The paper starts from the human influenza’s spreading phenomenon, as a complex of observable occurrences, and develops a stochastic process, defined as a set of procedures that convert its initial state into a sequence of different states during the phenomenon’s lifespan. The Monte Carlo simulation method for a stochastic discrete event system is used. This system is completely described in ter...

A new method for constructing empirical valence bond potential energy surfaces for reactions is presented. Building on the generalized Gaussian approach of Chang-Miller, V12(2)(q) is represented by a Gaussian times a polynomial at the transition state and generalized to handle any number of data points on the potential energy surface. The method is applied to two model surfaces and the HCN isom...

We study the transfer of angular momentum guided photons to a two-level atom with an electric quadrupole transition near optical nanofiber. show that generation axial orbital torque driving field on is governed by internal-state selection rules for and conservation law photon given in Minkowski formulation. find depends momentum, change atomic internal state, quadrupole-transition Rabi frequenc...

A real world environment is often partially observable by the agents either because of noisy sensors or incomplete perception. Moreover, it has continuous state space in nature, and agents must decide on an action for each point in internal continuous belief space. Consequently, it is convenient to model this type of decisionmaking problems as Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POM...

The eigenvalues of the isotropic magnetic interaction system extraction from Internal Field Approximation (IFA) q e computed. on the basis of RKKY for the complicated magnetic behaviour of Gd, X system X= (Au , Pt , Al , In ) as well as Gd. From the strength and slope of eigenvalue curves in different ranges of interaction the strength and sharpness of the magnetic transition can be suggest...

This work investigates the unimolecular dissociation of the methoxycarbonyl, CH(3)OCO, radical. Photolysis of methyl chloroformate at 193 nm produces nascent CH(3)OCO radicals with a distribution of internal energies, determined by the velocities of the momentum-matched Cl atoms, that spans the theoretically predicted barriers to the CH(3)O + CO and CH(3) + CO(2) product channels. Both electron...

It has been said that the only constant in life is change. This rule can also be directly applied to the lives of organizations. Any organization of non-trivial size, scope, life expectancy or function, is destined to change. An organization without the ability to transition is not robust, evolvable or adaptable within its environment. These basic preconditions to human organizations must also ...

A new time-dependent approach to the cumulative reaction probability, N(E), has been developed based on the famous formulation given by Miller and co-workers @J. Chem. Phys. 79, 4889 ~1983!#, N(E)5@(2p)/2# tr@d(E2H)Fd(E2H)F# . Taking advantage of the fact that the flux operator has only two nonzero eigenvalues, we evaluate the trace efficiently in a direct product basis of the first flux operat...
