Only recently a new stylised fact of economic growth has been introduced, the bimodal shape of the distribution of per capita income or the twin-peaked nature of that distribution. Drawing on the Summers/Hestons Penn World Table 5.6 (1991) we determine kernel density distributions which are able to detect the aforementioned twin peaked structure and show that the world income distribution start...

β-glucan (BG) and mulberry have received increasing attention for their benefits as natural sources of metabolic health. In the current study, we investigated the synergetic beneficial effects of BG and mulberry leaf extract (MLE) in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Male C57BL6 mice were fed a HFD for twelve weeks to induce significant obesity and insulin resistance. BG and MLE were administrate...

Through a synergetic combination of anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory based calculations, we have investigated the extent to which the aluminum moieties within selected magnesium-aluminum clusters are Zintl anions. Magnesium-aluminum cluster anions were generated in a pulsed arc discharge source. After mass selection, photoelectron spectra of MgmAln (-) (m, n = 1,6;...

Abstract Synergetic neural network (SNN) associates synergetics with artificial neural network, it can rigorously deal with the behavior of network in the mathematical theory, and have the advantage of fast learning, short pattern recalling time and so on. In this paper, a pattern recognition method based on the self-adaptive attention parameters presented on the basis of analyzing the key tech...

There are new changes and features existing in the regional logistics system and regional economic system under the background of industrial transfer. On one hand, the two influence each other. On the other hand, the two also adapt to each other. From the organizational perspective of synergetic theory, the research regards the regional logistics system and regional economic system as a whole s...

The synergetic effect of four octaphenyl polyoxyethyienes (TX) on low temperature flotation of scheelite at 9–11 ◦C was investigated through flotation experiments, and the adsorption mechanism was studied by way of surface tension, zeta potential, and adsorption measurement. The results show that the presence of the four octaphenyl polyoxyethyienes can improve scheelite flotation in a low conce...

Hydrogen storage and release are two essential parameters that define the efficiency of a hydrogen storage medium. Herein, we investigate the effects of the external electric field F on the adsorption-desorption of H2 on a Ca-decorated silicene system (Ca-silicene) based on density functional theory calculations. Our study demonstrates that nine H2 molecules per Ca atom can be adsorbed and 6.4 ...
