Spin tunneling in magnetic molecules: Quantitative estimates for Fe8 clusters

Spin tunneling in the particular case of the magnetic molecular cluster octanuclear iron(III), Fe8, is treated by an effective Hamiltonian that allows for an angle-based description of the process. The presence of an external magnetic field along the easy axis is also taken into account in this description. Analytic expressions for the energy levels and barriers are obtained from a harmonic approximation of the potential function which give results in good agreement with the experimental results. The energy splittings due to spin tunneling is treated in an adapted WKB approach and it is shown that the present description can give results to a reliable degree of accuracy.

Generalized simulated annealing: Application to silicon clusters

We have compared the recently introduced generalized simulated annealing (GSA) with conventional simulated annealing (CSA). GSA was tested as a tool to obtain the ground-state geometry of molecules. We have used selected silicon clusters (Sin, n=4-7,10) as test cases. Total energies were calculated through tight-binding molecular dynamics. We have found that the replacement of Boltzmann statistics (CSA) by Tsallis's statistics (GSA) has the potential to speed up optimizations with no loss of accuracy. Next, we applied the GSA method to study the ground-state geometry of a 20-atom silicon cluster. We found an original geometry, apparently lower in energy than those previously described in the literature.

Integrating interaction resources in the graphics clusters

This paper aims to describe the basic concepts and necessary for Java programs can invoke libraries of programming language C/C ++, through the JNA API. We used a library developed in C/C ++ called Glass [8], which offers a solution for viewing 3D graphics, using graphics clusters, reducing the cost of viewing. The purpose of the work is to interact with the humanoid developed using Java, which makes movements of LIBRAS language for the deaf, as Glass's, so that through this they can view the information using stereoscopic multi-view in full size. ©2010 IEEE.

Selecting candidate labels for hierarchical document clusters using association rules

One way to organize knowledge and make its search and retrieval easier is to create a structural representation divided by hierarchically related topics. Once this structure is built, it is necessary to find labels for each of the obtained clusters. In many cases the labels have to be built using only the terms in the documents of the collection. This paper presents the SeCLAR (Selecting Candidate Labels using Association Rules) method, which explores the use of association rules for the selection of good candidates for labels of hierarchical document clusters. The candidates are processed by a classical method to generate the labels. The idea of the proposed method is to process each parent-child relationship of the nodes as an antecedent-consequent relationship of association rules. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the precision and recall of labels obtained by classical methods. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
