The non-relativistic quark model has been a useful tool in the study of hadrons. Baryons and mesons are described by quantum mechanical wavefunctions for nonrelativistic constituent quarks. The lowest lying baryons, the 81/2 and 103/2, are three quark states with wavefunctions which are completely antisymmetric in color, and completely symmetric in position and spin-flavor. The properties of ba...

We present a program that allows for the computation of tensor products of irreducible representations of Lie algebras A−G based on the explicit construction of weight states. This straightforward approach (which is slower and more memoryconsumptive than the standard methods to just calculate dimensions of the tensor product decomposition) produces Clebsch-Gordan coefficients that are of intere...

After careful introduction and discussion of the concepts involved, procedures are developed to compute Racah and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for general r-fold tensor products of the U(N) groups. In the process, the multiplicity of a given irreducible representation (irrep) in the direct sum basis is computed, and generalized Casimir operators are introduced to uniquely label the multiple irre...

We study the tensor category of modules over a semisimple bialgebra H under the assumption that irreducible H -modules of the same dimension >1 are isomorphic. We consider properties of Clebsch–Gordan coefficients showing multiplicities of occurrences of each irreducible H -module in a tensor product of irreducible ones. It is shown that, in general, these coefficients cannot have small values....

Context. The Herschel Space Observatory with its high-resolution instrument HIFI on board will observe the CH 1 → 0 and 2 → 1 rotational transitions in a wide range of gas temperatures up to 1000 K. Collisional parameters for such temperatures are thus welcome. Aims. We aim to obtain accurate rate coefficients for the collisional excitation of CH by He for high gas temperatures. Methods. The ab...

Parametrizations of the subgrid eddy-eddy and eddy-meanfield interactions are developed for the simulation of baroclinic ocean circulations representative of an idealized Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Benchmark simulations are generated using a spectral spherical harmonic quasi-geostrophic model with maximum truncation wavenumber of T=504, which is equivalent to a resolution of 0.24° globally....

Elucidating kinetic processes of protein-protein interactions (PPI) helps to understand how basic building blocks affect overall behavior of living systems. In this study, we used structure-based properties to build predictive models for kinetic constants of PPI. A highly diverse PPI dataset, protein-protein kinetic interaction data and structures (PPKIDS), was built. PPKIDS contains 62 PPI wit...
