Guo Xi DUAN(Guo Xi DUAN ),Hisashi TANIZAKI(Hisashi TANIZAKI ) 한국유통과학회 2022 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.9 No.9

This paper studies market efficiency from a weak form aspect using opening and closing prices of the Shanghai stock exchange composite index (SSEC) and Shenzhen stock exchange composite index (SZSEC) under the expected return theory. Classical methods (autocorrelation and runs test) are used to examine the features of stock returns, and little evidence against mutual independence of returns is found. We predict daily returns of SSEC and SZSEC with AR(p) and VAR(p) models (in this paper, p = 5 is taken as a one-week lag) and perform a virtual experiment on two indexes based on the predicted value of daily returns from AR(p) or VAR(p) model. From the results of AR(p) and VAR(p) for two indexes, we attempt to find out how the market efficiency level changes when the information from the other market is under consideration as we check the market efficiency level in one market. We find that SSEC in 2014–2016 and SZSEC in 2015–2016 are inefficient from the result of autocorrelation, that SSEC in 2016 and SZSEC in 2013 are not efficient from the result of runs test, that the stock market is efficient except 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2017 in SSEC and 2005, 2016 and 2017 in SZSEC and that SSEC is more influenced by SZSEC but SSEC influences SZSEC less from the result of the virtual experiment.

Silk fibers spun by the silk gland of Antheraea pernyi have many unique properties and are of great value in genetic improvement and non-traditional applications. However, the complete transcriptional landscape and accurate genic annotation of the silk gland are yet to be conducted, which limits related studies on this organ. In this study, isoform sequencing revealed the full-length transcriptome of the A. pernyi silk gland, producing 12,572 high-confidence isoforms from 7,658 genes, among which more than 40 % of genes have not yet been annotated in the reference genome. Moreover, approximately 9 % of isoforms are computationally identified as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Up to 1,492 alternative splicing (AS) and 3,068 alternative polyadenylation (APA) events were revealed within this transcriptome. In addition, 2,569 putative transcription factors (TFs) belonging to 68 different families were first identified in A. pernyi genome, including 871 TFs in silk gland, and some TF families have undergone expansion or contraction. This study significantly improve our knowledge of the genes expressed in the silk gland of A. pernyi and provide a valuable resource for the in-depth study of silk protein synthesis and spinning, genetic improvement, and non-traditional applications in A. pernyi.

Three-dimensional dynamics of vortex-induced vibration of a pipe with internal flow in the subcritical and supercritical regimes

Duan, Jinlong,Chen, Ke,You, Yunxiang,Wang, Renfeng,Li, Jinlong The Society of Naval Architects of Korea 2018 International Journal of Naval Architecture and Oc Vol.10 No.6

The Three-dimensional (3-D) dynamical behaviors of a fluid-conveying pipe subjected to vortex-induced vibration are investigated with different internal flow velocity ${\nu}$. The values of the internal flow velocity are considered in both subcritical and supercritical regimes. During the study, the 3-D nonlinear equations are discretized by the Galerkin method and solved by a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The results indicate that for a constant internal flow velocity ${\nu}$ in the subcritical regime, the peak Cross-flow (CF) amplitude increases firstly and then decrease accompanied by amplitude jumps with the increase of the external reduced velocity. While two response bands are observed in the In-line (IL) direction. For the dynamics in the lock-in condition, 3-D periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic vibrations are observed. A variety of CF and IL responses can be detected for different modes with the increase of ${\nu}$. For the cases studied in the supercritical regime, the dynamics shows a great diversity with that in the subcritical regime. Various dynamical responses, which include 3-D periodic, quasi-periodic as well as chaotic motions, are found while both CF and IL responses are coupled while ${\nu}$ is beyond the critical value. Besides, the responses corresponding to different couples of ${\mu}_1$ and ${\mu}_2$ are obviously distinct from each other.

Blind Separation of Permuted Alias Image with Motion Blurred Using Image Enhancement in NSCT Domain

DUAN Xin-tao,WANG Jing-juan,PENG Tao,LI Fei-fei,LIU Shang-Wang,LIU Tuan-ning 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.9 No.3

Focused on the issue that motion blurred permuted alias image blind separation, an algorithm using image enhancement based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) domain was proposed. Firstly, permuted alias image was decomposed into low-frequency sub-band and high-frequency sub-bands, which were obtained by spare decomposition based on NSCT domain. Coefficients of high-frequency sub-bands were enhanced according to Bayesian shrinkage threshold and nonlinear gain function, and the enhanced version was got by this method. Then the permuted alias image and the enhanced version were blocked, the correlation coefficients were estimated by each corresponding sub-block, because the permuting image was changed larger, the permuting image could be separated by using threshold method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can separate the permuting image effectively from the permuted alias image in spite of the motion blurred direction, blur degree, size, location and the number of permuting image.

