed can stabilize the unified chaotic system to its equilibrium.

In this paper, space approach of moving object in a kind of Markov stochastic process is studied. A state transfer function of Markov stochastic model in space-time network is deduced by mathematic method firstly. The space-time network is defined as a three-dimensional space which is formed from moving objects and their trajectories, and the corresponding distance space is constructed. Then the fixed point theorem is presented. A self-mapping operator in the distance space is attained by the analysis of state transfer function. On the basis of the above theory, the moving object can be mapped from the former node to the target one by themselves. All of these are proved by theorems and emulational experiments. Moreover, we attempt to use the method of space decompounds with granularity in moving object. The moving object can be approached better through the mapping of fixed point, and the requirements of moving objects are satisfied in real time. The relevanr experiments also validate the feasibility and validity of space approach idea.

A kind of generalized predictive control fast algorithm with predictive function for Hénon chaotic system is proposed. Firstly, we identify the chaotic system by recursive least square parameter of time varying forget factor. Then one kind of predictive function is added into this algorithm and makes full use of compensation of predictive information, overcoming the disadvantage of calculating inverse matrix to increase the response speed of the system. The ability of tracking the reference signal and restraining the parameter perturbation and stochastic disturbance are improved. Simulated results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

We have studied the one-photon absorption （OPA） and two-photon absorption （TPA） properties of the one-, two- and three-dimensional compounds with the same unit of （4-{2-［4-（2-pyridin-4-yl-vinyl）-phenyl］-vinyl}-phenyl）-amine moieties, using the response theory approach at the hybrid density functional theory level. The numerical simulation shows that the three organic molecules exhibit strong OPA and TPA capabilities. All chromophores present two linear absorption peaks in the ultra UV-visible region, which is in agreement with the experimental measurements. Strong broadband TPA properties from 780 to 1020 nm have been demonstrated in the near infrared region. The ratio of the largest TPA cross sections for three molecules DPVPA, BPVPA and TPVPA is 1.0∶2.3∶4.0, and the molecule TPVPA has the maximum TPA cross section 101.73×10-48 cm4·s. It is substantiated that the TPA cross section can be effectively enhanced with increasing molecular dimensionality. The charge-transfer process for the charge-transfer state is visualized in order to understand the enhancement of the TPA cross sections.

A diode-end-pumped Nd:YAG intracavity frequency-tripled quasi-continuous 355 nm laser has been demonstrated. The efficient third-harmonic generation with high peak power and stable operation is generated by a lithium triborate （LBO） crystal successfully. The laser cavity is a simple plane-to-plane linear cavity, which is short and compact. An average 355 nm laser output power of 163 mW is obtained at a pump power of 5.73 W and a pulse repetition rate of 9 kHz, with the highest optical-to-optical efficiency of 2.84%. The highest average 355 nm laser output power is up to 174 mW at a pump power of 6.7 W and a pulse repetition rate of 5 kHz. The instability of the output power of 174 mW is less than 5% and the beam quality M2 factor is 3.79. An average 355 nm laser output power of 112 mW is achieved at a pump power of 5.73 W and a pulse repetition rate of 2 kHz and the peak power reaches the highest value of 9.15 kW. Compared with the technology of external cavity frequency conversion, the technology of intracavity frequency conversion can cut down some of the optical elements in the laser cavity, reduce the size of the laser, and enhance the handiness of the laser. These advantages will benefit the wide applications of the ultraviolet lasers.

A comparison of the existing sound source model for calculating transfer matrix of two-dimensional rectangular acoustic cavity is performed in this paper. Based on the comparison, a new square linar sound source model is developed to calculate the pressure response function. Results show that this new source model can not only overcome the singularity problem of the point source model but also get more uniform pressure distribution than that of the surface source model provided that the size of the new model’s geometry is reasonably controlled. On the other hand, the mathematical model of the new square line-source is simpler than that of the circular line-source model. Therefore, it can improve the computational efficiency significantly. Finally, the feasibility of the new source model is substantiated by performing some numerical experiments.

Ultrafast electron diffraction （UED） is a powerful technique for the measurement of transient structures. Employing our UED system, with its capability of detecting a sub-milli-ngstrom lattice spacing change with a sub-picosecond temporal resolution, we performed the real-time observation of both the coherent phonon and thermal lattice motions of polycrystalline 20 nm Al film, which was excited by femtosecond laser pulses. The obtained coherent oscillation period of ～7.4 ps and temperature rise of ～77 K agree well with those from theoretical calculation. This achievement offers great promise to conduct measurements of transient structures with atomic spatiotemporal resolution in many dynamical processes that can be initiated by ultrafast optical excitation.

Zinc films with three different thicknesses in the range of 1—3 μm were deposited on a glass substrate under a high magnetic field of 3 T, and compared with the samples prepared without magnetic field. It’s indicated that the all samples in 3 T magnetic field tend to align in the c-axis direction of zinc crystal and those prepared under in 0 T have lower intensity in c-axis with the thickness increasing, as shown by the X-ray diffraction results. From the scanning electron microscope photographs we found that crystals of zinc films prepared in 3 T magnetic field have refined appearance compared to the ones without magnetic field. Thermodynamic theory was used to analyze the coacervation of zinc aggregates. Preliminary analysis shows that the critical nucleation radius r*M and critical nucleation Gibbs free energy ΔG*M in the magnetic field is less than r* and ΔG* in normal state. Thereby, the nucleation intensity of zinc crystals in 3 T magnetic field is larger than that in 0 T and accordingly the refine ment phenomenon ensues.
