The time-dependent tracking inversion method is studied to extract the potential energy surface of the electronic excited state in the photodissociation of triatomic molecules. Based on the relay of the regularized inversion procedure and time-dependent wave packet propagation, the algorithm extracts the underlying potential energy surface piece by piece by tracking the time-dependent data, which can be synthesized from Raman excitation profiles. We have demonstrated the algorithm to extract the potential energy surface of electronic excited state for NO2 molecule where the wave packet split on a saddle-shaped surface. Finally, we describe the merits of the time-dependent tracking inversion method compared with the time-independent inversion method and discussed several extensions of the algorithm.

Solution-state structure of native F430 was determined by using NMR methods and NMR-based distance geometry (DG) computations. Structures were generated with loose NOE-derived interproton distance restraints (2.0-2.5 Å, 2.0-3.5 Å and 2.0-4.5 Å for strong, medium, and weak NOE cross-peak intensities, respectively). 2D NOESY back-calculations of structures were subsequently carried out for establishing the consistence between experimental data and DG-model structures. The back-calculated 2D NOESY spectra of resulting DG structures were well consistent with experimental 2D NOESY spectra. Superposition of 20 independent structures with macrocyclic ring atoms and all atoms of F430 afforded pairwise root mean square deviations (RMSD) of 0.025-0.125 Å and 0.64-1.3 Å, respectively. The macrocyclic rings of structures are well converged to a unique conformation with saddle-shaped deformation whereas most of side chains are not converged. The average dihedral angle (N1-N2-N3-N4, 27.78±1.50°) of 20 DG-structures exhibits that the macrocyclic ring conformation is puckered as much as 12,13-diepimeric F430 (28.75±4.07°).

We present a theoretical formulation of diffusion process on solid surface based on multidimensional transition state theory (TST). Surface diffusion of single adatom results from hopping processes on corrugated potential surface and is affected by surface vibrations of surface atoms. The rate of rare events such as hopping between lattice sites can be calculated by transition state theory. In order to include the interactions of the adatom with surface vibrations, it is assumed that the coordinates of adatom are coupled to the bath of harmonic oscillators whose frequencies are those of surface phonon modes. When nearest neighbor surface atoms are considered, we can construct Hamiltonians which contain terms for interactions of adatom with surface vibrations for the well minimum and the saddle point configurations, respectively. The escape rate constants, thus the surface diffusion parameters, are obtained by normal mode analysis of the force constant matrix based on the Hamiltonian. The analysis is applied to the diffusion coefficients of W, Ir, Pt and Ta atoms on the bcc(110) plane of W in the zero-coverage limit. The results of the calculations are encouraging considering the limitations of the model considered in the study.

The paper presents a critical analysis of selected topics related to the modeling of interacting species in which prey has nonlinear reproduction, which is in competition with predator. The mathematical model's stochastic stability is investigated. The method of designing appropriate Lyapunov functions is used to identify permanence conditions among the parameters of the model and conditions for the structure to no longer be extinct. The system's two-dimensional diffusive stability is regarded and studied. The system experiences the process of saddle-node bifurcation by varying the death rate of predator parameter. Further effects of parameters that undergo inherent oscillations are numerically investigated, revealing that as the intensity of predation parameter b is increased, the device encounters non-periodic and damped oscillations.

This paper presents the study on the magnetic field analysis of magnetid deflection yoke using integral equation method. An integral equation method is developed for the computer modeling of the magnetic fields produced by color CRT and T.V. deflection yoke. Deflection of electron beams using magnetic fields is applied in a variety of display instruments such as te.evision receivers, electron probe instruments, etc. The magnetic field is solved by dividing these into the finite elements in the whole domain : the saddle coil which deflects the electron heam horizontally, the toroidal coil which deflects it vertically, magnetic core which enhances the magnetid fields genterated by the both coils. Using oblate spheroidal coordinates, this paper has had an easier access to the shape of magnetic deflection yoke chasing the boundaries than other coordinates.

Lightness and flexibility of membrane roofs make them very sensitive to any external load. One of the most important parameters that controls their behavior, especially under wind load is the sag/span ratio of edge cables. Based on the value of the pretension force in the edge cables and the horizontal projection of the actual area covered by the membrane, an optimized design range of cable sag/span ratios has been determined through carrying on several membrane form-finding analyses. Fully coupled fluid structure dynamic analyses of these membrane roofs are performed under wind load with several conditions using the CFD method. Through investigating the numerical results of these analyses, the behavior of membrane roofs with cables sag/span ratios selected from the previously determined optimized design range has been evaluated.

In July 2023, previously unrecorded fungi belonging to the genus Helvella were collected from the city of Taebaek, South Korea. These fungi are morphologically similar to Helvella crispa, but their differences include a wide, saddle-shaped apothecium and white hair on the receptacle surface. By analyzing DNA sequences combining the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU) regions and comparing them with various related species of Helvella, the collected fungi were identified as H. orienticrispa.

