Comparison Of Proton Transfers In (S2h5)+ And (O2h5)+, L. Bigham, Steve Scheiner Jan 1985

Comparison Of Proton Transfers In (S2h5)+ And (O2h5)+, L. Bigham, Steve Scheiner

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Publications

The energetics and electronic rearrangements associated with proton transfer between S atoms in (H2S–H–SH2)+ are calculated using ab initio molecular orbital methods and compared with similar data in the first‐row analog (H2O–H–OH2)+. The full potential energy surface of (S2H5)+, calculated as a function of the H‐bond length as well as the position of the proton, contains two equivalent minima separated by a small energy barrier, whereas the surface of (O2H5)+ contains a single minimum corresponding to a symmetric …


Comparison Of Bootstrap And Jacknife Statistical Procedures, Amanuel Gobena Jan 1985

Comparison Of Bootstrap And Jacknife Statistical Procedures, Amanuel Gobena

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

This report compares the bootstrapping to jacknifing statistical procedures in terms in bias, confidence interval and estimation of median. Related literature have been reviewed. A bootstrap allows a researcher to get an approximation to the distribution of possibly complicated statistical summaries. It is based on random sampling with replacement from experimental units. Jacknife has also been in operation prior to bootstrapping statistical procedure. The jacknife divides the data into subgroups and obtains partial estimates of these subgroups by omitting one subgroup at a time. When both of these statistical resampling procedures are compared the bootstrap has less bias, more accurate …
