The Institute for Historical Review has recently obtained from the U.S. National Archives a copy of a document dating from 1945 that provides new evidence that famed "Nazi hunter" Simon Wiesenthal collaborated with the Soviet Union during the Second World War.1 The author of the document, a "curriculum vitae" submitted to American military authorities at the former concentration camp at Mauthausen, in Upper Austria, is Wiesenthal himself. He claims in this autobiographical statement that he served the Soviet occupation regime in the east Galician city of Lwów (today Lviv) as an engineer and was well rewarded for his services to the Communist government. Wiesenthal's 1945 account offers strong corroboration of a sworn statement he made to U.S. authorities in 1948, first published in the Journal of Historical Review, that he had functioned as a "Soviet chief engineer" in Lwów during the 1939–41 Soviet occupation.2
Thus, in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, Wiesenthal twice contradicted what would later become his standard story of his time in Soviet-ruled Lwów: that he was forced to work as a poorly paid factory mechanic and narrowly escaped deportation to the interior of the USSR. The "curriculum vitae" and accompanying documents provided by Wiesenthal in 1945 contain additional statements that contradict important aspects of Wiesenthal's standard account of his war years. These records are of further interest in that they provide the first documentary evidence of Wiesenthal's career as a denouncer and tracker of alleged German war criminals.
On May 25, 1945, some three weeks after American forces had captured the camp, the recently liberated inmate Simon Wiesenthal submitted his "curriculum vitae" and a list of ninety-one men and women he alleged were guilty of war crimes to the "U.S. Camp Commander, Camp Mauthausen." In an accompanying cover letter, Wiesenthal, writing with the restraint that was to become his trademark, claimed: "Many of these have caused incalculable sufferings to myself as well as to my fellow inmates," and went on to state: "Many of these I have personally seen commit murder phantastic in number and method." The list of "war criminals" itself, and Wiesenthal's efforts to identify, characterize, and accuse them, will be considered briefly below. Because it is "Ing. Szymon Wiesenthal," as he signed these documents nearly fifty-seven years ago, who is under investigation here, his statements about himself rather than about his quarry are of chief interest.
Wiesenthal opens the "curriculum vitae" (actually closer in form to a short autobiography than a standard c.v.) that accompanied his other submissions with a brief and seemingly unremarkable paragraph about his origins and education. The next paragraph reads:
After the outbreak of the war I stayed in Lemberg and after the entry of the Red Army continued my work as a construction engineer and a designer of refrigerating plants and other various constructions as well as private dwellings. During this period I invented an artificial insulation material for which the Soviet Government awarded me a premium of 25,000 rubles.
These two sentences supply more concrete detail regarding Simon Wiesenthal's work, status, and relationship to the Soviet authorities during the twenty-one months the USSR occupied Lemberg (as Lviv is known in German) than any other statement or account by Wiesenthal that has appeared to date. As noted above, Wiesenthal's 1948 testimony to a U.S. Army interrogator lends corroboration to his 1945 statement and provides further details about his activities from September 1939 to mid-1941: "Active until 1939 in Poland as a professional engineer architect [sic], between 1939–1941 Soviet chief engineer employed in Lemberg and Odessa. 10 days prior to the outbreak of war between Germany and Russia I returned to Lemberg, where I experienced the German entry." Wiesenthal's express claim to have been a "Soviet [emphasis added] chief engineer" is telling in itself. If, as he states, he worked in Odessa, some three hundred miles away in Soviet Ukraine, then he enjoyed travel privileges afforded only a few inhabitants of the occupied lands of prewar eastern Poland. The only USSR destination for most citizens of Poland during the first Soviet occupation was the Gulag.
Simon Wiesenthal's 1967 "memoirs," The Murderers among Us, strongly contradict his claims of 1945 and 1948.3 Murderers has the following to say about his employment in Communist-ruled Lwów: "By the middle of September, the Red Army was in Lwow, and again Wiesenthal found himself 'liberated[.]'… The Wiesenthals managed to stay in Lwow, but Wiesenthal's days as an independent architect were over. He was glad to find a badly paid job as a mechanic in a factory that produced bedsprings."4
If what Wiesenthal said in his statements from 1945 and 1948 about his employment, status, and means under the Soviets is correct,5 then there are other questions to be answered on the full extent of his activities and affinities in Lwów from 1939 to 1941. Was he a member of the Communist party? Did he acquire Soviet citizenship? Did he take part in the persecution of the city's Polish and Ukrainian Christian majority? And why was Wiesenthal – apparently trusted by the Soviets, capable, and with vital skills – not evacuated with the Red Army, as were so many others, when it abandoned Lwów in mid-1941?
One of the most famous tales from the Wiesenthal canon describes his arrest and hair's breadth escape from execution at the hands of Ukrainian auxiliary police a few days after the arrival of the Wehrmacht. As recounted in The Murderers among Us,6 on the afternoon of July 6, 1941, a Sunday, Wiesenthal was arrested by a Ukrainian policeman and brought to Lwów's Brigidki prison. In Wiesenthal's telling, after about forty Jews had been collected in the prison courtyard, the Ukrainians lined them up and began shooting them, one by one. Wiesenthal relates that the killers feasted on sausages and swilled down vodka between murders. The memoirs relate: "The shots and the shouts of the dying men were getting closer to Wiesenthal. He remembers that he stood looking at the gray wall without really seeing it. Suddenly he heard the sounds of church bells, and a Ukrainian voice shouted 'Enough! Evening mass!'" That night, his account continues, Wiesenthal was rescued thanks to a chance encounter in his cell with a Polish acquaintance serving in the Ukrainian auxiliary police. The policeman devised an audacious plan: he would tell the other police that Wiesenthal was a Soviet spy, and that he had to bring him before a Ukrainian commissioner elsewhere in the city. Although Wiesenthal claims to have been badly beaten, the friendly policeman was able to lead him and another "spy" (a friend of Wiesenthal's) out of the prison, and – "after a series of narrow escapes" – both men were back home the next morning.
Wiesenthal's concededly laconic account in the 1945 curriculum vitae clearly contradicts the story told in his memoirs. He writes:
When after the outbreak of the German-Soviet war that city was taken by the German troops, I was immediately arrested on July 13, 1941, as one of the Jewish intelligentsia. Of independent means, through a bribery I succeeded in getting out of prison.
In this 1945 version, less than four years after the purported event, Wiesenthal's arrest comes a week later than in his memoirs. Here he attributes his release from prison to a bribe, rather than to a chance encounter and the implied altruism and sang-froid of a Polish friend. Although in this document and the 1948 interrogation Wiesenthal describes countless atrocities he claims to have suffered or witnessed, they mention no festive shootings by Ukrainian auxiliary police.
Wiesenthal's 1948 testimony strengthens the presumption against his miraculous escape from a Ukrainian massacre by omitting any mention of an incarceration in July 1941. Instead, he tells this story: "On 8 July I was forcibly removed from my residence by two soldiers and a Ukrainian auxiliary policeman – a group of about sixty Jews, who had been similarly dragged from their homes, was waiting on the street; we moved slowly down the street, because new Jews were continually brought from their homes. When there were around 100 or 120 of us, we were brought to the German army railroad yards, where the army engineers awaited us. We were forced to run the gauntlet and nearly every one of us received a kick or the lash of a whip." Wiesenthal goes on to state that he continued to work as a forced laborer at the railroad yards, returning home nights, for at least the following two weeks.
Jewish apologists understandably make much of various scurrilous stories, oftentimes quite untrue, that have been directed at the Jews over the centuries. In the light of Wiesenthal's testimony from 1945 and 1948, which contradicts as well as omits the dramatic account of his escape from the Ukrainian bloodbath, might the story in his memoirs be a carefully crafted "blood libel" against Ukrainians – and their church?
While the evidence of Wiesenthal's 1945 and 1948 statements points toward his having collaborated with the Communists during the war, Wiesenthal has more frequently been accused of collaborating with the Germans than with the Soviets.7 While published evidence of such collaboration remains scarce, interesting questions arise from his different accounts of certain wartime experiences – such as his strange and conflicting stories about his recapture and subsequent treatment by the Germans in 1944.
Wiesenthal is consistent in his claims to have escaped from German custody in Lwów in 1943.8
His accounts of how he spent his several months of freedom differ, however. While in his memoirs he claims merely to have hidden from the Germans, in his 1945 curriculum vitae Wiesenthal wrote that he had joined and fought in the ranks of "Jewish partisans." In the 1948 interrogation he testified that he had been a major with the partisans, specializing in designing bunkers and fortifications, and strongly implied that his group had Soviet backing.
He claims to have been recaptured in June 1944. In the 1945 curriculum vitae, he provides this version of what happened:
It was while I was fighting in the partisan ranks against the Nazis that we managed to collect and bury for safekeeping considerable amount [sic] of evidence and other materials proving the crimes committed by Nazis. When the partisans were dispersed by the Germans I fled to Lemberg on February 10, 1944, and again wnet [sic] into hiding. On June 13, 1944, I was found during a house to house search and was immediately sent to the famous Lacki camp, near that city. Since there was no escape for the partisans who were caught, I attempted suicide by cutting the veins on my arms but was saved.
The 1945 statement does not explain how, as a Jew and a partisan, he was "saved" while in the custody of the German security forces. Wiesenthal had an answer for that question in his 1948 interrogation, however. He testified: "On 13 June 1944 we were in this bunker [in Lwów – Ed.]…. A search for arms was carried out and we were discovered. We were in a position where we could not even make use of our own arms…." After being arrested, Wiesenthal states: "I immediately cut open my artery. We were taken to the Lonsky prison and they found some of my records. We had been waiting every day for a Soviet offensive, so we made certain records at this time concerning the whole partisan area where we were. These notes were in our possession, and I owe it specially to this circumstance that I was not killed right away as so many other Jews, for these records seemed to be very valuable and therefore [sic] I was taken into a prison hospital after my attempted suicide." Thus, according to Wiesenthal's 1948 account, he was not merely a Jew and a partisan, but an armed Jewish partisan. Inasmuch as the Red Army was driving toward the city at that time (the Germans abandoned Lwów a month later), it is difficult to understand how a partisan officer and specialist caught with partisan documents was, at the least, not speedily interrogated – rather than being allowed to recuperate in a hospital for over a month, as Wiesenthal states elsewhere in the 1948 interrogation.
As noted above, there is nothing about Wiesenthal's having been a partisan in his memoirs. Nonetheless, Murderers among Us states that he was captured with a pistol (for which surely he would have been dealt with as a partisan), and "a diary [he] had kept and a list of SS guards and their crimes that he'd compiled, believing that one day it might be useful."9 Although the memoirs report that the pistol was immediately stolen by one of the arresting officers for sale on the black market (if Wiesenthal correctly divined his purpose), in this account Wiesenthal is nonetheless caught with a sheaf of juicy allegations against individual German officers for eventual presentation to the Allies at some later day.
