By inter-comparing exhaustively the results of wavelet analysis of the sunspot cycles and apparently associated oscillations in the time series of the zonal winds over the tropics, we found convincing evidences of the frequency shift of the oscillations, especially in the lower troposphere. The frequency of the oscillations forced by sunspot cycle decreased considerably in the lower troposphere...

Peripheral substitution with electron-donating (push) and electron-withdrawing (pull) substituents caused a sizeable red-shift of the Q band absorption and fluorescence of subporphyrazine, and the red-shift was controlled by the push substituents. Control of the chromophore symmetry and inherent molecular chirality arising from the pattern of substitution were also investigated.

We present a comprehensive study of the observational constraints on spatially flat cosmological models containing a mixture of matter and quintessence — a time varying, spatially inhomogeneous component of the energy density of the universe with negative pressure. Our study also includes the limiting case of a cosmological constant. We classify the observational constraints by red shift: low r...

SiOC films prepared by the capacitively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, nanoindentation, capacitance and Xray diffraction patterns to observe the crystallinity and chemical shift of SiOC. The capacitance decreased after annealing process, and the dielectric constant was also decreased by annealing due to the reduction of polariz...
