The McClelland number of a conjugated hydrocarbon is the integer k, satisfying the condition 2(-(1/2)k) root 2nm <= E < 2(-(1/2)k+1) root 2nm, where E is the HMO total pi-electron energy, n the number of carbon atoms, and m the number of carbon-carbon bonds. If k = 3, then the respective conjugated system is said to be energy-regular. If k ! 2 and k ! 4, then one speaks of energy-poor and energy-rich pi-electron systems, respectively. We found that all polycyclic Kekulean hydrocarbons, possessing condensed rings, are energy-regular, with only three exceptions: naphthalene, phenanthrene, and triphenylene (which are energy-rich). Energy-poor pi-electron systems are some (but not all) non-Kekuleans, whereas many of the polycyclic Kekulean hydrocarbons with non-condensed rings (polyphenyls, phenyl-substituted polyenes and similar) are energy-rich.

Iterative estimation of total π-electron energy Türker, Lemi; Gutman, Ivan (National Library of Serbia, 2005) In this work, the lower and upper bounds for total -electron energy (E) was studied. A method is presented, by means of which, starting with a lower bound EL and an upper bound EU for E, a sequence of auxiliary quantities E0, E1, E2, … is computed, such that E0 = EL, E0 < E1 < E2 < …, and E = EU. Therefore, an integer k exists, such that Ek E < Ek+1. If the estimates EL and EU are of the McClelland type, then k is called the McClelland number. For almost all benzenoid hydrocarbons, k = 3.
Observation of nuclear modifications in W-+/- boson production in pPb collisions at root s(NN)=8.16 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) The production of W-+/- bosons is studied in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of root s(NN) = 8.16 TeV. Measurements are performed in the W-+/- -> mu(+/-)nu(mu) channel using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 173.4 +/- 6.1 nb(-1), collected by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC. The number of positively and negatively charged W bosons is determined separately in the muon pseudorapidity region in the laboratory frame vertical bar eta(mu)(lab)verti...
The mass and residues of radially and orbitally excited doubly heavy baryons in QCD Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Bilmiş, Selçuk (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) The mass and residues of the first radial and orbital excitations of J = 1/2 baryons containing two heavy quarks (b or c) are calculated within the QCD sum rules method. In calculations, the general forms of the interpolating currents with symmetric and anti-symmetric forms with respect to the exchange of heavy quarks have been used. Our results on the spectroscopic parameters of doubly heavy baryons are compared with the predictions of other theoretical approaches.
Estimating the angle of total pi-electron energy Gutman, I; Türker, Burhan Lemi (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-23) The angle theta of total pi-electron energy of an alternant hydrocarbon is defined via: E-pi = 2rootne cos theta, where 2n or 2n + 1 is the number vertices and e the number of edges of the molecular graph, and E-pi is the respective HMO total pi-electron energy. The angle theta is sensitive to the structural differences between isomeric alternant hydrocarbons. Recently [J. Mol. Struct. (Theochem) 584 (2002) 183] an identity cos theta = [(e + n)/(2rootne)](1 + alpha - rootalpha2 + 2alpha) has been deduced, w...
Measurement of the inelastic proton-proton cross section at root s=7 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2013-05-01) A measurement is presented of the inelastic proton-proton cross section at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV. Using the CMS detector at the LHC, the inelastic cross section is measured through two independent methods based on information from (i) forward calorimetry (for pseudorapidity 3 200 MeV/c. The measurements cover a large fraction of the inelastic cross section for particle production over about nine units of pseudorapidity and down to small transverse momenta. The results are compared with ...