Once again, Wiesenthal is not only spared, but by his account never interrogated. He claims to have evaded torture by twice attempting suicide -- first by cutting his wrists, then by attempting to hang himself. After he has been hospitalized and fattened up on a fortifying diet, however, on July 15, 1944, the day appointed for his interrogation, the Germans seem to forget Wiesenthal's diary and list: the Red Army is drawing near, and Wiesenthal is sent westward with a contingent of Jewish prisoners.10
Whatever is to be made of the discrepancies and improbabilities touched on above, it is worth noting that in each of the above tellings one of the most prominent "survivors" of Hitler's alleged attempt to exterminate the Jews has acknowledged that he survived circumstances which, given an extermination policy, should have guaranteed his speedy death.11 And, given the various implausibilities in his several accounts, the suspicion arises that Wiesenthal was in fact interrogated, raising the question: if so, why has he chosen to deny it?
A venerable legal saw has it, "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus," meaning, more or less, "Once a liar, always a liar." The objection to that is that many people sometimes tell lies, yet that doesn't mean that they always lie, let alone that their speaking a truth makes it untrue. Clearly, the less stringent interpretation must govern the evaluation of personal testimony, including that of Simon Wiesenthal. Nonetheless, often enough Wiesenthal gives us pause.
In his 1945 c.v. Wiesenthal declares: "It was during this time that my life was several times placed in extreme danger, and that I lost both of my parents who were killed by the Nazis." In the accompanying cover letter, he writes: "With all of the members of my family and of my nearest relatives killed by the Nazis, I am asking of your kindness to place me at the disposal of the U.S. authorities investigating the war crimes."
Wiesenthal's memoirs, however, after noting that his father served in the Austrian army during the First World War, state unambiguously: "He was killed in action in 1915."12 Might Wiesenthal have been referring in his 1945 statement to his step-father, then? Not according to his memoirs: "Wiesenthal's stepfather was taken to a Soviet prison, where he soon died."13 Wiesenthal is silent on the fate of his parents in his sworn statement of 1948.
Studying Wiesenthal's false attribution of his father's death to the Germans in 1945 (doubtless to gain sympathy from the Americans) and the many other contradictions in his testimony tempts one to augment the categories of the legists with a new one: "falsus in pluribus."
The list of alleged war criminals Wiesenthal offered the American forces fills four pages, and is the first hard evidence of his Nazi-hunting activities. Deprived of the list he claims that he buried in the forest (or that perhaps the Gestapo had confiscated from him), Wiesenthal was forced to rely on his own prodigious memory, with consequences that will be noted below. There is no evidence that Wiesenthal testified in the trial of anyone designated on the roster, which as will be seen gives little hard data as to specific misdeeds of those listed, and few clues as to their whereabouts. Nonetheless, Wiesenthal's list serves to anticipate his career as a gifted publicist of atrocity allegations – and may provide hints about certain of his wartime doings.
In the brief heading that introduces the list of ninety-one names, Wiesenthal writes: "The following is a brief list of SS men and Gestapo agents as well as Nazi party members whom I had the opportunity of seeing to partake in murder and other crimes against human life." The list is divided into two groups, those whom Wiesenthal had encountered (or perhaps heard of) in "District Galicia (Lemberg)" and those in "Camp Cracow-Plashow" [sic].
Wiesenthal makes many accusations of mass murder (added up, the death toll he ascribes to his ninety-one Nazis comes to about 1,150,000), but gives details on very few of the crimes he alleges: in fact he names the date and place of a specific crime in only three instances. Thus, while Wiesenthal claims that someone he calls simply "Krieger, Maj. Gen. SS" (probably Obergruppenführer Friedrich-Wilhelm Krüger) "On Aug. 18, 1941 finished personally 13,000 people by shooting," and that four officers "Killed 7,000 on Nov. 18, 1943 in Lwów," usually he favors the diachronic perspective: "Killed 1,200 Jews in his shop, Lemberg" (of Georg Gross, "chief of the Lemberg railway shops"); "Killed 8,000 Jews in Tarnopol alone" (of "Rokita," said to be an Untersturmführer); "Greatest killer of all. His victims run into thousands" (of "Amond [sic] Goeth," commander of the Plaszow camp near Cracow); "Responsible for several thousands of deaths" (of someone designated simply as "Hasse"); or "Ditto" (of "Kipko, Untersturmführer" who follows "Hasse" on the list).
Despite its lack of precise information on specific misdeeds, Wiesenthal's list abounds in concrete characterizations of those he accuses. His only accusation against one "Scherner" (perhaps Julian Scherner, who served as SS- und Polizeiführer of the Cracow district) is "Killed sick in the hospital," while "Hujar Untersturmführer" is described as "Winner of numerous wagers by sending one bullet through two heads at a time" and "Lied," said to be an Unterscharführer, is called a "Degenrat [sic] collector of his victims' skulls." In some cases Wiesenthal takes care to specify exact methods, a few of which sound like categories in a hellish Holocaust Oscar night: "Worst sadist and killer using ax only," others of which sound simply foolish: "The last two specialized in hanging and chopping men alive." There are many lesser or vaguer accusations ("Camp's recorder. Many cruelties"; "Introduced keenest sadism"; "'Worked' in Bohemia"), while about twenty persons on the list are not accused of committing any crime. The list shows glimmerings of its author's knack for devising colorful nicknames for the headlines, but Wiesenthal was as yet short of mastery, e.g. of one "Engels, Gestapokommissar": "Timekeeper and schedule maker for mass killing throughout Galicia."
Although the implication of the heading is that Wiesenthal witnessed many of the misdeeds of those he lists ("whom I had the opportunity of seeing to partake in murder and other crimes against human life"), he is explicit about witnessing only one crime, the alleged shooting of thirteen men with American passports "on [sic] August, 1944."
Seemingly deficient as hard evidence of criminal acts, the Wiesenthal list would also seem not to have been very helpful in locating the 91 persons it enumerates. Although Wiesenthal provides rank or (sometimes general) office for some 70 of those listed, he is able to supply the first names (and in one instance simply an initial) of a mere 18 of them. Forty-two of the alleged war criminals are identified by their hometowns or places of origin, but nearly all these refer simply to cities (while 2 are said to be from "Holland," and 3 from the Batschka region, at that time occupied by Hungary). Only 5 listings mention streets, and of those just 2 give specific addresses. And Wiesenthal is able to identify the civilian occupations of only 12 of the 91 listed, and those of an additional 3 of their relatives.
It is beyond the scope of this article to attempt properly to identify the 91 persons on Wiesenthal's list, let alone whether they committed the crimes alleged by Wiesenthal, or what became of those of them who actually existed. An analysis of Wiesenthal's list yields data of possible significance in reconstructing certain of its author's wartime associations, however. Wiesenthal identifies 13 of those listed as "Gestapo agent[s]," 8 of whom he places in Lemberg/Galicia, the other 5 in Cracow/Plaszow. For the remaining 78 persons listed he is able to provide 10 first names and 1 first initial (14.1 percent); 34 places of origin (43.6 percent); and 10 civilian occupations, including two of family members (12.8 percent). For his 13 alleged Gestapo agents, however, Wiesenthal gives 7 first names (53.8 percent); 9 places of origin (69.2 percent); and 5 civilian occupations, including that of one in-law (38.5 percent). Wiesenthal's assignment of a military or police rank to only one of the 13 designated as Gestapo agents (in contrast to the other 78, for 54 of whom, among them Gestapo officers, he lists military or police ranks) strengthens the implication of the term "agent" that these were undercover operatives, whether military or civilian. That Wiesenthal is able to provide so many more particulars for such shadowy figures than he can for the more readily recognizable officers and NCOs he names would seem to add weight to the suspicion that Wiesenthal was himself an agent of the Gestapo.
As is well known, Simon Wiesenthal has been the object of something approaching a cult since the 1960s. His skillful packaging of vengeance disguised as justice and his (often invented) adventures on the trail of euphoniously nicknamed Nazi supercriminals have made him a hero throughout the Western world. While he has had his detractors, including Israeli diplomats and intelligence operatives, Austrian chancellor Bruno Kreisky, and the Institute for Historical Review, their voices have been all but drowned out by a tidal wave of media acclaim.14 Within the Holocaust industry, a sizable Wiesenthal industry has long flourished: there are dozens of books by and about Wiesenthal, he has been depicted in numerous films, both documentary and fictional; and the Los Angeles foundation that pays for the use of his name has raked in tens of millions of dollars in contributions and government grants.
Nonetheless, there is compelling evidence that at least one of Wiesenthal's recent biographers had access to the documents that Wiesenthal composed in 1945. In Simon Wiesenthal: A Life in Search of Justice, Hella Pick discloses that Wiesenthal submitted a list of ninety-one names, dated May 25, 1945, to U.S. Army authorities at Mauthausen. Pick quotes virtually the entire text of Wiesenthal's covering letter – with the notable exception of its last sentence: "To furnish you with the personal data regarding my person, a brief curriculum vitae is attached." In fact, while the author cites most of the heading, or introduction, to Wiesenthal's list, and quotes freely and accurately from various of its accusations, she makes no mention whatsoever of the curriculum vitae, which follows the cover letter and precedes the list of war criminals in the Cracow war crimes case file in which the 1945 documents are contained.15 Nor does the author refer to this document in any of the corresponding passages of her account of Wiesenthal's life under the Soviets, or during the rest of the war.16
While Hella Pick and other biographers may have suppressed the evidence of Wiesenthal's wartime collaboration and general duplicity revealed in the 1945 letter, list, and c.v., that is surely less important than the massive gullibility exhibited by Wiesenthal's vast audience of admirers throughout his long career. If Pick is audacious enough to quote, approvingly, Wiesenthal's claim that "My memory in those days was excellent" immediately after her account of his 1945 statements,17 doesn't such calculation accurately mirror the credulity, apathy, and sloth of the wider public? For nearly forty years now his unending "hunt" for one category of alleged criminal and his defiance of due process and historical accuracy have brought Wiesenthal the highest national honors that governments can bestow as well as the uncritical adulation of multitudes.
Wiesenthal's long life is reportedly nearing its end, leaving little hope for a thorough investigation and exposure of his actual past before his death. That should by no means preclude such an inquiry by a competent group of researchers in the years to come. Punching through the lacquered facade of the Wiesenthal myth to reveal the rot behind it would uncover at least some of the decay at work throughout Western society, past and present. And, even after Wiesenthal is gone, establishing his actual behavior during the war would likely bring the Nazi hunter's reputation down a rung or two, for facts are the nemesis of "memory."

