Combined theory of one- and two-electron bipolar and polar multicenter integrals of noninteger n Slater functions and Coulomb-Yukawa-like potentials with noninteger indices
No full textBy the use of one-range addition theorems suggested by the author, the combined theory for one- and two-electron multicenter integrals of chi -noninteger n Slater type orbitals (chi -NISTOs) and bipolar and polar noninteger Coulomb (C-NIBPs and C-NIPs) -Yukawa (Y-NIBPs and Y-NIPs)-like correlated potentials is presented. These multicenter integrals are expressed through the basic polar integrals of chi -integer n Slater type orbitals (chi -ISTOs) and Coulomb-Yukawa-like potentials with integer indices (C-IPs and Y-IPs). We note that the noninteger quantum number n is defined as n*
Theory of complete orthonormal sets of relativistic tensor wave functions and Slater tensor orbitals of particles with arbitrary spin in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces
No full textUsing the complete orthonormal basis sets of nonrelativistic and quasirelativistic orbitals introduced by the author in previous papers for particles with arbitrary spin the new analytical relations for the 2(2s + 1)-component relativistic tensor wave functions and Slater tensor orbitals in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces are derived, where s = 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, .... The relativistic tensor function sets are expressed through the corresponding non relativistic and quasirelativistic orbitals. The analytical formulas for overlap integrals over relativistic Slater tensor orbitals in position space are also derived. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Unified analytical treatment of two‐electron multicenter integrals of central and noncentral interaction potentials over Slater orbitals
No full textThe complete orthonormal sets of psi(alpha)-exponential-type orbitals (ETOs) (alpha = 1, 0, -1, -2,...) introduced by the author for expanding Slater-type orbitals (STOs) enable two-electron multicenter integrals of arbitrary central and noncentral interaction potentials (CIPs and NCIPs) to be reduced to one-center two-electron integrals. These one-center integrals are advantageously reduced using Fourier convolution methods. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
Change in lithic technological organization strategies during the Middle and Later Stone Ages in east Africa
No full textThis dissertation reports on archaeological research carried out in Kenya’s central Rift Valley. The primary research objective was to investigate differences in lithic technological organization strategies among archaeological sites dating to the Middle (MSA) and Later (LSA) Stone Ages. The motivation for the project was to better understand how the development of cooperative social networks by modern humans during the late MSA enabled more effective planning of tool use during the LSA.
To accomplish the research objective I analyzed six flaked stone artifact assemblages from three different archaeological sites located in the Lake Naivasha basin. Three MSA assemblages from Marmonet Drift are dated >110 ka, 110-94 ka, and 40 to 36 ka; and one LSA assemblage from Ol Tepesi dates to 19 ka. Assemblages were analyzed in four ways: 1) typological composition; 2) artifact morphometrics; 3) tool production techniques; and 4) artifact curation strategies, including use-wear analysis and retouch patterns. These assemblages provided an exceptional opportunity to examine long-term changes in human technological organization with great control over raw material quality and availability.
Results of my analysis show dramatic change in lithic technological organization strategies between the MSA and LSA in terms of artifact size, shape, morphological standardization, production techniques, use, and curation. Large and heavily retouched stone artifacts, including unifacial points, scrapers, and knives, dominate MSA assemblages. Most of these tools accumulated high frequencies of use-wear traces and, along with large numbers of soft hammer retouch flakes in assemblages, indicate long artifact use-lives. These data suggest a technological organization strategy of curating large, transformable, morphologically flexible, and functionally versatile tools that had the potential to perform a wide range of unplanned tool-using activities. Conversely, smaller, thinner backed microliths with low frequencies of use-wear traces dominate LSA assemblages. End scrapers made on blades and their associated steep-edged retouch flakes represent the only major curated tool class. These data suggest that LSA technological organization strategies were geared toward the production of disposable, replaceable, and morphologically standardized tools organized in anticipation of more planned tool-using activities.
The results of this research project are significant for our understanding of the evolution of human technological planning. It appears that MSA humans reacted to foraging opportunities they encountered in their environments by relying on flexible and transformable toolkits while LSA humans appear to have anticipated and strategically planned for tool-using activities with specialized toolkits. The development of cooperative social networks during the late MSA likely enhanced the ability of modern humans to plan resource acquisition strategies using mechanically efficient and standardized tool designs.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Philip Slater, accepted the attached license on 2016-03-30 at 08:37.The student, Philip Slater, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-03-30 at 09:02.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-04-01 at 16:19.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9127 on 2016-07-07 at 13:48:39Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T20:27:02Z (GMT).

Presence 2005: the eighth annual international workshop on presence, 21-23 September, 2005 University College London (Conference proceedings)
No full textOVERVIEW (taken from the CALL FOR PAPERS)
Academics and practitioners with an interest in the concept of (tele)presence are invited to submit their work for presentation at PRESENCE 2005 at University College London in London, England, September 21-23, 2005.
The eighth in a series of highly successful international workshops, PRESENCE 2005 will provide an open discussion forum to share ideas regarding concepts and theories, measurement techniques, technology, and applications related to presence, the psychological state or subjective perception in which a person fails to accurately and completely acknowledge the role of technology in an experience, including the sense of 'being there' experienced by users of advanced media such as virtual reality.
The concept of presence in virtual environments has been around for at least 15 years, and the earlier idea of telepresence at least since Minsky's seminal paper in 1980. Recently there has been a burst of funded research activity in this area for the first time with the European FET Presence Research initiative. What do we really know about presence and its determinants? How can presence be successfully delivered with today's technology? This conference invites papers that are based on empirical results from studies of presence and related issues and/or which contribute to the technology for the delivery of presence. Papers that make substantial advances in theoretical understanding of presence are also welcome. The interest is not solely in virtual environments but in mixed reality environments. Submissions will be reviewed more rigorously than in previous conferences. High quality papers are therefore sought which make substantial contributions to the field.
Approximately 20 papers will be selected for two successive special issues for the journal Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments.
PRESENCE 2005 takes place in London and is hosted by University College London. The conference is organized by ISPR, the International Society for Presence Research and is supported by the European Commission's FET Presence Research Initiative through the Presencia and IST OMNIPRES projects and by University College London
