Experimental evidence of the vibrational coupling of nearest neighbours in 1D spin crossover polymers of rigid bridging ligands

The nuclear inelastic scattering signatures of the low spin centres of the methanosulphonate, tosylate and perchlorate salts of the spin crossover polymer ([Fe(II)(4-amino-1,2,4-triazole)₃]⁺²) _n have been compared for the pure low-spin phase, for the mixed high-spin and low-spin phases, as well as for Zn(II) diluted samples. Within this series a change in the spectral pattern in the 320–500 cm^?1 region is observed involving the decrease of the intensities of a band at ～320 cm^?1 and those over 400 cm^?1 as the molar fraction of the low-spin centres decreases. On the basis of the DFT calculations (B3LYP/CEP-31G) this effect is interpreted in terms of vibrational coupling of the iron centres of the same spin.

Ordered priority queues

A new data structure called ordered priority queue is introduced in this paper. Elements stored in the data structure have a primary order (key) and a secondary order (priority) associated with them. An ordered min-priority queue allows users to find the minimum priority element in any range (according to key order) inO(logn) time. Such a data structure withn elements can be created inO(n logn) time usingO(n) storage. A specific implementation based on median split trees is presented. Sequential access of the elements can be done inO(n log logn) time andO(logn) extra storage.This work was supported in part by NASA under grant NAG 5-739.

Low-dimension self-interstitial diffusion in α-Zr

The mobility of self-interstitials in α-zirconium (α-Zr) is studied with molecular dynamic (MD) and molecular static (MS) simulations, using Ackland’s many-body inter-atomic potential. The basal crowdion configuration is found to be the ground state. Four types of diffusion jumps can be identified via MS, in-plane in-line, in-plane off-line, out-of-plane in-line and out-of-plane off-line. The in-plane migration is dominated by one-dimensional crowdion motion along the [110] directions, interrupted from time to time by off-line or out-of-plane jumps. Based on the MS results, the activation energies and pre-exponentials for the diffusion processes are determined by fits to the Arrhenius plots of D_c and D_a. The diffusional anisotropy factor D_c/D_a is also obtained, and compares well with experimental results. The mean frequency of each type of jumps is then found using Monte Carlo simulation, and is reported as a function of temperature. The mean lifetime and mean free path of the one-dimensional mobility are then obtained. The 1-D mean free path is found to be unimportant for sink separations involved under the usual irradiation damage conditions.

Three-dimensional visualization of diffusion flame shapes under acoustic excitation using stereoscopic imaging and reconstruction technique

Stereoscopic imaging and reconstruction technique is introduced to reconstruct the flame structures that are subject to acoustic excitation. The laminar diffusion flame under investigation was created in a cylindrical tube and excited by a loudspeaker. Stereo images were taken at a shutter speed of 1/10000^th second using a ‘stereo camera’ and the depth cue of the flame structures along the camera viewing direction were then computed using machine vision methodology. By visualizing the computed three-dimensional flame models, as well as judging the corresponding attribute such as surface gradient, the understanding of the flame and acoustic wave interaction could be improved.     

Discrete-event simulation: from the pioneers to the present,what next?

Discrete-event simulation is one of the most popular modelling techniques. It has developed significantly since the inception of computer simulation in the 1950s, most of this in line with developments in computing. The progress of simulation from its early days is charted with a particular focus on recent history. Specific developments in the past 15 years include visual interactive modelling, simulation optimization, virtual reality, integration with other software, simulation in the service sector, distributed simulation and the use of the worldwide web. The future is then speculated upon. Potential changes in model development, model use, the domain of application for simulation and integration with other simulation approaches are all discussed. The desirability of continuing to follow developments in computing, without significant developments in the wider methodology of simulation, is questioned.     

Use of discrete-event simulation to evaluate strategies for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in developing countries

HIV/AIDS affects over 40 million people worldwide, and more than 70% of these people live in Africa. Mother-to-child transmission of HIV accounts for over 90% of all HIV infections in children under the age of 15 years. However, implementing HIV prevention policies in Africa is extremely difficult because of the poor medical and socio-economic infrastructure. In this paper, we present a discrete-event simulation model that evaluates the relative benefits of two potentially affordable interventions aimed at preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, namely anti-retroviral treatment at childbirth and/or bottlefeeding strategies. The model uses rural Tanzanian data and compares different treatment policies. Our results demonstrate that strategic guidelines about breastfeeding are highly dependent on the assumed increase in infant mortality due to bottlefeeding, the efficacy of anti-retroviral treatment at childbirth, and the maternal health stage. The cost of averted infections, though low by Western standards, may represent significant obstacles to policy implementation in developing countries.
