Calculation of isotope shifts and relativistic shifts in C I, C II, C III, and C IV

Coupled-cluster single-double calculations of the relativistic energy shifts in C IV, Na I, Mg II, Al III, Si IV, Ca II and Zn II

The relativistic coupled-cluster single-double method is used to calculate the dependence of frequencies of strong E1-transitions in many monovalent atoms and ions on the fine-structure constant α. These transitions are used in the search for manifestations of the variation of the fine-structure constant in quasar absorption spectra. Results of the present calculations are in good agreement wit...

C*-Extreme Points and C*-Faces oF the Epigraph iF C*-Affine Maps in *-Rings

Abstract. In this paper, we define the notion of C*-affine maps in the unital *-rings and we investigate the C*-extreme points of the graph and epigraph of such maps. We show that for a C*-convex map f on a unital *-ring R satisfying the positive square root axiom with an additional condition, the graph of f is a C*-face of the epigraph of f. Moreover, we prove som...

c-Frames and c-Bessel mappings

The theory of c-frames and c-Bessel mappings are the generalizationsof the theory of frames and Bessel sequences. In this paper, weobtain several equivalent conditions for dual of c-Bessel mappings.We show that for a c-Bessel mapping $f$, a retrievalformula with respect to a c-Bessel mapping $g$ is satisfied if andonly if $g$ is sum of the canonical dual of $f$ with a c-Besselmapping which  wea...

Systematic shifts in cystatin C between 2006 and 2010.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cystatin C is used increasingly as a biomarker of renal function; however, cystatin C assays are not standardized. Our objective was to compare cystatin C results within the Coronary Artery Calcification in Type 1 Diabetes (CACTI) study over time and in repeated measures to evaluate for assay drift. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Serum samples were obt...
