What is the Difference Between Word and Subject Searching?
Know only a few words in a title, subject, contents note or sponsoring organization? Use a Keyword search. To get more focused results from your search, use a Subject search.
A Keyword search retrieves any record in which the term or terms appear. Some of the records may not be relevant to your specific need.
(retrieves records in which the word "depression" occurs, whether the items are about psychology, history, economics, geology or astronomy.
Use the *symbol to retrieve words with alternate endings. For example, "depress*" will retrieve depress, depression, depressions, depressing, and all other words beginning with "depress".
A Subject search uses the controlled terms in the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) or in the subject field of a UCR Library Catalog record. To search by subject, enter either the complete subject phase or its first word(s) EXACTLY as shown in LCSH or in the UCR Library Catalog record. The Catalog will usually assist you if you enter the subject terms in the wrong order. Also, search place names, personal names, and proper nouns as subjects.
|depression, mental -- psychological aspects
depression mental psychological aspects
(retrieves all subjects beginning with this phrase such as depressed persons, depression glass, depression in adolescents)
|hemingway ernest or just hemingway (retrieves material ABOUT hemingway)

Gov. Paterson: Please Do The Right Thing And Pardon John White
I am urging Governor Paterson during the remaining days he has left to grant John White, a family man who protected his family if ever there was any, the pardon he deserves. While some may say 2 to 4 years is not long, the facts and circumstances dictate that he never should have been convicted.
There is a Black political fear factor that few in office attempt to cross.
The fear of a Black Police Chief, for example, to try fire racially-abusive White officers; the fear of Black elected officials to be seen as spending too much time trying to solve problems unique to the community.
We have a Black governor who may fear pardoning an unjustly incarcerated Black man. This fear is based on insecurities manifested by White backers and voters who don't want their candidate to remind them that he's Black.
Outgoing New York Governor David Paterson has one high-profile clear cut case. The case of a man who was awaken from his sleep on August 9, 2002 at around 11pm by his teenage son who told him some angry White teens had gathered outside of his home shouting threats and expletives.
Just imagine waking to such a nightmare; a group of White youths coming from a party and no-doubt inebriated enough to choose not to go home, but to instead go looking for trouble. John White leapt out of his bed, found his loaded Beretta and confronted what he described later as a "lynch-mob."
Usually a father just displaying a holstered gun would prompt such an invading party to sober up and remember their own home addresses. Instead, we are told, they flung threats and racial epithets at John White. One lunging youth, 17-year-old Daniel Cicciaros, would never go home again.
White was at first sentenced to 5 to 15 years almost a year and a half later. A judge gave him 2 to 4 years on March 19, 2008 based on his having no prior arrest and his record of honesty. He was unsuccessful in his appeals.
The prevailing reasoning is that he should have called 911 on the date in question. According to attorney and activist Alton Maddox, co-founder of the Freedom Party and United African Movement (UAM): "Since John White is a descendant of enslaved Africans, he forgot his place in society when he attempted to protect his family from a lynch mob which had threatened to do bodily harm to him and his family in general. The all-White mob also threatened to rape his wife--White policemen have never sided with Black victims against a White mob."
John White's family history is laced with this type of old-Southern treatment. Once many of these Black families moved up north, after a while, some of them began measuring success by how White their neighbors are. You reach a political albatross if your Black politician begins measuring success by how White his or her policies are.
When it comes to prominent pardons, Douglass Wilder is the only one of the four Black governors that I know of to date, that pardoned a convict, when he released a well-known high school basketball star named Allen Iverson. He was just five months into a 15-year-sentence for assaulting a woman in a bowling alley. While a president can only pardon offenses recognized by federal law, a governor can grant pardons under state law.
Nationally, so far President Obama has pardoned nine people. Some may
consider that a lot--not compared to his predecessor George W. Bush, who
commuted or rescinded 200; and Bill Clinton's 459.
I am urging Governor Paterson during the remaining days he has left to grant John White, a family man who protected his family if ever there was any, the pardon he deserves. While some may say 2 to 4 years is not long, the facts and circumstances dictate that he never should have been convicted.

It's Friday, so you know what that means... random, fascinating shit :)
Like this... I actually figured there was some post-production protocol that would have seen these sets taken apart and removed after shooting was complete. Yes/no?
The short story goes... George Lucas shot parts of 4 Star Wars movies in southern Tunisia (really, the Sahara desert), and many of the sets that were built for Tatooine, home to Luke and Anakin Skywalker, are still standing today; but not only that - people are actually living in them now.
The website RocketNews24.com got a first-hand look at the sandy makeshift *city* that was once a planet called Tatooine, and you can read their full report HERE.

Earl Grey Rooibos
Caffeine Free
Earl Grey Rooibos is a delicious twist on the classic Earl Grey flavored tea. Instead of black tea leaves, this infusion uses South African rooibos, an herb that brews beautiful red liquors that are naturally caffeine-free. The earthy and slightly nutty rooibos flavor blends easily with the fruity bergamot oil that typifies the earl grey experience. It's an unexpected and welcome delight.

Howdy, and welcome to the Wednesday Rundown. Thanks for Remey and Jaren for sending in a gymnastic shoot and a really cool band shoot. We also have a indoor water shoot. Very solid final images on all the videos today. If you have a video that you think we might like to post, please click on "submit content" above.
Gymnastics Shoot:
A gymnastics team shoot that incorporates the use of the ipad for wireless review. Pretty cool to see how simple it is to use with a shoot.
Band Shoot:
A shoot with a female singer and several different poses and angles.
Water Shoot:
These guys make the weather happen as they want on the inside of their studio. I love the shallow water shoots with the model.

