Atomic And Electronic Structure Of Neutral And Charged Sinom Clusters, Saroj K. Nayak, B. K. Rao, S. N. Khanna, P. Jena

Physics Publications

Using molecular orbital approach and the generalized gradient approximation in the density functional theory, we have calculated the equilibrium geometries, binding energies, ionization potentials, and vertical and adiabatic electron affinities of SinOm clusters (n⩽6,m⩽12). The calculations were carried out using both Gaussian and numerical form for the atomic basis functions. Both procedures yield very similar results. The bonding in SinOm clusters is characterized by a significant charge transfer between the Si and O atoms and is stronger than in conventional semiconductor clusters. The bond distances are much less sensitive to cluster size than seen for metallic clusters. Similarly, calculated energy …

Clinical Utility Of Ca125 Levels In Predicting Laparoscopically Confirmed Salpingitis In Patients With Clinically Diagnosed Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, E. Moore, D. E. Soper

Obstetrics and Gynecology Publications

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of serum CA125 determinations in diagnosing acute salpingitis.

Methods: CA125 levels were determined for 34 women with the clinical diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Acute salpingitis was confirmed laparoscopically in 28 women (82.3%).

Results: Twenty patients (71.4%) with laparoscopically confirmed acute salpingitis had CA125 levels greater than 7.5 units, compared with no patients (0/6) with laparoscopically normal tubes (P = 0.002). The degree of elevation of CA125 levels correlated with the severity of tubal inflammation noted at laparoscopy. All patients with levels above 16 units had laparoscopically severe …

Geodetic Vlbi Observations Of Egret Blazars, B. Glenn Piner, Kerry A. Kingham

Physics

We present VLBI observations of the EGRET quasars 0202+149, CTA 26, and 1606+106, as well as additional analysis of VLBI observations of 1156+295 presented in a previous letter. We have produced 8 and 2 GHz VLBI images at 11 epochs, 8 epochs, and 12 epochs, spanning the years 1989-1996, of 0202+149, CTA 26, and 1606+106, respectively. The VLBI data have been taken from the Washington VLBI correlator's geodetic database. We have measured the apparent velocities of the jet components and find that CTA 26 and 1606+106 are superluminal sources, with average apparent speeds of 8.9 and 2.9 h-1c …

Attractor Dimension Estimates For Two-Dimensional Shear Flows, Charles R. Doering, Xiaoming Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We study the large time behavior of boundary and pressure-gradient driven incompressible fluid flows in elongated two-dimensional channels with emphasis on estimates for their degrees of freedom, i.e., the dimension of the attractor for the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. for boundary driven shear flows and flux driven channel flows we present upper bounds for the degrees of freedom of the form ca Re^3/2 where c is a universal constant, a denotes the aspect ratio of the channel (length/width), and Re is the Reynolds number based on the channel width and the imposed "outer" velocity scale. for fixed pressure …

Atomoicity Of Mappings, J. J. Charatonik, W. J. Charatonik

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A mapping f:X→Y between continua X and Y is said to be atomic at a subcontinuumK of the domain X provided that f(K) is nondegenerate and K=f^-1(f(K)). The set of subcontinua at which a given mapping is atomic, considered as a subspace of the hyperspace of all subcontinua of X, is studied. The introduced concept is applied to get new characterizations of atomic and monotone mappings. Some related questions are asked.

Arc Approximation Property And Confluence Of Induced Mappings, W. J. Charatonik

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We say that a continuum X has the arc approximation property if every subcontinuum K of X is the limit of a sequence of arcwise connected subcontinua of X all containing a fixed point of K. This property is applied to exhibit a class of continua Y such that confluence of a mapping f : X - Y implies confluence of the induced mappings 2^f : 2^x - @^y and C(f) : C(x) - C(y). The converse implications are studied and similar interrelations are considered for some other classes of mappings, related to confluent ones.

