Closed form for two-photon free–free transition matrix elements
2000
Abstract Two-photon free–free transitions happen in the multiphoton ionization with more than one excess photon and in bremsstralung. Up to now, the configuration space free–free transition amplitudes have not been written in closed form. We propose a modified Coulomb Green’s function (CGF) Sturmian expansion which allows one to obtain expressions for two-photon radial transition matrix elements in the closed form which are easy to continue analytically to calculate free–free transitions in H.
3D digitization of transparent objects by polalization techniques in IR & by triangulation in UV
2011
Two non-conventional methods for the 3D digitization of transparent objects via non-contact measurement are reported in this thesis. 3D digitization is a well acknowledged technique for opaque objects and various commercial solutions based on different measurement approaches are available in the market offering different types of resolution at different prices. Since these techniques require a diffused or lambertian surface, their application to transparent surfaces fails. Indeed, rays reflected by the transparent surface are perturbed by diverse inter-reflections induced by the refractive properties of the object. Therefore, in industrial applications like quality control, the transparent …
Reducing CAS-SDCI space. Using selected spaces in configuration interaction calculations in an efficient way
2002
A new method is presented, which allows an important reduction of the size of some Configuration Interaction (CI) matrices. Starting from a Complete Active Space (CAS), the numerous configurations that have a small weight in the CAS wave function are eliminated. When excited configurations (e.g., singly and doubly excited) are added to the reference space, the resulting MR-SDCI space is reduced in the same proportion as compared with the full CAS–SDCI. A set of active orbitals is chosen, but some selection of the most relevant excitations is performed because not all the possible excitations act as SDCI generators. Thanks to a new addressing technique, the computational time is drastically …
High pressure liquid chromatography resolution of racemic mixtures of chiral tricarbonyl arene chromium(0) and cyclopentadienyl-titanium(IV) complexes
1998
Abstract Enantiomers of chiral tricarbonyl arene chromium(0) and cyclopentadienyl-titanium(IV) complexes have been separated by high pressure liquid chromatography employing a Chiralcel OD (Daicel) column, eluting with hexane/2-propanol mixtures. The capacity factors ( k ) and selectivity factors ( α ) concerning the separation of these compounds have been determined. The resolution of tricarbonyl( η 6 -methyl o -acetylbenzoate)chromium ( IV ), was carried out on semipreparative scale: a comparison of the CD spectra of the enantiomers IVa and IVb with that reported in the literature for a similar complex allowed to establish the absolute configuration [( 1R )] for the most retained enantiom…
Covariate-constrained Randomization Routine for Achieving Baseline Balance in Cluster-randomized Trials
2017
In cluster-randomized trials, groups or clusters of individuals, rather than individuals themselves, are randomly allocated to intervention or control. In this article, we describe a new command, ccrand, that implements a covariate-constrained randomization procedure for cluster-randomized trials. It can ensure balance of one or more baseline covariates between trial arms by restriction to allocations that meet specified balance criteria. We provide a brief overview of the theoretical background, describe ccrand and its options, and illustrate it using an example.
Fault Tolerant Routing Methodology for Mesh-of-Tree based Network-on-Chips using Local Reconfiguration
2018
Increase in the processing elements in a System-on- Chip (SoC) has led to an increasing complexity between the cores in the entire network. This communication bottleneck led to rise in the new paradigm called Network-on-Chip (NoC). These NoC are very much susceptible to various types of faults which can be transient, intermittent or permanent. This paper presents a fault-tolerant routing technique which can route the packets from a source to a destination in presence of permanent faults in the leaf routers of Mesh-of-Tree topology where cores are connected. This is achieved by using reconfiguration in the local ports of the leaf routers by inserting multiplexers as a layer between the leaf …
Architectural Implementation of a Reconfigurable NoC Design for Multi-Applications
2021
With the increasing number of applications running on a Network-on-Chip (NoC) based System-on-Chip (SoC), there is a need for designing a reconfigurable NoC platform to achieve acceptable performance for all the applications. This paper proposes a novel architecture for implementing a reconfiguration logic to the NoC platform executing multiple applications. The proposed architecture reconfigures SoC modules to the routers in the NoC with the help of tri-state buffers based on the applications running. The overhead in implementing the reconfiguration circuitry is significantly less, approximately 0.9% of the area and 1% of the total power consumed by the router network. The architectures pr…
Configurations of the Interactive Use of Environmental Management Control
2013
This paper explores the use of interactive environmental management control. In order to do this, a theoretical model is designed drawing on the framework of Simons (1995) and instrumental stakeholder theory. This model defines three dimensions of interactive control: forms of interactivity (vertical, horizontal, external), frequencies of interactivity (high, medium, low) and decision levels (strategic, tactical, operational). Four typical configurations emerge from application of the model to empirical data from ten case studies: eco-designers, eco-institutionals, eco-managers and eco-educators. These configurations show the diverse roles of interactive environmental management control in …
Synthesis, Absolute Configuration, and Bacterial Mutagenicity of the 8 Stereoisomeric Vicinal Diol Epoxides at the Terminal Benzo Ring of Carcinogeni…
2011
The synthesis of the 8 possible stereoisomeric diol epoxides (DEs) at the terminal benzo ring of carcinogenic dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DBA) is reported. trans-3,4-Dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-DBA (1) afforded the 4 bay region DEs: the enantiomeric pairs of the anti diastereomers (+)-3/(-)-3 and of the syn diastereomers (-)-4/(+)-4, respectively. trans-1,2-Dihydroxy-1,2-dihydro-DBA (2) served as precursor of the 4 reverse DEs: the enantiomeric pairs of the anti diastereomers (+)-5/(-)-5 and of the syn diastereomers (-)-6/(+)-6, respectively. The transformation of the olefinic double bond in the enantiomeric trans-dihydrodiols to epoxides was achieved by either (i) oxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic…
Reconfiguration: a key to handle exceptions and performance deteriorations in manufacturing operations
2005
During a manufacturing operation, exceptions may occur dynamically and unpredictably. Their occurrence may lead to the degradation of system performance or, in the worst case scenario may interrupt the production process by causing errors in the schedule plan. This paper classifies three families of exceptions: (1) out-of-order events such as machine breakdowns, (2) operational out-of-ordinary events such as rush orders and (3) deteriorations of manufacturing resource performance such as reductions of machines' utilization. In all cases, in order to maintain an adequate level of system performance, it is necessary to detect exceptions, to diagnose them quickly and to recover them by taking …
