We have studied the core-polarization effect on the IsOd-she11 single-particle electromagnetic quadrupole transitions due to coupling with the quadrupole giant resonances. The self-consistent Hartree-Fock + RPA method is applied for the calculations of the single-particle wave functions and the response functions of the giant resonances. The particle-vibration-coupling model is used to calculat...

The nuclear wobbling motion is studied from a microscopic viewpoint. It is shown that the expressions not only of the excitation energy but also of the electromagnetic transition rate in the microscopic RPA framework can be cast into the corresponding forms of the macroscopic rotor model. Criteria to identify the rotational band associated with the wobbling motion are given, based on which exam...

RPA-coated single-stranded DNA (RPA-ssDNA), a nucleoprotein structure induced by DNA damage, promotes ATR activation and homologous recombination (HR). RPA is hyper-phosphorylated and ubiquitylated after DNA damage. The ubiquitylation of RPA by PRP19 and RFWD3 facilitates ATR activation and HR, but how it is stimulated by DNA damage is still unclear. Here, we show that RFWD3 binds RPA constitut...

An experiment using the Eurogam Phase II gamma-ray spectrometer confirms the existence of an excited superdeformed (SD) band in 190 Hg and its very unusual decay into the lowest SD band over 3-4 transitions. The energies and dipole character of the transitions linking the two SD bands have been firmly established. Comparisons with RPA calculations indicate that the excited SD band can be interp...

Starting from an effective Skyrme interaction we present a method to take into account the coupling between oneand two-phonon terms in the wave functions of excited states. The approach is a development of a finite rank separable approximation for the quasiparticle RPA calculations proposed in our previous work. The influence of the phonon-phonon coupling on energies and transition probabilitie...

Recent J = 0 (para) baryonium interpretations of the BES narrow resonance data near the ee → pp̄ threshold suggests the existance of ortho baryonium. To assist future searches we study J = 1 states, especially vector meson leptonic decays, and report RPA calculations for both light and heavy mesons using a Coulomb-gauge QCD-inspired model. Since the φ(1880) is the only missing model state, other...

The properties of the low-energy dipole response are investigated for the proton-rich doubly magic nucleus 48 Ni, in a comparative study of two microscopic models: fully self-consistent Relativistic Random-Phase Approximation(RRPA) based on the novel density-dependent meson-exchange interactions, and Continuum Random-Phase Approximation(CRPA) using Skyrme-type interactions with the continuum pr...

The adsorption of alkanes in a protonated zeolite has been investigated at different levels of theory. At the lowest level we use density-functional theory (DFT) based on semi-local (gradient-corrected) functionals which account only for the interaction of the molecule with the acid site. To describe the van der Waals (vdW) interactions between the saturated molecule and the inner wall of the z...

INTRODUCTION Regular physical activity (RPA) is a major therapeutic recommendation in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We evaluated the association between frequency of RPA and metabolic control, cardiovascular risk factors, and treatment regimes. METHODS The Pediatric Quality Initiative (DPV), including data from 225 centers in Germany and Austria, provided anon...