First and last one are really good, from concept and technical point. The band shooting is rather "normal".
The photographer in the last shot isn't afraid to loose a PW in the process! wow! Cool idea (laying in the water)
Definitely digging the water shoot.

Competing Meanings of Childhood - Implications for Child Sexual Abuse Prevention
How do you view children? Vulnerable? Innocent and inherently good? Inherently evil? Knowledgeable and active participants in society?
Join Stop It Now! for a FREE webcast when Dr. Dominic Pasura of the Centre for Applied Childhood Studies (Univ. of Huddersfield, UK) will help us unpack our assumptions about children to improve our practice of preventing child sexual abuse.
Dr. Pasura is a Research Fellow at the Center for Applied Childhood Studies at the University of Huddersfield, UK. His current focus is on child sexual abuse, including a comparative research study among three countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and developing an evaluation framework for the prevention of child sexual abuse. Dominic earned his PhD in Sociology at the University of Warwick specialising in migration, diaspora and transnationalism. Prior to coming to Huddersfield, Dominic was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Geography at University College London.
The webcast is part of our collaboration with the University of Huddersfield and follows a webcast by Centre Director, Dr. Adele Jones, on child sexual abuse in the Caribbean. It is one way that we are marking the World Day for Prevention of Child Abuse (19 Nov) and World Day of Prayer and Action for Children (Nov 20).

Country Inn, European Guided Hiking and Walking Tours • 31 Years On The Trail
Country Inn, Hiking and Walking Tours
Footpaths by Day! Country Inns by Night!
Dear Hikers,
After much thought we have come to the decision that we will not be offering guided hikes in 2016.
2015 was our 32nd year of running country inn/guided hikes and walks and was our first year experimenting with a reduced schedule. While we had some wonderful tours this past season (both our scheduled international trips and "custom" domestic trips), we have to confess that we enjoyed the more relaxed schedule and free time perhaps a little too much! At the end of the season we decided that we will be concentrating on our adult tennis camps in New England and Florida (www.netennisholidays.com) and, at least for this upcoming year, will not be offering the hiking and walking tours.
Some of our guides have told us that they would be interested in continuing to offer tours and we would be happy to refer anyone interested (just call us on the toll free number and tell us which destination and time of year you are wanting).
Hiking with all of you over the years has been a truly wonderful experience , and on behalf of our guides and ourselves, we want to thank you for joining us on the world's most beautiful hiking trails!
All the best,

North Carolinas IT explosion rests on a solid foundation.
Southern states have begun using information technology to both transform government operations and revitalize rural economies. Like their counterparts throughout the nation, southern political leaders and IT officials are scrambling to roll out online services for citizens and businesses. In progressive states, this pressure has sparked rampant IT progress as jurisdictions implement technology they view as vital to future political and economic success.
But the South faces unique barriers to equitably delivering online services and other Internet-age opportunities to rural communities. Therefore, IT initiatives often include strong digital divide and economic development components.
"The more successful states in the South are now looking at where their growth has occurred and where it hasnt occurred," said Jim Clinton, executive director of the Southern Growth Policies Board. "Theyre seeing a real clustering of success around what are becoming cyber-cities. The rural communities, in many cases, have not made progress at the same level."
In other words, while Atlanta and North Carolinas Research Triangle Park attract IT investments and talent rivaling traditional technology strongholds, such as Californias Silicon Valley, other Southern communities are not so fortunate. Indeed, the poorest rural communities havent reached the Industrial Age, much less the Digital Age.
This series of profiles, which begins with an in-depth look at North Carolina, explores efforts in a handful of leading Southern states to tackle these challenges and position themselves for success in the emerging Internet economy.
Getting Started
It took North Carolina just 45 days to build a portal that raises the bar for government-run Web sites -- ample evidence that the states commitment to rapid, strategic technology deployment has begun to pay off.
Teaming with Andersen Consulting and portal pioneer Yahoo, North Carolina hammered traditional government Web content into user-friendly packages designed for citizens, businesses and state employees. Dubbed NC @ Your Service, the site stirs in extras like stock quotes, sports scores and weather reports, blurring the line between private- and
public-sector Web offerings. In true portal fashion, users also may personalize their opening page and choose the topics they wish to track.
But the gleaming new site is just the most visible product among a flurry of technology activity under way in North Carolina.
"North Carolinas economy is in the midst of a historic transformation," said Gov. James Hunt, who has spearheaded the states IT efforts. "In recent years, weve gone from a largely rural economic engine driven by agriculture and manufacturing to a 21st-century model of high technology. And were going to do everything we can to increase the role of science and technology in our economy to continue our growth and improve our quality of life."
That commitment was evident throughout the first half of 2000 as the state set a frantic pace for unveiling technology plans and projects.
In February, North Carolina received recommendations for closing the digital divide from a high-profile Rural Prosperity Task Force chaired by former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles. Those recommendations led to an agreement with the states three major telecommunications companies to bring high-speed Internet access to all areas of North Carolina by 2003.
In April, the states Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) released a comprehensive plan for implementing electronic government, reforming IT asset management, streamlining IT procurement, improving financial reporting for IT investments and creating an enterprise-wide security strategy.
In June, the state unveiled a 30-year technology blueprint that recommends creating tax credits to support technology research and development, endorses regional technology-based economic development programs and urges North Carolina to brand itself globally as a high-tech state.
In September, the state repositioned ITS as a cabinet-level agency,

