in this research dft/b3lyp method has been employed to investigate the geometrical structures,relative stabilities, and electronic properties of cun (n=3–10) clusters for clarifying the effect of sizeon the properties. through a careful analysis of the successive binding energies, second-orderdifference of energy and the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps as afunct...

For each Dynkin diagram $D$, we define a ''cluster configuration space'' ${\mathcal{M}}_D$ and partial compactification ${\widetilde {\mathcal{M}}}_D$. $D = A_{n-3}$, have ${\mathcal{M}}_{A_{n-3}} {\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$, the space of $n$ points on ${\mathbb P}^1$, {\mathcal{M}}}_{A_{n-3}}$ was studied in this case by Brown. The {\mathcal{M}}}_D$ is smooth affine algebraic variety with stratificat...

Distributed applications are being deployed on ever-increasing scale and with ever-increasing functionality. Due to the accompanying increase in behavioural complexity, selfmanagement abilities, such as self-healing, have become core requirements. A key challenge is the smooth embedding of such functionality into our systems. Natural distributed systems such as ant colonies have evolved highly ...
