Blow-up of test fields near Cauchy horizons

The behaviour of test fields near a compact Cauchy horizon is investigated. It is shown that solutions of nonlinear wave equations on Taub spacetime with generic initial data cannot be continued smoothly to both extensions of the spacetime through the Cauchy horizon. This is proved using an energy method. Similar results are obtained for the spacetimes of Moncrief containing a compact Cauchy horizon and for more general matter models.Partially supported by NSF grant DMS 9003256 and Office of Naval Research grant ONR NO 014 92 J 1245.     

Quantum states of hydrogen transfer and vibration in malonaldehyde

New ab initio results on the 21D potential energy surface of malonaldehyde and a quantum mechanical treatment of the hydrogen transfer motion and its interaction with all vibrations are presented. An explicit approximate reaction path, close to the minimum energy path but matching the reactive normal mode near equilibrium, allows one to predict the ground state tunnelling frequency even when using small basis sets. With a barrier of 1144 cm^?1 (3.27kcal mol-¹) the tunnelling splitting is predicted to be 22.0cm^?1 for the parent species and 3.8 cm^?1 for the species deuterated in the hydrogen bond, in good agreement with the observed values 21.6 and 2.9 cm^?1, respectively. Predicted energy levels for excited states of the hydrogen transfer motion and for the non-reactive vibrations suggest a re-examination of the vibrational spectra and an extension of the number of vibrational factors in the basis set to improve the results for the vibrationally excited states.     

Shock Waves in Plane Symmetric Spacetimes

We consider Einstein's equations coupled to the Euler equations in plane symmetry, with compact spatial slices and constant mean curvature time. We show that for a wide variety of equations of state and a large class of initial data, classical solutions break down in finite time. The key mathematical result is a new theorem on the breakdown of solutions of systems of balance laws. We also show that an extension of the solution is possible if the spatial derivatives of the energy density and the velocity are bounded, indicating that the breakdown is really due to the formation of shock waves.     

The Spatially Homogeneous Relativistic Boltzmann Equation with a Hard Potential

In this paper, we study spatially homogeneous solutions of the Boltzmann equation in special relativity and in Robertson-Walker spacetimes. We obtain an analogue of the Povzner inequality in the relativistic case and use it to prove global existence theorems. We show that global solutions exist for a certain class of collision cross sections of the hard potential type in Minkowski space and in spatially flat Robertson-Walker spacetimes.     

Electrophysiological correlates of associative learning in smokers: a higher-order conditioning experiment

Background  

Classical conditioning has been suggested to play an important role in the development, maintenance, and relapse of tobacco smoking. Several studies have shown that initially neutral stimuli that are directly paired with smoking are able to elicit conditioned responses. However, there have been few human studies that demonstrate the contribution of higher-order conditioning to smoking addiction, although it is assumed that higher-order conditioning predominates learning in the outside world. In the present study a higher-order conditioning task was designed in which brain responses of smokers and non-smokers were conditioned by pairing smoking-related and neutral stimuli (CS1_smoke and CS1_neutral) with two geometrical figures (CS2_smoke and CS2_neutral). ERPs were recorded to all CSs.     

Microwave spectra and structure of an isoxazole-water complex

The rotational spectrum of a hydrogen-bonded isoxazole-water complex has been measured between 6–18 GHz with a pulsed nozzle Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. In addition to isoxazole-H₂O, the complexes with HDO and D₂O as well as isoxazole-¹⁵ N-H₂O have been investigated in order to determine the structure of the complex. Rotational constants, quartic centrifugal distortion constants and quadrupole coupling constants, where applicable, have been fitted to the measured transition frequencies of the isotopomers. Structural data, which have been deduced from the planar moments of inertia and the quadrupole coupling constants of the isotopomers, have established conclusively that water binds to nitrogen in the ring plane of isoxazole. Ab initio calculations have revealed that complexes with a hydrogen-bond to nitrogen or to oxygen are both stable. The complex with water attached to nitrogen has been found to be more strongly bound than that with water attached to oxygen. Small splittings of the rotational transitions of the two complexes with H₂O have been interpreted as being the result of an internal rotation of water with respect to isoxazole.     

Activation of the pre-supplementary motor area but not inferior prefrontal cortex in association with short stop signal reaction time – an intra-subject analysis

Background  

Our previous work described the neural processes of motor response inhibition during a stop signal task (SST). Employing the race model, we computed the stop signal reaction time (SSRT) to index individuals' ability in inhibitory control. The pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA), which shows greater activity in individuals with short as compared to those with long SSRT, plays a role in mediating response inhibition. In contrast, the right inferior prefrontal cortex (rIFC) showed greater activity during stop success as compared to stop error. Here we further pursued this functional differentiation of preSMA and rIFC on the basis of an intra-subject approach.