I am taking off my Life Coach hat for a minute and putting on my boxing gloves. If you are looking for peace of mind or soothing comfort, you might want to choose a different post to read.
One thing has become painfully clear to me through all of the political propaganda being thrown in our faces. That is that no matter which way we look we have become a society of expert blamers. What's even more painful to admit, is we eat the crap up like its gold. Let's blame the president, let's blame the guy that's running for president. Let's blame the 1%, the 47%, the weather, Oh, I know, it's because gays are getting married. Right? How about, the big elephant sitting on the heartbeat of not only our great nation, but our world that no one even wants to talk about?
Pointing fingers and dredging up the pettiest piece of garbage possible seems to be Big News and unfortunately that is not going to change, unless we change. Who hasn't heard that before? But you can't escape the truth of the matter and it leaves me very curious at this point. Do we even want to change? It sure is easier to blame "him", "her", or everyone or everything else instead of rolling up our sleeves and doing something about it.
Sure, we can't all control everything, but we can certainly do more than what we are doing. It starts at home people, and to bring it down to the most common denominator, it starts with you. YOUR life is no one else's fault but your own. Sure, bad things happen and bad things suck, but if you have a choice left to take, then the choice is yours. Sitting around placing blame just means you are too weak to pull up your big boy pants or big girl panties and take care of business.
As far as the world and our country go, there are ways we can turn things around. WE need to hold ourselves accountable and we need to stop waiting for someone else to start doing it first. Of course no one person can change the world, but if enough people wanted to badly enough, without resorting to death, mayhem and destruction, I'm willing to bet they could at least make a sizable ripple. How about we start by accepting the fact that the state of affairs in this world is not our government's fault; it's ours for putting up with it?
As far as ourselves go, it starts with refusing to blame anyone else for anything that we have the capability of controlling. No one "makes you mad"; no one "Makes you" do anything unless they use brute force like a gun to your head. Remember. It starts at home, with each of us.
If we could all just choose ONE thing to stop blaming on someone or something else and do ONE thing to make a positive change, there would be millions of people doing just one thing and that would add up to something amazing.
Yes, shame on the blame game and we are all guilty. I for one intend to do at least one thing about it.

Cambria Heights was originally a farming community which supplied produce to Brooklyn and Manhattan. It began developing in 1923 on 163 acres of land bought by Oliver B. LaFreniere, a real-estate agent. It acquired the name Cambria in about 1924 from its owner the 'Cambria Title Savings and Trust Company' a coal concern located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. "Heights" was added because of the area's high elevation.
First populated by Jewish, German, Irish and Italian residents, the community became a predominantly Black, middle-class suburb after the Second World War. Present demographics reveal a community comprised predominantly of African Americans and West Indians.
Library service for the community began in 1930 with the establishment of a bookmobile stop on Linden Boulevard for one hour a week. The following year, the bookmobile moved to PS 147 where it provided service to the children for a few hours each week. Service expanded as demand grew leading eventually to the need for a regular library.
Campaign efforts by a committee of the Civic Association resulted in the opening on July 15, 1949 of a sub-branch in rental quarters on Linden Boulevard. In 1964, the rental facilities were expanded and upgraded to a new location, 220-20 Linden boulevard, where it remained until 2006.
The latest incarnation of the Cambria Heights library is a state-of-the-art facility located at 218-13 Linden Boulevard. Opened in 2006, the library offers computers, WiFi, programs and materials of all types for all ages.

I can not find for Zimbra any means of processing of mail log files. With possibility of sorting on the sender, the addressee, date, etc. With Web GUI, if it's possible.
Tried to use some utilities for Postfix, but most likely the log-file format differs from native - it has turned out nothing.
To use | grep or any command-line utilities it is not so convenient.
Maybe exists smth from Zimbra Admin Extension?
Somebody can help?)

Airport Lounges at London Gatwick Airport
Airport Lounges are a great place to relax and pass the time while you wait for the flight. Inside an airport lounge you can avoid the manic crowds in the terminal building and forget you are at an airport.
Usually food and drink are included in the price of the airport lounge entry so you can enjoy some great food.
Quite often people think airport lounges are exclusively for business travellers or prestige passengers of certain airlines, and this is the case for many airline catered airport lounges such as British Airways Airport Lounge. However, there are airport lounges at Gatwick Airport where anyone can enter for a small price. You can enjoy the luxury of a lounge from as little as £18 in some lounges. Adults and children are usually welcome so you can entertain the children before the flight.
Depending on the airport lounge facilities, you can usually enjoy a range of facilities such as spas, hairdressers, free drink and food, free Wi-Fi, movie screens and much more. Here you will find all the information you need to decide which airport lounge to book with.

I've just written the final section of the tenth edition of my human genetics textbook. The end is about Stephen Quake, the Stanford bioengineer whose genomic highlights were laid bare in the May 1, 2010 issue of The Lancet ("Clinical assessment incorporating a personal genome"; http://www.thelancet.com).
When I wrote the first edition 20 years ago, sequencing a single gene took years. I couldn't imagine a day when genomes could be sequenced in days and when anyone could order dozens of DNA tests just by tapping on a keyboard, learning results without the filter of a medical professional.
Dr. Quake, a pretty healthy sort, had his genome sequenced because a cousin died at age 19 from heart disease (and he's co-inventor of the sequencer). His results confirmed what he knew from a good old-fashioned pedigree, but also told him that a statin would work well and without side effects, yet the clot-preventer Plavix not so good. The rest? Maybe it'll help him some day.

