Signal-strength-aware routing in wireless ad hoc networks
Creators: name: Gupta, Abhinav
Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: Bibliography: p. 89-92
description: The advent of wireless technologies has led to widescale deployment of wireless computer networks. The need to communicate tetherlessly has led to the growth of Ad hoc Networks that do not rely on fixed infrastructure for their operation. The participants in the network need a routing protocol to communicate if they are not within direct transmission range of each other. This thesis focuses on the design, im­plementation, and performance evaluation of a Signal-Strength-Aware version of the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. The first part of this thesis surveys existing routing protocols for Ad hoc net­works and critically analyzes them from an implementation perspective. AODV is chosen as a basis for experiments because of its on-demand hop-by-hop approach to routing. The second part of this thesis describes an extension to AODV to incor­porate Signal-Strength-Aware routing. This allows AODV to choose stable routes. The thesis describes the design and implementation of signal-strength-aware routing, based on Uppsala University's implementation of AODV. The thesis concludes with experimental evaluation of the protocol in a small (4 hop) wireless ad hoc network. The experimental results demonstrate the functionality and performance of signal­strength-aware AODV. The results show that TCP throughput decreases significantly with the number of hops in a multi-hop wireless ad hoc network. This property is true for both stationary and mobile clients. Route discovery time varies depending on the wireless channel conditions. The routing protocol overhead increases with the number of hops, but remains below 4.25% in the scenarios studied.
Do psychological interventions impact on actuarial measures: an analysis of the predictive validity of the static-99 and static-2002 on a re-conviction measure of sexual recidivism
Creators: name: Haag, Andrew Mark
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2005

description: This study examined the differential predictive validity of the Static-99 and Static-2002 among treatment completers, dropouts, and non-starters. The researcher acquired archival data on a cohort of adult male sexual offenders who received a Federal sentence in Canada. In particular, this study examined all sexual offenders in Canada that met the Static-99 definition of a sexual offence that reached warrant expiry in 1995 (n = 674). The dependent variable in this study was reconviction for a sexual offence within seven years of an offender's warrant expiry date. Results revealed that the Static-99 was able to significantly predict the sexual recidivism of treatment completers and treatment dropouts; however, its predictive ability was not significant with treatment non-starters. The Static-2002 was found to have significant predictive validity with treatment completers and nonstarters. Post-hoe analyses on the differences between treatment non-starters, completers, and dropouts were performed.
Psychologist and client spirituality in psychotherapy: an exploratory study
Creators: name: Habermann, Sharon Marie Reimer
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 154-162
description: This study employed exploratory research methods to examine the spirituality of 20 psychologists and 50 clients. Measures included the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) the Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale - Revised (SIBS-R), and client form of the Working Alliance Inventory (W AI-C). Two non-standardized measures were also employed. Results indicated that compared to clients, proportionally fewer psychologists identified themselves as "religious". However, psychologists had higher SWBS and SIBS-R scores. The greatest area of difference between psychologists and clients was in the area of existential well-being, with psychologists showing notably higher existential well-being than clients. The majority of clients reported a deepening or increase in the affective or intrapsychic areas of spirituality as a result of therapy. Conversely, the majority of clients reported no change in spiritual beliefs or overt practices (e.g., prayer) as a result of therapy. Clients with higher SWBS and SIBS-R scores more often noted a deepening or increase in spirituality as a result of therapy. Positive associations were noted between SWBS, SIBS-R, and W AI-C scores. A Principal Components Analysis identified two independent components; spirituality and the working alliance. Several suggested hypotheses include: (a) psychologists may view "religion" as more pejorative than clients, despite potentially higher levels of religious and spiritual well-being among psychologists, (b) psychotherapy and spirituality overlap, particularly in the area of existential well-being, (c) existential well-being and the more affective, intrapsychic aspects of spirituality are more amenable to change as a result of therapy, ( d) clients with higher levels of spirituality are more likely to report positive changes in spirituality as a result of therapy, (e) psychotherapy does not decrease client spirituality, (f) clients with higher levels of spirituality are more likely to have a strong working alliance, and (g) for clients with low levels of spirituality, the formation of a strong working alliance may be more difficult. Examination of psychologists with lower levels of spirituality is recommended for future studies. Also, use of the SWBS is not recommended in future studies apart from theo- and Eurocentric groups.