9. Formalism for program alm¶
9.1. Interatomic force constants (IFCs)¶
The starting point of the computational methodology is to approximate the potential energy of interacting atoms by a Taylor expansion with respect to atomic displacements by
Here, \(u_{\mu}(\ell\kappa)\) is the atomic displacement of \(\kappa\)th atom in the \(\ell\)th unit cell along \(\mu\)th direction, and \(\Phi_{\mu_{1}\dots\mu_{n}}(\ell_{1}\kappa_{1};\dots;\ell_{n}\kappa_{n})\) is the \(n\)th-order interatomic force constant (IFC).
9.2. Symmetry relationship between IFCs¶
The are several relationships between IFCs which may be used to reduce the number of independence IFCs.
- Permutation
Firstly, IFCs should be invariant under the exchange of triplet \((\ell,\kappa,\mu)\), e.g.\[\Phi_{\mu_{1}\mu_{2}\mu_{3}}(\ell_{1}\kappa_{1};\ell_{2}\kappa_{2};\ell_{3}\kappa_{3})=\Phi_{\mu_{1}\mu_{3}\mu_{2}}(\ell_{1}\kappa_{1};\ell_{3}\kappa_{3};\ell_{2}\kappa_{2})=\dots.\]
- Periodicity
Secondly, since IFCs should depend on interatomic distances, they are invariant under a translation in units of lattice vector, namely\[\Phi_{\mu_{1}\mu_{2}\dots\mu_{n}}(\ell_{1}\kappa_{1};\ell_{2}\kappa_{2};\dots;\ell_{n}\kappa_{n})=\Phi_{\mu_{1}\mu_{2}\dots\mu_{n}}(0\kappa_{1};\ell_{2}-\ell_{1}\kappa_{2};\dots;\ell_{n}-\ell_{1}\kappa_{n}).\]
- Crystal symmetry
A crystal symmetry operation maps an atom \(\vec{r}(\ell\kappa)\) to another equivalent atom \(\vec{r}(LK)\) by rotation and translation. Since the potential energy is invariant under any crystal symmetry operations, IFCs should transform under a symmetry operation as follows:(2)¶\[\sum_{\nu_{1},\dots,\nu_{n}}\Phi_{\nu_{1}\dots\nu_{n}}(L_{1}K_{1};\dots;L_{n}K_{n}) O_{\nu_{1}\mu_{1}}\cdots O_{\nu_{n}\mu_{n}} = \Phi_{\mu_{1}\dots\mu_{n}}(\ell_{1}\kappa_{1};\dots;\ell_{n}\kappa_{n}),\]
where \(O\) is the rotational matrix of the symmetry operation. Let \(N_{s}\) be the number of symmetry operations, there are \(N_{s}\) relationships between IFCs which may be used to find independent IFCs.
In the current implementation of alm, independent IFCs are searched in Cartesian coordinate where the matrix element \(O_{\mu\nu}\) is 0 or \(\pm1\) in all symmetry operations except for those of hexagonal (trigonal) lattice. Also, except for hexagonal (trigonal) systems, the product \(O_{\nu_{1}\mu_{1}}\cdots O_{\nu_{n}\mu_{n}}\) in the left hand side of equation (2) becomes non-zero only for a specific pair of \(\{\nu\}\) (and becomes 0 for all other \(\{\nu\}\)s). Therefore, let \(\{\nu^{\prime}\}\) be such a pair of \(\{\nu\}\), the equation (2) can be reduced to(3)¶\[\Phi_{\nu_{1}^{\prime}\dots\nu_{n}^{\prime}}(L_{1}K_{1};\dots;L_{n}K_{n}) = s \Phi_{\mu_{1}\dots\mu_{n}}(\ell_{1}\kappa_{1};\dots;\ell_{n}\kappa_{n}),\]
where \(s=\pm1\). The code employs equation (3) instead of equation (2) to reduce the number of IFCs. If IFCs of the left-hand side and the right-hand side of equation (3) are equivalent and the coupling coefficient is \(s=-1\), the IFC is removed since it becomes zero. For hexagonal (trigonal) systems, there can be symmetry operations where multiple terms in the left-hand side of equation (2) become non-zero. For such cases, equation (2) is not used to reduce the number of IFCs. Alternatively, the corresponding symmetry relationships are imposed as constraints between IFCs in solving fitting problems.
9.3. Constraints between IFCs¶
Since the potential energy is invariant under rigid translation and rotation, it may be necessary for IFCs to satisfy corresponding constraints.
The constraints for translational invariance are given by
which should be satisfied for arbitrary pairs of \(\ell_{2}\kappa_{2},\dots,\ell_{n}\kappa_{n}\) and \(\mu_{1},\dots,\mu_{n}\). The code alm imposes equation (4) by default (
The constraints for rotational invariance are
which must be satisfied for arbitrary pairs of \((\ell_{1}\kappa_{1},\dots,\ell_{n}\kappa_{n};\mu_{1},\dots,\mu_{n};\mu,\nu)\). This is complicated since \((n+1)\)th-order IFCs (first line) are related to \(n\)th-order IFCs (second line).
For example, the constraints for rotational invariance related to harmonic terms can be found as
NORDER = 1, equation (5) will be considered if
ICONST = 2, whereas equation (6) will be neglected. To further consider equation (6), please use
ICONST = 3, though it may enforce a number of harmonic IFCs to be zero since cubic terms don't exist in harmonic calculations (
9.4. Estimate IFCs by least-square fitting¶
The code alm extracts harmonic and anharmonic IFCs from a displacement-force data set by solving the following linear least-square problem:
Here, \(m\) is the number of atomic configurations and the index \(i = (\ell,\kappa,\mu)\) is the triplet of coordinates. The model force \(F_{i,t}^{\mathrm{ALM}}\) is a linear function of IFCs \(\{\Phi\}\) which can be obtained by differentiating \(U\) (Eq. (1)) by \(u_{i}\). The parameters (IFCs) are determined so as to best mimic the atomic forces obtained by DFT calculations, \(F_{i,t}^{\mathrm{DFT}}\).
To evaluate goodness of fit, alm reports the relative error \(\sigma\) defined by

