The subject of domain-wall dynamics in Ising-type ferro- and antiferromagnetic chains has recently become of great interest, since they provide a simple and readily accessible possibility to study nonlinear excitations [1,2]. By Ising-type is meant that there is a preferential direction for the moments, either through ...

The phenomenon of spin transition —equivalent terms found in the literature are spin crossover, magnetic crossover, spin equilibrium—denoted as high spin (HS) ⇄ low spin (LS), may be observed in first-row transition metal complexes with d ^4, d ^5, d^6, d ^7,and d ^8 electron configuration.

Excitation of unnatural parity states, predominantly of high spin, using electromagnetic and hadronic probes, is discussed.

In a textbook dedicated to photoresponsiveness in biological systems, a detailed discussion of the role and importance of light in living organisms is surely not necessary. Nor does it appear useful to present another review on photoinduced conformational changes in polypeptides when an up-to-date one is in press (1). ...

In order to understand the dynamics of an ecosystem, it is necessary to determine the contribution of the different groups to total biomass as well as to evaluate their turnover rates and the amount of organic matter that each produces per unit time. Therefore, the zooplankton and zoobenthos production were studied as ...

It frequently happens that one must calculate the reliability of systems, the deterministic behavior of which is described by complicated computer codes. Safety against partial or total collapse of reinforced concrete structures under earthquake loads is one example. Sources of uncertainty are numerous. They include in...

Studies of behavior often produce substantial quantities of data involving multiple behavioral characteristics, frequently for a number of subjects. In many cases, quantitative analyses are required in order to summarize and simplify available information to a readily understandable level. It can be this very exercise ...

In this chapter we shall turn our attention to the static response of systems in which interactions among the constituents, either localized moments or itinerant electrons, may lead to long-range order. A thorough treatment of such interactions and the resulting phase transition is an extremely complicated subject. Alt...

This chapter is devoted to a general discussion about relaxation in nuclear magnetic resonance with a special emphasis on the physical signification of concepts, equations, and terms usually used in this field. Systems which are moved away from equilibrium after a change in one of the variables of state will reach the ...

Metallothioneins are metal-binding proteins playing a major role in the metabolism and the detoxification of the essential trace metals Zn and Cu and of nonessential d^10 metals such as Cd, Hg, Ag, Au and Bi. These functions are related to the capacity of these proteins to bind 7 bivalent metal ions per polypeptide cha...

In this contribution to the proceedings I carried out the full chronological line in numerical simulations to give clear evidence against a phase transition in shortrange spin glass models at least in two dimensions. Furtheron I consider the observation time necessary to obtain equilibrium states at low temperatures — ...

In recent years considerable progress has been made in relating the macroscopic aspects of diffusion, described by the diffusion coefficient D as defined through Fick’s law, to the microscopic movements of individual atoms or molecules. Much of this progress has become possible with the development of new and powerful ...
