On the tensor operators in parallelizable spaces

The tensor-operators over parallelizable spaces are defined. Their Hermitian conjugation is defined by introducing an inner product based on the tensor-integral Some properties of the ordinary operators are generalized for the tensor-operators     

Dynamics and Correlates of Microscopic Changes in Affect

How are momentary microscopic assessments of behavioral dynamics related to traditional macroscopic, static measures? The present study used the computerized “mouse paradigm” to assess near-instantaneous changes in affect over a short time. Dynamic indices were computed from approximately 1400 measurements from the last 2.5 minutes of a 3-minute assessment. Subjects monitored and reported emotional states by moving a cursor along a dimension from “Sadder” to “Happier.” They also completed self-report measures: Scales 2 (Depression) and 9 (Mania) of the MMPI-2, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and the Wisconsin scales of Physical Anhedonia and Hypomanic traits. The instantaneous data yielded a summary measure of mean affect, as well as indices of variability. Complexity indices were derived and examined. Mean affect ratings correlated in expected directions with the paper and pencil measures. There was evidence for low-dimensional chaos in short-term affect dynamics. As hypothesized, greater complexity was associated with Pleasant Affect and Hypomania but was negatively correlated with Anhedonia.     

Non-leptonic hadron decays and field algebra (I). Parity violating amplitudes

This paper describes the application to parity-violating non-leptonic decays of a model of weak interactions, based on the algebra of fields definition of the hadron currents that participate in weak interactions. Symmetry breaking effects are included, octet dominance is built in explicitly and a careful treatment is given of the diagonalization procedure needed to identify the physical 0⁻ and 1^± fields. Agreement with experiment comparable to that of K^∗ pole and current algebra models is achieved.     

Methods for the structural investigation of xanthones: Part II. Location of hydroxyl groups by ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy1

Ultraviolet spectral shifts in presence of certain additives may be used to determine the hydroxylation pattern of xanthones. Thus, 3-hydroxyxanthones are characterized by an intense band around 355 nm which appears in presence of sodium hydroxide, o- and p-Dihydroxyxanthones decompose in presence of this reagent, the reaction rate depending on the position of the substituents. While the spectra of 1-and 2-hydroxyxanthones do not suffer modification in presence of sodium acetate, 3- and 4-hydroxy groups produce typical shifts which are dependent on the presence of additional oxygen functions. The spectra of 1-hydroxy-, as well as of o-dihydroxyxanthones, are affected by the addition of aluminum chloride. 1- and 4-Hydroxy groups with unsubstituted p-positions may be detected and distinguished through the visible spectrum (350–750 nm) of the reaction product of the xanthone with 2,6-dichlorobenzoquinone chloroimide (Gibbs test). Relatively acidic hydroxyls give rise to two maxima in this region. Two maxima, even if of different relative intensity, are also obtained with o- and p-dihydroxy-, as well as with o- and p-hydroxyallylxanthones.     

Rotational spectra of vibrationally excited CCH and CCD

The millimeter-wave rotational spectra of the lowest bending and stretching vibrational levels of CCH and CCD were observed in a low pressure discharge through acetylene and helium. The rotational, centrifugal distortion, and fine structure constants were determined for the (02(0)0) and (02(2)0) bending states, the (100) and (001) stretching levels, and the (011) combination level of CCH. The same pure bending and stretching levels, and the (110) combination level were observed in CCD. Apparent anomalies in the spectroscopic constants in the bending states were shown to be due to l-type resonances. Hyperfine constants, which in CCH are sensitive to the degree of admixture of the A 2Pi excited electronic state, were determined in the excited vibrational levels of both isotopic species. Theoretical Fermi contact and dipole-dipole hyperfine constants calculated by Peric et al. [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 150, 70 (1991)] were found to be in excellent agreement with the measured constants. In CCD, new rotational lines tentatively assigned to the (100) level largely on the basis of the observed hyperfine structure support the assignment of the C-H stretching fundamental (nu1) by Stephens et al. [J. Mol. Struct. 190, 41 (1988)]. Rotational lines in the excited vibrational levels of CCH are fairly intense in our discharge source because the vibrational excitation temperatures of the bending vibrational levels and the (110) and (011) combination levels are only about 100 K higher than the gas kinetic temperature, unlike the higher frequency stretching vibrations, where the excitation temperatures are five to ten times higher.     

多光子过程中相位退相干时两原子布局数反转

利用全量子理论的方法,研究了存在相位退相干时多光子T-C模型中两个二能级原子与二项式光场相互作用系统中两原子的布居数反转。讨论了相位退相干系数、二项式光场系数、最大光子数、跃迁光子数对原子布居数反转的影响。结果表明：相位退相干减少了原子布居数反转的振幅、破坏了原子的量子特性。改变跃迁光子数,可以改变原子间布居数反转演化周期及演化强度。当二项式光场的最大光子数增大时,原子布居差的崩塌-回复现象就会逐渐消失。相位退相干因子不变时, 二项式光场从相干态过渡到数态过程中,原子布居的振荡频率由大变小,周期性的崩塌与回复现象逐渐消失。     

The First Principles Investigations of the Thermoelectric Properties of GaN with p- and n-Type Doping

We investigate the thermoelectric properties of GaN with p-and n-type doping by the first principles calculation and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. We find that the power factors (S2σof p-type GaN (-3500 W/mK2) is about twice that of the n-type (-1750 W/mK2), which indicates the thermoelectric properties of p-type GaN would be better. Thermal conductivity of GaN crystal decreases rapidly as the temperature increases, but it is still too large for thermoelectric applications. The figure of merit (ZT) estimated at 1500 K is 0.134 for p-type GaN crystal and 0.062 for the n-type.