Last Monday, during the shower, we noticed a flash of lightening which was closely followed by a thunderous report, sharp and quick.-This flash entered the house of Samuel Citizen through the open door, knocking Mrs. C., down and doing about as it pleased generally; then crossed over to the house occupied by Mr. Lew. Town, where it struck the lightning rod melting it and going off in a hurry into the ground tearing up the earth around for two or three feet; coming out again some distance beyond it struck the corner of the house tearing off a board and leaving for parts unknown.-It is hardly necessary to add that somebody was scared. This is almost as bad as being fired at with a blank cartridge.

London: Britain can sustain its mission in Libya for as long as it chooses, the head of the armed forces said Tuesday, after the navy chief warned of tough choices if the campaign lasts more than six months.
General David Richards, the Chief of the Defence Staff, suggested that reported comments on Monday by Admiral Mark Stanhope, the head of the Royal Navy, had been misunderstood.
"He was actually answering a different question that`s been misconstrued, but we can sustain this operation as long as we choose to, absolutely clear on that," Richards told the BBC.
The earlier comments by Stanhope, the First Sea Lord, had called into question recent defence cuts including the scrapping of Britain`s flagship aircraft carrier, Ark Royal, and fleet of Harrier jump jets.
"How long can we go on as we are in Libya?" Stanhope asked at a media briefing.
"Certainly in terms of NATO`s current time limit that has been extended to 90 days, we are comfortable with that. Beyond that, we might have to request the government to make some challenging decisions about priorities."
Britain has been one of the chief players in the NATO military alliance implementing a United Nations mandate to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians in Libya as leader Moamer Kadhafi attempts to crush a rebel uprising.
"If we do it longer than six months we will have to reprioritise forces. That is being addressed now," Stanhope said. "It could be from around home waters. I will not prejudge what that decision will be."
In similar comments, one of NATO`s top commanders, French General Stephane Abrial, said on Tuesday that the alliance has sufficient means for the Libya campaign but the issue of resources "will become critical" if the conflict drags on.
Ark Royal, Britain`s biggest active warship, was axed as part of an eight-percent cut to the defence budget introduced by Prime Minister David Cameron`s coalition government, which is trying to bring Britain`s record deficit under control.
The vessel returned to base for the last time in December, leaving Britain without an aircraft carrier capable of launching jets for the next decade.
Separately the commander of the British naval task force that recaptured the Falkland Islands exactly 29 years ago warned Tuesday that the cuts meant Britain would struggle to defend the archipelago from another Argentine attack.
"As things currently stand, we`d have serious trouble defending anything much further than the other side of the English Channel," Admiral Sandy Woodward wrote in an article in the Daily Mail newspaper.

