The time-resolved measurements were made using standard time-correlated single photon counting techniques [9]. The instrument response function had a typical full width at half-maximum of 50 ps. Time-resolved spectra were reconstructed by standard methods and corrected to susceptibilities on a frequency scale. Stokes shifts were calculated as first moments of cubic-spline interpolations of these spectra. 

Thus we see that the first moment of the spectral density multiplied by h is the reorganization energy (i.e., one half of the Stokes shift magnitude), whereas the time dependence of the first moment of p(w) corresponds to the fluorescence Stokes shift. Thus the time dependence of S t) is determined entirely by the spectral density. At high temperature [i.e., when p(w) contains frequencies less than 2kBT], S(t) becomes the classical correlation function [36] used by many previous authors [7-10], This follows from... 

As a first application of a new analytical gradient method employing UHF reference functions, seven different methods for inclusion of correlation effects were employed to optimize the geometry and calculate the harmonic vibrational frequencies and dipole moments of the lowest open-shell states for three simple hydrides including 3Z i SiH2228. As the degree of correlation correction increased, results approached those from the best multiconfiguration SCF calculation. 

The inner-integral of Equation (2) was numerically integrated using a four-point Gaussian quadrature. The mean bubble length was calculated from the first moment of the frequency distribution function given in Equation (2). 

That is, the first moment of the residence time frequency function (mean residence time) equals the quotient of the system volume V and the constant volume flow rate Q through the system. 

The first step in data analysis is the selection of the best filling probability function, often beginning with a graphical analysis of the frequency histogram. Moment ratios and moment-ratio diagrams (with p as abscissa and as ordinate) are useful since probability functions of known distributions have characteristic values of p, and p. ... 

The calculation of frequency-dependent linear-response properties may be an expensive task, since first-order response equations have to be solved for each considered frequency [1]. The cost may be reduced by introducing the Cauchy expansion in even powers of the frequency for the linear-response function [2], The expansion coefficients, or Cauchy moments [3], are frequency independent and need to be calculated only once for a given property. The Cauchy expansion is valid only for the frequencies below the first pole of the linear-response function. 

The first term on the right-hand side of eqn. (11) decays away and, after a time approximately equal to 5t, the second term alone will remain. Note that this is a sine wave of the same frequency as the forcing function, but that its amplitude is reduced and its phase is shifted. This second term is called the frequency response of the system such responses are often characterised by observing how the amplitude ratio and phase lag between the input and output sine waves vary as a function of the input frequency, k. To recover the system RTD from frequency response data is more complex tnan with step or impulse tests, but nonetheless is possible. Gibilaro et al. [22] have described a short-cut route which enables low-order system moments to be determined from frequency response tests, these in turn approximately defining the system transfer function G(s) [see eqn. (A.5), Appendix 1]. From G(s), the RTD can be determined as in eqn. (8). 

H2-H2 rototranslational spectra. For the significant A1A2AL induction components, Table 4.11, values of the various spectral functions have been computed at frequencies from 0 to 1800 cm-1 and for temperatures from 40 to 300 K, Fig. 6.3 [282]. As a test of these line shape computations, the zeroth, first and second spectral moments have been computed in two independent ways by integration of the spectral functions with respect to frequency, Eq. 3.4, and also from the quantum sum formulae, Eqs. 6.13, 6.16, and 6.21. Agreement of the numerical results within 0.3% is observed for the 0223, 2023 components, and 1% for the other less important components. This agreement indicates that the line shape computations are as accurate as numerical tests with varying grid widths, etc., have indicated, namely about 1% see Table 6.2 as an example (p. 293). 

However, Eq. (2.21) is not very convenient in the context of intramolecular electrostatic interactions. In a protein, for instance, how can one derive the electrostatic interactions between spatially adjacent amide groups (which have large local electrical moments) In principle, one could attempt to define moment expansions for functional groups that recur with high frequency in molecules, but such an approach poses several difficulties. First, there is no good experimental way in which to measure (or even define) such local moments, making parameterization difficult at best. Furthermore, such an approach would be computationally quite intensive, as evaluation of the moment potentials is tedious. Finally, the convergence of Eq. (2.20) at short distances can be quite slow with respect to the point of truncation in the electrical moments. 

The first term, which contains the the static dielectric permittivities of the three media , 2, and 3, represents the Keesom plus the Debye energy. It plays an important role for forces in water since water molecules have a strong dipole moment. Usually, however, the second term dominates in Eq. (6.23). The dielectric permittivity is not a constant but it depends on the frequency of the electric field. The static dielectric permittivities are the values of this dielectric function at zero frequency. 1 iv), 2 iv), and 3(iv) are the dielectric permittivities at imaginary frequencies iv, and v = 2 KksT/h = 3.9 x 1013 Hz at 25°C. This corresponds to a wavelength of 760 nm, which is the optical regime of the spectrum. The energy is in the order of electronic states of the outer electrons.
