A new and efficient approach to time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory for optical spectroscopy
Using a super-operator formulation of linearized time-dependent
density-functional theory, the dynamical polarizability of a system of
interacting electrons is given a matrix continued-fraction representation whose
coefficients can be obtained from the non-symmetric block-Lanczos method. The
resulting algorithm allows for the calculation of the {\em full spectrum} of a
system with a computational workload which is only a few times larger than that
needed for {\em static} polarizabilities within time-independent
density-functional perturbation theory. The method is demonstrated with the
calculation of the spectrum of benzene, and prospects for its application to
the large-scale calculation of optical spectra are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Density of states "width parity" effect in d-wave superconducting quantum wires
We calculate the density of states (DOS) in a clean mesoscopic d-wave
superconducting quantum wire, i.e. a sample of infinite length but finite width
. For open boundary conditions, the DOS at zero energy is found to be zero
if is even, and nonzero if is odd. At finite chemical potential, all
chains are gapped but the qualtitative differences between even and odd
remain.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures, new figures and extended discussio

Predicting long-term outcome after acute ischemic stroke: a simple index works in patients from controlled clinical trials
Background and Purpose—An early and reliable prognosis for recovery in stroke patients is important for initiation of
individual treatment and for informing patients and relatives. We recently developed and validated models for predicting survival and functional independence within 3 months after acute stroke, based on age and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score assessed within 6 hours after stroke. Herein we demonstrate the applicability of our models in an independent sample of patients from controlled clinical trials.
Methods—The prognostic models were used to predict survival and functional recovery in 5419 patients from the Virtual
International Stroke Trials Archive (VISTA). Furthermore, we tried to improve the accuracy by adapting intercepts and
estimating new model parameters.
Results—The original models were able to correctly classify 70.4% (survival) and 72.9% (functional recovery) of patients. Because the prediction was slightly pessimistic for patients in the controlled trials, adapting the intercept improved the accuracy to 74.8% (survival) and 74.0% (functional recovery). Novel estimation of parameters, however, yielded no relevant further improvement.
Conclusions—For acute ischemic stroke patients included in controlled trials, our easy-to-apply prognostic models based
on age and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score correctly predicted survival and functional recovery after 3
months. Furthermore, a simple adaptation helps to adjust for a different prognosis and is recommended if a large data
set is available. (Stroke. 2008;39:000-000.

A Multi-Level Mathematical Model of the CO Catalytic Conversion Process
This paper presents a three-level modelling approach to the catalytic carbon monoxide oxidation in a temperature range between 400 K – 800 K. The first level involves the description of the chemical kinetics for the exothermic reactions on the catalyst surface. The second level models the thermal and hydrodynamic processes in the boundary diffusion layer between the catalyst surface and the reactive stream. Finally, the third modelling level focuses on the representation of the hydrodynamic and thermal properties for the bulk multi-component gas flow at various gas velocity and temperature ranges. The dynamic behaviour of the reactive system has been studied through simulated runs