description: Context. Photon orbital angular momentum (POAM) is normally invoked in a quantum mechanical context. It can, however, also be adapted to the classical regime, which includes observational astronomy. Aims. I explain why POAM quantities are excellent metrics for describing the end-to-end behavior of astronomical systems. To demonstrate their utility, I calculate POAM probabilities and torques from holography measurements of EVLA antenna surfaces. Methods. With previously defined concepts and calculi, I present generic expressions for POAM spectra, total POAM, torque spectra, and total torque in the image plane. I extend these functional forms to describe the specific POAM behavior of single telescopes and interferometers. Results. POAM probabilities of spatially uncorrelated astronomical sources are symmetric in quantum number. Such objects have zero intrinsic total POAM on the celestial sphere, which means that the total POAM in the image plane is identical to the total torque induced by aberrations within propagation media & instrumentation. The total torque can be divided into source- independent and dependent components, and the latter can be written in terms of three illustrative forms. For interferometers, complications arise from discrete sampling of synthesized apertures, but they can be overcome. POAM also manifests itself in the apodization of each telescope in an array. Holography of EVLA antennas observing a point source indicate that ~ 10% of photons in the n = 0 state are torqued to n != 0 states. Conclusions. POAM quantities represent excellent metrics for characterizing instruments because they are used to simultaneously describe amplitude and phase aberrations. In contrast, Zernike polynomials are just solutions of a differential equation that happen to ~ correspond to specific types of aberrations and are typically employed to fit only phases.

description: Feruloyltyramine and 4-coumaroyltyramine participate in the defense of plants against pathogens through their extracellular peroxidative polymerization, which is thought to reduce cell wall digestibility or otherwise inhibit fungal growth. Hydroxycinnamoyl­CoA:tyramine N-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase (THT) and tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC) are purported to play key roles in the stress-induced regulation of tyramine­derived hydroxycinnamic acid amide (HCAAT) biosynthesis. Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi) was engineered to constitutively express tobacco THT. A T₁ plant over-expressing THT was crossbred with T₁ tobacco expressing opium poppy TYDC2 to produce a T₂ line with elevated THT and TYDC activities compared with wild type plants. The effects of an independent increase in TYDC or THT activity, or a dual increase in both TYDC and THT on the cellular pools of HCAAT pathway intermediates and the accumulation of soluble and cell wall-bound feruloyltyrarnine and 4-coumaroyltyramine were examined. In roots, THT and TYDC activities were not substantially altered in transgenic lines beyond their relatively high wild type levels; thus, no changes in HCAAT precursor or product levels were detected. In leaves, increased TYDC activity resulted in a larger cellular pool of tyramine, and lower levels of phenylalanine. In contrast, elevated THT activity reduced tyramine levels. HCAAT levels were low in healthy leaves, but were induced in response to wounding and accumulated around wound sites. Similarly, endogenous THT and TYDC activities were wound-induced. The initial rate of wound-induced HCAAT accumulation was highest in transgenic plants with elevated THT and TYDC activities. These results show that both THT and TYDC exert partial and synergistic control over the flux of intermediates involved in HCAAT biosynthesis under some conditions.

description: Reaction-diffusion (RD) mechanisms in chemical and biological systems can yield a variety of patterns that may be functionally important. We show that diffusive coupling through the inactivating component in a generic model of coupled relaxation oscillators give rise to a wide range of spatio-temporal phenomena. Apart from analytically explaining the genesis of anti-phase synchronization and spatially patterned oscillatory death regimes in the model system, we report the existence of a chimera state, characterized by spatial co-occurrence of patches with distinct dynamics. We also observe propagating phase defects in both one- and two-dimensional media resembling persistent structures in cellular automata, whose interactions may be used for computation in RD systems.

Improving modeling of other agents for behavior prediction using stereotypes and compactification of observations

description: Some pages are in colour.
description: This thesis presents two improvements to the Observed Situation-Action Pairs and the Nearest Neighbor Rule (OSAPs and NNR) modeling method. Reevaluative stereo­typing with switching deals with poor prediction accuracy resulting from modeling with few OSAPs by using a stereotype to model others, and incorporating periodic reevaluations and the ability to switch between stereotypes or to the basic modeling method to ensure the validity of a chosen stereotype and of the stereotyping process itself. Compactification of OSAPs through kd-tree structuring deals with poor modeling efficiency resulting from modeling with many OSAPs by structuring OSAPs according to a kd-tree and using a Pseudo-Approximate Nearest Neighbor search for modeling. Our experiments shows that using a correct stereotype improves modeling performance and reevaluations and switching prevent incorrect stereotypes from causing substantial damage, and that compactification can improve modeling efficiency - but may affect modeling performance.
An experimental investigation of the effect of acoustical excitation on gas flare in a cross flow

