Analytic first derivatives for a spin-adapted open-shell coupled cluster theory: Evaluation of first-order electrical properties
2014
An analytic scheme is presented for the evaluation of first derivatives of the energy for a unitary group based spin-adapted coupled cluster (CC) theory, namely, the combinatoric open-shell CC (COSCC) approach within the singles and doubles approximation. The widely used Lagrange multiplier approach is employed for the derivation of an analytical expression for the first derivative of the energy, which in combination with the well-established density-matrix formulation, is used for the computation of first-order electrical properties. Derivations of the spin-adapted lambda equations for determining the Lagrange multipliers and the expressions for the spin-free effective density matrices for…
Studies of rotational level Λ-doubling by rf-optical double resonance spectroscopy: application to NaK D1Π
1997
Abstract We report here the application of optical-radio frequency double resonance spectroscopy for individual rotational levels of the NaK D 1 Π state. Lambda doubling constant q values for five ν′, J ′ levels are obtained. These data are combined with measurements of dc e - f Stark-mixing-induced changes in optical spectra, and the electric dipole moment d p in the D 1 Π state is determined.
Importance sampling for Lambda-coalescents in the infinitely many sites model
2011
We present and discuss new importance sampling schemes for the approximate computation of the sample probability of observed genetic types in the infinitely many sites model from population genetics. More specifically, we extend the 'classical framework', where genealogies are assumed to be governed by Kingman's coalescent, to the more general class of Lambda-coalescents and develop further Hobolth et. al.'s (2008) idea of deriving importance sampling schemes based on 'compressed genetrees'. The resulting schemes extend earlier work by Griffiths and Tavar\'e (1994), Stephens and Donnelly (2000), Birkner and Blath (2008) and Hobolth et. al. (2008). We conclude with a performance comparison o…
Effect of lambing season on ewe’s colostrum composition
2023
Colostrum provides newborns with nutrients and immunoglobulins that play a major role in the immune system. In this survey, the immunoglobulin G (IgG) content, gross composition, mineral content, and fatty acid composition were determined in the colostrum of Valle del Belice ewes with the aim of evaluating the effect of lambing of season. In total, we analysed 60 bulk tank colostrum samples taken after lambing during two seasons (summer and winter). The IgG con- tent and Brix mean values were 40.35 g/L and 21.02%, respectively. The colostrum fat, protein, casein, and lactose percentages were 8.01, 12.10, 8.51, and 3.13%, respectively. The lambing sea- son significantly influenced the pH and…
Theoretical description of the decays Λb→Λ(*)(12±,32±)+J/ψ
2017
We calculate the invariant and helicity amplitudes for the transitions ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{(*)}({J}^{P})+J/\ensuremath{\psi}$, where the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{(*)}({J}^{P})$ are $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(sud)$-type ground and excited states with ${J}^{P}$ quantum numbers ${J}^{P}={\frac{1}{2}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$, ${\frac{3}{2}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$. The calculations are performed in the framework of a covariant confined quark model previously developed by us. We find that the values of the helicity amplitudes for the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{*}(1520,{\frac{3}{2}}^{\ensu…
Central polynomials and matrix invariants

LetK be a field, charK=0 andM n (K) the algebra ofn×n matrices overK. If λ=(λ1,…,λ m ) andμ=(μ 1,…,μ m ) are partitions ofn 2 let $$\begin{gathered} F^{\lambda ,\mu } = \sum\limits_{\sigma ,\tau \in S_n 2} {\left( {\operatorname{sgn} \sigma \tau } \right)x_\sigma (1) \cdot \cdot \cdot x_\sigma (\lambda _1 )^{y_\tau } (1)^{ \cdot \cdot \cdot } y_\tau (\mu _1 )^{x\sigma } (\lambda _1 + 1)} \hfill \\ \cdot \cdot \cdot x_\sigma (\lambda _1 + \lambda _2 )^{y_\tau } (\mu _1 ^{ + 1} )^{ \cdot \cdot \cdot y_\tau } (\mu _1 + \mu _2 ) \hfill \\ \cdot \cdot \cdot x_\sigma (\lambda _1 + \cdot \cdot \cdot + \lambda _{\mu - 1} ^{ + 1} ) \hfill \\ \cdot \cdot \cdot x_\sigma (n^2 )^{y_\tau } (\mu _1 ^{ + \…
Nonlinear Nonhomogeneous Robin Problems with Almost Critical and Partially Concave Reaction
2020
We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator, with reaction which exhibits the competition of two Caratheodory terms. One is parametric, $$(p-1)$$-sublinear with a partially concave nonlinearity near zero. The other is $$(p-1)$$-superlinear and has almost critical growth. Exploiting the special geometry of the problem, we prove a bifurcation-type result, describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter $$\lambda >0$$ varies.
Lamb shift of a uniformly accelerated hydrogen atom in the presence of a conducting plate
2009
We investigate the effects of acceleration on the energy-level shifts of a hydrogen atom interacting with the electromagnetic field and in the presence of an infinite perfectly conducting plate. We consider the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and of the radiation reaction field to the Lamb shift, and we discuss their dependence from the acceleration of the atom. We show that, because of the presence of the boundary, both vacuum field fluctuations and radiation reaction field contributions are affected by atomic acceleration. In particular, the effect of the vacuum field fluctuations on the energy-level shifts is not equivalent to that of a thermal field. We also discuss the dependence …
Lambda+, the renewal of the Lambda Architecture: Category Theory to the rescue
2021
Designing software architectures for Big Data is a complex task that has to take into consideration multiple parameters, such as the expected functionalities, the properties that are untradeable, or the suitable technologies. Patterns are abstractions that guide the design of architectures to reach the requirements. One of the famous patterns is the Lambda Architecture, which proposes real-time computations with correctness and fault-tolerance guarantees. But the Lambda has also been highly criticized, mostly because of its complexity and because the real-time and correctness properties are each effective in a different layer but not in the overall architecture. Furthermore, its use cases a…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Measuring D_A and H at z=0.57 from the Baryon Acoustic Peak in th…
2014
We present measurements of the angular diameter distance to and Hubble parameter at z = 0.57 from the measurement of the baryon acoustic peak in the correlation of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. Our analysis is based on a sample from Data Release 9 of 264 283 galaxies over 3275 square degrees in the redshift range 0.43 z DA(0.57) = 1408 ± 45 Mpc and H(0.57) = 92.9 ± 7.8 km s-1 Mpc-1 for our fiducial value of the sound horizon. These results from the anisotropic fitting are fully consistent with the analysis of the spherically averaged acoustic peak position presented in Anderson et al. Our distance measurements are a close match to th…
