Communication: Conical Intersections Between Vibrationally Adiabatic Surfaces in Methanol

A set of seven conical intersections (CI’s) in methanol between vibrationally adiabatic surfaces is reported. The intersecting surfaces represent the energies of the two asymmetric CH stretch vibrations regarded as adiabatic functions of the torsion and COH bend angles. The ab initio data are well described by an extended Zwanziger and Grant (E ⊗ e) model [J. W. Zwanziger and E. R. Grant, J. Chem. Phys. 87, 2954 (1987)] that might also be regarded as an extension of the XHL model [L.-H. Xu, J. T. Hougen, and R. M. Lees, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 293–294, 38 (2013)]. The CI\u27s illuminate the role of geometric phase in methanol. More generally, they suggest the importance of energy transfer processes localized near the CI’s

Some aspects of hypersonic flow over power law bodies

This study concerns the hypersonic flow over blunt bodies in two specific cases. The first is the case when the Mach number is infinite and the ratio of the specific heats approaches one. This is sometimes referred to as the ‘Newtonian limit’. The second is the case of infinite Mach number and very large streamwise distance from the blunt nose with a strong shock wave, or the ‘blast wave limit’. In both cases attention is restricted to power law bodies. Experiments are described of such flows at M∞ = 7.55 in air. The Newtonian flow over bodies of the shape y ∝ x^m at zero incidence is shown to be divisible into three regions: the attached layer at small x, the free layer and the blast wave region. As m increases from zero, the free-layer region reduces in extent until it disappears at m = 1/(2+j) (j = 1 and 0 for axisymmetric and plane flow respectively). A difficulty arises in a transition solution of the type given by Freeman (1962b) connecting the free layer with the blast wave result. At m > 2/(3+j) the attached layer merges smoothly into the Lees-Kubota solution which replaces the blast-wave result in this range. In the blast wave limit, solutions were obtained for flow over axisymmetric power law shapes in the range [fraction one-half]γ < m < ½. Second-order results taking account of the body shape are given. These solutions are compared with experimental results obtained in air at a free stream Mach number of 7.55 and stagnation temperature of 630 °K, as well as with numerical solutions at Mach number of 100. The numerical method is tested by comparing solutions corresponding to the experimental conditions with experiment

Time spent at home poststroke: “home-time” a meaningful and robust outcome measure for stroke trials

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background and Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; Stroke outcome assessment requires some measure of functional recovery. Several instruments are in common use but all have recognized limitations. We examined duration of stay in the patient’s own home over the first 90 days since stroke—"home-time"—as an alternative outcome likely to show graded response with improved reliability.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Methods:&lt;/b&gt; We examined prospectively collected data from the GAIN International trial using analysis of variance with Bonferroni contrasts of adjacent modified Rankin scale score categories.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; We had full outcome data from 1717 of 1788 patients. Increasing home-time was associated with improved modified Rankin scale scores (P&#60;0.0001). The relationship held across all modified Rankin scale grades except 4 to 5.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; Home-time offers a robust, useful, and easily validated outcome measure for stroke, particularly across better recovery levels.&lt;/p&gt

Measurement of the B0-anti-B0-Oscillation Frequency with Inclusive Dilepton Events

The $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ oscillation frequency has been measured with a sample of 23 million \B\bar B pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. In this sample, we select events in which both B mesons decay semileptonically and use the charge of the leptons to identify the flavor of each B meson. A simultaneous fit to the decay time difference distributions for opposite- and same-sign dilepton events gives $\Delta m_d = 0.493 \pm 0.012{(stat)}\pm 0.009{(syst)}$ ps$^{-1}$.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, submitted to Physical Review Letter
