A new torsion-rotation fitting program for molecules with a sixfold barrier: Application to the microwave spectrum of toluene

A new program is described for fitting rotation-torsion energy levels in molecules like toluene, in which the frame (C₆H₅) has C_2v symmetry and the methyl top has C_3v symmetry, i.e., for molecules where the internal rotation barrier is expanded in cos6nα, where α is the internal rotation angle and n = 1,2,…. The program is based on the theoretical framework developed by Sørensen and Pedersen in their application of the Longuet-Higgins permutation-inversion group G₁₂ to the microwave spectrum of CH₃NO₂. It is specifically designed for sixfold barrier molecules, and allows the user to select almost any symmetry-allowed torsion-rotation term for inclusion in the fitting Hamiltonian. This program leads to a very successful fit of transitions in the microwave spectrum of toluene characterized by J ? 30, K_a ? 12, and by the free-rotor quantum number ∣m∣ ? 3. In these fits we included both published and rather extensive unpublished new measurements, for which fits using other torsion-rotation programs have not been very successful. The fit presented here uses 28 parameters to give an overall standard deviation of 7.4 kHz for 372 line frequencies, and results in a much improved value for the sixfold barrier for toluene, V₆ = 13.832068(3) cal mol⁻¹.

ON THE EXPECTED DISCOUNTED PENALTY FUNCTION IN A MARKOV-DEPENDENT RISK MODEL WITH CONSTANT DIVIDEND BARRIER

This article considers a Markov-dependent risk model with a constant dividend barrier. A system of integro-differential equations with boundary conditions satisfied by the expected discounted penalty function, with given initial environment state, is derived and solved. Explicit formulas for the discounted penalty function are obtained when the initial surplus is zero or when all the claim amount distributions are from rational family. In two state model, numerical illustrations with exponential claim amounts are given.     

Particle tunneling and scattering in a three-dimensional potential with a barrier

The particle tunneling through a 3-D rectangular potential barrier has been studied. The simplest model for multiple internal reflections has been assumed. The explicit expression for all the transmission and reflection probability amplitudes have been derived, as well as the tunneling and reflection phase times.

On the entropic perturbation and exponential penalty methods for linear programming

This note points out that the recently proposed exponential penalty approach to linear programming is identical to the well-known entropic perturbation approach. The primal and dual trajectories provided by these two approaches are shown to be equivalent.The work of the first author was supported partially by the North Carolina Supercomputing Center and 1995 Cray Research Grant.     

Reduction of AC losses applying novel resistive interfilamentary carbonate barriers in multifilamentary Bi(2223) tapes

Hysteresis losses and coupling losses, a main component of the AC losses in Bi(2223) tapes, can effectively be reduced by enhancing the resistivity of the matrix material between the filaments and applying a filament twist. Since through alloying the sheath, as using AgAu(8 wt.%), the resistivity can only be raised by a factor <10 (77 K), a new conductor configuration with a quite novel composite matrix having resistive SrCO₃ barriers inside the Ag matrix between the filaments was developed. These new barriers, a cheap and commercial material, withstand the tape annealing, do not react with the superconductor, sinter dense and have a good bonding to Ag. Applying two different preparation techniques for 19 filament prototype tapes, critical current densities up to 20.7 kA cm⁻² were achieved. We report on tape preparation, the effect on the phase texture and the superconducting properties of such barrier tapes.     

压力对聚苯胺导电性的影响

 导电高聚物聚苯胺薄膜经过定向拉伸后，其有序度、电导及跃迁势垒都发生了很大变化。本文研究了准静水压力对定向拉伸前后，聚苯胺薄膜电学性质的影响。发现未定向拉伸的聚苯胺薄膜的电导随压力单调增加，跃迁势垒T₀随压力单调减少，而定向拉伸后的聚苯胺薄膜则在0.47 GPa出现电导的极大值，在0.35~0.71 GPa之间出现T₀的极小值，这个异常行为与聚乙炔、聚噻吩等导电高聚物均不相同。     

Microdischarges Near Metal–Insulator Interfaces

Some statistical features of microdischarges running near the metal-insulator interfaces have been discussed. The study has verified an exponential character of statistical distributions of the time intervals between microdischarge pulses, power-law distribution of voltage peaks of these pulses (height of pulses) and very weak correlation effects among pulses, i.e. weak time-height correlation, time autocorrelation and height autocorrelation. A statistical parameter of the power law distribution of the heights of microdischarge pulses proved to be sensitive to the voltage load of the insulating interface metal-insulator.