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 65-68
description: An experimental work was carried out to investigate the effect of acoustical excitation on the combustion of a fuel jet in a cross-wind of air. Excitation was found to augment mixing. Increasing the exciting amplitude augments the performance up to the quenching limit, while increasing Strouhal number (frequency of excitation) reduces mixing time scale with an optimum of 0.25. Circular and elliptical nozzles were investigated, in addition to a cup design. Low momentum ratios (Fuel jet to cross flow) were found to enlarge the recirculation zone, with an extended stable range of Reynolds number for the cup under excitation. Reduction of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and flame length by excitation was confirmed for all nozzle geometries, while the cup exhibited the largest reduction, with a fairly comparable quality for the elliptical excited flame. It is concluded that the cup-nozzle plays a significant role in enhancing flame stability (flame not blowing off) and quality, due to the enriched recirculation zone, and the more complicated jet interaction to prevent quenching.

Shear strength of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams using shear friction
Creators: name: El Metwally, Ahmed Salah
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 183-195
description: A new approach for the prediction of shear failure of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams, based on shear friction, has been under development at the University of Calgary for over a decade. In this thesis, the shear friction model has been investigated and refined in order to account for the existence of axial forces, the effect of the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, the effect of the beam size, and the effect of the concrete compressive strength. The proposed shear friction model is applicable to both disturbed and non-disturbed regions, and to beams with or without stirrups. For calibration purposes, and to compare with available CSA A23.3 shear design methods, a large database of 559 prestressed and reinforced concrete beams with and without stirrups was collected. The reinforced beams were without and with axial tensile or compressive loading. The experimental part of the study consisted of two test series. Five large beams without stirrups with low amount of longitudinal reinforcement were tested. In addition, six tests were performed on three beams with stirrups. The experiments were designed to investigate different elements of the shear friction model. The results show the predicted shear strengths for beams without stirrups, using the new shear friction model, to be much superior to those of the CSA A23.3 simplified method, the CSA A23.3-94 general method, and the CSA A23.3-draft 52003. This is illustrated by the fact that these shear friction predictions covered a wider range of aid ratios (from 1.0 to 7.0), yet were characterized by the smallest coefficient of variation. In addition, the shear predictions using the shear friction model showed no bias over wide ranges of the most influential parameters: concrete compressive strength (f~), member height (h), and longitudinal reinforcement ratio (Ptw)· For beams with stirrups, however, the shear predictions showed a high coefficient of variation, although remained consistent over the whole ranges of the most influential parameters. In its proposed form, the shear friction model is not simple enough to be accepted as a design code method. Recommendations for future research were made, and more work is still needed to simplify the model without compromising its precision.
Quasi-Biennial variations in helioseismic frequencies: Can the source of the variation be localized?

description: We investigate the spherical harmonic degree (l) dependence of the "seismic" quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) observed in low-degree solar p-mode frequencies, using Sun-as-a-star Birmingham Solar Oscillations Network (BiSON) data. The amplitude of the seismic QBO is modulated by the 11-yr solar cycle, with the amplitude of the signal being largest at solar maximum. The amplitude of the signal is noticeably larger for the l=2 and 3 modes than for the l=0 and 1 modes. The seismic QBO shows some frequency dependence but this dependence is not as strong as observed in the 11-yr solar cycle. These results are consistent with the seismic QBO having its origins in shallow layers of the interior (one possibility being the bottom of the shear layer extending 5per cent below the solar surface). Under this scenario the magnetic flux responsible for the seismic QBO is brought to the surface (where its influence on the p modes is stronger) by buoyant flux from the 11-yr cycle, the strong component of which is observed at predominantly low-latitudes. As the l=2 and 3 modes are much more sensitive to equatorial latitudes than the l=0 and 1 modes the influence of the 11-yr cycle on the seismic QBO is more visible in l=2 and 3 mode frequencies. Our results imply that close to solar maximum the main influence of the seismic QBO occurs at low latitudes (<45 degrees), which is where the strong component of the 11-yr solar cycle resides. To isolate the latitudinal dependence of the seismic QBO from the 11-yr solar cycle we must consider epochs when the 11-yr solar cycle is weak. However, away from solar maximum, the amplitude of the seismic QBO is weak making the latitudinal dependence hard to constrain.

