Vibrational absorption spectra from vibrational coupled cluster damped linear response functions calculated using an asymmetric Lanczos algorithm

We report the theory and implementation of vibrational coupled cluster (VCC) damped response functions. From the imaginary part of the damped VCC response function the absorption as function of frequency can be obtained, requiring formally the solution of the now complex VCC response equations. The absorption spectrum can in this formulation be seen as a matrix function of the characteristic VCC Jacobian response matrix. The asymmetric matrix version of the Lanczos method is used to generate a tridiagonal representation of the VCC response Jacobian. Solving the complex response equations in the relevant Lanczos space provides a method for calculating the VCC damped response functions and thereby subsequently the absorption spectra. The convergence behaviour of the algorithm is discussed theoretically and tested for different levels of completeness of the VCC expansion. Comparison is made with results from the recently reported [P. Seidler, M. B. Hansen, W. Györffy, D. Toffoli, and O. Christiansen, J. Chem. Phys. 132, 164105 (2010)] vibrational configuration interaction damped response function calculated using a symmetric Lanczos algorithm. Calculations of IR spectra of oxazole, cyclopropene, and uracil illustrate the usefulness of the new VCC based method.

МЕЖПОЛОВЫЕ РАЗЛИЧИЯ В СООТНОШЕНИИ СМЫСЛОВЫХ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК ЦЕННОСТЕЙ «СЕМЬЯ» И «СОЦИАЛЬНАЯ УСПЕШНОСТЬ» В ЮНОШЕСКОМ ВОЗРАСТЕ

The paper addresses the problem of personal self-determination, the formation of the semantic concept system “family” and “social success”. Describes the qualitative differences between these concepts of boys and girls in two groups with different levels of completeness, the self-determination.

PROJECT (PPM) AND CORPORATE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT (CPM)

<p>The portfolio concept is suitable for both formal and project organisations, as well as competitors, clients and environment to be presented in a connected form. The project portfolio management is oriented toward three specially interesting value entities –future events, project environment and investments. Different levels of completeness of certain projects make it harder to compare the estimated investment values and real measurable organizational values. The key parameters of the dynamic process of decision making are: time, risk, value, engineering project type and implementation which determine the strategic significance of the portfolio management for evaluation and selection of engineering projects within the corporate portfolio management (CPM). In most cases, CPM consists of many mini portfolios (for business lines, regional or geographic markets, product groups, information technologies, advertising or promotion, innovations, research and development, and capital asset), which, individually optimized, can optimize the total company portfolio or the portfolio of project organization. In this work is given a clear analysis of engineering projects and project portfolio in engineering organizations.</p>

Seismic Hazard Estimates Using Ill-defined Macroseismic Data at Site

— A new approach is proposed to the seismic hazard estimate based on documentary data concerning local history of seismic effects. The adopted methodology allows for the use of “poor” data, such as the macroseismic ones, within a formally coherent approach that permits overcoming a number of problems connected to the forcing of available information in the frame of “standard” methodologies calibrated on the use of instrumental data. The use of the proposed methodology allows full exploitation of all the available information (that for many towns in Italy covers several centuries) making possible a correct use of macroseismic data characterized by different levels of completeness and reliability. As an application of the proposed methodology, seismic hazard estimates are presented for two towns located in Northern Italy: Bologna and Carpi.

The possible cause and effect graphs (PCEG) model for fault diagnosis—I. Methodology

A new model of diagnostic reasoning called the “possible cause-effect graphs” (PCEG) model is proposed. This model is digraph based, and can be viewed as a generalization of the signed digraph model of process diagnosis. Like the signed digraph model, the PCEG model has the ability to generate diagnoses using the current available set of measurements. The model generalizes by adding the ability to: (a) include relatively unconstrained concept families; (b) designate certain statements as exogenous with respect to the implicit model of the process; and (c) provide a more accurate representation of uncertainty about the process state. The idea of three classes of solutions to diagnostic problems expressed using the PCEG is introduced. These three classes of solution correspond to different levels of completeness in the partial explanation generated for the fault.

CGU' 15th Meeting

The 1988 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Geophysical Union in May in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, marked a major change in the Union's position as one of Canada's scientific societies. While enjoying the guidance and support of the Geological Association of Canada and of the Canadian Association of Physicists for 15 years, the members of the Union overwhelmingly indicated their preference for an independent organization.The main objective of the new organization, according to its constitution, is “to advance the science of geophysics and promote a better understanding thereof throughout Canada.” In the spirit of this goal the executive received a mandate to establish formal contacts with several related scientific organizations. Negotiations toward various forms of association have reached different levels of completion with American Geophysical Union, Canadian Institute of Surveying and Mapping, Canadian Meteorological and Oceanograpahic Society, Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists, European Geophysical Society, and Geological Association of Canada.

Monoclonal antibodies to proteokeratan sulfate of rabbit corneal stroma.

Hybridomas were developed that secreted monoclonal antibodies against two proteokeratan sulfates (PKS) from rabbit corneal stroma. A total of 28 antibodies were isolated, all of the IgG type with kappa light chains. All were found to react with both PKSs. As judged by immunohistochemical staining, none of them reacted with scleral or conjunctival components, nor with sections of skin, but all reacted with nasal cartilage. When tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, against components of the proteoglycans, all of the antibodies reacted with keratan sulfate-peptide (isolated from papain digests of PKS or of cartilage proteoglycan), and all but two reacted with oligosaccharide-containing protein cores (prepared by keratanase treatment of PKS). Reactivity with cores was probably due to residual portions of the keratan sulfate chains since the endogenous oligosaccharide-peptides (non-sulfated, non-keratan sulfate oligosaccharides isolated after papain digestion of PKS) were not active. None of the antibodies reacted with protein cores made by removal of carbohydrate by hydrolysis with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. All except one reacted with fragments of keratan sulfate (made by keratanase digestion). These observations are evidence for structural requirements at three different levels of completeness of the antigen for recognition among the various antibodies. In addition, none of the antibodies reacted immunohistochemically with macular dystrophic corneas, confirming the finding of others that the defect lies in the keratan sulfate portion of the proteoglycans.