There's no denying that the British do have a reputation for bad food. But if I'm honest so does America–the home of fast food. I guess what both countries lack is the same attitude to food as the French or the Italians where food is an integral part of daily life. Nevertheless, when faced with the prospect of moving to London many Americans are nervousness about British food. Will they be able to find the same type of food? Are the ingredients for ethnic foods such as Chinese, Japanese or Mexican food readily available?
It's also not uncommon for Americans moving to London worry that they will no longer be able to find their (or their children's) favorite cookies or a particular brand of peanut butter. I've even met a few US expats that filled up their container with a whole year's supply of some food staple when they moved here, only to find that it or a better alternative was readily available in the grocery stores. So there's really no need for an American in London to "fret" (as the British would say) about finding the right food here in London.
Of course after moving to London you may find that there is a bit of a variation with some of the food on offer here, but it will be a reasonable alternative. London is one of the world's most international cities and is home to hundreds of different communities. Generally, whatever you are looking for you'll find it in London. As an American in London, the hardest item I've had to find for an American recipe was ground cardamom for Christmas cookies. Though not available in grocery stores, I did find it at the Spice Shop in Blenheim Crescent in Notting Hill. So while US expats in other part of the UK may struggle to find canned pumpkin or leading American food brands (or even the odd spice) here in London they are readily available—at a price, of course. Importing American foods from across the Atlantic is an expensive business.
If you're a newly arrived American in London, you may also worry about the quality and variety of the food in restaurants and cafes. Once again, you really don't need to worry. Of course, all US expats need to exercise good judgement about an establishment. A dirty fast food place offering all you can eat for a few Pounds sounds a bit risky, while a busy, clean and sensible priced cafe shouldn't be an issue. If anything, as an American in London your main worry will be the price of eating out, which come as a bit of a shock. Most US expats tend to convert the price of everything back into dollars for the first few months after moving to London and they'll be alarmed to find they are paying $5 for a coffee. After a few months of living here an American in London becomes accustomed to the price of food and eating out here.
So if you are moving to London in the near future and worried about taking American food with you, don't stress about it. It's easy to find here. However, the price of American favorites and eating out in London may be more difficult to swallow.

ENGLAND — The Arkansas Board of Corrections is asking for proposals from communities interested in hosting a new, 1,000-bed state prison.
The board voted Friday to accept requests for the next 90 days in hopes of firming up a plan before next January's legislative session. Prison officials told lawmakers last week that it will cost up to $100 million to build the new facility.
The board's prison design committee is recommending a maximum-security facility, which will be more expensive to build than a lower-security unit. The committee is recommending the new prison house the most difficult inmates in the state, with extra space set aside for 200 single-cell isolation units.
The board says it's looking for a site with at least 400 acres, along with proximity to an airport and higher-educational institutions.

He met Him in Bethel, and there [God] spoke with [him and through him with] us–[Gen. 28:12-19; 32:28; Gen. 35:1-15.] Even the Lord the God of hosts, the name of Him [Who spoke with Jacob] is the Lord. Therefore return to your God! Hold fast to love and mercy, to righteousness and justice, and wait [expectantly] for your God continually! (Hosea 12:3-6 AMP)
When God speaks with us, He speaks to future generations. Jacob (renamed Israel) met God and built an altar at Bethel. So his story was told by him to his children and theirs and on down. It wasn't a story of a battle or a hero. It was a story of a man spoken to by a tender God. It's the same story passed down today. We are spoken to by a loving, merciful God. It's our story to share.
The reason it's worth sharing is that God wants us back near Him. And the qualities we'll have are first of all love and mercy. Those are the priorities for Him, mentioned first. Love has it's definition in 1 Corinthians 13...patient, kind, unselfish and more. Love is the most beautiful piece of spiritual clothing we can wear. Then mercy is not giving someone trouble they deserve. It's kindness, compassion and forgiveness. These two qualities are warm and gracious.
Righteousness and justice are a part of living clean and pure. It's mimicking a perfect God and one who gives justice to widows and orphans and those in need. God is holy but He cares for the humble, hurting and small and listens to their plea.

Minnelli's bodyguard sex claimsLiza Minnelli forced her former bodyguard to have sex with her, he sensationally alleged yesterday (11.11.04).
M'hammed Soumayah claims the 'Cabaret' star regularly beat him up and threatened to sack him if he didn't satisfy her sexual demands.
The married father-of-two says in court papers he "eventually succumbed" when he thought he was about to lose his C$290,000-a-year job.
Soumayah - who was hired in 1994 as a bodyguard and chauffeur and was finally sacked last year for refusing a 50 per cent salary cut - says he suffered "pain, embarrassment and irreparable harm" throughout his 10-year employment with the star.
The legal documents, filed in a New York court, go on to say: "On September 18, Minnelli asked him to her home, said he was the love of her life and kissed him.
"When he told her it was wrong to fire him, Minnelli became violent. She calmed down, kissed him and asked for sex. He refused and she hit him again."
Liza - who earlier this week filed a countersuit against Soumayah, claiming breach of contract - has vehemently denied his allegations, branding his claims a "quicksand of untruths and misstatements."