Crimes Of War: A Personal Account Of The Horrors Revealed By An Investigation Of A Nazi War Criminal, Peter Watson

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Crimes of war pose an inherent contradiction. They demand justice, but we find ourselves uneasy at putting our enemies on trial. Since Nuremburg, such issues have challenged our morality and confronted our conscience. Is it that we recoil from the spoils of the victor, taking illegitimate advantage of the vanquished?

Wilson-Leonard An 11,000-Year Archeological Record Of Hunter-Gatherers In Central Texas Volume Ii: Chipped Stone Artifacts, Michael B. Collins, C. Britt Bousman, Susan W. Dial, Anne C. Kerr, Keith Prillman

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Study of the archeology of the Wilson-Leonard site has opened broad new vistas for the reexamination and improved interpretation of regional prehistory. Beyond that, it is of national importance in terms of both data and interpretation (for example, on the Paleoindian era) and the concepts used in its excavation and analysis. It is unique in other ways. In most cases, deep, stratified, multicomponent sites of this integrity are rarely excavated (in Texas, at least) more than once and the potential for long-term research is not fully met. As the reader will learn, Wilson-Leonard was first excavated on a large scale …

The Non-Wavelike Response Of A Continental Shelf To Wind, G. T. Csanady

Journal of Marine Research

An overlooked aspect of continental shelf wave generation by wind is that a non-wavelike flow field may accompany the waves. To explore this possibility, we calculate the response of an inclined plane shelf to suddenly applied alongshore wind, affecting a finite portion of the coast. The calculations are based on the classical theory of continental shelf waves, supposing low frequency motions and invoking the boundary layer approximation (alongshore scales much longer than cross-shore ones). The results reveal non-wavelike circulations, with or without bottom friction, on a shelf of finite or unlimited width, unaffected by changing offshore boundary conditions. In the …

Linear Ocean Circulation Theory With Realistic Bathymetry, Rick Salmon

Journal of Marine Research

The linear equations governing stratified, wind-driven flow in an ocean of arbitrary shape may be combined into a single "advection-diffusion" equation for the pressure , in which the "flow" advecting  includes a delta-function contribution at the ocean bottom in the sense of southward "advection" of  along western continental slopes. This interpretation of the -equation helps to explain numerical solutions obtained with a finite-element model incorporating realistic North Atlantic bathymetry.

Narrow Hybrid Zone Between Two Subspecies Of Big Sagebrush (Artemisia Tridentata: Aeteraceae). V. Soil Properties, Han Wang, David W. Byrd, Jeffrey L. Howard, E. Durant Mcarthur, John H. Graham, D. Carl Freeman

Environmental Science and Geology Faculty Research Publications

We studied soils of the big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) hybrid zone at two locations in Utah. The elemental composition, depth, and pH of soil in the basin and mountain big sagebrush habitats differed significantly from each other and from the hybrid zone soil. The hybrid zone soil is not just a simple blend of the two parental habitat soils. Rather, it possesses novel characteristics found in neither parental habitat and is more variable than the parental habitat soils. Correspondence analyses show that the sites occupied by each parental taxon are chemically distinct. Moreover, the principal axes from the two study …

Multilongitudinal-Mode Dynamics In A Semiconductor Laser Subject To Optical Injection, J.K. White, Jerome Moloney, Athanasios Gavrielides

Articles

Multilongitudinal-mode dynamics in a semiconductor laser subject to optical injection are investigated both experimentally and numerically. We found that there are parameter regimes for which the slave laser hops into an adjacent longitudinal mode as we vary the detuning of the optical frequencies between the master and slave laser. A traveling wave model is used to numerically investigate the mode hopping. Good qualitative agreement is found between the numerical computations and the experimental observations.

On How To Merge Sorted Lists Coming From Different Web Search Tools, Ronald R. Yager, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Different web search tools often complement each other. So, if we want to have a good coverage of all relevant web items, a reasonable strategy is to use different search tools and then merge the resulting lists. How to merge them? In this paper, we describe reasonable axioms for the merging procedure and describe all mergings that satisfy these reasonable axioms.
