Investigations on spectroscopic parameters, vibrational levels, classical turning points and inertial rotation and centrifugal distortion constants for the 1 ＋ X^1∑g^＋ state of sodium dimer

The density functional theory （B3LYP, B3P86） and the quadratic configuration-interaction method including single and double substitutions （QCISD（T）, QCISD） presented in Gaussian03 program package are employed to calculate the equilibrium internuclear distance Re, the dissociation energy De and the harmonic frequency We for the XIEg＋ state of sodium dimer in a number of basis sets. The conclusion is gained that the best Re, De and We results can be attained at the QCISD/6-311G（3df,3pd） level of theory. The potential energy curve at this level of theory for this state is obtained over a wide internuclear separation range from 0.16 to 2.0 nm and is fitted to the analytic Murrell-Sorbie function. The spectroscopic parameters De, DO, Re, ωe, ωe Xe, αe and Be are calculated to be 0.7219 eV, 0.7135 eV, 0.31813 nm, 151.63 cm^-1, 0.7288 cm^-1, 0.000729 cm^-1 and 0.1449 cm^-1, respectively, which are in good agreement with the measurements. With the potential obtained at the QCISD/6-311G（3df,3pd） level of theory, a total of 63 vibrational states is found when J = 0 by solving the radial SchrSdinger equation of nuclear motion. The vibrational level, corresponding classical turning point and inertial rotation constant are computed for each vibrational state. The centrifugal distortion constants （Dr Hv, Lv, Mv, Nv and Ov） are reported for the first time for the first 31 vibrational states when J = 0.

A Statistical Model for Investigating Climatic Trend Turning Points

A two-phase trend model is presented to investigate the turning-point signals of evolution trend in long-term series of a climatic element. Based on nonlinear fitting, the revised model brings out more evident improvement of the linear model proposed by Solow et al. (1987). Both theoretical deduction and case calculation show that our version can search the turning point and period accurately and objectively. In particular it is fit for computer exploring the turning points in long-range records from stations covering a large area, thus avoiding subjective judgement by a usual drawing method.

Ab initio calculations on the spectroscopic constants, vibrational levels and classical turning points for the 2^1Пu state of dimer ^7Li2

The accurate dissociation energy and harmonic frequency for the highly excited 2^1Пu state of dimer ^7Li2 have been calculated using a symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration-interaction method in complete active space. The calculated results are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements. The potential energy curves at numerous basis sets for this state are obtained over a wide internuclear separation range from about 2.4a0 to 37.0a0. And the conclusion is gained that the basis set 6-311＋＋G（d,p） is a most suitable one. The calculated spectroscopic constants De, Re, ωe, ωeχe, ae and Be at 6-311＋＋G（d,p） are 0.9670 eV, 0.3125 nm, 238.6 cm^-1, 1.3705 cm^-1, 0.0039 cm^-1 and 0.4921 cm^-1, respectively. The vibrational levels are calculated by solving the radial SchrSdinger equation of nuclear motion. A total of 53 vibrational levels are found and reported for the first time. The classical turning points have been computed. Comparing with the measurements, in which only the first nine vibrational levels have been obtained so far, the present calculations are very encouraging. A careful comparison of the present results of the parameters De and We with those obtained from previous theories clearly shows that the present calculations are much closer to the measurements than previous theoretical results, thus representing an improvement on the accuracy of the ab initio calculations of the potentials for this state.

A COMPLETE EXPRESSION OF THE ASYMPTOTIC SOLUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH THREE_TURNING POINTS

In this paper, a second order linear ordinary differential equation with three-turning points is studied. This equation is as follows (dx2)/(d2y) + [lambda(2)q(1)(x) + lambda q(2)(x, lambda)]y = 0, where q(1) (x) = (x - mu(1))(x - mu(2))(x - mu(3))f(x), f(x) not equal 0, mu(1) < mu(2) < mu(3) and lambda is a large parameter, but q(2)(x, lambda) = Sigma(i = 0)(epsilon a) g(i)(x)lambda(-i) (here g(0)(x) not equivalent to 0). By using JL function, the complete expression of the formal uniformly, valid asymptotic solutions of the equation near turning point is obtained.

