Figure 14 shows the results for Wp, the mode-dependent relaxation rate, for the different molecular masses as a function of the mode index p. For the smallest molecular mass Mw = 2000 g/mol relaxation rates Wp are obtained which are independent of p. This chain obviously follows the Rouse law. The modes relax at a rate proportional to p2 [Eq. (17)]. If the molecular weight is increased, the relaxation rates are successively reduced for the low-index modes in comparison to the Rouse relaxation, whereas the higher modes remain uninfluenced within experimental error. 

The sum over weighted relaxation times is heavily dominated by the longest time (the reptation time) r gp=L /7T Dp. Because of this the frequency-dependent dissipative modulus, G"(cd) is expected to show a sharp maximum The higher modes do modify the prediction from that of a single-mode Maxwell model, but only to the extent of reducing the form of G"(a>) to the right of the maximum from ccr to In fact, experiments on monodisperse linear polymers... 

Note that another origin of the slowing down of the chain relaxation compared to the Rouse prediction could be a reduction of the weights of the higher modes, which in the Rouse model are proportional top (see Eq. 3.19). 

For higher modes, the ratio xjxt becomes sensitive to the correlations. As p increases, tp/t, decreases, as shown by Eq. (38). For illustration, this ratio is plotted semilogarithmically in Figure 2 as a function of pjN for a chain with 104 beads and for P = 0, 0.2,0.5, and 0.9. It is seen that in this one-dimensional model the relaxation spectrum is broadened as the energetic preference for extended conformations (P > 0) is increased. In particular, the longest and shortest relaxation times are related by... 

The other solutions to Eq. (3.13) correspond to stationary points where the function is increased in some directions and reduced in others. For example, if we select a solution in the region X2 < p < X3 then the step is toward the gradient of the first two modes and opposite the gradient of all higher modes. The second-order change in the function may be written... 

By choosing a level shift in the range Xk < i < kk+i we take a step which initially at least increases the function along the k lowest modes and reduces it along all higher modes. Therefore, if at each step we select a level shift in this range we may eventually expect to enter the local region of the k th excited state. 

Using the same method as for the first excited electronic state, we select a level shift in the region Xi < p < X2. This procedure may indeed lead to a transition state but in this way we always increase the function along the lowest mode. However, if we wish to increase it along a higher mode this can only be accomplished in a somewhat unsatisfactory manner by coordinate scaling. Nevertheless, this method has been used by several authors with considerable success.14 The problem of several first-order saddle points does not arise in electronic structure calculations since there is only one first excited state.15... 

In the low-frequency limit only coii is set to be nonzero while all the higher modes are taken at equilibrium (cox = 0). Thence, when constructing via Eq. (4.182), by adding and subtracting a term with 4 (0), one can present the first-order solution in the form... 

The following three EOFs, each of which covers from 5.9 to 6.8% of the total dispersion, also feature a wave structure trapped by the coast (Fig. 9c). One may suggest that they represent overtones of the second EOF. The combined effect of the second and higher modes of the intra-annual variability of the main pycnocline was obtained by extracting the contribution of the annual mean salinity field and first EOF from the monthly salinity fields at a depth of 100 m. The results for the first 6 months of the year are shown in Fig. 10. 

In this study a switching of the E2 mode intensity at around x = 0.5 by some 50 cm 1 to a higher mode energy is observed. Such a two-mode behaviour in the mixed crystal of AlGaN differentiates a GaN-like E2 mode and an AlN-like E2 mode. In this study the other modes are found to behave as a direct interpolation of the modes in the binary compounds (one-mode behaviour). 

Hence, when i ing from the orientational mechanism of EB to tlK deformationai mechanism coefficient C in Eq, (84) decreases and continues to decrease with the introduction of higher modes of intramolecular motion. 

A theory for spinning detonation has been put forth by Fay (6). He shows that spin is a self-excited transverse vibratory motion in the burned gas, akin to a st inding sound wave, but with helical symmetry. The possible modes of vibration can be calculated from the properties of the gas. The fundamental mode always has a pitch equal to about three tube diameters higher modes have an apparent pitch smaller than this. Several different modes have been observed and good correlations are found with Fay s theory. 

Fig. 3. (a) Sensitivity test of the higher-mode waveforms to the depth to the base of the upper-mantle lid for the SLR seismogram of the 18 July 1986 earthquake (Fig. 1, event 2). The continuous line is the observed waveform, the dotted line is the synthetic for the southern Africa velocity model of Qiu et al. (1996), and the dashed line is the synthetic for the same velocity model but with the lid base increased to the depth indicated at the left of each seismogram, (b) Same as (a) but for the SLR seismogram of the 10 March 1989 earthquake (Fig. 1, event 5). (c) Same as (a) but for the SUR seismogram of the 24 July 1991 earthquake to the minimum S-wave velocity of the low-velocity zone (LVZ). 

The comparison at 2106 km distance (Fig. 3c) shows an acceptable match of the synthetic and observed waveforms with the base of the lid at 160 km depth. Thicker lids advance the arrival time of the wavepacket, but the waveform shape is not altered. At this distance range, the higher modes are equivalent to an S wave turning in the mantle transition zone. Increasing the lid thickness reduces the delay time caused by the lower shear-wave velocities beneath the lid, resulting in an advance in the arrival time but no change in the amplitude at this epicentral distance. 

These tests demonstrate the sensitivity of the higher-mode data to the upper-mantle structure. Figure 4a shows the displacement amplitude v. depth for the fundamental and first eight higher Rayleigh modes at 15 s period for the southern African model shown at the left in the figure. The fundamental mode at this period is sensitive to the velocity structure in the top c. 50 km of the model, whereas the higher modes are...
