    Notes: Chinese homeownership rates in the Los Angeles Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area adjusted by socioeconomic and housing market characteristics are, on average, 18 percentage points higher than those of native white households. This finding runs contrary to most immigration literature, which suggests that immigrants usually lag behind the host society in measures of economic well-being. This study focuses on two additional factors, which most economic studies of homeownership choice ignore, that may play a role in helping Chinese households achieve high homeownership in ways that other immigrant groups do not. The results of this analysis find that the high homeownership rates cannot be explained by the English skills of households. The cultural influence of homeowning peers may have partially contributed to the higher homeownership of Chinese households. While living in ethnic Chinese communities lowers homeownership rates, in general, it helps improve the likelihood that Chinese immigrants will own a home. Finally, we find that there is great diversity among Chinese subgroups with respect to their likelihood of owning a home, but very little diversity with respect to the education and income level of Chinese households across subgroups.

    Notes: With excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance of films, simple procedures, highproduction efficiency and being environmentally friendly, micro-arc oxidation has become a noveltechnique to produce ceramic coatings on the surfaces of light metals such as aluminum and its alloys.In order to decrease the electric power consumption during the process, we put forward a improvedtechnique of micro-arc oxidation, and introduce its technical properties and treatment effects on thesurfaces of aluminum. The experimental results show that the properties, such as phase structure,thickness, roughness and hardness of the ceramic coating prepared by improved micro-arc oxidationare similar to those prepared by traditional micro-arc oxidation. The micro-arc oxidation with higherdeposition efficiency will be an important research direction in the future

    Notes: Cavitaion erosion behavior of cast iron in water and in mixed solution of 50% H2O+50%C2H6O2 with different temperature and distance between two samples have been studied by meansof a ultrasonic vibrator. The mass loss of the samples at different time is recorded.The surfacestructure of the oxidation films on the surface of cast iron was analyzed by X-ray diffractionapparatus. The experimental results show that mass loss of the upper sample is more than that of thelower sample. The maximum of mass loss occurred when the distance between the samples is about1.0mm. Oxidation films form on the surface of the cast iron in pure water and cannot form on thesurface of cast iron in mixed solution. The XRD results show that the oxidation film mainly consistsof Fe2O3 phase at 50°C, Fe3O4 phase at 80°C. The mass loss at 50°C is less than that at 80°C.Oxidation film of Fe2O3 phase has some advantages to decelerate the cavitation erosion. Mass lossof the sample of cast iron in mixed solution is less than that in pure water at 80°C. Thisphenomenon indicates that formation of the oxidation films plays a more important role incavitation erosion to reduce or increase mass loss of the cast iron samples

    Notes: Sliding experiments lubricated with hydroxyl silicate magnesium particles as additivewere performed under ambient condition and different loads by using an AMSLER friction andwear tester. The surface topographies and compositions of worn surface of 45 steel rings wereanalyzed by SEM and EDAX. The experimental results show that the friction load had great effecton generation of the frictionally-formed protective coating. No protective coating formed on theworn steel surface under lower friction load. However, a smooth and continuous protective coatingcan be developed on the worn surface of the steel when the friction load is high enough. Thechemical composition of the protective coating is roughly the same as the additive. The additive canbe fractured, stretched and flowed along the sliding direction under high contacting stress andinstantaneous flash temperature, which result in coating being formed

    Notes: Abstract A method for constructing the suitable initial configuration of the membrane-protein system for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is presented. This method could provide some hydrated initial configurations and help us to determine the best surface area of the system by contracting the surface area and comparing the optimized lowest energy of the system by energy minimization. The gramicidin A (GA) channel in;the fully hydrated dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayer was used as our model. Three configurations with different surface areas were selected and applied for one 400 ps and two 300 ps MD simulations at constant pressure and temperature. All simulations were fairly stable without any constraints. Through analysis of the MD trajectories we found that the system with the best surface area was more stable than the other two systems, whose sizes were changed in the simulations. Further analysis of the bilayer normal length and the order parameters of the lipid alkyl tails indicates that the system with the best surface area shows some characteristics of the Lα phase, while both the smaller and the larger size systems have distinct deviations from the Lα phase that we expect. This illustrates that the correct surface area and the suitable initial configuration have an important influence on the phase of the membrane in the MD simulation. In addition, by comparing the root mean square differences of GA relative to the initial structure and interaction energy between different components of the system for all three systems, we find that the state of the DMPC bilayer has exerted a significant influence on the structure of GA. All these results demonstrate the validity of our method for constructing the initial configuration of the membrane-protein system for MD simulations.

    Notes: Abstract. To investigate the process of ion permeation in an ion channel systematically, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on a gramicidin A (GA)-phospholipid model system with an ion in the channel pore region. Each of the three types of ions (Ca2+, Na+, Cl–) was placed at five different positions along the channel axis by replacing a water molecule. MD simulations were performed on each system at constant pressure and constant temperature. The MD trajectories showed that the Ca2+ and Na+ ions could stably fluctuate in the pore region, but the Cl– ion was pushed out because of the unfavorable interaction with the channel. This result is consistent with experimental data. It was also found that the conformation of the GA channel underwent a significant change due to the presence of the ion, and the two ends of the GA monomer were more flexible than its middle region. In particular, the dramatic change of local pore radius near the ion indicated this kind of deformation. The strong interaction between the ion and carbonyl oxygen atoms of GA was the major contributor to this change. Furthermore, it was found that the ethanolamine group of the GA molecule was the most flexible group in the GA channel and often observed to block the entrance of GA. These results imply that the deformation of channel structure plays a very important factor in ion permeation, and the ethanolamine group may play a key role in regulating ion entry into the pore. In conclusion, our results indicate that the ion has a dominant influence on the structure of the GA channel and that the flexibility of the ion channel is a crucial factor in the ion permeation process.
