An artificial stock market is established based on multi-agent . Each agent has a limit memory of the history of stock price, and will choose an action according to his memory and trading strategy. The trading strategy of each agent evolves ceaselessly as a result of self-teaching mechanism....

The two phase behavior in financial markets actually means the bifurcation phenomenon, which represents the change of the conditional probability from an unimodal to a bimodal distribution. In this paper, the bifurcation phenomenon in Hang-Seng index is carefully investigated. It is observed...

We propose a new model of minority game with so-called smart agents such that the standard deviation and the total loss in this model reach the theoretical minimum values in the limit of long time. The smart agents use trail and error method to make a choice but bring global optimization to the...

In this article, we established a stock market model based on agents' investing mentality. The agents decide whether to purchase the shares at the probability, according to their anticipation of the market's behaviors. The expectation of the amount of shares they want to buy is directly...

Height premium has been revealed by extensive literature, however, evidence from China based on large-scale data remains still lacking. In this paper, we study how height conditions salary expectations by exploring a dataset covering over 140,000 Chinese job seekers. By using graphical and...

A Cu-1.3Ni-1.2Co-0.7Si-0.3Cr-0.1Mg alloy with high strength and high conductivity was designed and prepared in this work. The effects of multistage thermomechanical treatment on the microstructure and properties of the alloy and its strengthening mechanism were studied. The results showed that a...

Mechanical treatment has been widely used to modify the surface properties of nature pyrite minerals and improve their catalytic performances; however, the mechanistic relationship still keeps unclear. In this study, we have systematically investigated the effect of milling speed treatment on...

For cost and safety reasons, aqueous batteries are suitable for large-scale energy storage. Among all aqueous batteries, the rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising choices owing to the low equilibrium potential and high volumetric capacity of zinc. However, its development...

Exciplex has long been recognized as a mixture of donor and acceptor components. Here, for the first time, it was demonstrated that exciplex emission can also be achieved by single pure molecule, we named it as homojunction exciplex (ho-exciplex). By using the flexible alkyl chain to link the...
