Finsler spaces with Riemannian geodesics

In Finsler spaces the intervalds=F(x ⁱ ,dx ⁱ ) is an arbitrary function of the coordinatesx ⁱ and coordinate incrementsdx ⁱ withF homogeneous of degree one in thedx ⁱ . It is shown that for Riemannian spacesds _R ²=g _ij dx ⁱ dx ⁱ which admit a non trivial covariantly constant tensorH _i .(x ^k ) there is an associated Finsler space with the same geodesic structure. The subset of such Finsler spaces withH _i .(x ^k ) a vector or second rank decomposable tensor is determined.     

Thee + e −→¯nn cross section predicted remarkably larger than thee + e −→¯pp one

It is shown that all global analyses of nucleon electromagnetic form factor data predict the electron-positron annihilation into neutron-antineutron cross section (for which there are no data till now) to be in a finite energy region substantially larger than the electron-positron annihilation into the proton-antiproton one.Dedicated to the memory of M.

The structure of an Fe monolayer on the Ni (111) surface. A density-functional study using the generalized gradient approximation

Using a density-functional method that employs linear combinations of atomic orbitals as basis sets, nonlocal norm-conserving pseudopotentials and the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation, we found that at 0 K the atoms of an Fe monolayer on the Ni (111) surface occupy hcp rather than fcc sites, in keeping with previous predictions made using the ab initio all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method with the local spin density approximation.     

An attempt on the calculation of relativistic potential energy curves: Noble gas difluorides

Total energy SCF calculations were performed for noble gas difluorides in a relativistic procedure and compared with analogous non-relativistic calculations. The discrete variational method with numerical basis functions was used. Rather smooth potential energy curves could be obtained. The theoretical Kr-F and Xe-F bond distances were calculated to be 3.5 a.u. and 3.6 a.u. which should be compared with the experimental values of 3.54 a.u. and 3.7 a.u. Although the dissociation energies are off by a factor of about five it was found that ArF₂ may be a stable molecule. Theoretical ionization energies for the outer levels reproduce the experimental values for KrF₂ and XeF₂ to within 2 eV.     

A finite difference approach to the equations of age-dependent population dynamics

We establish the convergence of the finite difference scheme for the nonlinear equations of population dynamics proposed by Guertin and MacCamy. The applicability of the discrete equations to establish qualitative properties of the solution to the continuous problem is also illustrated.     

Sandwich Techniques in flow injection analysis : Part 1. Continuous recalibration techniques for process control

Flow injection methodology based on sample insertion between two different standard solutions used as carrier streams is described. This approach provides a simple system for continuous recalibration in process control; spectrophotometric and ion-selective electrode procedures are outlined.
