Vibrational analysis yields a and . A preliminary rotational analysis gives {\AA} and {\AA}. The spectroscopy and the electronic structure are discussed and the experimental molecular constants show a very good agreement with our recent state-of-the-art ab initio calculated value
SPIN-ORBIT CI STUDY OF VALENCE AND RYDBERG STATES OF LiBe
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, The Ohio State University; Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology; Institute fur Physikalische Chemie der T. U. Munchen, Stevens Institute of TechnologyAb initio spin-orbit full configuration interaction calculations in the context of relativistic effective core potentials are reported for the weakly bound metal dimer LiBe, a 3-valence-electron system. The effects of basis set on the energies of valence and Rydberg states of the cluster are discussed, as are the effects of truncation of the CI on the energy of the latter states. Results at the dissociative limit of 40 bohr are compared to the experimental atomic spectra."
LIBE project – Supporting Lifelong learning with Inquiry-based education
No full text“If you do not know something, Google® it”. In this well-known motto, whatever kind of information appears to be undeniably at a hand. However, there is a subtle but sensible difference between surfing on the web casually but, thanks to serendipity, finding useful information, and looking for some piece of information intentionally, devoting time, effort, concentration to reach a specific goal. And it is not only a matter of staying focused, or being motivated to learn something or to learn to do something. It is a matter of knowing exactly what to ask for, and how to ask for it. A relevant lack in basic skills such as vocabulary, reading comprehension, logical reasoning and numeracy often represents an obstacle to a proficient use of the huge quantity of information available in the net. LIBE project - Supporting Lifelong Learning with Inquiry Based Education, funded within the Lifelong Learning Programme by the European Commission (ref. no.: 543058-LLP-1-2013-1-ITKA3-KA3MP), aims at offering young adults (16-24 years old) with low levels of education a set of personalized e-learning courses on transversal competences, i.e. literacy, numeracy and problem solving in technology-rich environments, in four languages (English, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese). LIBE courses are composed of 32 Multimedia Presentations and 125 Learning Objects. This e-booklet presents the learning goals, the structure, the pedagogical approach and the assessment tools designed to rebuild transversal skills with ICT. Its aim is to offer, to teachers, educators, and professionals working with low achievers, the highlights from the work carried out in LIBE project in order to facilitate the integration process into society and labour market of young adults in Europe

An Assessment of the Commission’s Proposal on Privacy and Electronic Communications:Study for the LIBE Committee
No full textThis study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee, appraises the European Commission’s proposal for an ePrivacy Regulation. The study assesses whether the proposal would ensure that the right to the protection of personal data, the right to respect for private life and communications, and related rights enjoy a high standard of protection. The study also highlights the proposal’s potential benefits and drawbacks more generally
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Dr. Glendon Swarthout
No full textHosted by Roger M. Busfield, MSU Assistant Professor of Speech and Theater, Meet the Author is designed to introduce a general audience to a contemporary author and their work through in-depth interviews. This episode features a conversation between Dr. Glendon Swarthout, prolific author and English professor at MSU, and assistant professors Sam S. Baskett and Theodore B. Strandness
Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
Media policy for ethnic and national minorities in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia
No full textThis chapter describes legal, institutional and professional frameworks for media policy concerning national and ethnic minorities in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It considers four models of minority media policy – the autonomous; anti-discrimination; minority protection and assimilation models – in an attempt to examine how minority access to the media can be facilitated through regulation. In particular, the author argues for greater emphasis to be placed on minority protection and anti-discrimination measures