description: Bibliography: p. 102-108
description: It is well documented that athletes report greater dietary supplement (d.s.) usage than non-athletes, however, limited data exists regarding ds practices among Canadian athletes. This descriptive and analytical, cross-sectional research investigated dietary supplementation practices, and opinions, preferred means for d.s. education, and antidoping opinions among elite athletes in the Calgary area. Subjects completed the validated questionnaire by recall. Combined, 582 high performance athletes (314 M, 268 F) representing 27 sports between 11 -42 yrs (mean 19.96 ± 3.91 yrs) participated. The majority (88.4%) reported taking ≥ 1 d.s. during the previous 6 months; mean of 3.08 ± 1.87 d.s. per user. The older and/or higher competitive performance level respondents indicated greater usage. From 1555 d.s. declared, sports drinks (22.4%), sports bars (14.0%), multivitamins and minerals (13.5%), protein supplements (9.0%), and vitamin C (6.4%) were most frequently reported. Family/friends, teammates, and coaches were the primary d.s. advisors. Usage was justified to support physiological demands, and to prevent nutritional deficiencies and/or illness. Most (89.9%) believed they were in compliance with anti-doping regulations and found these rules "easy" to understand. This database is the first of its kind in Canada with potential for extension nationally.

description: We consider the hybrid problem of reconstructing the isotropic electric conductivity of a body $Ω$ from interior Current Density Imaging data obtainable using MRI measurements. We only require knowledge of the magnitude $|J|$ of one current generated by a given voltage $f$ on the boundary $\partialΩ$. As previously shown, the corresponding voltage potential u in $Ω$ is a minimizer of the weighted least gradient problem \[u=\hbox{argmin} \{\int_Ωa(x)|\nabla u|: u \in H^{1}(Ω), \ \ u|_{\partial Ω}=f\},\] with $a(x)= |J(x)|$. In this paper we present an alternating split Bregman algorithm for treating such least gradient problems, for $a\in L^2(Ω)$ non-negative and $f\in H^{1/2}(\partial Ω)$. We give a detailed convergence proof by focusing to a large extent on the dual problem. This leads naturally to the alternating split Bregman algorithm. The dual problem also turns out to yield a novel method to recover the full vector field $J$ from knowledge of its magnitude, and of the voltage $f$ on the boundary. We then present several numerical experiments that illustrate the convergence behavior of the proposed algorithm.

The dependencies of alkaloid spectral characteristics on the concentration ratio N/c between the DNA base pairs and alkaloid molecules in the solutions are considered, and the manifestations of the alkaloid-DNA binding are revealed. The character of binding is found to depend on N/c.

description: Due to U.S. territorial status, management of marine mammal stocks around Guam and the CNMI is the responsibility of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. The U.S. Navy is mandated by permits and Biological Opinions issued under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to monitor cetacean presence within the Mariana Island Range Complex (MIRC). The ocean surface and undersea area components of the MIRC encompass 1,299,851 km of open ocean and coastal areas that extend from the international waters south of Guam to north of Pagan (CNMI), and from the Pacific Ocean east of the Mariana Islands and west to the middle of the Philippine Sea (U.S. Navy 2010). Within the MIRC, the Navy is authorized to conduct training and testing activities, which may include the use of active sonar, underwater detonations, and explosive ordnance use. Such activities have the potential to harass or harm cetaceans...In an effort to further develop a record of cetacean occurrence in the region, as well as to gather photos and biopsy samples and deploy satellite tags for population studies, the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center’s (PIFSC) Cetacean Research Program (CRP) conducted surveys for cetaceans in the waters surrounding Guam and the CNMI (Figure 1) during 2010-2014. This research was carried out in partnership with the U.S. Navy and is expected to continue through 2015. Detailed reports for each survey year were submitted to the Navy (Oleson and Hill 2010, Ligon et al. 2011,  Hill et al. 2012, Hill et al. 2013). The summary of the combined surveys is reported here.