Mohs Surgery
Skin cancer is fast becoming one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide. Owing to this, the treatment methods for skin cancer have also grown and improved with the advancements in medical and surgical technology.
Mohs surgery is one of the most efficient and effective forms of skin cancer treatment. It requires removal of the affected skin layers and retaining the healthy skin layer as well as the surrounding non-cancerous skin. This surgery is also called as Mohs micrographic surgery.
The main aim of the Mohs surgery is to remove maximum amount of the cancer-affected skin while retaining the surrounding healthy skin with minimal to no damage to it. This is more modern, and improved, form of the traditional local excision surgery that required completely removing the affected skin as well as some of the surrounding healthy skin in order to prevent the chances of the cancer recurring.
Why is Mohs Surgery needed?
Mohs surgery is the most effective method of treatment for various forms of skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and melanomas too.
This surgery is needed when the skin cancer:
- Is at a high risk of recurring
- Is located in vital areas such as hands, feet, face, genitals, etc
- Is hard to define in terms of its spread
- Is large and aggressive in nature
Possible risks associated with Mohs Surgery
As in seen in any form of surgery there are certain risks that occur in rare cases, such as:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Hematoma
- Pain around incision site
You may also experience certain complications after Mohs surgery, such as:
- Temporary tenderness/numbness around surgical site
- Temporary weakness around surgical area
- Itching
- Severe bouts of pain in the affected area
- Enlarged keloid scar
Advantages of Mohs Surgery
The main advantage of the Mohs surgery is the almost immediate result that you can see right after the surgery.
The oncologist/doctor will schedule regular check-up visits for you in the weeks following the Mohs surgery in order to ensure that the cancer has been treated completely and there are no chances of it recurring.

People-Pleasing Pastors
Avoiding the pitfalls of spproval-motivated leadership
You can't please everyone.
Have you ever:
- Tried to avoid an argument by changing the topic?
- Said yes to a request when you should have said no?
- Appointed an unqualified person for a role because a powerful board member insisted on it?
If you answered yes to any of these, you might be a people pleaser.
Pastors and church leaders often fall into the trap of people-pleasing. Sometimes it seems like the sacrificial, godly thing to do. But all too often people pleasing derails us and actually hurts our ministry.
Charles Stone's research on thousands of pastors and ministry leaders demonstrates the dangers of approval-motivated leadership. Bringing together biblical insights and neuroscience findings, Stone shows why we fall into people-pleasing patterns and what we can do to overcome these tendencies. With practical tools for individuals and teams, Stone offers concrete resources to help you and your leadership minimize people-pleasing and have more effective ministry.

Unbelievably helpful and friendly! !!
Mr. Berken and his team were tremendously supportive in a time when I was struggling with a very stressful time in my life. They explained multiple options to me and guided me through a situation I truly knew nothing about. I initially felt like I was the only person who was experiencing my particular hardship but within short order, I realized they knew how I felt and assured me that I was not alone. They supported me through the entire process both from the legal aspect to the emotional stress. I cannot thank them enough for taking my calls, answering questions and reassuring me in times of uncertainty. I have and will continue to recommend them to any and everyone. My process is still not complete but I'm aware of the dedication and professionalism that they afforded me so I feel a tremendous weight having been lifted! If you are having difficulties with any form of legal issues I'm confident they can help or direct you to an equally professional practice to help and support you. Again, I cannot thank them enough for guiding me through a difficult time in my life. Bravo to Stephen and all his staff.

I needed help with the process of my mortgage modification. after 18 attempts at it, I had to make a choice to give up my house or try and find a way to continue fighting. Stephen helped me with a CH 13. I didn't know I could stop the mortgage company from threatening me. His whole team was so nice and friendly it was a breathe of fresh air after dealing with my mortgage company. The process isn't over, I am making payments and everything has gotten back to normal. I am so grateful to Stephen Berken and his team of experts.

Gave hope to single mom again!
Mr. Berken and Mr. Cloyes were instrumental in assisting me through a very rough time. They helped me get out from under my ex's debt, retain my house, and start over financially as the sole caretaker and provider for my family. I can't thank them enough for all of the hard work they put into my highly unusual case and the outcome has been remarkable! Thank you so much!

Excellent and knowledgeable Firm
Steve Berken is a caring, passionate, knowledgeable and excellent attorney to have represent me in my bankruptcy case. I have a complicated case and he let me know what all of my options were. He is definitely someone you want on your side to help you through. I highly recommend him-- he has made a positive difference in my life.

