Probabilistic Operation of Electric Power Systems Considering Environmental Constraint (Part 9)* -A Fast Scheduling Method-
application/pdfA scheduling method for electric power systems is reported. The schedule is made to satisfy the limits of both system security and environmental pollution. The limit of system security is considered as the probability of the power supply. And power supply is considered possible only when every power flow satisfies each transmission line’s capacity in this report. Each thermal unit and line are considered to suffer a failure probabilistically. The nitrogen oxide emission from thermal stations is considered as a typical example of environmental pollution. Its limit is considered as a total value for all thermal units. Two methods of approximation are introduced so that the schedule can be estimated rapidly. The first is a method of adjustment of the output power of thermal units to satisfy the line capacities. 0nly two units adjust their power to satisfy them approximately. The second is the control of the emission. It is controlled by only one system state whose elements are all healthy, which may not introduce a strictly economical schedule. The proposed method is applied to a model system. Results of simulations are shown by some kinds of limits. That is, the probability of power supply is improved by about 15 [%] with the proposed method. The emission can be reduced by about 10 [%].departmental bulletin pape
Investigation of Self-Concept in Bipolar Disorder: Moving Beyond Traditional Self-Related Cognitions Towards Metacognitions
Intuitively speaking, one’s perceptions of the self are closely intertwined with their affective experiences. The current project provides insight to the complex interactions between various self-related cognitions and mood pathology for individuals with bipolar disorder. The project also explores therapeutic benefits for this clinical population of self-compassion and nonattachment to self, both of which aim to cultivate an adaptive relationship to the self. Overall, the project moves beyond traditional models and constructs of self-concept in bipolar disorder literature. Current findings inform future therapy designs that seek to utilise self-compassion and nonattachment to self as psychological treatment of bipolar disorder

A STUDY ON THE SPEAKER RECOGNITION ALGORITHM BASED ON BAYESIAN COMPRESSED SENSING THEORY
Speaker
recognition technology is widely used in the Internet and communication filed.
In recent years, compressed sensing theory attracted wide attention in and
abroad. Having broken through the limitations of the Nyquist sampling rate, it
can sampled compressible signals while compressing them at the same time.As a
new theory, compressed sensing theory was brought into the filed of speaker
recognition technology where huge breakthrough is in great demand to bring hope
to enhance the performance of speaker recognition system. Aiming at the text
independent speaker recognition technology, this paper made a profound study on
the Bayesian compressed sensing algorithm. According to the characteristics of
the sparse coefficient in the algorithm, a Gaussian prior assumption is
introduced. And then a speaker recognition algorithm based on Bayesian
compressed sensing is proposed.</p
Shape Amphiphiles in 2‑D: Assembly of 1‑D Stripes and Control of Their Surface Density
The morphology of monolayers assembled
from mixtures of a shape-amphiphilic
molecule, {33,19} = 1-((hentriaconta-14,16-diyn-1-yloxy)methyl)-5-((heptadecyloxy)methyl)anthracene,
and a symmetric molecule, {19<sub>2</sub>}, at the solution–HOPG
interface depends strongly on the components’ solution concentrations
and sample annealing history. The kinked alkadiyne side chain, {33},
packs optimally only with antiparallel aligned, {33} side chains.
Thus, optimal packing of {33} side chains should assemble “{33}
stripes” consisting of two adjacent {33,19} columns with interdigitated
{33} chains. The aliphatic {19} side chain of {33,19} can pack with
antiparallel aligned {19} side chains from {19<sub>2</sub>} or from
{33,19}. Thus, {33} stripes can incorporate as “guests”
within {19<sub>2</sub>} “host” monolayers. The composition
and morphology of monolayers formed by drop casting solutions of {33,19}
and {19<sub>2</sub>} at 19 °C are dominated by assembly kinetics.
Short {33} strips are immersed haphazardly in monolayers comprised
mostly of {19<sub>2</sub>}. Thermal annealing promotes fuller expression
of {33,19}’s shape amphiphilicity and assembly of thermodynamically
determined monolayers incorporating 1-D {33} stripes within a 2-D
matrix of {19<sub>2</sub>}. Larger solution mole fractions of {19<sub>2</sub>} yield annealed monolayers with nearly constant {33} strip
lengths, decreased {33} strip density, and increased {33} strip spacing

Stereoselective Enzymatic Synthesis of Chiral Alcohols with the Use of a Carbonyl Reductase from <i>Candida </i><i>m</i><i>agnoliae</i> with Anti-Prelog Enantioselectivity
In our effort to search for carbonyl reductases with anti-Prelog enantioselectivity, the activity and
enantioselectivity of a carbonyl reductase from Candida magnoliae have been examined with various
ketones of diverse structures. This carbonyl reductase catalyzed the reduction of a series of ketones, α-
and β-ketoesters, to anti-Prelog configurated alcohols in excellent optical purity. The usefulness of this
carbonyl reductase has been demonstrated by synthesis of several chiral alcohol intermediates of
pharmaceutical importance
Shape-Directed Patterning and Surface Reaction of Tetra-diacetylene Monolayers: Formation of Linear and Two-Dimensional Grid Polydiacetylene Alternating Copolymers
Side
chains containing two diacetylene units spaced by an odd number
of methylene units exhibit pronounced “bumps” composed
of 0.3 nm steps, in opposite directions, at odd and even side-chain
positions. In densely packed self-assembled monolayers, the bis-diacetylene
bumps stack into each other, similar to the stacking of paper cups.
Bis-diacetylene side chain structure and associated packing constraints
can be tailored by altering the bump width, direction, side-chain
location, and overall side-chain length as a means to direct the identities
and alignments of adjacent molecules within monolayers. Scanning tunneling
microscopy (STM) at the solution–HOPG interface confirms the
high selectivity and fidelity with which bis-diacetylene bump stacking
directs the packing of shape-complementary side chains within one-component
monolayers and within two-component, 1-D self-patterned monolayers.
Drop cast or moderately annealed monolayers of anthracenes bearing
two bis-diacetylene side chains assemble single domains as large as
10<sup>5</sup> nm<sup>2</sup>. Light-induced cross-linking of two-component,
1-D patterned monolayers generates linear polydiacetylene alternating
copolymers (A-B-)<sub><i>x</i></sub> and 2-D grid polydiacetylene
alternating copolymers (A<sub>‑B‑</sub><sup>‑B‑</sup>A<sub>‑B‑</sub><sup>‑B‑</sup>)<sub><i>x</i></sub> that covalently lock in monolayer
structure and patterns