The Hills: Lauren Conrad Calls Spencer A Liar
June 18, 2009 02:18 PM by Britteny Elrick
Recently onThe View, Lauren Conrad opened up about her new book L.A. Candy, leaving The Hills, and all the latest Speidi gossip. Lauren revealed that Spencer never apologized for starting the sex tape rumors, although the show made it look like he did. Keep reading for more details, plus we've got the video for you…
According to a report on Usmagazine.com,Spencer Pratttold the ladies of The View thathe agreed to apologize to Conrad to get her to go to his wedding with Heidi Montag, calling his apology a wedding gift for his wife. But when Conrad appeared on The View Thursday, she smiled, paused and rolled her eyes when asked about the incident.
"Did you feel like it was a sincere apology when it came from him?" Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked. "To be perfectly honest, I wasn't on the other end of that call," Conrad replied. "That was filmed, and I wasn't on the other end. So I didn't even know about it until [it was on TV]. So, no, I didn't get an apology. He lied."

UK-based film studio Pinewood is working towards launching a new school that teaches students about the creation and production of video games, according to Develop. The company whose facilities have been used for countless James Bond films, The Dark Knight movies, and for the Academy Award nominated Les Misérables, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Amersham & Wycombe College to explore the creation of a "center of excellence," which will develop and deliver education and qualifications related to video games, animation, and film.
The new school would be part of the proposed expansion of Pinewood Studios – the Pinewood Development Framework. The new school would put a strong emphasis on many of the things outlined in the Next Gen report co-authored by game industry luminary Ian Livingstone and Alex Hope including game development and visual effects. Other areas to be explored include studio management, sound engineering and production.
"We are thrilled to be announcing these plans today to develop a centre of excellence for the screen based industries here at Pinewood," said Pinewood Studios director of strategy and communication Andrew Smith. "We hope it will help to provide the next generation of talent with the skills they need to turn their ideas into commercial success. By basing the centre at Pinewood it will allow students to work with and learn from industry colleagues who are at the top of their game, working on award winning and international productions on a daily basis."

Hyatt comes through
by Josh Bernoff
I just checked into the brand new Hyatt Olive 8 in Seattle. Huge, spacious, well-appointed rooms, very friendly staff, and when I got to room I was greeted with this.
In addition to a nice little snack and a bottle of wine, the blue envelope contains a personal note from Julie Coker, the General Manager of the Hyatt Regency Philadelphia, where as you may remember I experienced the chair that wasn't there.
This deserves special praise. Ms. Coker or someone working for her looked in their reservation system after my little fiasco, found out I was going to be this hotel, and arranged to have me greeted with this little display. Very human, very personal. And while they still haven't commented on my original blog post, this is better, since the endorsement is in my voice.
Thanks, Hyatt, and thanks, Ms. Coker.
P.S. Message to the blogosphere -- if you don't get the service you deserve, blog about it.