Simply put, Stephen is the best there is...
No one ever wants to file for Bankruptcy but if you have to you want the best, right? I have worked with Stephen on several occasions for different issues. He and his staff have always been extremely knowledgeable and always made the right decisions and gave excellent advise! Stephen has a passion for his trade that I rarely see these days. It shows in his results. Go ask any clerk at the courthouse who is the Bk attorney I want to hire and you will here Stephens name. BTW, that is how I found him 20 years ago. My bankruptcy was very complex. We filed a 13 and he managed to protect my home, an income property and my personal assets. Presently, I am 3 years into a 5 year plan. An accident took the use of mt left eye - devastating for a remodeling contractor. When Stephen heard about it he recommended filing a hardship discharge for the last two years of payments and he won't ask for additional money to do it. When was the last time anyone said "this attorney has a heart"?? You can hire someone for less but you will get what you pay for...

We headed back to Steve's Fine Wine & Food for the 3rd gathering of our Wine Century group on the 22nd of May 2013. Follow these links to see what we tried on our first and second meet.
2011 Giró Ribot Muscat de Frontignac. Penedés, Spain. 13%. RRP $20
Muscat de Frontignac Grape
Very Spanish. Almonds, powder. Very good length. Gorgeous mouthfeel. Lemon peel. Love this. Chalky. Quince. Bitter sweet wine. Personality ++
2011 Sepp Moser Gruner Veltliner von den Terrassen. Kremstal, Austria. 12.5% RRP $26
Gruner Veltliner grape
Spicy Apples. Touch thin. Grows on palate. Aromas of wet wool. Ginger peel. Touch prickly on palate. Refreshing. Perhaps a touch flat? An okay wine.
2010 Phinca Durmiente Rufete Blanco. Hormilla, Spain. 13% RRP $55
Rufete Blanco grape
Very yellow hay to look at. Sherry like lemon peel and juice. Bit honeyed. Lees and cream. Orange peel. Juicy palate and a big mouthful of flavour. Tried this a year ago and loved it. It has aged very quickly and I was very surprised at how fast it has evolved. Not sure about this wine anymore.
2012 Michael Hall Roussanne. Barossa Valley. 13.5%. RRP $43
Roussanne grape
Oily and fat palate. Has good acid to drive through on the palate. Very good. Vanilla oak. Touch sweet. Best Roussane I have ever tried. Not bitter or blousy like some others I have tried. Flinty. Still a touch awkward. Give this a few more months and I reckon it will be singing.
2010 Phinca Encanto Rufete. Hormilla, Spain. 13% RRP $55
Rufete grape
Quite Pinot like, mixed with Sangiovese. Very sour cherries. No tannins. Bracing acids. Like it's white cousin, this is aging way too quickly from a year ago.
2010 Castel Firmian Lagrein. Trentino DOC, Italy. 13% RRP $26
Lagrein grape
Seemed a touch contrived. Chewy lipstick, mush, boot polish and some bitter herbs. Disjointed and flabby.
2010 Castel Firmian Marzemino. Trentino DOC, Italy. 13% RRP $26
Marzemino grape
Better than the Lagrein. Sweeter chinotto notes. Still stuggling a bit.
2010 Zuccolo Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. Friuli, Italy. 12.5% RRP $25
Refosco grape
Chinotto, cola. Sweetish. Chewy oregano. Very cleansing acids. Immediately associate this with being a Pizza wine.
2009 Agricola Querciabella. Chianti Classico DOCG, Italy. 13.5% RRP $52.
Sangiovese grape
Ahh, a much better wine. Back on track. Beautiful wine. Grippy tannins. Nice herbs. Good structure and will be an excellent food wine.
2004 Salvatore Molettieri Vigna Cinque Quercie Riserva. Taurasi DOCG, Campania, Italy. 14% RRP $80.
Aglianico grape
First bottle was corked. Luckily a spare bottle was on hand. Sweet fruits with porcini mushroom notes. Ground coffee and a lick of aniseed. Excellent.
2008 Chalmers Sagrantino. Heathcote. 14.5% RRP $32
Sagrantino grape
A wall of mouth drying tannin. Good core of sweet fruit. Has potential to be very good. Don't try drinking this without any food though.
Starting to work our way through these varietals. We are now up to 31 varieties.
Already starting to plan our next tasting, which will have a very strong Italian focus and hoping to cover some Greek varieties as well.
Summary of our progress can be seen here

– Jenny, Cornwall, UK
Teacher: Paivi Eerola
I am a full-time artist with degrees in industrial design and software engineering. I created the course "Inspirational Drawing" for us who feel that life is not just about consuming. Watching beautiful images can never bring the same joy than drawing and painting your own. Artists process ideas through creating. That's why I want you to go further than just trying to replicate the first image that you have in mind.
Paivi is a very inspirational, creative & supportive teacher. Her methods are very expressive and freeing.
– Diane Woolf, Canada
Paivi's attitude, words of wisdom, and assignments have helped me to begin to loosen up in my work. This course is also helping me to see art, beauty, and creativity everywhere and not just in museums and galleries. I loved Paivi's "pep talks" on each video. You always knew where we might be stuck and why and I always felt like you were talking right to me!

We were very kindly sent a lovely Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom Puzzle Tin to review from Entertainment One.
To be honest, I'm not sure who loves Ben and Holly the most – me or my girls! But it's safe to say that it is a huge favourite with us.
It's a 35 piece puzzle that comes in a really lovely tin which is obviously perfect for keeping all of the pieces together at the end of play but it looks fab on the nursery shelf too. The jigsaw features Ben and Holly having fun in the kitchen with King and Queen Thistle, Daisy, Poppy and Nanny Plum (my favourite!) using their magic as only fairies can do to prepare dinner.
My girls absolutely loved this puzzle and my five year old who is a bit of a jigsaw professional took great pleasure in helping her three year old sister out of course. The pieces are really nice and chunky for little fingers though and this would be great for pre-schoolers. Priced at just £6.99 too I do think that this makes for great value and would be a fabulous little stocking filler. The girls loved this puzzle tin and have gone back to play with it time and time again so it gets a huge thumbs up from us.
Those fairies and elves are clever little things and have their very own website right here and are even over on Facebook. Do flutter by and say hello 🙂Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom products are available at all good retailers.

Increase Serotonin Levels Naturally
100 mg of Pure 5-HTP for Positive Mood, Anxiety Relief and Good Sleep
Low serotonin levels have been correlated with depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, migraines/headaches and obesity. Preliminary research suggests that you can increase serotonin levels in the brain by taking supplementary 5-HTP.1
The body makes 5-HTP from tryptophan, an essential amino acid found naturally in foods such as turkey, eggs and a variety of nuts, seeds and legumes. 5-HTP, in turn, converts directly into serotonin, which is a brain chemical that helps regulate mood, sleep, anxiety, appetite and pain.
Nested Naturals 5-HTP gives the brain what it needs to produce more serotonin naturally. It doesn't rewire brain circuitry like some prescription drugs do; it feeds the brain. Derived from a plant native to West and Central Africa, it's natural and non-habit forming.
This is pure 5-HTP, with no additional nutrients. Check out our Mood Lift formula for a blend of 5-HTP plus additional mood supporting vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Important: If you are currently taking prescription antidepressants, please consult with your physician before taking 5HTP. The combination could cause serious side-effects.

