Assignments of optically pumped CD3OH laser lines

Six FIR laser lines from CD₃OH pumped by the 10R(36) and the 10R(18) CO₂ laser lines are assigned to specific rotational energy levels in the excited C–0 stretch state. It is found that their upper laser levels are shifted by a Fermi resonance between the C–0 stretch vibration and the third and forth harmonics of the torsional mode. The Fermi resonance shifts are +0.332 cm^–1 and +2.251 cm^–1 for the upper laser levels pumped by the 10R(36) and the 10R(18) CO₂ laser lines, respectively. Calculated frequencies of the pump and the laser transitions agree with those of the pump CO₂ laser lines and the observed FIR laser lines within estimated accuracy.     

order and disorder lines in systems with competing interactions: II. The IRF model

Systems with competing interactions can be often exactly solved on a restricted subspace of the parameter space, called an order or disorder trajectory. A simple method introduced within the transfer matrix formalism allows for the calculation of the free energy and spin-spin correlation functions along the order and disorder lines of the Ising model with all possible interactions around a face of the square lattice (IRF model). The general eight-vertex model is thoroughly examined and shows full analogy with the quantum spin chain results of the previous paper.On leave from and address after September 1, 1982: Institute for Theoretical Physics, Eötvös University, 1088 Budapest, Puskin U. 5–7, Hungary.     

Stark Broadening of F III Lines in Laboratory and Stellar Plasma

Using a semiclassical approach, we have considered electron-, proton-, and ionized helium-impact line widths and shifts for the F III 2p^{3 4}S^o-3s ⁴P resonant line. Moreover, for 10 F III multiplets where the full semiclassical perturbation approach is not applicable in an adequate way due to the lack of reliable atomic data, electron-impact line widths have been calculated within the modified semiempirical approach. Results are obtained as a function of temperature for perturber density of 10¹⁷ cm⁻³. The theoretical data obtained have been used to consider the influence of Stark broadening for A-type star atmosphere conditions. __________ Published in Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 3, pp. 412–415, May–June, 2005.     

Are the Elements Elementary? Nineteenth-Century Chemical and Spectroscopical Answers

We analyze the role and influence of a tradition of research linked to the concept of primary matter in nineteenth-century studies on the nature of the elements.The suggestion of William Prout (1785-1850) in 1816 that the atomic weights of pure chemical elements are whole numbers and multiples of the atomic weight of hydrogen, taken as unity, was met with serious confutations,which in turn prompted several attempts to save Prouts hypothesis.We discuss these attempts in detail and the objections raised against them, for instance by Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907). We pay particular attention to the use of spectroscopy as a method for proving the existence of elementary forms of matter inside atoms. Leaders in this field of research were two English scientists, the astrophysicist Norman Lockyer (1836-1920) and the chemist William Crookes (1832- 1919). Both of their approaches involved the idea of primary matter. However, while Crookess approach proved to be incorrect, Lockyers ideas survived for several years and supported the discovery of the electron by J.J.Thomson (1856-1940).     

Simulation optimization of buffer allocations in production lines with unreliable machines

We use a recent simulationbased optimization method, sample path optimization, to find optimal buffer allocations in tandem production lines where machines are subject to random breakdowns and repairs, and the product is fluidtype. We explore some of the functional properties of throughput of such systems and exploit these properties to prove the almost sure convergence of our optimization technique, under a regularity condition on the steady state. Utilizing a generalized semiMarkov process (GSMP) representation of the system, we derive recursive expressions to compute onesided directional derivatives of throughput, from a single simulation run. Finally, we give computational results for lines with up to 50 machines. We also compare results for smaller lines with the results from a more conventional method, stochastic approximation, whenever applicable. In these numerical studies, our method performed quite well on problems that are considered difficult by current computational standards.     

圆孔翅片管积霜工况下的制冷性能实验

实验研究证实,圆孔翅片管在无霜工况下的传热性能远优于平翅片管,但积霜工况下的传热与制冷性能是否优越没有得到实验验证.利用冰箱制冷系统,分别采用圆孔-半圆孔交叉翅片、圆孔翅片以及平翅片管式换热器,进行积霜工况下的传热和制冷性能对比性实验研究.考察了积霜过程对圆孔孔径大小的影响;分析比较了3种不同片型的有效制冷量、传热系数和实际制冷系数;比较了强化翅片的节能效果;采用有限元法求解出翅片效率,并分离求出实际对流换热系数,从而揭示了翅片表面的实际换热情况.结果表明:与平翅片相比,当最窄截面风速为0.5 m/s时,积霜工况下,圆孔翅片的传热系数平均提高了11.53%;对流换热系数平均提高了18.84%;实际制冷系数平均提高了6.83%;有效制冷量平均提高了6.02%;节省电能6.39%.圆孔翅片是3种片型中的最优片型.     

Escape factors in spherically symmetric plasmas

In this paper we present explicit formulas for the escape factors of strong spectral lines in spherical-symmetric plasmas. The plasma does not necessarily have a homogeneous density. The calculations include two new elements: the first incorporates an accurate calculation of the angle-averaged areal density of ions from any internal point to the edge of the sphere. The second is the use of a saddle point method to carry out the integration over the line profile. Approximate expressions for the asymptotic behavior of the escape factor are given for Gaussian, Lorentzian and Holtsmarkian line shapes.
