Detecting the boundaries of protein domains is an important and challenging task in both experimental and computational structural biology. In this paper, a promising method for detecting the domain structure of a protein from sequence information alone is presented. The method is based on analyzing multiple sequence alignments derived from a database search. Multiple measures are defined to quantify the domain information content of each position along the sequence. Then they are combined into a single predictor using support vector machine. What is more important, the domain detection is first taken as an imbal- anced data learning problem. A novel undersampling method is proposed on distance-based maximal entropy in the feature space of Support Vector Machine (SVM). The overall precision is about 80%. simulation results demonstrate that the method can help not only in predicting the complete 3D structure of a protein but also in the machine learning system on general im- balanced datasets.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, IR and chemical analysis were employe to study the adsorption mechanisms of crosslinked chitosan (CCTSCd) on cadmium. According to IR, it showed that -NH2 groups of chitosan were protected by template method and others -NH2 groups which didn't complex with cadmium ions took part in crosslinking reaction. Investigating the changes of element binding energy of O1s, C1s, N1s and Cd3d of XPS, there were chemical shifts of both N1s and Cd3d5/2 and Cd3d3/2 of the sample of adsorption comparing with unadsorption, but O1s and C1s hadn't. At the same time, N1s peak had a shoulder peak. The results indicate that -NH2 groups on CCTSCd complexes with cadmium ions by N1s fit spectra. The adsorption is a chemical adsorption and the experimental data fits Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The sorbent has selectivity and memory to metal ions.

Density functional theory method was employed to study the effect of the nitroamino group as a substituent in cyclopentane and cyclohexane, which usually construct polycyclic or caged nitramines. Based on the optimized molecular structures of two groups of monocyclic nitramines at the B3LYP/6-31G^** level, the infrared (IR) spectra were obtained and assigned by harmonic vibrational analysis. The calculated results agree reasonably with the available experimental data. According to the principles of statistic thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties were derived from the IR spectra, which were linearly correlated with the number of nitroamino groups as well as the temperature. The contributions of nitroamino groups to thermodynamic properties are in accord with the group additivity.

The past progress in transfer path analysis (TPA) and its limitations were reviewed. A innovative unbiased estimative methodology of transfer functionis was introduced and applied. The measurement method of transfer function was improved. Then TPA using the data of easy measurement in operational condition of vehicle can be put in practice. Accuracy of transfer function was improved, the process of measurement was predigested, and time was decreased. A data postprocessing program of measurement was written by MatLab. Finally, the improvement of TPA was validated through idling vibration of engine transmitting to compartment.

A systematic study on the thermolysis mechanism and stability of a series of energetic cyclic nitramines, trans-1,4,5,8-tetranitro-1,4,5,8-tetraazadecalin isomers, was performed by density functional theory (DFT) and semiempirical molecular orbital (MO) calculations. Bond dissociation energies (BDE) and activation energies (Ea) of the thermolysis processes were computed at the B3LYP/6-31G** and PM3 levels, respectively. The effect of ni-troamino groups on the thermal stability and pyrolysis mechanism of the title compounds was evaluated by the BDE and Ea. The correlations among BDE, Ea, bond overlap populations, energies of the frontier orbitals, and energy gaps were examined in detail. The results indicate that thermal stabilities and decomposition mechanisms of the title compounds derived from the BDE, Ea and static electronic parameters are basically consistent. Homolysis of the N-NO2 bond is the initial step in the thermolysis of the title compounds, the meta-isomers are more stable than the para-isomers, and the ortho-isomers are the most sensitive.

Full-text indices are data structures that can be used to find any substring of a given string. Many full-text indices require space larger than the original string. In this paper, we introduce the canonical Huffman code to the wavelet tree of a string T[1. . .n]. Compared with Huffman code based wavelet tree, the memory space used to represent the shape of wavelet tree is not needed. In case of large alphabet, this part of memory is not negligible. The operations of wavelet tree are also simpler and more efficient due to the canonical Huffman code. Based on the resulting structure, the multi-key rank and select functions can be performed using at most nH0 + jRj(lglgn + lgn lgjRj)+O(nH0) bits and in O(H0) time for average cases, where H0 is the zeroth order empirical entropy of T. In the end, we present an efficient construction algorithm for this index, which is on-line and linear.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) have many new characteristics unlike tranditional network, such as centriclessness, mobility and multi-hop transmission, which invalidate conventional key managements. The fast development and successful application of trusted computing technology provide a potential solution to achieve effective authentication and trust evaluation. According to the VANET with self-organization, a new authentication and trust evaluation framework was proposed based on trusted computing technology, the concepts of "trusted attribute" and "trusted grade" were introduced, and the key management architecture as well as authentication process of mobile node were explained in detail. Moreover, the potential real application of the presented framework was discussed, and the trust evaluation method and its argumentation in the presented framework were given.

Density functional theory (DFT) method has been employed to study the effect of nitroamino group as a substituent in cyclopentane and cyclohexane, which usually construct the polycyclic or caged nitra-mines. Molecular structures were investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G** level, and isodesmic reactions were designed for calculating the group interactions. The results show that the group interactions ac-cord with the group additivity, increasing with the increasing number of nitroamino groups. The dis-tance between substituents influences the interactions. Detonation performances were evaluated by the Kamlet-Jacobs equations based on the predicted densities and heats of formation, while thermal stability and pyrolysis mechanism were studied by the computations of bond dissociation energy (BDE). It is found that the contributions of nitroamino groups to the detonation heat, detonation velocity, detonation pressure, and stability all deviate from the group additivity. Only 3a, 3b, and 9a-9c may be novel potential candidates of high energy density materials (HEDMs) according to the quantitative cri-teria of HEDM (ρ≈ 1.9 g/cm3, D ≈ 9.0 km/s, P ≈ 40.0 GPa). Stability decreases with the increasing number of N-NO2 groups, and homolysis of N-NO2 bond is the initial step in the thermolysis of the title com-pounds. Coupled with the demand of thermal stability (BDE > 20 kcal/mol), only 1,2,4-trinitrotriazacy-clohexane and 1,2,4,5-tetranitrotetraazacyclohexane are suggested as feasible energetic materials. These results may provide basic information for the molecular design of HEDMs.
