Convergence properties of the effective interaction

The convergence properties of two perturbative schemes to sum the so-called folded diagrams are critically reviewed, with an emphasis on the intruder state problem. The methods we study are the approaches of Kuo and co-workers and Lee and Suzuki. The suitability of the two schemes for shell-model calculations are discussed.Comment: 10 pages in revtex ver. 3.0. 3 figs can be obtained upon request. Univerisity of Oslo report UiO/PHYS/93-2

Influences of Model Parameterization Schemes on the Response of Rainfall to Soil Moisture in the Central United States

The sensitivities of soil moisture impacts on summer rainfall in the central United States to different commonly used cumulus parameterization and surface flux schemes are examined using the PSU-NCAR MMS under different atmospheric and soil moisture conditions. The cumulus convection schemes used are the Kuo and Grell parameterization schemes, while the surface-moisture flux schemes used are the aerodynamic formulation and the Simple Biosphere (SiB) Model. Results show that a transient increase in soil moisture enhanced total rainfall over the simulation domain. The increase in soil moisture enhanced local rainfall when the lower atmosphere was thermally unstable and relatively dry, but it decreased the rainfall when the atmosphere was humid and lacked sufficient thermal forcing to initiate deep convection. Soil moisture impacts were noticeably stronger for the Kuo scheme, which simulated lighter peak rainfall, than those for the Grell scheme, which simulated heavier peak rainfall. The greater sensitivity to soil moisture exhibited by the Kuo scheme than either the Grell or explicit scheme implies that it exaggerated the role of soil moisture. This difference was related to how each scheme partitioned rainfall between convective and stable forms, and possibly to each scheme\u27s closure assumptions. Adding details to the surface-moisture flux schemes had a secondary influence on soil moisture impacts on rainfall within a 24-h period

Improvements in understanding nickel toxicity and carcinogenesis through NMR studies: the case of nickel binding to histone H4

Although nickel has been shown to be an essential trace element involved in the metabolism of bacteria, archaea, plants and higher organisms, the carcinogenicity of certain nickel compounds has been confirmed by the combination of epidemiological evidence in humans and carcinogenesis bioassays in animals and it is probably due to alteration in gene expression rather than by direct DNA damage. We have previously reported that Ni(II) is a potent suppressor of histone H4 acetyaltion, in both yeast and mammalian cells. Here we present our recent results on the coordination ability of Ni(II) to the N-terminal tail of HIstone H4 achieved by the use of NMR techiniques like 1d, 2D Tocsy and Noesy H NMR experiments. A structural model of the peptide-Ni(II) complex has been calculated, pointing out the important structural changes occurring to the peptide upon coordination

Finite dimensional hida distributions

Let E be a real Hilbert space and A a densely defined linear operator on E satisfying certain conditions. Let E ⊂ E ⊂ E* be the Gel′fand triple arising from E and A. Let μ denote the standard Gaussian measure on E* and let (L2) = L2(μ). The Wiener-Itô decomposition theorem for (L2) and the second quantization operator Γ(A)* can be used to introduce a Gel′fand triple (E) ⊂ (L2) ⊂ (E)*. The elements in (E)* and (E) are called Hida distributions and test functions, respectively. A Hida distribution φ is defined to be finite dimensional if there exists a finite dimensional subspace V of E such that φbelongs to the (E)*-closure of polynomials in〈·, e1〉, 〈·, e2〉., 〈·, ek〉, where the ej′s span V. In this case, δ is said to be based on V. A test function φ is said to be finite dimensional if φ ∈ (E) and there exists a finite dimensional subspace V of E such that φ is based on V. Several characterization theorems for the finite dimensional Hida distributions and test functions are obtained. Approximation theorems of Hida distributions and test functions by finite dimensional Hida distributions and test functions, respectively, are proved. The characterization theorems are based on the Gel′fand triple H(Rk) ⊂ H0(Rk) ⊂ (H*(Rk) arising from the standard Gaussian measure on Rk and the operator e-tL, where L = Δ - ∑kj=1uj ∂/∂uj. Properties and characterizations of elements in H(Rk)(Rk) and H*(Rk) are also obtained. The classical Fourier transform on the space S*(Rk) of tempered distributions is extended to the space H*(Rk). The generalized Itô formula is proved for F(B(t)) with F ∈ H*(Rk). © 1995 Academic Press Limited

Investigation of the starting transients of high performance solid-propellant motors

The starting transients of solid propellant engines were investigated to develop design principles for predicting transients in high performance igniter and engine configurations. Research and diagnosis were conducted on the processes affecting ignition transients, such as heat flux, igniter, flame spreading over the surface, and nonsteady combustion gas dynamics. Abstracts of published reports related to this research are presented. Topics discussed include: development of an analytical model, analytical prediction of the entire ignition transient, transient behavior of pressure and regression rate during reignition after shut-down, and problems associated with restarting hybrid rocket engines

The concept of ‘law’ in global administrative law : a reply to Benedict Kingsbury

Departing from the Westphalian tradition, global administrative law is seen as arising from the pragmatic needs of transboundary regulation underpinned by a normative aspiration to rule of law beyond national boundaries. Unhinged from state consent, however, it faces a twofold challenge: legality and legitimacy. The former centers on the distinction between law and non-law; the latter is concerned with the legitimacy of global administrative law. Benedict Kingsbury’s The Concept of ‘Law’ in Global Administrative Law attempts to answer this twofold challenge by centering the new paradigm of international law, as epitomized by global administrative law, on the notion of publicness. First, he pins its solution on the substantive concept of publicness. Second, he portrays global administrative law as an inter-public law, governing the relationship among regulatory regimes in accordance with the value of publicness. This Reply argues that Kingsbury’s publicness-centered conception of international law does not resolve the challenges facing global administrative law. Rather, his version of global administrative law does not so much correspond to an inter-public law as points to a post-public conception of legitimacy, reflecting the trend of addressing the issue of fragmentation by tacitly adopting the strategy of privatization in global administrative law scholarship
