Glutamine synthetase catalyzes the synthesis of glutamine from glutamate, ammonia, and ATP. The enzyme consists of 12 identical subunits, each of MW ~ 50,000, arranged as two hexameric rings stacked face to face to form the catalytically active enzyme (1). The enzyme has an absolute requirement for two divalent metal i...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used to study the photodecomposition of long-chain diacyl peroxides trapped in channels within zeolites (silicalite and ferrierite) and urea clathrates. ESR spectra of radical pairs in single crystals of the urea clathrates of diundecanoyl peroxide (UP), lauroyl peroxide (...

Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the critical behavior of the classical Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) model of metallic spin glass both with and without the presence of weak Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) anisotropy. Finite-size scaling analyses of the data for equilibrium averages and relaxation times indi...

Model compounds of the type A—(CH2)_n—D (with A = pyrene, D = dimethylaniline and n = 4 − 16) have been used to investigate the effect of the polymethylene chain on the intramolecular electron transfer processes, and also the influence of external magnetic fields on the spin dynamics in the radical ion pair ^2A^−—(CH2)...

Experimental evidence for non-exponential decay of the polarization is presented for KTaO_3:Na. These data are viewed in the light of analogous findings in spin glasses. They are in support of the decay law P t t^t-ga found to be valid for a large number of dielectrics since its discovery by Curie in 1889.

In this paper some new techniques to analyze nonlinear neural networks are reviewed. A neural network is called nonlinear if the introduction of new data into the synaptic efficacies has to be performed through a non -linear operation. The original Hopfield model is linear whereas, for instance, clipped synapses consti...

The discoveries of the new ceramic superconductors La_2-xA_xCu_4-z ^1 and YBa_2Cu_3O_7-x with T_c of about 40K and 90K respectively have given new impetus to the discussions of high-T_c mechanisms. The specific mechanism by which electrons lower their energy by pairing in these superconducting ceramics is at issue. Con...

A framework is developed for the gauge theory of the Poincaré (or inhomogeneous Lorentz) group. A first-order Lagrangian formalism is set up in a Riemann-Cartan space-time, which will be characterized by means of an orthonormal tetrad basis and and a metric-compatible connection . The sources of gravity are mass and sp...

This chapter applies the general physical outlook described in Chapters 24 and 27 to human social systems. Social systems, like other complex systems, are characterized by conservations that determine their dynamics over a wide range of time scales. In addition to the usual physical driving forces, human social systems...

It is widely known that a two dimensional lattice of spins coupled by Heisenberg (positive) exchange interactions has no long-range ferromagnetic order [1]. >From the point of view of the excitations, the quadratic dependence of the spin-wave frequency on the wave vector results in a divergence of the number of excited...

We use the Suzuki-Trotter transformation to obtain d+l-dimensional classical representations for the corresponding quantum systems. For one-dimensional disordered quantum XY and Heisenberg chains we demonstrate the usefulness of the transfer matrix method. In two dimensions we had to rely on a Monte Carlo procedure. Re...