description: The time-symmetric block time--step (TSBTS) algorithm is a newly developed efficient scheme for $N$--body integrations. It is constructed on an era-based iteration. In this work, we re-designed the TSBTS integration scheme with dynamically changing era size. A number of numerical tests were performed to show the importance of choosing the size of the era, especially for long time integrations. Our second aim was to show that the TSBTS scheme is as suitable as previously known schemes for developing parallel $N$--body codes. In this work, we relied on a parallel scheme using the copy algorithm for the time-symmetric scheme. We implemented a hybrid of data and task parallelization for force calculation to handle load balancing problems that can appear in practice. Using the Plummer model initial conditions for different numbers of particles, we obtained the expected efficiency and speedup for a small number of particles. Although parallelization of the direct $N$--body codes is negatively affected by the communication/calculation ratios, we obtained good load balance results. Moreover, we were able to conserve the advantages of the algorithm (e.g., energy conservation for long--term simulations).

description: Many volcanoes exhibit temporal changes in their degassing process, from rapid gas puffing to lava fountaining and long-lasting quiescent passive degassing periods. This range of behaviors has been explained in terms of changes in gas flux and/or magma input rate. We report here a simple laboratory experiment which shows that the non- Newtonian rheology of magma can be responsible, alone, for such intriguing behavior, even in a stationary gas flux regime. We inject a constant gas flow-rate Q at the bottom of a non-Newtonian fluid column, and demonstrate the existence of a critical flow rate Q* above which the system spontaneously alternates between a bubbling and a channeling regime, where a gas channel crosses the entire fluid column. The threshold Q* depends on the fluid rheological properties which are controlled, in particular, by the gas volume fraction (or void fraction) ϕ. When ϕ increases, Q* decreases and the degassing regime changes. Non-Newtonian properties of magma might therefore play a crucial role in volcanic eruption dynamics.

description: Microcavity polaritons are composite half-light half-matter quasi-particles, which have recently been demonstrated to exhibit rich physical properties, such as non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation, parametric scattering and superfluidity. At the same time, polaritons have some important advantages over photons for information processing applications, since their excitonic component leads to weaker diffraction and stronger inter-particle interactions, implying, respectively, tighter localization and lower powers for nonlinear functionality. Here we present the first experimental observations of bright polariton solitons in a strongly coupled semiconductor microcavity. The polariton solitons are shown to be non-diffracting high density wavepackets, that are strongly localised in real space with a corresponding broad spectrum in momentum space. Unlike solitons known in other matter-wave systems such as Bose condensed ultracold atomic gases, they are non-equilibrium and rely on a balance between losses and external pumping. Microcavity polariton solitons are excited on picosecond timescales, and thus have significant benefits for ultrafast switching and transfer of information over their light only counterparts, semiconductor cavity lasers (VCSELs), which have only nanosecond response time.

description: Bibliography: p. 89-94
description: The purpose of this study was to develop predictive statistical models on the basis of lab radioactivity concentrations and field radioactivity measurements, physical as well as chemical properties of the NORM-contaminated soil matrices; thereby, leading to improved NORM management practices and potentially minimized adverse impact on the environment. This study determined that a comprehensive field investigation could predict, with reasonable accuracy, the activity concentration of the area; therefore, reduce time and analytical costs. The management of NOR M is still in its infancy in Canada; however, significant progress has been made towards establishing a meaningful framework for NORM management and regulation.
Characterizing Dust Properties in Circumstellar Disks with Quantitative Polarimetry
Creators: name: Ma, Jie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Dust in the protoplanetary disks is an important component for planet formation. Many disks have been well-resolved with Polarimetric Differential Imaging (PDI) using AO instruments at large ground-based telescopes, e.g. VLT/SPHERE. Simulations focusing on disk geometries reproduce well the various disk morphologies but much fewer studies have been carried out on the characterization of the dust properties based on quantitative measurements of the scattered light.

 To obtain accurate photo-polarimetric measurements of the reflected light from disks, variable PSF smearing and polarimetric cancellation effects should be considered. We correct for the smearing effect and measure the integrated flux, polarized flux, and fractional polarization at multi-wavelengths in selected transition disks, e.g. HD 142527, HD169142, RX J1604.
 We derive a fractional polarization >20%, and higher polarized intensity and/or scattered light intensity in the near-infrared compared to the visual. Such measurements are used as diagnostic tools to characterize the dust properties, based on simulations of the dust scattering in simplified disk models.
 The derived scattering parameters support the possible presence of micron-sized dust aggregates in agreement with dust coagulation. More such measurements for the dust in different types of disks need to be collected for a better understanding of the dust evolution and the planet formation process.

