Dots for Dummies

Quantum dots pose an interesting problem in which three complications- disorder, interaction and finite size- come together. I describe progress that can be made by combining Random Matrix Theory (RMT) and the Renormalization Group (RG) to attack the problem.     

A simple elemental continuity based model application to study the anaerobic microbial activity for the treatment of dairy manure

A simple anaerobic digestion (AD) model was formulated with emphasis on understanding the microbial activity during AD. The model was formulated according to two main rules that regulate the microbial growth. The first rule was maintaining the elemental continuity of macronutrients C, H, N, O, P, and S. The second rule satisfied the thermodynamics of the main AD catabolic reactions: acidogenesis and both acetotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis. Accordingly, the stoichiometric parameters were evaluated as functions of the bacterial yield. The model also considered the enzymatic hydrolysis of solid waste. For a known solid waste composition, experimental data was utilized to estimate microbial initial concentrations, yields and kinetics, i.e., to achieve better understanding of the main AD microbial activity. The model was applied to three sets of batch experiments focusing on anaerobic dairy manure degradation. The model predicted the degradation dynamics, estimated the bacterial concentration in different inoculums, and evaluated the effect of inoculum ratios in speeding up the degradation. Elemental continuity based formulation of the model evaluated additional components that are necessary for future studies of macronutrients recovery, limitation/toxic effects, and chemical equilibrium.

Protonation of group 14 oxides: the proton affinity of SnO

Molecular orbital calculations are reported for the monoxides, XO, of group 14 elements (X = C, Si, Ge and Sn) and for both isomers, XOH⁺ and HXO⁺, of the protonated monoxides. Structure optimisation has been carried out using the Density Functional Theory employing the B3LYP procedure and at both Hartree-Fock and MP2 (full) levels, all with a variety of medium-sized Gaussian basis sets. In all XO molecules the oxygen atom is the preferred site for protonation, except when X = C where HCO⁺ is the lower energy isomer. Barriers to interconversion between the two isomers XOH⁺ and HXO⁺ are over-estimated by the Hartree-Fock calculations, but with wave functions that include electron correlations they generally fall into the range 27-44 kcal mol⁻¹. Proton affinities increase as the atomic number of X increases, and values calculated by averaging over all wave functions that include electron correlation, give the following proton affinities: for CO, 141.5; for SiO, 189.3; for GeO, 196.1; and for SnO, 215.6 (all in kcal mol⁻¹).

On charged mesoscopic metallic bubbles

We investigate the existence of stable charged metallic bubbles using the shell correction method. We find that for a given mesoscopic system of n atoms of a given metal and (positive) elementary charges, a metallic bubble turns out to have a lower total energy than a compact spherical cluster, whenever the charge number q is larger than a critical charge number q_c. For a magic number (n-q) of free electrons, the spherical metallic bubble may become stable against fission. Received: 17 November 1997 / Revised: 28 May 1998 / Accepted: 20 July 1998

On Nonstructure of Elementary Submodels of an Unsuperstable Homogeneous Structure

In the first part of this paper we let M be a stable homogeneous model and we prove a nonstructure theorem for the class of all elementary submodels of M, assuming that M is ‘unsuperstable’ and has Skolem functions. In the second part we assume that M is an unstable homogeneous model of large cardinality and we prove a nonstructure theorem for the class of all elementary submodels of M.

Process planning for circuit card assembly on a series of dual head placement machines

This paper proposes an approach for prescribing the inter-related decisions that prescribe a process plan for a series of dual head placement machines. The goal is to provide a means of rapidly prescribing a process plan that seeks to minimize cycle time (equivalently, maximize throughput rate) by balancing workloads assigned to heads when assembling a given type of circuit card. Our approach decomposes process planning decisions into four related problems. This paper explores list-processing heuristics for the first of these problems and adapts an optimizing method for the fourth. It also integrates these two methods with others to optimize the second and third of these problems, reporting computational tests that evaluate the overall approach to all four problems and assessing the degree to which the decomposition approach is able to balance workloads assigned and the run time required to do so. Resulting cycle times are also analyzed. These test results demonstrate that the overall approach provides a means of prescribing effective process plans within a run time acceptable to process planners.