A Skeletal Class III malocclusion may be the result of a large mandible, a small maxilla or combination of the two. Protraction devices for the maxilla are used to promote the growth of a deficient maxilla by applying extraoral force to actively growing patients. This study has been performed to determine whether there are significant differences in skeletal and dental changes between FH/Pal 1 and FH/Pal 2 group, SNA 1 and SNA 2 group, SNB 1 and SNB 2 group, and LFH 1 and LFH 2 group after RME and facial mask therapy. The results of this study can be summarized and concluded as follows ; 1. In all patients after maxillary protraction, the maxilla and maxillary dentitions moved forward, and the mandible rotated backward and downward. In most of them, palatal plane is tends to have an upward inclination. 2. The FH/Pal group 1, having an upward inclination of the palatal plane as a result of Facial mast showed statistically significant maxillary forward movement compared to the FH/Pal group 2. 3. The SNA group 1 showed significantly less mandibular backward movement and there was a tendency for the palatal plane to upward inclination compared to SNA group 2. 4. The SNB group 1 showed significantly less maxillary forward movement, but the vertical dimension, especially the lower facial height increased by mandibular downward rotation compared to SNB group 2. 5. LFH group 1, which had large saddle angle and posterior positioned mandible in the pre-treatment stage, showed maxillary protraction effect without significant increase in lower facial height compared to LFH group 2.

This study was conducted to monitor the yields of useful substances extracted from Inonotus obliquus. Optimization of ultrasonic-assisted extraction process was carried out by using response surface methodology under different extraction conditions. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of independent variables such as extraction time ($X_1$), ethanol concentration ($X_2$) and extraction temperature ($X_3$) on dependent variables such as soluble solid yield ($Y_1$), total phenol contents ($Y_2$), total flavonoid contents ($Y_3$) and browning color($Y_4$). Soluble solid yield was affected by ethanol concentration and extraction temperature. The maximum soluble solid yield was 18.02% at 20.47 min ($X_1$), 42.85% ($X_2$) and $69.57^{\circ}C$ ($X_3$) in saddle point. Total phenol contents were highly affected by ethanol concentration and extraction temperature. The maximum total phenol contents were 71.57mg GAE/g at 21.60min ($X_1$), 45.19% ($X_2$), $69.68^{\circ}C$ ($X_3$). The electron donating ability was affected by extraction temperature and extraction time. Total flavonoid contents were affected by only extraction temperature. The maximum total flavonoid contents were 35.98 mg RE/g at 22.53min ($X_1$), 46.37% ($X_2$), $69.56^{\circ}C$ ($X_3$) in saddle point. The browning color was highly affected by extraction time, ethanol concentration and extraction temperature. The maximum browning color was at 22.00 min ($X_1$), 46.89% ($X_2$), $69.71^{\circ}C$ ($X_3$) in saddle point. As a result, the optimum extraction conditions were predicted; extraction time of 21.50 min, ethanol concentration of 44.87% and extraction temperature of $69.635^{\circ}C$.

A central composite design was used to investigate the effects of the three independent variables of extraction temperature ($X_1$), ethanol concentration ($X_2$), and extraction time ($X_3$), on dependent variables including yield ($Y_1$), total phenol levels ($Y_2$), electron-donating ability ($Y_3$), brownness ($Y_4$), and reducing sugar content ($Y_5$) of Vitis Coignetiae. Yield was affected by extraction temperature and time. The maximum yield was obtained at $91.62^{\circ}C(X_1)$, and, 25.37% (w/v) ethanol ($X_2$), after 317.70 min of extraction ($X_3$), evident as a saddle when displayed graphically. Total phenol levels were essentially unaffected by extraction temperature or ethanol concentration, but were highly influenced by extraction time. The maximum total phenol levels was 4,763.46 GAE mg/100 g obtained at $88.20^{\circ}C(X_1)$, and 47.79% (w/v) ethanol ($X_2$), after 349.32 min ($X_3$) of extraction. Electron-donating ability (EDA) was affected by extraction temperature and time. Maximum EDA was 55.90% at $86.72^{\circ}C(X_1)$, 50.61% (w/v) ethanol ($X_2$), and 265.96 min ($X_3$) of extration time, again shown by a graphical saddle. Brownness was affected by extraction time. The maximum extent of brown coloration was obtained at $82.66^{\circ}C(X_1)$, 99.27% (w/v) ethanol ($X_2$), and 252.63 min of extraction time ($X_3$), once again shown by graphical saddle. The maximum reducing sugar content was obtained at $96.24^{\circ}C(X_1)$, 22.59% (w/v) ethanol ($X_2$), and 216.06 min extraction time($X_3$).