Quantum Zeno control of coherent dissociation

description: We study the effect of dephasing on the coherent dissociation dynamics of an atom-molecule Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that when phase-noise intensity is strong with respect to the inverse correlation time of the stimulated process, dissociation is suppressed via a Bose enhanced Quantum Zeno effect. This is complementary to the quantum zeno control of phase-diffusion in a bimodal condensate by symmetric noise (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 100}, 220403 (2008)) in that the controlled process here is phase-{\it formation} and the required decoherence mechanism for its suppression is purely phase noise.

Suppression, persistence and reentrance of superfluidity in overflowing nuclear systems

description: Based on a microscopic description of superfluidity in overflowing nuclear systems, it is shown that continuum coupling plays an important role in the suppression, the persistence and the reentrance of pairing. In such systems, the structure of the drip-line nucleus determines the suppression and the persistence of superfluidity. The reentrance of pairing with increasing temperature leads to additional critical temperatures between the normal and superfluid phases.

description: We revisit the analysis of effective field theories resulting from non-supersymmetric perturbations to supersymmetric flux compactifications of the type-IIB superstring with an eye towards those resulting from the backreaction of a small number of anti-D3-branes. Independently of the background, we show that the low-energy Lagrangian describing the fluctuations of a stack of probe D3-branes exhibits soft supersymmetry breaking, despite perturbations to marginal operators that were not fully considered in some previous treatments. We take this as an indication that the breaking of supersymmetry by anti-D3-branes or other sources may be spontaneous rather than explicit. In support of this, we consider the action of an anti-D3-brane probing an otherwise supersymmetric configuration and identify a candidate for the corresponding goldstino.

Magnetic friction: From Stokes to Coulomb behavior

description: We demonstrate that in a ferromagnetic substrate, which is continuously driven out of equilibrium by a field moving with constant velocity $v$, at least two types of friction may occur when $v$ goes to zero: The substrate may feel a friction force proportional to $v$ (Stokes friction), if the field changes on a time scale which is longer than the intrinsic relaxation time. On the other hand, the friction force may become independent of $v$ in the opposite case (Coulomb friction). These observations are analogous to e.g. solid friction. The effect is demonstrated in both, the Ising (one spin dimension) and the Heisenberg model (three spin dimensions), irrespective which kind of dynamics (Metropolis spin-flip dynamics or Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert precessional dynamics) is used. For both models the limiting case of Coulomb friction can be treated analytically. Furthermore we present an empiric expression reflecting the correct Stokes behavior and therefore yielding the correct cross-over velocity and dissipation.

description: It is demonstrated that the bootstrap kernel [\onlinecite{sharma11}] for finite values of ${\bf q}$ crucially depends upon the matrix character of the kernel and gives results of the same good quality as in the ${\bf q} \rightarrow 0$ limit. The bootstrap kernel is further used to study the electron loss as well as absorption spectra for Si, LiF and Ar for various values of ${\bf q}$. The results show that the excitonic effects in LiF and Ar are enhanced for values of ${\bf q}$ away from the $Γ$-point. The reason for this enhancement is the interaction between the exciton and high energy inter-band electron-hole transitions. This fact is validated by calculating the absorption spectra under the influence of an external electric field. The electron energy loss spectra is shown to change dramatically as a function of ${\bf q}$.
Vibrational hot bands of linear C4 and C5 arising from a bending vibration with two quanta in the lowest bend: the (v3 + 2v5) - 2v5 band of C4 and the (v3 + 2v7) - 2v7 band of C5

description: We report the complete characterization of the hot band (v3+2v₅ )-2v₅ for linear C₄ and the analogous band (v3+2v7 )-2v7 for linear C₅ via gas phase, rotationally resolved spectra. C₄ and C₅ were generated using a flowing mixture of acetylene and helium subjected to a hollow cathode discharge. The spectra were recorded using a diode laser spectrometer. Σ - Σ and Δ - Δ transitions were observed for both molecular species. Analyses of these hot bands yielded the following lower state molecular parameters: v0=1547.3164(5)cm^(-1), B=502492(18)MHz, D=0.924(52)kHz, xL=0.5802(92)cm^(-1) and q5=10.8890(26) MHz for C₄ and v0=2166.2331(3) cm^(-1), B=2576.524(87)MHz,D=0.143(13) kHz, xL=0.409(10) cm^(-1) and q7=3.9845(15) for C₅ . The results were completely consistent with linear structures and support previous conclusions with regard to the semi-rigid linear nature of these two molecular species. This work represents the first conclusive study of a vibrational state with two quanta in the bend for any carbon cluster with four or more atoms.