ArF laser flash photolysis of phenol and anisole87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453673View Description Hide Description
Absorption spectra of phenoxy radical in the gas phase are observed in the range of 210–300 nm in the ArF excimer laser (193 nm) flash photolysis of phenol and anisole. An intense absorption band is obtained around 230 nm and a broad band around 270–300 nm. In the photolysis of anisole, simultaneous formation of methyl and phenoxy radicals makes it possible to determine the molar extinction coefficient of phenoxy radical which is determined to be 7800 M− 1 cm− 1 at 230 nm. The phenoxy radicals are produced in the time range of shorter than 1 ns from phenol, anisole, pentafluorophenol, and pentafluoroanisole on irradiation with the ArF laser light. The photodissociation is not explained in terms of the hot molecule mechanism but of predissociation.
Efficient and selective population of high vibrational levels by stimulated near resonance Raman scattering87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453674View Description Hide Description
We report the successful application of an optically pumped molecular beam laser for efficient and selective population transfer from v″=0 to high lying vibrational levels of Na2 in the electronic ground state. More than 50% of the molecules in a thermally populated rotational level of v″=0 can be transferred to a state v″≫1 with typically ≥75% of the molecules excited out of the initial state found in the predetermined end vibrational level and approximately ≤25% distributed over other levels according to the Franck–Condon factors. The applicability of this technique to the study of collision processes involving vibrationally highly excited levels is discussed. This work also contributes in general to a better understanding of optically pumped dimer lasers.
Spin fluctuations of paramagnetic iron centers in proteins and model complexes: Mössbauer and EPR results87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453675View Description Hide Description
We have analyzed the Mössbauer spectra of several iron proteins in the regime of intermediate fluctuation rates of the magnetic hyperfine interaction using the dynamic line shape model of Clauser and Blume. All Mössbauer data were recorded in applied fields so that the electron Zeeman interaction is much larger than the hyperfine splittings. We modeled the transitions between the eigenstates of the electronic spin Hamiltonian by an effective spin–phonon coupling V ( 1 )=V 0∑′ i,j=x,y,z S i S j and described the phonons in the Debye approximation. With V 0 as the only adjustable parameter the model reproduced the major temperature dependence of the spectral shapes for spins from S=1 to S=5/2. We found V 0 to lie in the narrow range 3 K ≤V 0/k≤19 K, which is of the order of the zero‐field splittings, but does not correlate with it. The smallest values of V 0 were observed in the four‐coordinate iron–sulfur proteins. Refinements and implications of the model are discussed.
Measurement and modeling of nitrogen resonance line profiles from an electrodeless discharge lamp87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453676View Description Hide Description
Experimental profiles of the 1200 Å resonance triplet of atomic nitrogen were measured for a variety of operating conditions of an end‐on electrodeless lamp, and corresponding absorption curves were calculated. Each source profile was determined by fitting parameters to an empirical two‐layer model, then convoluting with the instrumental function for comparison with experimental data. Each three‐component profile was fitted with three adjustable parameters: an absorption parameter for each of the two layers and a third absorption parameter to adjust for radiation trapping. Curves of absorption as a function of atom concentration, calculated from these profiles, are very similar to the shock tubecalibrations of Thielen and Roth in which a source of similar design has been used.
Multiphoton ionization studies of benzene in tetramethylsilane and n‐pentane solutions87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453677View Description Hide Description
The multiphoton ionizationspectra of dilute solutions (≲10− 3 M) of benzene in tetramethylsilane (TMSi) and n‐pentane (n‐Pt) have been measured using linearly polarized light over the laser excitation wavelength (λexc) region from 360 to 560 nm. Spectra measured with circularly polarized light are also reported for 460 <λexc<540 nm. The order of the multiphoton ionization mechanisms that occur in different λexc regions has been determined, and their importance is discussed together with the observed polarization behavior. The polarization ratio and the ''apparent'' order of the ionization process were found to depend on the laser intensity. The ionization threshold of benzene in TMSi was estimated to lie between 6.6 and 5.9 eV, while in n‐Pt between 7.36 and 6.8 eV.
G e r a d e Rydberg states of acetylene studied by multiphoton ionization and photoelectron spectroscopy87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453678View Description Hide Description
The lowest few g e r a d eRydberg states of C2H2, C2HD, and C2D2 have been observed as two‐photon resonances in the multiphoton ionization (MPI) spectra of these isotopic species. Analysis of the two‐photon excitation spectra of these molecules, and of the accompanying MPI‐photoelectron spectra for C2H2, enable characterization of the 1Σ+ g and 1Δ g Rydberg states arising from the electronic promotion π3 u 3pπ1 u ←π4 u and reveal extensive vibronic interaction in this energy region. A search was made for higher g e r a d eRydberg states at energies up to 90 000 cm− 1. Weak, diffuse signal is observed for the 4p complex. No ionization signal was observed in the energy range where the n p (n=5–7) Rydberg states are expected to appear. This is taken as evidence for opening of a facile nonradiative decay channel at high excitation energies.
The electronic states of Si2 and Si− 2 as revealed by photoelectron spectroscopy87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453679View Description Hide Description
We have measured the photoelectron spectrum of Si− 2 and find that the molecular electron affinity is EA(Si2)=2.199±0.012 eV. This spectrum apparently involves multiple electronic states of the Si− 2 ion as well as several electronic states of the final neutral, Si2. In order to unravel our experimental findings, we have carried out a b i n i t i o MCSCF+1+2 CI calculations on both species. These calculations suggest that there are two nearly degenerate states for both Si2 and Si− 2. We can fit our experimental data by assuming detachment from two states of Si− 2 :X (2Π) [r e =2.187 Å] and A (2Σ+ g ) [T 0=0.117±0.016 eV, r e =2.127 Å]. We observe two final states of Si2: X (3Σ− g ) [r e =2.246 Å] and A (3Π u ) [T 0=0.053±0.015 eV, r e =2.171 Å]. These assignments are confirmed by an experimental study of the angular distributions of the photodetached electrons.
Resonance structure in the vibrationally resolved photoelectron branching ratios and angular distributions of the 2π− 1 channel of NO87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453680View Description Hide Description
