  • Let $T_aD_b(n)$ and $T_aD^{\prime}_b(n)$ denote respectively the number of representations of a positive integer n by $a(x^2-x)/2+b(4y^2-3y)$ and $a(x^2-x)/2+b(4y^2-y)$. Similarly, let $S_aD_b(n)$ and $S_aD^{\prime}_b(n)$ denote respectively the number of representations of n by $ax^2+b(4y^2-3y)$ and $ax^2+b(4y^2-y)$. In this paper, we prove 162 formulas for these functions.

  • A comparative study to validate the reliability of a fully automated docking program, FlexiDock, was carried out to predict the binding modes of DHFR-inhibitor complex. The inhibitors were extracted from the crystallographically determined DHFR-NADP$^{+}$(H)-inhibitor ternary complexes of human, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans and then docked back into the remaining DHFR-NADP$^{+}$(H) binary complexes using FlexiDock. The resulting conformations and orientations were compared to the original crystal complex structures for reproducibility. Then, folate, the substrate, and known inhibitors such as methotrexate, piritrexim and trimethoprim were docked into the wild-type human DHFR and their binding modes were compared with X-ray crystallographic or other modeling data. The root mean square deviations (RMSDs) for ligands ranged from 1.14 to 1.57$\AA$, and the protein backbone RMSDs from 0.94 to 1.26$\AA$. FlexiDock reproduced the orientations and binding modes of all seven ligands in good agreement with the crystal structures. It proved to be a reliable and efficient program in studying binding modes of DHFR-inhibitor complexes of different species, and the information obtained from this work may provide additional insight into the design of new agents with improved activity.ity.

  • At intermediate mass transfer rates, accretion disks in binary star systems undergo a thermally-driven limit cycle instability. This instability leads to outburst episodes when the disk is bright and the flow through the disk is rapid separated by long intervals when the disk is dim and the flow through it is low. This intrinsic outburst mechanism can help to understand a wide range of astrophysical phenomena from dwarf novae to soft X -ray transients involving white dwarf, neutron star, and black holes. and to a deeper understanding of the mechanism of angular transport and viscosity in the accretion disk.

  • In the system of Li2O-MgO-Al2O3-Cr2O3, the crystalline solid solution of LiCrO2 along the pseudo-binary join between rocksalt structure(LiCrO2) and spinel structure(MgCr2O4 or MgAl2O4) have been investigated by x-ray diffraction techniques. In this study, order-disorder phase transition of LiCrO2 was observed and the unit cell of the disordered LiCrO2 structure has been established. It has been found that LiCrO2 makes a solid solution over a wide range with MgAl2O4, while not with MgCr2O4. This difference was explained as being due to the ability of oxygen lattice distortion which depended on the relative sizes and chemical bonding characteristics of the substituted ions.

  • FTIR, FT-Raman, and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to determine chain segregations and lamellar structures of the mixed binary n-paraffins with different chain lengths. The results of three different techniques, infrared spectroscopic studies of crystal field splitting, the Raman longitudinal acoustic mode, and the SAXS long period measurements were compared one another to understand the crystallization mechanism of separated or mixed n- paraffin lamellae.

  • The CrN/TiN/Al thin films for solar selective absorber were prepared by dc reactive magnetron sputtering with multi targets. The binary nitride CrN layer deposited with change in N2 gas flow rates. The gas mixture of Ar and N2 was an important parameter during sputtering deposition because the metal volume fraction (MVF) was controlled by the N2 gas flow rate. In this study, the crystallinity and surface properties of the CrN/TiN/Al thin films were estimated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The composition and depth profile of thin films were investigated using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The absorptance and reflectance with wavelength spectrum were recorded by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry at a range of 300~1,100 nm.

  • Microdomain structures and crystallization behavior of the binary blends consisting of an asymmetric block copolymer and a homopolymer were investigated using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), optical micro scope (OM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-polystyrene block copolymer (PMMA-b-PS) (weight fraction of PMMA =0.53) was mixed with low molecular weight poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). As the PVDF concentration was increased, the morphological change from a lamellar to a cylindrical structure occurred. The crystallization of PVDF significantly disturbed the orientation of the pre-existing microdomain structure, resulting in a poorly ordered morphology. In the blends, PVDF exhibited unique crystallization behavior due to the PMMA block which is preferentially miscible to PVDF and the space constraint imposed by the microdomains.

  • This work was carried out to obtain sound welds and to select a most suitable binary metal joint among three different dissimilar binary metal combinations such as Zr-4/Ta, Mo/Ta and Ti/Ta(seal tube/sensor sheath) joints fur the instrumented nuclear fuel irradiation test. To do this, Taguchi experimental method was employed to optimize the experimental data. In addition, metallography, micro-focus x-ray radiography and hardness test were conducted to examine the welds. From the weld bead appearance, penetration depth and bead width as well as weld defects standpoint, Zr-4/Ta joint is suggested for the circumferential joining between a seal tube and a sensor sheath. The optimized welding parameters based on Zr-4/Ta joint are suggested as well.

  • There are many methods to improve the performance of concrete. Especially, admixture materials used in concrete as the replacement materials of cement, could fluidity, strength and durability of concrete. So recently, the terminology "High-Performance Concrete(HPC)" has been introduced into the construction industry. Most hige-performance concrete have a high cementitious content and a low water-cementitious material ratio. The proportions of the individual constituent vary depending on lacal preferences and local materials. Therefore, many trial batches are usually necessary before a successful mix is developed. The objective of this experiments is to investigate the fundamental properties of high performance concrete based binary cimentitious materials such as ordinary portland cement and ground granulated blast furnace slag. In this study, Use granulated blast furnace slag (30%, 45%, 60%) and water cementitious content (26%, 30%, 34%) take the gauge of capacity that strength, carbonation and XRD, X-Ray Diffraction test

  • The development of time-frequency analysis techniques allow astronomers to successfully deal with the non-stationary time series that originate from unstable physical mechanisms. We applied a recently developed time-frequency analysis method, the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), to two non-stationary phenomena: the superorbital modulation in the high-mass X-ray binary SMC X-1 and the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) of the AGN RE J1034+396. From the analysis of SMC X-1, we obtained a Hilbert spectrum that shows more detailed information in both the time and frequency domains. Then, a phase-resolved analysis of both the spectra and the orbital profiles was presented. From the spectral analysis, we noticed that the iron line production is dominated by different regions of this binary system in different superorbital phases. Furthermore, a pre-eclipse dip lying at orbital phase ~0:6-0:85 was discovered during the superorbital transition state. We further applied the HHT to analyze the QPO of RE J1034+396. From the Hilbert spectrum and the O-C analysis results, we suggest that it is better to divide the evolution of the QPO into three epochs according to their different periodicities. The correlations between the QPO periods and corresponding fluxes were also different in these three epochs. The change in periodicity and the relationships could be interpreted as the change in oscillation mode based on the diskoseismology model.
