Molecular Architectures Derived from Metal Ions and the Flexible 3,3′-Bipyridine Ligand: Unexpected Dimer with Hg(II) by Anupam Khutia, Pablo J. Sanz Miguel, Bernhard Lippert

“…The flexible ditopic ligand 3,3-bipyridine (3,3-bpy) has been reacted with a series of transition metal species (Ag+, Hg2+, cis-a2M2+ (a=NH3 or a2=en; M=Pt,Pd), trans-a2Pt2+ (a=NH3)) in an attempt to produce discrete cyclic constructs. While Ag+ gave a polymeric structure {[Ag(3,3-bpy)](ClO4) ⋅ H2O}𝑛 (1), with all other metal entities cyclic structures were formed. …”

Research on the Negative Externalities Evaluation for the Development of Weathered Crust Elution-Deposited Rare Earth Ores by Xu Ligang, Xu Meijuan

“…Then, the principle of external loss in the process of mining and separation of weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore is analyzed and an external loss evaluation system is constructed. In this system, the market value method, shadow engineering method, and labor cost method are mainly used to measure and calculate the industrial “three-waste” pollution control expenses, ecological environment repair cost, and negative external derivative management cost of weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore development. …”

An Improved CEEMDAN Time-Domain Energy Entropy Method for the Failure Mode Identification of the Rolling Bearing by Fengfeng Bie, Yi Miao, Fengxia Lyu, Jian Peng, Yue Guo

“…Then, the particular IMF components are selected according to the trend of correlation coefficient and variance contribution rate; meanwhile, the information entropy (power spectral entropy, singular spectral entropy, and time-domain energy entropy) of the screened IMF components is calculated to construct the feature vector sets, respectively. Finally, the feature vector sets are input into the PSO-SVM (particle swarm optimization-support vector machine) based model for training and pattern recognition. …”

Parallel association rules incremental mining algorithm based on information entropy and genetic algorithm by Yimin MAO, Qianhu DENG, Zhigang CHEN

“…Aiming at the problems that in the big data environment, the Can-tree based incremental association rule algorithm had problems such as too much space occupation of the tree structure, inability to dynamically set the support threshold, and too much time consumption during the data transfer process between the Map and Reduce stages, the Map Reduce-based parallel association rules incremental mining algorithm using information entropy and genetic algorithm (MR-PARIMIEG)was proposed.Firstly, a similar items merging based on information entropy (SIM-IE) was designed to merge similar data items, and a Can tree based on the merged data set was constructed, thereby reducing the space occupation of the tree structure.Secondly, the dynamic support threshold obtaining using genetic algorithm (DST-GA) was proposed to obtain the relatively optimal dynamic support threshold in the big data environment, and frequent itemset mining was performed according to this threshold to avoid the unnecessary time consumption caused by mining redundant frequent patterns.Finally, in the process of MapReduce parallel operation, the parallel LZO data compression algorithm was used to compress the output data of the Map stage, thereby reducing the size of the transmitted data, and finally improving the running speed of the algorithm.Experimental simulation results show that MR-PARIMIEG has better performance when mining frequent item sets in the big data environment, and it is suitable for parallel processing of larger data sets.…”
