摘要:
NMR chemical shift calculations at the SOS-DFPT/PW91/[7s6p2d/5s4pld/3s]//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory were used to describe the trimesitylsilylium cation 1, recently synthesized in benzene solution and investigated by NMR spectroscopy. The conformation of cation 1 is characterized by mesityl rings rotated by 47 degrees in a propeller-like form. Contrary to other silylium cations investigated, cation 1 forms a weak Van der Waals complex 3 with benzene rather than a Wheland sigma-complex. The calculated Si-29 NMR chemical shifts for 1 and 3 are 226 and 227 ppm, compared to the experimental value of 225.5 ppm. The agreement between calculated and measured NMR chemical shifts provides evidence that cation 1 presents the first free silylium cation synthesized. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

摘要:
The plane shift between the pattern of light onto a photorefractive crystal and the resulting hologram at the very beginning of the recording process in two-wave mixing is analyzed and measured as a function of the applied electric field. These data allow one to compute the diffusion length of photoexcited charge carriers and to evaluate the actual electric field inside the crystal. A diffusion length of 0.14 mu m is measured in a nominally undoped photorefractive Bi12TiO20 crystal using a 532 nm wavelength laser illumination, in agreement with results obtained from other methods.

摘要:
Vector clocks have been used to capture causal dependencies between processes in distributed computing systems. Vector clocks are not suitable for mobile computing systems due to (i) lack of scalability: its size is equal to the number of nodes, and (ii) its inability to cope with fluctuations in the number of nodes. This paper presents two efficient alternatives to vector clock, namely, sets of dependency sequences, and hierarchical clock. Both the alternatives are scalable and are immune to fluctuations in the number of nodes in the system.