Lewisian Turning Points in China：an EmpiricalApplication of the Minami Criteria

Widespread shortages of migrant labor in China have aroused acrimonious debate about whether the economy has arrived at the Lewisian turning point, which would have significant implications for policymakers. We collected panel data from China ＇s 31 provinces2 over the period 1990 to 2009 and conducted empirical test according to Minami＇s criteria. Our results indicate that China＇s economy has passed the first Lewisian turning point but do not provide evidence that China has reached the second Lewisian turning point.

Analysis on the turning point of dynamic in-plane compressive strength for a plain weave composite

Experimental investigations on dynamic in-plane compressive behavior of a plain weave composite were performed using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. A quantitative criterion for calculating the constant strain rate of composites was established. Then the upper limit of strain rate, restricted by stress equilibrium and constant loading rate, was rationally estimated and confirmed by tests. Within the achievable range of 0.001/s-895/s, it was found that the strength increased first and subsequently decreased as the strain rate increased. This feature was also reflected by the turning point(579/s) of the bilinear model for strength prediction. The transition in failure mechanism, from local opening damage to completely splitting destruction, was mainly responsible for such strain rate effects. And three major failure modes were summarized under microscopic observations: fiber fracture, inter-fiber fracture, and interface delamination. Finally, by introducing a nonlinear damage variable, a simplified ZWT model was developed to characterize the dynamic mechanical response. Excellent agreement was shown between the experimental and simulated results.

Design of a coated thinly clad chalcogenide long-period fiber grating refractive index sensor based on dual-peak resonance near the phase matching turning point

A novel method for designing chalcogenide long-period fiber grating(LPFG) sensors based on the dual-peak resonance effect of the LPFG near the phase matching turning point(PMTP) is presented. Refractive index sensing in a high-refractive-index chalcogenide fiber is achieved with a coated thinly clad film. The dual-peak resonant characteristics near the PMTP and the refractive index sensing properties of the LPFG are analyzed first by the phase-matching condition of the LPFG. The effects of film parameters and cladding radius on the sensitivity of refractive index sensing are further discussed. The sensor is optimized by selecting the appropriate film parameters and cladding radius. Simulation results show that the ambient refractive index sensitivity of a dual-peak coated thinly clad chalcogenide LPFG at the PMTP can be 2400 nm/RIU, which is significantly higher than that of non-optimized gratings. It has great application potential in the field of chemical sensing and biosensors.

Migrant Workers Age-Group Productivity Gap Is Key to Verifying Lewis Turning Point in Chin＊

This paper uses age-related productivity gaps to analyze the Lewis turning point in China. The age-related productivity gap implies that under same wage rate, older and less productive rural laborers working in cities will earn less than the reservation wage. Thus, they may elect instead to return to the countryside. Therefore, this paper argues that while the supply of younger, high-productivity migrant workers fails demand and Lewis turning point emerges, there still exists a high volume of lower-productivity rural surplus labor.

NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF NONLINEAR ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION FOR A TURNING POINT PROBLEM

The numerical result coincides with theoretical analysis.

Forced vibration and special effects of revolution shells in turning point range

The forced vibration in the turning point frequency range of a truncated revolution shell subject to a membrane drive or a bending drive at its small end or large end is studied by applying the uniformly valid solutions obtained in a previous paper. The vibration shows a strong coupling between the membrane and bending solutions： either the membrane drive or the bending drive causes motions of both the membrane type and bending type. Three interesting effects characteristic of the forced vibration emerge from the coupling nature： the non-bending effect, the inner-quiescent effect and the inner-membrane-motion-and-outer-bending-motion effect. These effects may have potential applications in engineering.
