Density-metric unimodular gravity:vacuum spherical symmetry

We analyze an alternative theory of gravity characterized by metrics that are tensor density of rank(0,2)and weight-1/2.The metric compatibility condition is supposed to hold. The simplest expression for the action of gravitational field is used.Taking the metric and trace of connections as dynamical variables,the field equations in the absence of matter and other kinds of sources are derived.The solutions of these equations are obtained for the case of vacuum static spherical symmetric spacetime.The null geodesics and advance of perihelion of ellipes are discussed.We confirm a subclass of solutions is regular for r>0 and there is no event horizon while it is singular at r=0.Comment: 15 pages,no,figures,typos corrected,new section added,published versio

The lowest singlet-triplet excitation energy of BN: a converged coupled cluster perspective

The notoriously small $X ^3\Pi-a ^1\Sigma^+$ excitation energy of the BN diatomic has been calculated using high-order coupled cluster methods. Convergence has been established in both the 1-particle basis set and the coupled cluster expansion. Explicit inclusion of connected quadruple excitations $\hat{T}_4$ is required for even semiquantitative agreement with the limit value, while connected quintuple excitations $\hat{T}_5$ still have an effect of about 60 cm$^{-1}$. Still higher excitations only account for about 10 cm$^{-1}$. Inclusion of inner-shell correlation further reduces $T_e$ by about 60 cm$^{-1}$ at the CCSDT, and 85 cm$^{-1}$ at the CCSDTQ level. Our best estimate, $T_e$=183$\pm$40 cm$^{-1}$, is in excellent agreement with earlier calculations and experiment, albeit with a smaller (and conservative) uncertainty. The dissociation energy of BN($X ^3\Pi$) is $D_e$=105.74$\pm$0.16 kcal/mol and $D_0$=103.57$\pm$0.16 kcal/mol.Comment: J. Chem. Phys., in pres

Order preserving pattern matching on trees and DAGs

The order preserving pattern matching (OPPM) problem is, given a pattern string $p$ and a text string $t$, find all substrings of $t$ which have the same relative orders as $p$. In this paper, we consider two variants of the OPPM problem where a set of text strings is given as a tree or a DAG. We show that the OPPM problem for a single pattern $p$ of length $m$ and a text tree $T$ of size $N$ can be solved in $O(m+N)$ time if the characters of $p$ are drawn from an integer alphabet of polynomial size. The time complexity becomes $O(m \log m + N)$ if the pattern $p$ is over a general ordered alphabet. We then show that the OPPM problem for a single pattern and a text DAG is NP-complete

Beberapa Metode Pengambilan Ektoparasit Pada Burung Merpati Pos (Columba Livia Gmelen)

JANITA AZIZ & M. AMIR. 1988.Some ectoparasites collecting methods of racing pigeon (Columba livia Gmelin). Berita Biologi 3(8):382 - 385.Extraction of ectoparasites of living racing pigeons was done using modified "Fait Isle".The insectisides used for the extraction were pyrethrum,caumaphos and chloroform.The number of acarines extracted during the night was higher than that during the day.In addition insecticides spraying treatment extracted more acarines than fumigation.From the 3 kinds of insecticides used,chloroform proved to kill more acarines than the other two insecticides

W4 theory for computational thermochemistry: in pursuit of confident sub-kJ/mol predictions

In an attempt to improve on our earlier W3 theory [J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 120}, 4129 (2004)] we consider such refinements as more accurate estimates for the contribution of connected quadruple excitations ($\hat{T}_4$), inclusion of connected quintuple excitations ($\hat{T}_5$), diagonal Born-Oppenheimer corrections (DBOC), and improved basis set extrapolation procedures. Revised experimental data for validation purposes were obtained from the latest version of the ATcT (Active Thermochemical Tables) Thermochemical Network. We found that the CCSDTQ$-$CCSDT(Q) difference converges quite rapidly with the basis set, and that the formula 1.10[CCSDT(Q)/cc-pVTZ+CCSDTQ/cc-pVDZ$-$CCSDT(Q)/cc-pVDZ] offers a very reliable as well as fairly cost-effective estimate of the basis set limit $\hat{T}_4$ contribution. The largest $\hat{T}_5$ contribution found in the present work is on the order of 0.5 kcal/mol (for ozone). DBOC corrections are significant at the 0.1 kcal/mol level in hydride systems. . Based on the accumulated experience, a new computational thermochemistry protocol for first-and second-row main-group systems, to be known as W4 theory, is proposed. Our W4 atomization energies for a number of key species are in excellent agreement (better than 0.1 kcal/mol on average, 95% confidence intervals narrower than 1 kJ/mol) with the latest experimental data obtained from Active Thermochemical Tables. A simple {\em a priori} estimate for the importance of post-CCSD(T) correlation contributions (and hence a pessimistic estimate for the error in a W2-type calculation) is proposed.Comment: J. Chem.
