We studied the laser-molecule interaction dynamics that leads to the asymmetric D+ ion ejection in the dissociative ionization of D2 molecules observed recently in Kling et al. [Science 312, 246 (2006)10.1126/science.1126259]. By changing the carrier-envelope phase, we showed that the asymmetry is a consequence of manipulating the initial ionization and the rescattering of the electrons within ...

T. Curron and D. L. Hintzman (1995) claim to have shown that the independence assumption underlying the process-dissociation procedure (L. L. Jacoby, 1991) is not justified. They argued that correlations between processes at the level of items can result in an underestimation of automatic processes large enough to produce artifactual dissociations between process estimates. In contrast, the aut...

This paper considers an improvement of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in the presence of missing data. EMD has been widely used to decompose nonlinear and nonstationary signals into some components according to intrinsic frequency called intrinsic mode functions. However, the conventional EMD may not be efficient when missing values are present. This paper proposes a modified EMD procedure ...

Several recent theories of the kinetics of diffusion influenced excited-state association--dissociation reactions are tested against accurate Brownian dynamics simulation results for a wide range of parameters. The theories include the relaxation time approximation (RTA), multiparticle kernel decoupling approximations and the so-called kinetic theory. In the irreversible limit, none of these th...

Density functional calculations are performed to identify features observed in STM experiments after phosphine (PH3) dosing of the Si(001) surface. On the basis of a comprehensive survey of possible structures, energetics, and simulated STM images, three prominent STM features are assigned to structures containing surface bound PH2, PH, and P, respectively. Collectively, the assigned features o...

The present study investigated the relationship between trait dissociation and peritraumatic dissociation during acute painful stimulation. In a sample of 70 undergraduate students, peritraumatic dissociation was induced by means of a cold pressor test, which basically consists of participants holding an arm in ice water for as long as possible. Results indicate that heightened trait dissociati...

A case of atrioventricular dissociation with RP-dependent abrupt prolongation of ventricular cycles is presented. The prolongation was less than expected with concealed junctional captures. It is assumed that resetting of an upper junctional pacemaker allowed impulses from a lower one to escape.
