Excitation energies and photoabsorption oscillator strengths of the Rydberg series in CF3Cl. A linear response and quantum defect study.
2007
Vertical excitation energies of the CF(3)Cl molecule have been obtained from a response function approach with a CC reference function to determine absolute photoabsorption oscillator strengths in the molecular-adapted quantum defect orbital formalism (MQDO). The present work covers more highly excited Rydberg states than have been experimentally reported. Assessing of the reliability of the present calculations is provided through a comparative analysis between the results of the molecule and the Cl atom. This can be used to allow for predictions of the same type of properties in other analogous systems.
Remembering an Era: Roger Penrose’s Paper on “Gravitational Collapse: The Role of General Relativity”
2018
Back in the 1960s, Einstein’s theory of general relativity re-emerged as a field of important research activity. Much of the impetus behind this resurgence came from powerful new mathematical ideas that Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking applied to prove general singularity theorems for global space-time structures. Their results stirred the imaginations of astrophysicists and gave relativistic cosmology an entirely new research agenda. A decade later, black holes and the big hang model were on the tongues of nearly everyone who followed recent trends in science. As popular expositions dealing with quasars, pulsars, and the geometry of black holes began to appear in magazines and textbooks, …
The Uses of Analogies in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Science
2011
The object of this paper is to look at the extent and nature of the uses of analogy during the first century following the so-called scientific revolution.Using the research tool provided by JSTOR we systematically analyze the uses of “analog” and its cognates (analogies, analogous, etc.) in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London for the period 1665–1780. In addition to giving the possibility of evaluating quantitatively the proportion of papers explicitly using analogies, this approach makes it possible to go beyond the maybe idiosyncratic cases of Descartes, Kepler, Galileo, and other much studied giants of the so-called Scientific Revolution. As a result a classifi…
Memories and Legacies of Emmy Noether
2021
Those who knew Emmy Noether best were her fellow Germans in exile, in particular her former colleague in Gottingen, Hermann Weyl.
Noether’s International School in Modern Algebra
2020
Pavel Alexandrov and Heinz Hopf met for the first time in Gottingen in the spring of 1926, soon after Alexandrov departed from Blaricum. Hopf had recently taken his doctorate in Berlin under Ludwig Bieberbach and Erhard Schmidt, and his research interests differed sharply from Alexandrov’s work in general topology.
Erzwingt die Quantenmechanik eine drastische Änderung unseres Weltbilds? Gedanken und Experimente nach Einstein, Podolsky und Rosen
1989
Von den Anfangen der Quantenmechanik bis heute gibt es Versuche, sie als statistische Theorie uber Ensembles individueller ‚klassischer’ Systeme zu interpretieren. Die Bedingungen, unter denen Theorien verborgener Parameter zu deterministischen Beschreibungen dieser individuellen Systeme als ‚klassisch’ angesehen werden konnen, wurden von Einstein, Podolsky und Rosen 1935 formuliert: 1. Physikalische Systeme sind im Prinzip separierbar. 2. Zu jeder physikalischen Grose, deren Wert man ohne Storung des betrachteten Systems mit Sicherheit voraussagen kann, existiert ein ihr entsprechendes Element der physikalischen Realitat. Zusammen sind sie, wie Bell 1964 gezeigt hat, prinzipiell unvertragl…
A Place for Life
2010
The belief in the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations starts from the so-called principle of mediocrity. This principle postulates that Earth is a normal planet that rotates around a normal star, which in turn is located in a normal galaxy. That is to say, there is nothing so special in our world as to make it unique. This is a logical conclusion, toward which we are guided by the successive “Copernican turns” that science has suffered throughout its long history, and which has removed us from the central position we once believed to occupy in the universe.
Liftings and extensions of operators in Brownian setting
2020
We investigate the operators T on a Hilbert space H which have 2-isometric liftings S with the property S ∗ S H ⊂ H . We show that such liftings are closely related to some extensions of T, which h...
Design and Implementation of a Tool for Analysing Student Products When They Solve Fermi Problems
2017
In this chapter, we present a tool for analysing the work of secondary-level students from two different schools when they solve a type of Fermi problem. The tool is based on the characterisation of the concepts, procedures and language used to construct the models. Our results show that the proposed tool is useful to describe the models and to distinguish different aspects between the models produced by students without any previous modelling experience and those obtained by students who were already acquainted with working on modelling activities.
Etude de l'impact du contrôle postural associé au port de verres prismatiques dans la réduction des troubles cognitifs chez le dyslexique de développ…
2007
But de l’etude L’objectif de ce travail est d’evaluer l’impact des modifications proprioceptives induites par un traitement postural sur les troubles cognitifs d’une population d’enfants souffrant de dyslexie de developpement. Patients et methodes Il a ete constitue un groupe de 20 enfants dyslexiques traites par prismes posturaux, semelles « de posture » et reeducation posturale, et un groupe temoin de 13 enfants dyslexiques portant uniquement des lunettes sans prismes. Tous les enfants etaient de sexe masculin. Lors de leur inclusion dans l’etude (M0) et 6 mois plus tard (M6), tous les participants ont ete evalues par un bilan ophtalmologique et postural et ont recu un examen neuropsychol…