Duan, Yishan,Kim, Gyeong-Hwuii,Kim, Han-Soo The Korean Society of Applied Science and Technolo 2015 한국응용과학기술학회지 Vol.32 No.4

In Korea, yam with thermal treatment is widely used to produce tea and beverage, which appeals to all age groups. To better understand the antioxidative activity of thermal treatment yam (Dioscorea batatas $D_{ECNE.}$), n-butanol and ethyl acetate extracts were evaluated with different antioxidant testing system. Their antioxidant activities, including ABTS [2,2' -azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] radical scavenging activity, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and ferric reducing antioxidant power as well as total phenol contents were assessed in vitro. Results showed ethyl acetate extract ($51.63{\pm}2.51mg\;CAE/g$) possessed similar total phenol content compared with n-butanol extract ($53.93{\pm}1.00mg\;CAE/g$). Ethyl acetate extract also exhibited similarly stronger antioxidant activity compared with n-butanol extract apart from ABTS radical scavenging activity assay.

Duan, Hongzhou,Lee, Yongju 한국디지털융합학회 2017 디지털경영연구 Vol.4 No.2

Linked Data can perform expressive query capabilities over the aggregated Web of data, similarly to how a relational database is queried. Smartphone’ multimedia, sensing, and communication capabilities provide the best environment in which to create easily new and superior mashup content combined with Linked Data. This paper describes a novel geospatial semantic mobile mashup system based on Google Map and Location APIs. It provides mashups of Google Map and DBpedia based on users’ current location, display surrounding DBpedia objects, and links to search for additional semantic information. DBpedia is emerging as the core of LOD (Linked Open Data), which is gathering information based on Wikipedia and using it to develop the large scale Big Data. Developed semantic mobile mashups are able to find the desired place of your current location through GPS, and access the semantic information easily in the self-developed Linked Data browser.

Duan, Yishan,Kim, Gyeong-Hwuii,Kim, Han-Soo The Korean Society of Applied Science and Technolo 2016 한국응용과학기술학회지 Vol.33 No.2

The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of Korean yam (Dioscorea batatas $D_{ECNE.}$) by different extraction solvents including 70% methanol, 70% ethanol and chloroform-methanol mixture (CM, 2:1, v/v). Raw yam was analyzed for its color property, total phenol content and antioxidant activity. Yam possessed high $L^*$ value and $H^{\circ}$ value, which were $81.64{\pm}2.59$ and $83.36{\pm}0.15$, respectively. Raw yam was found to have great antioxidant activity evaluated through ABTS [2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] radical scavenging activity, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Total phenol contents of various extracts from raw yam increased in the following order: 70% methanol extract ($37.62{\pm}0.88mg\;CAE/g$), 70% ethanol extract ($43.38{\pm}0.66mg\;CAE/g$) and CM extract ($67.17{\pm}0.12mg\;CAE/g$), respectively. The same trend was also could be found in the ABTS radical scavenging activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power assays. These results implied that Korean yam might play an important role in antioxidation and serve as the bio-health functional food to take a good part in prevention of human diseases and aging.

Duan Jianping,Liang Shimei,Zhu Zhenni,Yang Xinfeng,Li Ying,Xu Xin,Wang Jiazhen,Zhu Xuwei,Yao Lunguang 한국응용곤충학회 2023 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.26 No.2

Antheraea pernyi is an edible insect with important economic value in both traditional and non-traditional ap plications. Elucidating the details of gene expression variation among different A. pernyi larval tissues will greatly improve our knowledge about A. pernyi biology and promote its protection and breeding. Here, tissue-based transcriptome and gene co-expression network analysis were performed for the fifth-instar larval tissues of testis, midgut, Malpighian tubule, head, trachea, silk gland, integument, hemocyte, ovary, and fat body. A total of 1,991 tissue-associated genes, including 62 transcription factor-encoding genes, were correlated with the development and functions of these tissues. Moreover, 10 gene co-expression modules that were highly corre lated with the tissues were also determined. The most important 30 genes with top connectivity in each module were identified as hub genes to form the core co-expression network with important biological functions in the corresponding tissues. Based on these resources, further in-depth studies should be conducted to determine the roles of candidate genes and transcription factors governing tissue development and trait formation in A. pernyi.

Tuning the acidity of sulfonic functionalized ionic liquids for highly efficient and selective synthesis of terpene esters

Duan-Jian Tao,Yan Dong,Zhi-Jun Cao,Feng-Feng Chen,Xiang-Shu Chen,Kuan Huang 한국공업화학회 2016 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.41 No.-

A series of sulfonic functionalized ionic liquids (SFILs) with different acidity were designed and preparedfor the synthesis of terpene esters (e.g. geranyl acetate). The effect of acidity of SFILs on their performancewas investigated systematically. It is found that tuning the acidity of SFILs to an appropriate value resultsin not only high conversion of geraniol but also superior selectivity of geranyl acetate. The SFILs can beeasily separated from products byfiltration under room temperature, thus showing good reusability. Furthermore, the kinetics for SFILs in the esterification of geraniol were determined as the basis for futureprocess design.
