Universal Inequalities for Eigenvalues of the Buckling Problem of Arbitrary Order
We investigate the eigenvalues of the buckling problem of arbitrary order on
compact domains in Euclidean spaces and spheres. We obtain universal bounds for
the th eigenvalue in terms of the lower eigenvalues independently of the
particular geometry of the domain.Comment: 24 page
Sn(II)-containing phosphates as optoelectronic materials
We theoretically investigate Sn(II) phosphates as optoelectronic materials
using first principles calculations. We focus on known prototype materials
SnPO (n=2, 3, 4, 5) and a previously unreported compound,
SnPO (n=1), which we find using global optimization structure
prediction. The electronic structure calculations indicate that these compounds
all have large band gaps above 3.2 eV, meaning their transparency to visible
light. Several of these compounds show relatively low hole effective masses
(2-3 m), comparable the electron masses. This suggests potential
bipolar conductivity depending on doping. The dispersive valence band-edges
underlying the low hole masses, originate from the anti-bonding hybridization
between the Sn 5s orbitals and the phosphate groups. Analysis of
structure-property relationships for the metastable structures generated during
structure search shows considerable variation in combinations of band gap and
carrier effective masses, implying chemical tunability of these properties. The
unusual combinations of relatively high band gap, low carrier masses and high
chemical stability suggests possible optoelectronic applications of these
Sn(II) phosphates, including p-type transparent conductors. Related to this,
calculations for doped material indicate low visible light absorption, combined
with high plasma frequencies.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, Supplementary informatio
Consumer Stated Preference for Acer Laptop from Online Reviews
Consumer preference is a hot topic in the domain of marking management and e-commerce. Many previous studies have been conducted in this field. Whereas, there are rarely studies building on the particular commodity such as laptop. Therefore, this study explores comprehensive features that affect consumer preference for laptops by mining the online reviews. Firstly, we collect 6531 online reviews for Acer laptop from Amazon.cn and code these reviews with Nvivo10. Secondly, we develop a feature-based consumer preference model named MCPL based on the review text analysis. Considering the data imbalance of the collected 6531 product reviews, we adopt a random cluster sampling method to extract 50 groups with 100 samples per group. Then the correspondent regression analyses are conducted for the 50 groups of reviews. Finally, the meta-analysis is creatively conducted to integrate the multiple liner regression results of different groups. According to the result of meta-analysis, we demonstrate dominant features on behalf of the consumer preference of laptop and draw practical implications for enterprise competition strategies to facilitate product design or improvement
