Signal integrity Grounding

The VFe protein of A. vinelandii shows a weak, poorly resolved EPR signal with apparent g values of 5.8 and 5.4, which have been assigned to the low-field inflexion of the transition from the ground to the first excited state of the Kramer s doublets of an S = 3/2 spin system (39). The intensity of this signal integrates to 0.89 spin per V atom and it provided the first spectroscopic evidence for the presence of a V-con-...

Mossbauer spectroscopy of AvF clearly demonstrated the presence of P clusters (174). The EPR spectra of dithionite-reduced VFe proteins are complex, indicating the presence of several paramagnetic species. Avl exhibits broad EPR signals, with g values of 5.8 and 5.4 integrating to 0.9 spins per V atom, which have been assigned to transitions from the ground and first excited state of a spin S = system (175). EPR data for AcF are more complex, with g values at 5.6, 4.3, and 3.77 that appear to arise from a mixture of S = species (176). The signals were associated with a midpoint potential of... 

Dielectric constant is directly proportional to the capacitance of a material. Present computer operations are limited by the coupling capacitance between circuit paths and integrated circuits on multilayer boards since the computing speed between integrated circuits is reduced by this capacitance and the power required to operate is increased.11 If the dielectric constant is reduced a thinner dielectric provides equivalent capacitance, and the ground plane can be moved closer to the line, so that additional lines can be accommodated for the same cross-talk. Thus, the effect of a low dielectric constant will be to increase the speed ofthe signal and improve the density of the packaging, and this will result in improved system performance.2... 

As in paper [5], we start from a system Hamiltonian consisting of three (one ground g) and two nonadiabatically coupled excited (j) ) and 1 states strongly coupled to a reaction mode, which in turn is weakly coupled to a dissipative environment (see Fig. 1). The bath degrees of freedom are integrated out in the framework of Redfield theory, and the signals are calculated according to the explicit formulas derived in [6,7].