We report on vibrationally resolved measurements of photoelectron angular distributions and branching ratios for NO+(2π− 1)X 1Σ+ using synchrotron radiation over hν=11.5–26 eV. Normally weak vibrational levels are strongly enhanced below 18 eV, and the photoelectron asymmetry parameters and branching ratios display a vibrationally dependent, broad spectral structure over hν≂11–18 eV. These observations may reflect the presence of the expected σ shape resonance, however, various interchannel coupling mechanisms may also be involved. Resonance structure in the photoelectron asymmetry parameters is also observed in the hν≂19–22 eV region. This structure is likely associated with Rydberg excitations from the 4σ orbital.
FTIR spectra of ammonia clusters in noble gas matrices87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453681View Description Hide Description
FTIRspectra of ammonia have been studied from 200 to 5200 cm− 1 over a wide range of concentration and temperature conditions in solid neon, argon, and nitrogen matrices. Dimer bands appear between monomer and higher aggregate absorptions and exhibit intermediate growth behavior on sample annealing and concentration changes. Comparison of spectra in solid argon at 5 and 12 K shows unrelaxed monomer absorptions at 12 K, which almost completely vanish at 5 K w i t h o u t any difference in the dimer spectrum; this indicates that the NH3 submolecules are relaxed in the matrix‐isolated dimer. One antisymmetric and two symmetric N–H stretching modes were observed for the dimer, which follow the 1 4NH3–1 5NH3 and NH3–ND3 shifts of their monomer analogs. The dimer N–H stretching modes are intensified by fivefold relative to the dimer umbrella bending mode as compared to the same relative monomer band intensities, which is diagnostic of the hydrogen bonding interaction. The matrix dimer spectra show that one N–H bond from one submolecule a n d two N–H bonds from the other submolecule are involved in nonlinear, intermolecular hydrogen bonding, and that these i n e q u i v a l e n t weakly bonded NH3 submolecules form an asymmetric cyclic dimer structure. The matrix dimer spectra further indicate that classical one‐hydrogen bond structures cannot be correct. Finally, trimer and higher clusters probably have similar structures, built from the dimer, based on similar infrared spectra.
Infrared–microwave double resonance and diode laser spectroscopy of the ν2/ν4 bands of SnH487(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453682View Description Hide Description
A pure rotational spectrum of SnH4 has been studied in the ν4 state by infared–microwave double resonance with a tunable diode laser. Twenty‐seven double resonance signals have been observed for the 11 J J –J J type rotational transitions of the 5 Sn isotopic species. An infrared spectrum of the Coriolis‐coupled ν2 and ν4 bands has been measured using a diode laser with Doppler‐limited resolution. The ground‐state scalar constants, B 0, D 0, and H 0, have been determined by taking combination differences in the ''forbidden'' ν2 band, which borrows intensity through a strong Coriolisinteraction. The observed microwave and infrared data have been analyzed simultaneously by including the Coriolisinteraction explicitly. More than 20 molecular constants have been determined accurately for the ν2/ν4 dyad of seven major isotopic species.
An extended study of the lowest Π bending vibration–rotation spectrum of Ar–HCl by intracavity far infrared laser/microwave double resonance spectroscopy87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453683View Description Hide Description
The lowest Π bending state in Ar–HCl has been more completely characterized through the use of far infrared laser/microwave double resonancespectroscopy. This extended analysis includes a partial reassignment of the far infrared spectra of Ar–H3 5Cl previously reported by Ray e t a l. and by Marshall e t a l., as well as an analysis of the ArH37 Cl spectra. Improved molecular constants have been determined. The value of the rotational constant is now in good agreement with that calculated by Hutson from the M5 double minimum potential surface. Along with the recently reported spectrum of the Σ bending vibration, this extended analysis provides strong evidence for the existence of two minima character in the intermolecular potential surface of Ar–HCl.
The high‐resolution far infrared spectrum of a van der Waals stretching vibration: The ν3 band of Ar–HCl87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453684View Description Hide Description
The first high‐resolution measurement of a van der Waals stretching vibration is reported. The ν3 fundamental stretching vibration in Ar–HCl has been measured by intracavity far infrared laser/microwave double resonancespectroscopy of a supersonic free jet. Coupling between the stretching state and the nearby bending states gives the spectrum an intensity which is greater than predicted. The molecular constants for the stretching state are in close agreement with calculations by Hutson for the M5 potential surface.
Pure dephasing and nonradiative decay processes in the excited electronic states of NaF:Cu+87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453685View Description Hide Description
We report the first optical dephasing study of an inorganic impurity system possessing sharp, low frequency mode structure in its ground and excited state spectra. The total dephasing times T 2 and population relaxation timesT 1 for the 1 T 2g and 1 E g d 9 sexcited states of NaF:Cu+ are determined at a series of temperatures between 1.8 and 296 K. The T 2 values are determined by extracting the Lorentzian components from one‐ and two‐photon excitation line shapes. The T 1 values caused by nonradiative decay rates are obtained by detecting very low quantum yield emission from the fast‐relaxing excited states and applying the formula t nr=Q t r , where t's are radiative and nonradiative lifetimes and Q is the quantum yield. T 1(1 T 2g )=4.6 ps and T 1(1 E g )=2.0 ps at 8 K. Significantly, these are very similar to the T 1 values calculated from lowest temperature Lorentzian linewidths by the relationship 1/T 2=1/T ′ 2 +1/(2T 1). The T 1 values stay approximately constant over the temperature range 1.8–45 K, while the linewidths rapidly increase indicating that pure dephasing dominates. Using ground and excited state information on the low frequency modes, we test optical Redfield theory and the nonperturbative harmonic theory for pure dephasing by pseudolocal phonons against data for this system which displays strongly anhamonic progressions. The nonperturbative theory fits the line broadening data to higher temperatures than optical Redfield theory for the least anharmonic excited state potential, 1 T 2g . Both theories underpredict the broadening with temperature of the extremely anharmonic 1 E g state. A simple anharmonic theory including scattering to overtone levels also fails to predict the observed linewidth temperature behavior, although it is demonstrated these processes should be occurring.
Polarized Raman spectra of thin films. III. Conformational analysis of Langmuir–Blodgett multilayers (1 to 49) of barium stearate87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453686View Description Hide Description
