扩展桥联双核铜(Ⅱ)体系的磁耦合机理

应用密度泛函理论,采用对称性破损方法研究了草酸根桥联及草酰胺桥联双核铜（Ⅱ）体系的磁耦合作用机理.结果表明:两磁中心的自旋布居大小相等,符号相反,二者之间为反铁磁耦合.而且,与磁中心相联的配体原子与磁中心具有相同符号的自旋布居,磁中心的自旋具有显著的离域效应.HOMO中磁中心未成对电子的占据轨道之间对称性和能级的匹配程度是影响磁耦合强弱的关键.当对称性匹配时,改变桥联基团占据轨道的能级,例如通过改变桥接原子的电负性,即可改变磁耦合作用的强度,电负性愈低,磁耦全作用愈强.当对称性不匹配时,体系中存在较弱的磁耦合.

International Evidence on GFC‐Robust Forecasts for Risk Management under the Basel Accord

A risk management strategy designed to be robust to the global financial crisis (GFC), in the sense of selecting a value‐at‐risk (VaR) forecast that combines the forecasts of different VaR models, was proposed by McAleer and coworkers in 2010. The robust forecast is based on the median of the point VaR forecasts of a set of conditional volatility models. Such a risk management strategy is robust to the GFC in the sense that, while maintaining the same risk management strategy before, during and after a financial crisis, it will lead to comparatively low daily capital charges and violation penalties for the entire period. This paper presents evidence to support the claim that the median point forecast of VaR is generally GFC robust. We investigate the performance of a variety of single and combined VaR forecasts in terms of daily capital requirements and violation penalties under the Basel II Accord, as well as other criteria. In the empirical analysis we choose several major indexes, namely French CAC, German DAX, US Dow Jones, UK FTSE100, Hong Kong Hang Seng, Spanish Ibex 35, Japanese Nikkei, Swiss SMI and US S&P 500. The GARCH, EGARCH, GJR and RiskMetrics models as well as several other strategies, are used in the comparison. Backtesting is performed on each of these indexes using the Basel II Accord regulations for 2008–10 to examine the performance of the median strategy in terms of the number of violations and daily capital charges, among other criteria. The median is shown to be a profitable and safe strategy for risk management, both in calm and turbulent periods, as it provides a reasonable number of violations and daily capital charges. The median also performs well when both total losses and the asymmetric linear tick loss function are considered Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Endomannosidase processes oligosaccharides of α1-antitrypsin and its naturally occurring genetic variants in the Golgi apparatus

Endomannosidase provides an alternate glucose-trimming pathway in the Golgi apparatus. However, it is unknown if the action of endomannosidase is dependent on the conformation of the substrate. We have investigated the processing by endomannosidase of the α1-antitrypsin oligosaccharides and its disease-causing misfolded Z and Hong Kong variants. Oligosaccharides of wild-type and misfolded α1-antitrypsin expressed in castanospermine-treated hepatocytes or glucosidase II-deficient Phar 2.7 cells were selectively processed by endomannosidase and subsequently converted to complex type oligosaccharides as indicated by Endo H resistance and PNGase F sensitivity. Overexpression of endomannosidase in castanospermine-treated hepatocytes resulted in processing of all oligosaccharides of wild-type and variants of α1-antitrypsin. Thus, endomannosidase does not discriminate the folding state of the substrate and provides a back-up mechanism for completion of N-glycosylation of endoplasmic reticulum-escaped glucosylated glycoproteins. For exported misfolded glycoproteins, this would provide a pathway for the formation of mature oligosaccharides important for their proper trafficking and correct functioning.