A God of War game being given a once over for current-gen systems was a foregone conclusion once the remaster trend hit its stride, though the final chapter being the only one making the jump to PS4 instead of the entire trilogy is a strange decision. Players—the ones who skipped the PS3 version, and the ones Sony mostly reaches out to with their re-releases—will be left in the dust trying to catch up with 20 hours of history from the original God of War and its first sequel. Veterans will find no new surprises here. Even as a graphical showcase, the game's current-gen benefits are few. There are certainly new textures at play, and the uptick in resolution is very much noticeable and welcome, but it's not the night-and-day difference we've seen from The Last of Us or Tomb Raider and their remastered editions.
God of War III's remaster ultimately ends up being a testament to just how massive an achievement it was on PS3, and just how ahead of the curve the series has been in the 10 years since the original game. Many games have copied its play style: two main attack buttons, allowing the player to lash out at enemies from half the screen away. Those simple attacks can be chained into wild, crowd-controlling combos. Finishing the job likely involves a Quick Time Event, allowing players to brutally annihilate enemies of all shapes and sizes. Only a scant few have been able to approach God of War on its ambitions of scale and frightening innovation in bloody savagery, but God of War III represents the pinnacle of both. This is a game that has Kratos commanding an army of skyscraper-sized Titans to scale Mount Olympus with half the Greek pantheon fighting them off in the first five minutes, and ends with a bloody knock-down-drag-out super brawl with almighty Zeus.
The fascinating thing about God of War III is that the game never goes as big as the Titan assault on Olympus as Kratos slaughters his way to the climax, but instead stretches its tone and timbre to far stranger, abstract places nothing in the franchise has ever suggested. It takes its predecessors' violent catharsis as far as it can go, for sure, with both Poseidon and Helios in particular meeting interminably gruesome, protracted ends that utterly shame most of what passes for horror in the 21st century. But instead of letting the player grow numb to the violence, the game starts leaning into the idea that Kratos's roaring rampage of revenge will have a higher cost than just the unholy trail of viscera left behind in his wake. The gods themselves are written as petty, paranoid things, all dealing with their works being laid waste by Kratos in their own particular, very human ways. Some, like Hera (voiced by a venomously bitter Adrienne Barbeau), simply curse his very existence from the sidelines. Some, like Hephaestus (a heartbreaking Rip Torn), simply await the end with a sullen resignation. Most just look for a new way to rage against the dying of Olympus's light.
But ultimately, each new herculean task—one of which, coincidentally, involves killing Hercules—starts to steer Kratos away from a path of straight revenge and toward a path of nihilism. There's nothing waiting for Kratos when he's done with Zeus, and he slowly realizes this as the game goes on. This isn't a case of a superhuman thinking "nothing can stand in my way," but "nothing in my way matters." The game takes its sweet time away from its puzzle solving and creature-killing often to toy with the idea of where Kratos's actions are leading, tiny moments of self-loathing and introspection without betraying the cathartic anger that pushes players forward. Of all the gods and monsters one meets in this game, Kratos is actually the most inhuman.
It's a turn of events that makes God of War III a vastly more intriguing experience than if the climax had been yet another massive Greek kaiju fight, one that places a lot of trust on players to follow them from bloodthirsty joy to cold contemplation. That by itself might be as strong a reason as any to revisit God of War III. It's not the polishing of the old that makes it worthy of the current gen, it's just how far the game is willing to present a twist on mythology that, for a AAA action game, still feels entirely new.

This is an excellent musical play which tells the story of the comedian Max Miller who was renowned in the 1940s and 50s as BritainâĆÖs highest paid variety artist.
The plot unfolds with a background chorus in stripy blazers and boaters; the songs resonate all evening and bring to life this time of simple technology when live theatre and wireless was the first and only choice for variety shows.
The poignant story of the rise to fame (ŌĆśGive me the MoonlightŌĆś) of the impoverished Harry Sargeant who has a natural ŌĆścheeky ' sense of humour. He meets and marries Kathleen Marsh, (Jo Price) changes his name to Max Miller and makes the big time in an era of war and austerity. (ŌĆśBluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover')
Max Miller is brought to life brilliantly by Jamie Kenna, who portrays the complexities of his character with flair and sensitivity. (ŌĆśHappy Days are here again') Although a hit comedian on stage his personal life was thwarted and deeply sad. Max's wife of over forty years (ŌĆśIf you were the only girl in the World') takes on the role of administrator /mother while a loyal loving woman friend, Ann Graham (Sioned Jones) (ŌĆśWhen you're smiling the whole world smiles with youŌĆś) who wants to give and receive love is destined to be his supporter and confidante for over twenty years. (ŌĆśI love you just the way you look tonight')
The cast is a perfect ensemble. The costumes are authentic 40s/50s with women in stylish hats and gloves against a simple and effective set . The music, with Philip Shute on piano, and Dave Brown on double- bass is enough to change any mood of fatigue to one of life and cheer. The appreciation of the audience was much in evidence.
An impressive mix of light and serious. Go and see this production while we're lucky enough to have it with us.

Working to fix a major weakness in California's beleaguered prison system, state officials are creating a new agency to oversee a Department of Corrections internal affairs unit described by a federal court monitor as "almost totally ineffective."
The independent oversight authority would provide lawmakers and the public with a window into the internal investigation unit while it is handling cases against any of the 50,000 prison employees in the 33-prison, 160,000-inmate system. Officials within the new unit would help shape the probes, make suggestions about how they should proceed and post their findings on a Web site.
Legislative critics of the prison system said they welcome the oversight office as a critical step toward establishing credibility in the internal affairs process, reports the Sacramento Bee.
The new authority would oversee the Office of Investigative Services, the internal affairs unit that came under heavy criticism in a Jan. 15 special master's report filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

When sacred narratives from home go abroad
"Reception of the Ramayana in Diaspora" symposium on Oct. 10 hosted by India Studies Program
A political conspiracy forces a prince, his wife, and his brother into exile from their royal palace and sparks a harrowing chain of events for the trio as they attempt to defeat their enemies, save the prince's wife from abduction, and reclaim their rightful positions in their kingdom.
This is the premise of the Ramayana, one of the great epic poems of ancient India that was composed in Sanskrit in the early centuries of the common era.
The Ramayana also is the subject of an Oct. 10 symposium hosted by the India Studies Program in the Comparative Cultural Studies Department and sponsored by the Shri Sita Ram Foundation, USA, a philanthropic nonprofit that promotes Vedic culture.
"Our symposium arose from a conversation with donors to the India Studies program, Vinni and Arun Verma, and their interest in keeping Indian traditions alive here in Houston," said Dr. Jon Keune, the Sushila and Durga Agrawal Postdoctoral Fellow in India Studies. Dr. Verma is president of the Shri Sita Ram Foundation, USA.
"This symposium will explore the cultural, linguistic, and religious negotiations involved in how the Ramayana is understood among Indian (especially Hindu) communities outside India," he said.
Over the centuries, the Ramayana has been tremendously popular and influential across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and it is a major source of cultural and religious heritage. The epic has a complex history over the centuries, leading to slightly different versions of the story becoming popular in different regions of India.
The same principle of audience reception shaping a story to fit the cultural milieu of those reading or hearing the tale is at work in the retelling of myths, legends, epics, fairy tales, and other oral and written origin stories that give definition and commonality to groups of people.
Because Houston is home to a large community of people with Indian roots, Dr. Keune and his collaborators titled the symposium, "Reception of the Ramayana in Diaspora."
"We're especially looking at how people outside India have interpreted the Ramayana and what perspectives they have taken on why the Ramayana is important to them," Dr. Keune said.
"Reception of the Ramayana in Diaspora" will host two main speakers. Dr. Sherry-Ann Singh, a lecturer from the University of the West Indies, will talk about roles that the Ramayana has played in Trinidad. Dr. Caleb Simmons, assistant professor of religious studies at the University of Arizona, will discuss how the Ramayana is portrayed in a popular comic book series, Ramayan 3392 AD.
"In the afternoon, we'll have a common viewing of an animated film, Sita Sings the Blues, which is based on the Ramayana but tries to tell the story in a novel way," Dr. Keune said.
The symposium will be held October 10 in Insperity Building (CBB) room 238 beginning at 9 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend for part or all of the symposium.
This public conversation is one of several events the India Studies Program organizes to promote knowledge about the richness of Indian history and cultures.

