Trial-based dominance for comparing both the speed and accuracy of stochastic optimizers with standard non-parametric tests by Price, Kenneth V., Kumar, Abhishek, Suganthan, Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam

“…Non-parametric tests can determine the better of two stochastic optimization algorithms when benchmarking results are ordinal—like the final fitness values of multiple trials—but for many benchmarks, a trial can also terminate once it reaches a prespecified target value. In such cases, both the time that a trial takes to reach the target value (or not) and its final fitness value characterize its outcome. …”

Electrochemical oxidation of vitamin e (α-toh) inside artificial lipid multilayers. by Lau, Charmaine.

“…An α-tocopherol quinone model compound incorporated in the lecithin multilayer structure was also used, together with Nafion coatings on the electrode, to affirm the occurrence of the chemically reversible conversion of α-tocopherol quinone to α-tocopherol hydroquinone in cases where the α- tocopherol/lecithin multilayer system was applied instead. …”

Heck reaction of alkyl halides and α-selective heck reaction of styrenes by Zou, Yinjun

“…In the first part, we disclosed a new catalyst – Pd/dnpf can efficiently catalyze the Heck reaction of aryl and vinyl triflates with aromatic olefins. In most cases, the aryl or vinyl groups insert selectively at α position in >95% purity and the minor isomers can be removed after purification by flash chromatography. …”

Effect of the shapes of foundation soil on the seismic response of dikes by Loo, Zhi Yung

“…The effect of a basin-shaped profiles with depth, the basin-width effect and basin-edge effect are the main 3 cases of interest. Comparing against a horizontal profile of the subsoil, it was found that when the dike sits above a basin-shaped profile of the subsoil, the PGA at dike crest was higher. …”

Homoclinic solutions for a class of second order nonautonomous singular Hamiltonian systems by Zhang, Ziheng, Liao, Fang-Fang, Wong, Patricia J. Y.

“…Our main hypotheses are the strong force condition of Gordon and the uniqueness of a global maximum of 𝑊??? . Different from the cases that (HS) is autonomous ( 𝑎??? ( 𝑡??? ) ≡ 1 ) or (HS) is periodic or almost periodic, as far as we know, this is the first result concerning the case that (HS) is nonautonomous and 𝑁??? …”

What are the intensities and line-shapes of the twenty four polarization terms in coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy? by Niu, Kai, Lee, Soo-Ying

“…It is shown that in fs/ps CARS, for the two cases of off-resonance CARS in toluene and resonanceCARS in rhodamine 6G, where we use a fs pump pulse, a fs Stokes pulse and a ps probe pulse, we obtain sharp vibrational lines in four of the polarization terms where the pump and Stokes pulses can create a vibrational coherence on the ground electronic state, while the spectral line-shapes of the other twenty terms are broad and featureless. …”
