To the ray tomography problem for creeping waves

This paper justifies the necessity of introducing corrections for the ray curvature into the standard procedure of the tomographic inversion in the case of using traveltime data for the creeping waves. The results of relevant numerical experiments are presented. Bibliography: 3 titles. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 218, 1994, pp 67–71.

The Potts model representation and a Robinson–Schensted correspondence for the partition algebra

We construct a correspondence between the set of partitions of a finite set M and the set of pairs of walks to the same vertex on a graph giving the Bratteli diagram of the partition algebra on M. This is the precise analogue of the correspondence between the set of permutations of a finite set and the set of pairs of Young tableaux of the same shape, called the Robinson–Schensted correspondence.     

类铜离子的电子碰撞参数及其规律

用准相对论扭曲波方法系统地计算了Ｂａ、Ｎｄ、Ｇｄ、Ｙｂ、Ａｕ、Ｐｂ类铜离子组态能级之间的电子碰撞激发强度Ω（ｎｌ－ｎｌ），３≤ｎ≤７，４≤ｎ≤７，同时给出了高能极限的碰撞强度和外推到阈值的碰撞强度，用最小二乘样条方法拟合了全能域碰撞强度及热平均速率系数。对于一个激发过程，用１０个参数可以得到碰撞电子在任意能量下的碰撞强度以及任意温度下的速率系数。     

New derivatives of coumarin: 2-(N-R-imino)-2H-1-benzopyrans

Methods of synthesizing previously unknown derivatives of coumarin — 2-(N-R-imino)-2H-1-benzopyrans, where R = Alk, Ar — are proposed. Possibilities of alternative synthetic schemes are discussed, and hypotheses concerning probable mechanisms of the reactions are formulated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 760–766, June, 1994.

Thermal activation of complexation reaction on aerosil surface

The influence of temperature in the 20–100°C range on processes of bimolecular interaction in the aerosil-phenanthrene-trinitrobenzene system has been studied. Temperature-stimulated CTC accumulation on the surface is found. Activation energies of complex formation are estimated. Quenching of phenanthrene fluorescence by acceptor has a mixed static and dynamic character.     

The Assessment of Reservation Prices of an Intermediate R&D Result and Patent Reward Under Oligopolistic Competitive Behaviour

One of the shortcomings of R&D evaluation is a lack of emphasis on analytical assessment of the value of an on-going R&D project. This paper addresses the problem concerning the distributive aspect of access to superior knowledge. Decision tree analysis and probability models appear to be appropriate tools for assessing the values of an intermediate result and patent reward of a firm's R&D decision in an environment of perfect information and oligopolistic competition. The assessed values are used as minimum prices acceptable to the firm when the knowledge is disseminated to the public. This paper will attempt to resolve this problem through the determination of the appropriate values of the reservation price of the first-stage invention in terms of the final reward and of a patent reward for which the inventor is willing to apply.     

Direct SCF structure optimization of large molecules on networks of workstations

A program to optimize the structure of large molecules at the Hartree–Fock level of theory running concurrently on a network of workstations is presented. Problems encountered in obtaining nearly optimal speedup and their solutions are discussed. A simple scheduling algorithm is presented that enables up to 99.5% of the code to run in parallel. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
