Theoretical spectroscopy: Full quantum dynamical study of the vibrational structure of hydrated hydroxide

In many processes, the impact of nuclear quantum phenomena cannot be neglected if a physically correct simulation is aimed for [1]. This quantum description of the nuclear motion is usually obtained by mapping the system onto a grid, thus implying a discretisation of the configuration space. As a consequence, all quantities take the form of high-order tensors. Unfortunately, multidimensional representations imply an exponential scaling of data and the concomitant number of operations with system size as well as the difficulty of computing multidimensional integrals [2]. Solutions to these issues, in particular when considering the representation of the potential energy surface, exist in the form of tensor-decomposition schemes. We present the recently developed the Multigrid POTFIT (MGPF) algorithm [3] which alleviates the exponential scaling by avoiding the calculations on the full grid. Moreover, we introduceour latest improvements to the algorithm which provide numerical stability and higher accuracy through the use of non-product grids for combined modes [4]. We illustrate the power of the MGPF algorithm in conjunction with the Multiconfiguration Time-Dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method in the case of the full-dimensional (9D) study of the vibrational structure [5] and the computation of the infrared spectrum [6] of the hydrated hydroxide complex (H3O2-).

Special Interrogation Report: Brigadefuhrer Kurt Meyer Command, 12th SS Panzer Division (6 June-25 August 1944)

Brigadefuhrer Kurt Meyer remains a controversial figure in Canadian military history. As a commander of Waffen-SS troops in Normandy, he fought the Canadians in the days and weeks after the Allied landings and allegedly ordered the killing of prisoners of war. A Canadian military court at Aurich in occupied Germany tried and convicted Meyer on charges of war crimes. Although sentenced to death, Meyer received commutation to life imprisonment from the convening authority, Major-General Chris Vokes. Meyer was imprisoned in New Brunswick and West Germany until his release in 1954. Several significant political, legal, public opinion, diplomatic, and military factors worked together to turn Meyer into Canada\u27s most notorious war criminal. His trial raised delicate issues of command responsibility for the first time, while Meyer and his formation, the 12th SS Panzer Division, became almost household names in some parts of Canada. Some Canadians may have genuinely hated the man and his ideals, but Meyer garnered curiosity and respect for his abilities as a fighting officer. A combat veteran of campaigns in Poland, the West, the Balkans, and the Eastern Front, Meyer felt most comfortable at the front of his troops. The inclination was borne from years of experience in the reconnaissance role and a personal disregard for danger. Meyer was among the best-regarded silver foxes of the Waffen-SS, the combat arm of Heinrich Himmler\u27s Schutzstaffel. Meyer likely did not believe that he would survive the war; this fact may have played some part in his complicity in the killing of Canadian prisoners of war behind the lines. Winning the battle or to die trying in a heroic fashion was always his first concern. After being captured alive, Meyer became the subject of several interrogations to further investigations for his eventual war crimes prosecution and to assess Canadian and German battlefield performance during the Normandy campaign. The following document gives good insights into Meyer’s background, his unwavering adherence to the Nazi cause, the obvious pride in his formation’s conduct, and the tactical battles against the Canadians in Normandy. This interview was conducted by the G Intelligence officer at the HQ of Canadian Forces in the Netherlands on 24 August 1945. In terms of operational details on the battlefield, Meyer demonstrated a remarkable memory, which proved less forthcoming on other matters during his war crimes trial. Meyer obviously inflated his own role and that of the troops under his command in operations. Canadian interrogators, on the other hand, added their own analysis of Meyer’s claims. While furnishing an important perspective from the enemy’s side, this interrogation report must be used with the standard checks for bias and reliability in any primary source

Causal Loops in Time Travel

About the possibility of time traveling based on several specialized works, including those of Nicholas J. J. Smith ("Time Travel"), William Grey (”Troubles with Time Travel”), Ulrich Meyer (”Explaining causal loops”), Simon Keller and Michael Nelson (”Presentists should believe in time-travel”), Frank Arntzenius and Tim Maudlin ("Time Travel and Modern Physics"), and David Lewis (“The Paradoxes of Time Travel”). The article begins with an Introduction in which I make a short presentation of the time travel, and continues with a History of the concept of time travel, main physical aspects of time travel, including backward time travel in the past in general relativity and quantum physics, and time travel in the future, then a presentation of the Grandfather paradox that is approached in almost all specialized works, followed by a section dedicated to the Philosophy of time travel, and a section in which I analyze Causal loops for time travel. I finish my work with Conclusions, in which I sustain my personal opinions on the time travel, and the Bibliography on which the work is based

Erratum: "Post-T Tauri Stars in the Nearest OB Association" (AJ, 124, 1670 [2002])

A few typos in Mamajek, Meyer, & Liebert (2002, AJ, 124, 1670) have been corrected in this erratum (including two stellar misidentifications and an incorrect power in the units of a slope). The most significant is the correction of a sign error in the published polynomial conversion between Tycho and Johnson-Cousins (B-V) colors.Comment: 1 page, to appear in April 2006 Astronomical Journa