Polarized Raman spectra of Langmuir–Blodgett multilayers of barium stearate have been studied in the 2800–3000 cm− 1 region (C–H stretching vibrations). The samples have been excited by evanescent waves produced by the plasmonillumination method. Only TM excitation can be used for very thin films. Therefore the polarized Raman spectra are complex, but, due to the smallness of some nondiagonal terms of the Raman tensor, these spectra are similar to the pure polarized spectra given by the TE excitation. When the film thickness decreases from 122.5 to 22.5 nm, the spectra are only slightly modified. The study of the ν(C–C) lines in the 1000–1200 cm− 1 region have shown that the chains are still all‐t r a n s plane. With ultrathin films (<20 nm) changes are observed in the shape and in the polarization of the 2800–3000 cm− 1 band. The first modification (appearance and disappearance of shoulders or peaks) is attributed to conformational change of the acyl chains. The second modification (unpolarization) is related to the deformation of the monolayer deposited on the prism surface which is rough relative to the molecular dimensions. It seems that only the first three layers are concerned by this deformation.
Rotational perturbations between Rydberg states of Li287(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453687View Description Hide Description
With two cw single mode dye lasers selective two‐step excitation of Rydberg levels of the Li2 molecule is achieved which is detected by optical double resonance polarizationspectroscopy. The Doppler‐free DR signals allow accurate measurements of rotational perturbations which cause level shifts and intensity anomalies due to interference phenomena. The experimental results are discussed and molecular constants for the deperturbed Rydberg states are given, which, together with the coupling matrix elements allow the accurate reproduction of the measuredspectra.
Near threshold ionization effects in the Ge L 2 M 2,3 M 4,5 and L 2 M 4,5 M 4,5 Auger spectra of volatile germanium compounds87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453742View Description Hide Description
The proximity of the L 2 (2p 1 / 2) ionization potential in germanium compounds to the MgKα radiation energy introduces threshold ionization effects in the GeL M M Auger spectra derived from this level. The spectra of GeH4, Ge(CH3)4, Ge(C2H5)4, GeF4, and GeCl4 excited with MgKα radiation are compared with those excited with AlKα radiation and post‐collision interaction (PCI) and spectator satellite effects induced are analyzed. Comparison of L 2,3 M 2,3 M 4,5 and L 2,3 M 4,5 M 4,5 spectra reveal a final state dependence of the satellite shifts.
Dynamics of vibrationally excited ozone formed by three‐body recombination. I. Spectroscopy87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453688View Description Hide Description
Spectrally resolved infrared fluorescence near 10 μm from vibrationally excited O3(ν3) has been observed in a cryogenic reactor facility at low pressure. The excited O3(v) is formed principally by three‐body recombination of O and O2 in flowing, microwave‐discharged O2/Ar mixtures at 1 Torr and 80 K. The spectral resolution is sufficient to permit identification and assignment of band centers for up to five quanta of stretching excitation. The observed transition frequencies are consistent with those predicted from a Darling–Dennison perturbation treatment. The spectra, which sample the recombination/deactivation sequence in its early to middle stages, indicate surprisingly little intermode coupling, being predominantly ν3 in character. There is also evidence of O3(v) excitation by near‐resonant V–V coupling between O3 and O2(v=2). The spectroscopicanalysis of the data is described, and considerations for scaling the spontaneous transition probabilities with vibrational level are discussed.
Dynamics of vibrationally excited ozone formed by three‐body recombination. II. Kinetics and mechanism87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453689View Description Hide Description
Spectrally resolved infrared chemiluminescence from vibrationally excited ozone, O3(v), has been used to study the reaction kinetics of O3(v) in discharged O2/Ar mixtures at ∼1 Torr and 80–150 K. Dependences of the excited statenumber densities on temperature and O2 mole fraction indicate O3(v) is formed primarily by three‐body recombination of O with O2 and is destroyed by rapid chemical reaction with O. Several secondary excitation reactions involving vibrationally and electronically excited O2 are also indicated. The data are treated with a detailed steady‐state analysis of the discharge kinetics, to extract estimates for rate coefficients of the key elementary reactions. The effective ''quasinascent'' state distribution in recombination is also inferred; this distribution shows selective recombination into the asymmetric stretching mode, but an apparently statistical (i.e., collisionally scrambled) behavior among the vibrational states within that mode. The results are discussed in terms of the detailed dynamics of three‐body recombination.
Computer simulation of ion recombination in irradiated nonpolar liquids87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453690View Description Hide Description
The problem of the diffusion controlled recombination of ions for the case where initially two or more pairs of oppositely charged ions are found in each other's Coulomb field, as occurs in the track of a high‐energy electron in a nonpolar liquid, is treated by means of computer simulation. Results are presented on the probability of survival as a function of time for ion pairs in clusters containing up to four ion pairs initially. The effect of an external electric field on the probability of escape from recombination is investigated. The multipair results are compared with the calculations based on the single‐pair theory. The consequences of the consideration of multipair effects in addition to the single ion‐pair contribution in the nonhomogeneous kinetics of the track of high‐energy electron in nonpolar liquids are discussed briefly.
Direct measurement of rotational energy transfer rate constants for H3 5Cl (v=1)87(1987); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.453691View Description Hide Description
We investigate the rotational energy transfer of H3 5Cl (v=1) in collisions with thermal HCl at 298 K. Rotationally state‐selective excitation of v=1 over J=1–6 is achieved by stimulated Raman pumping, and the rotational relaxation from the initially pumped level is monitored via 2+1 resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) through the E 1Σ+–X 1Σ+0–1 band. The ions are detected in a time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer in order to ensure that only relaxation of H3 5Cl is observed. We present empirical correction factors for determining relative rotational populations from the REMPI spectral line intensities and extract the rate constants for rotational energy transfer from the time‐dependent populations using numerical techniques. The excellent sensitivity of the REMPI technique makes it possible to monitor the relaxation on very short collisional time scales (<0.1 hard sphere collision) and thereby enables us to determine the rate constants for both single quantum and multiquanta rotational transitions directly, without the use of a simplifying model for the matrix of rate constants. The measured rate constants illustrate the importance of multiquanta transitions for HCl; such transitions account for ∼30% of the total population loss from a given rotational level. We compare our rate constants to those obtained in previous measurements on HCl (v=1) and HF (v=2). We find that the rate constants are not adequately described by models based solely on the rotational energy defect of the vibrationally excited molecule.
