Properties from relativistic coupled-cluster without truncation: hyperfine constants of , , and
We demonstrate an iterative scheme for coupled-cluster properties
calculations without truncating the dressed properties operator. For
validation, magnetic dipole hyperfine constants of alkaline Earth ions are
calculated with relativistic coupled-cluster and role of electron correlation
examined. Then, a detailed analysis of the higher order terms is carried out.
Based on the results, we arrive at an optimal form of the dressed operator.
Which we recommend for properties calculations with relativistic
coupled-cluster theory.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 5 table
Massively Parallel Simulation of Structured Connectionist Networks: An Interim Report
We map structured connectionist models of knowledge representation and reasoning onto existing general purpose massively parallel architectures with the objective of developing and implementing practical, real-time knowledge base systems. Shruti, a connectionist knowledge representation and reasoning system which attempts to model reflexive reasoning, will serve as our representative connectionist model. Efficient simulation systems for shruti are developed on the Connection Machine CM-2 - an SIMD architecture - and on the Connection Machine CM-5 - an MIMD architecture. The resulting simulators are evaluated and tested using large, random knowledge bases with up to half a million rules and facts. Though SIMD simulations on the CM-2 are reasonably fast - requiring a few seconds to tens of seconds for answering simple queries - experiments indicate that MIMD simulations are vastly superior to SIMD simulations and offer hundred- to thousand-fold speedups. This work provides new insights into the simulation of structured connectionist networks on massively parallel machines and is a step toward developing large yet efficient knowledge representation and reasoning systems

A Connectionist Solution to the Multiple Instantiation Problem Using Temporal Synchrony
Shastri and Ajjanagadde have described a neurally plausible system for knowledge representation and reasoning that can represent systematic knowledge involving n-ary predicates and variables, and perform a broad class of reasoning with extreme efficiency. The system maintains and propagates variable bindings using temporally synchronous—i.e., in-phase — firing of appropriate nodes. This paper extends the reasoning system to incorporate multiple instantiation of predicates, so that any predicate can be instantiated up to k times, k being a system parameter. The ability to accommodate multiple instantiations of a predicate allows the system to handle a much broader class of rules, including bounded transitivity and recursion. The time and space requirements increase only by a constant factor, and the extended system can still answer queries in time proportional to the length of the shortest derivation of the query
Fock space relativistic coupled-Cluster calculations of Two-Valence Atoms
We have developed an all particle Fock-space relativistic coupled-cluster
method for two-valence atomic systems. We then describe a scheme to employ the
coupled-cluster wave function to calculate atomic properties. Based on these
developments we calculate the excitation energies, magnetic hyperfine constants
and electric dipole matrix elements of Sr, Ba and Yb. Further more, we
calculate the electric quadrupole HFS constants and the electric dipole matrix
elements of Sr, Ba and Yb. For these we use the one-valence
coupled-cluster wave functions obtained as an intermediate in the two-valence
calculations. We also calculate the magnetic dipole hyperfine constants of
Yb.Comment: 23 pages, 12 figures, 10 tables typos are corrected and some minor

Relativistic coupled-cluster calculations of Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe: correlation energies and dipole polarizabilities
We have carried out a detailed and systematic study of the correlation
energies of inert gas atoms Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe using relativistic many-body
perturbation theory and relativistic coupled-cluster theory. In the
relativistic coupled-cluster calculations, we implement perturbative triples
and include these in the correlation energy calculations. We then calculate the
dipole polarizability of the ground states using perturbed coupled-cluster
theory.Comment: 10 figures, 6 tables, submitted to PR
Using Synchronic and Diachronic Relations for Summarizing Multiple Documents Describing Evolving Events
In this paper we present a fresh look at the problem of summarizing evolving
events from multiple sources. After a discussion concerning the nature of
evolving events we introduce a distinction between linearly and non-linearly
evolving events. We present then a general methodology for the automatic
creation of summaries from evolving events. At its heart lie the notions of
Synchronic and Diachronic cross-document Relations (SDRs), whose aim is the
identification of similarities and differences between sources, from a
synchronical and diachronical perspective. SDRs do not connect documents or
textual elements found therein, but structures one might call messages.
Applying this methodology will yield a set of messages and relations, SDRs,
connecting them, that is a graph which we call grid. We will show how such a
grid can be considered as the starting point of a Natural Language Generation
System. The methodology is evaluated in two case-studies, one for linearly
evolving events (descriptions of football matches) and another one for
non-linearly evolving events (terrorist incidents involving hostages). In both
cases we evaluate the results produced by our computational systems.Comment: 45 pages, 6 figures. To appear in the Journal of Intelligent

Focusing of Spin Polarization in Semiconductors by Inhomogeneous Doping
We study the evolution and distribution of non-equilibrium electron spin
polarization in n-type semiconductors within the two-component drift-diffusion
model in an applied electric field. Propagation of spin-polarized electrons
through a boundary between two semiconductor regions with different doping
levels is considered. We assume that inhomogeneous spin polarization is created
locally and driven through the boundary by the electric field. The electric
field distribution and spin polarization distribution are calculated
numerically. We show that an initially created narrow region of spin
polarization can be further compressed and amplified near the boundary. Since
the boundary involves variation of doping but no real interface between two
semiconductor materials, no significant spin-polarization loss is expected. The
proposed mechanism will be therefore useful in designing new spintronic
devices
Radiation-induced oscillatory magnetoresistance as a sensitive probe of the zero-field spin splitting in high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs devices
We suggest an approach for characterizing the zero-field spin splitting of
high mobility two-dimensional electron systems, when beats are not readily
observable in the Shubnikov-de Haas effect. The zero-field spin splitting and
the effective magnetic field seen in the reference frame of the electron is
evaluated from a quantitative study of beats observed in radiation-induced
magnetoresistance oscillations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 color figure
