    On dynamical tunneling and classical resonances

    Full text link
    This work establishes a firm relationship between classical nonlinear resonances and the phenomenon of dynamical tunneling. It is shown that the classical phase space with its hierarchy of resonance islands completely characterizes dynamical tunneling and explicit forms of the dynamical barriers can be obtained only by identifying the key resonances. Relationship between the phase space viewpoint and the quantum mechanical superexchange approach is discussed in near-integrable and mixed regular-chaotic situations. For near-integrable systems with sufficient anharmonicity the effect of multiple resonances {\it i.e.,} resonance-assisted tunneling can be incorporated approximately. It is also argued that the, presumed, relation of avoided crossings to nonlinear resonances does not have to be invoked in order to understand dynamical tunneling. For molecules with low density of states the resonance-assisted mechanism is expected to be dominant.Comment: Completely rewritten and expanded version of a previous submission physics/0410033. 14 pages and 10 figure

    The Influence of GRA and TOPSIS for Assortment of Green Supply Chain Management Strategies in Cement Industry

    The present paper aimed at proposing new strategies for evaluating the green supply chain management for enhancing the priority to environmental factors in cement manufacturing life cycle analysis, there by reducing the carbon foot prints. These strategies help in producing eco-friendly products there striking the balance between economy and environment. Initially green supply chain priorities are defined by using grey relational analysis (GRA). The priority weights obtained by GRA method is used to determine the weight for each indicator selected in the present study and then GRA is combined with TOPSIS methodology to obtain the priority for level-II measurement indicators used in the present study. These strategies will influence the decision making priorities during cement manufacturing. Keywords - Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), strategy prioritization, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), TOPSIS, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA

    An efficient industry 4.0 architecture for energy conservation using an automatic machine monitor and control in the foundry

    In this article, a machine monitor and control architecture (MMCA) satisfying the industry 4.0 standard is proposed for energy conservation by optimizing the core moulding machine in industrial automation. Since the foundry environment is a fine dust area and is maintained at very high temperatures (around 140°C), the manual operation of machines is more complex and demanding. Moreover, the monitoring and controlling of machines need highly reliable eco-friendly systems. With real-time data logging, the proposed MMCA prototype system has been installed to monitor and control the overall process in a single core shooter machine (CSM). The parameters controlled using MMCA in foundry machinery include pressure, temperature and power consumption. The complete system can be controlled using an intranet or Internet connection without any human intervention in the machinery environment, which operates at a very high temperature. After explaining the architecture and its features, the experimental results are presented on a real-time implementation of the framework to validate the optimal energy management by the proposed MMCA. The experiments were performed on a CSM, which is automated for practical industrial applications. Its real-time implementation ensures that MMCA-based monitoring and controlling is more effective and advantageous than the programmable logic controller-based machine monitoring

    Understanding highly excited states via parametric variations

    Full text link
    Highly excited vibrational states of an isolated molecule encode the vibrational energy flow pathways in the molecule. Recent studies have had spectacular success in understanding the nature of the excited states mainly due to the extensive studies of the classical phase space structures and their bifurcations. Such detailed classical-quantum correspondence studies are presently limited to two or quasi two dimensional systems. One of the main reasons for such a constraint has to do with the problem of visualization of relevant objects like surface of sections and Wigner or Husimi distributions associated with an eigenstate. This neccesiates various alternative techniques which are more algebraic than geometric in nature. In this work we introduce one such method based on parametric variation of the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian. It is shown that the level velocities are correlated with the phase space nature of the corresponding eigenstates. A semiclassical expression for the level velocities of a single resonance Hamiltonian is derived which provides theoretical support for the correlation. We use the level velocities to dynamically assign the highly excited states of a model spectroscopic Hamiltonian in the mixed phase space regime. The effect of bifurcations on the level velocities is briefly discussed using a recently proposed spectroscopic Hamiltonian for the HCP molecule.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, submitted to J. Chem.

    First record on the absence of anal fin in the white sardine, Escualosa thoracata (Valenciennes, 1847) from Indian waters

    White sardine, Escualosa thoracata (Valenciennes, 1847) forms a minor fishery along the west coast of India. An abnormal specimen of white sardine, lacking anal fin, was collected from Mangalore coast along with the normal specimens. The characters of the abnormal specimen are described along with normal specimens. The report is the first of its kind for E. thoracta from Indian waters. The possible causes of the abnormality in this species have been discussed in this communication

    Analyzing intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution via the overlap intensity-level velocity correlator

    Full text link
    Numerous experimental and theoretical studies have established that intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in isolated molecules has a heirarchical tier structure. The tier structure implies strong correlations between the energy level motions of a quantum system and its intensity-weighted spectrum. A measure, which explicitly accounts for this correaltion, was first introduced by one of us as a sensitive probe of phase space localization. It correlates eigenlevel velocities with the overlap intensities between the eigenstates and some localized state of interest. A semiclassical theory for the correlation is developed for systems that are classically integrable and complements earlier work focusing exclusively on the chaotic case. Application to a model two dimensional effective spectroscopic Hamiltonian shows that the correlation measure can provide information about the terms in the molecular Hamiltonian which play an important role in an energy range of interest and the character of the dynamics. Moreover, the correlation function is capable of highlighting relevant phase space structures including the local resonance features associated with a specific bright state. In addition to being ideally suited for multidimensional systems with a large density of states, the measure can also be used to gain insights into the phase space transport and localization. It is argued that the overlap intensity-level velocity correlation function provides a novel way of studying vibrational energy redistribution in isolated molecules. The correlation function is ideally suited to analyzing the parametric spectra of molecules in external fields.Comment: 16 pages, 13 figures (low resolution