WRONG - this is a book, not a tour so your comment doesn't make sense. I have nothing to do with Travel in France and don't know who you are referring to. Please check your facts before you make comments!ReplyDelete

Abstract: In this study, ground tire rubber (R-GTR) with the average particle size of 456 µm was chemically modified to produce modified ground tire rubber (M-GTR) that can work as ion exchange materials. The modification was performed by oxidation reaction. The ground tire rubber was oxidized at the range of temperature from 20 to 40๐C for 48, 72 and 96 hours by a mixture of the HNO3 /H3PO4/NaNO2 system. The HNO3/H3PO4 ratio was 1:3 and the concentration of NaNO2 was 1.4% w/v. FT-IR revealed that the carboxyl group or the carbonyl group was successfully introduced into the modified ground tire rubber and SEM images demonstrated that the porosity of modified ground tire rubber increased. The results of the modified ground tire rubber showed that the carboxyl content increased with an increase of reaction time while %yield decreased with an increase of reaction time. The optimum condition for modification was the reaction at 30๐C for 96 hours.
Abstract: Ruthenium(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with varied alkyl chains specifically methyl (PC01), hexyl (PC02) and octyl (PC03). The photophysical property was studied by UV-Visible absorption. The results showed that the main absorption peaks were asigned to the metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition (350-600 nm). The incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) covered the entire visible spectrum reaching to 18-20% at 520 nm. The DSSC performances were investigated with liquid iodide/tri-iodide electrolyte under standard AM 1.5. PC01-PC03 showed that the power conversion efficiency (h) were obtained at 3.08%, 3.18% and 3.14%, respectively, compared with N719 (7.80%). Interestingly, PC02 and PC03 showed the long term stability with %hloss better than the standard up to 1000 h.
Synthesis and Electrical Conductivity of N-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzylidine)Thiosemicarbazide towards Dyes Sensitized Solar Cell
Abstract: Organic compound containing thiosemicarbazide moiety has been successfully synthesized. The new synthesized dyes, N-(3-(Trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde)benzylidine thiosemi- carbazide (3-TFT) was characterized by spectroscopic technique namely, CHNS elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infra-Red analysis (FT-IR), UV-Visible analysis (UV-Vis), 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The thin films of this dye have been prepared using a spin coating technique and deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate. The main highlight was an electrical conductivity of thin films which was measured using four point probing system in a range of light intensity, 25 Wm-2 until 200Wm-2. The potential electrical conductivity of 3-TFT dye was found gradually increased until reached the maximum conductivity values of 0.1489 Scm-1 at light intensity of 100 Wm-2 in the most diluted concentration at 1x10-5M.
Abstract: The four thiocyanate free ruthenium(II) complexes; [Ru(N^N)2(C^N)]PF6 were synthesized and characterized for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The results showed that the broad absorptions covered the visible region from metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) were obtained with the main peaks at 560, 490 and 400 nm. The materials were studied DSSC performance under standard AM 1.5. Compound PP1 showed the power conversion efficiency (PCE) at 3.10%, with a short-circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of 7.99 mA cm-2, an open-circuit photovoltage (Voc) of 563 mV and a high fill factor (ff) of 0.690.
Abstract: With the building integrated photovoltaic commonly using in residential and commercial buildings, fire researches about this new renewable energy system are still insufficient. Electrical failure may bring local fever at the backside of the module. In order to investigate fire potential in this situation, bench-scale experiments based on the cone calorimeter are conducted with different external heat flux from 20 to 45kWm-2 at intervals of 5 kWm-2. This paper focuses on the thermal properties and combustion behaviors of copper–indium–gallium–diselenide (CIGS) thin-film solar module, and also discusses the gas toxicity.

Research quality places UTS highly in worldwide scientific ranking
29 May 2017
- UTS has ranked highly for the proportion of its scientific research published in top-tier journals in the 2017 CWTS Leiden Ranking
- On the citation quality measure UTS was ranked number two in Australia after the Australian National University and 121 globally
A ranking of the scientific performance of more than 900 universities worldwide has rated UTS highly for the quality of its research.
In the 2017 CWTS Leiden Ranking UTS is number two in Australia after the Australian National University and 121 globally for the proportion of citations in publications belonging to the top 10 per cent of their field.
In mathematics and computer science UTS was ranked the top university in Australia for citations in top-tier publications and sixth in the world.
UTS Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Glenn Wightwick said media reporting that the Leiden Ranking showed younger Australian universities "punching above their weight" was certainly the case.
"This is a good measure of UTS's research excellence in that we have a higher proportion of our publications in top journals compared to other universities, with a focus on quality rather than quantity," Professor Wightwick said.
"Another indicator that is interesting is collaboration. We are ranked number three in Australia for the 'proportion of the publications of a university co-authored with one or more other organisations'.
"This highlights the focus we have at UTS on internationalisation, our KTP (Key Technology Partnership) program and our desire to collaborate with others."
The Leiden Ranking is produced by the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands. It focuses only on scientific impact and participation in scientific collaborations.

These ward profiles provide information about the population in 2011, but are based on the ward boundaries that came into effect in 2017. The information comes from the existing 2011 Census of Canada and 2011 National Household Survey data.
Because of the significant changes to the ward boundaries in 2017, these ward profiles should not be compared to ward profiles from other years. Please email email@example.com to access the previous Ward profiles based 2013 Ward boundaries.
The population of some communities has increased considerably since the 2011 census, especially at the edges of the city. This means the population for some Wards will seem smaller than expected, but still provides useful socio-economic data. For current Ward populations please refer to the 2017 Civic Census results.
Ward profiles based on the 2017 ward boundaries will be updated with data from the 2016 Census of Canada in late 2018.
Ward profiles enable citizens and others to learn more about each of the wards that make up Calgary.
The Calgary ward profiles are comprised of three parts.
