Long-Run Purchasing Power Parity with Asymmetric Adjustment: Evidence from Mainland China and Taiwan
This study applies threshold cointegration test advanced by Enders and Siklos (2001) to investigate the properties of asymmetric adjustment in long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) for both Mainland China and Taiwan during the January 1986 to October 2009 period. Although there is evidence of long-run PPP for both Mainland China and Taiwan, the adjustment mechanism is asymmetric. These results have important policy implications for both Mainland China and Taiwan under study.threshold cointegration test; Purchasing Power Parity; asymmetric adjustment; Mainland China; Taiwan
Electronic, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties of americium dioxide
By performing density functional theory (DFT) + calculations, we
systematically study the electronic, mechanical, tensile, and thermodynamic
properties of AmO. The experimentally observed antiferromagnetic
insulating feature [J. Chem. Phys. 63, 3174 (1975)] is successfully reproduced.
It is found that the chemical bonding character in AmO is similar to that
in PuO, with smaller charge transfer and stronger covalent interactions
between americium and oxygen atoms. The valence band maximum and conduction
band minimum are contributed by 2 hybridized and 5 electronic states
respectively. The elastic constants and various moduli are calculated, which
show that AmO is less stable against shear forces than PuO. The
stress-strain relationship of AmO is examined along the three low-index
directions by employing the first-principles computational tensile test method.
It is found that similar to PuO, the [100] and [111] directions are the
strongest and weakest tensile directions, respectively, but the theoretical
tensile strengths of AmO are smaller than those of PuO. The phonon
dispersion curves of AmO are calculated and the heat capacities as well
as lattice expansion curve are subsequently determined. The lattice thermal
conductance of AmO is further evaluated and compared with attainable
experiments. Our present work integrally reveals various physical properties of
AmO and can be referenced for technological applications of AmO
based materials.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figure
Hadronic Transition chi(c1)(1P) to eta(c) plus two pions at the Beijing Spectrometer BES and the Cornell CLEO-c
Hadronic transitions of the chi(cj)(1P) states have not been studied yet. We
calculate the rate of the hadronic transition chi(c1)(1P) to eta(c) plus two
pions in the framework of QCD multipole expansion. We show that this process
can be studied experimentally at the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer BES III and
the Cornell CLEO-c.Comment: 6 pages RevTex4(two-column). Version published in Phys. Rev. D 75,

(E)-Methyl N′-[1-(4-methoxyÂphenÂyl)ethylÂidene]hydrazinecarboxylÂate
The molÂecule of the title compound, C11H14N2O3, adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the hydrazinecarboxylÂate plane is 12.06 (9)°. MolÂecules are linked into a one-dimensional network by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π interÂactions. The benzene rings of inversion-related molÂecules are stacked with their centroids separated by 3.777 (1) Å, indicating π–π interÂactions
