Virial relations for the Dirac equation in a central field and their applications to calculations of H-like atoms are considered. It is demonstrated that using these relations allows one to evaluate various average values for a hydrogenlike atom. The corresponding relations for non-diagonal matrix elements provide an effective method for analytical evaluations of infinite sums that occur in cal...

Environmental ethics is concerned with the articulation and defence of what I shall call 'the green belief-the belief, namely, that a fairly radical change in the way we engage with nature is imperative. Environmental virtue ethics, then, is concerned with articulating and defending the green belief in virtue ethics terms, rather than in the terms of its two rivals, utilitarianism and deontolog...

We deal with the statistical matching problem and in particular we study the problem related to the managing of inconsistencies. In fact, when logical relations among the variables are present incoherence can arise in the probability evaluations. The aim of this paper is to remove such incoherences by using different methods. Specific precise distances minimization or least committal imprecise ...

The use of ®rst-principles molecular dynamics to calculate the viscosity of liquid metals using the Green±Kubo relations is described. The ®rst-principles techniques are based on density functional theory, the pseudopotential approximation, and plane-wave basis sets. The statistical-mechanical basis of the Green±Kubo relations is summarised, and extensive ®rst-principles molecular dynamics simu...

A quantization scheme for the phenomenological Maxwell theory of the full electromagnetic field in an inhomogeneous three-dimensional, dispersive and absorbing dielectric medium is developed. The classical Maxwell equations with spatially varying and Kramers–Kronig consistent permittivity are regarded as operator-valued field equations, introducing additional currentand charge-density operator ...

The varieties of marriage described by Manu and accepted by Vatsyayana are mentioned. The qualities of the bride and bridegroom for an ideal marriage are enumerated by Vatsyayana. The Shastraic view of the same along with the valid conditions of a Hindu Marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 are contrasted. The role of the virtuous wife in house-keeping and looking after the husband, accor...

Green Computing is one of the emerging computing technology in the field of computer science engineering and technology to provide Green Information Technology (Green IT / GC). It is mainly used to protect environment, optimize energy consumption and keeps green environment. Green computing also refers to environmentally sustainable computing. In recent years, companies in the computer industry...
