Effects of the initial vibrational and rotational energy of a diatomic molecule on reaction rates of atom-diatomic molecule reactions have been studied using classical trajectory calculations. The reaction probabilities, cross-sections and rate constants were calculated using the three-dimensional Monte-Carlo method. Equations of motion, which predict the positions and momenta of the colliding particles after each step in the trajectory, have been integrated numerically by the Runge-Kutta-Gill and Adams-Moulton methods. Morse potential energy surfaces were used to describe the interaction between the atom and each atom in the diatomic molecule. Several atom-diatomic molecule systems were studied. Variation of the reaction cross-section with both vibrational and rotational quantum numbers has been studied. For all systems studied, it was found that the cross-section increases with the vibrational quantum number. However, the effect of rotational quantum number on cross-section varies from one system to another. Results obtained in the present work were compared with experimental data and/or with results obtained theoretically. Good agreements were observed with experimental and with theoretical results obtained by other investigators using different calculation methods.

In Gold Rush–era California, banking and the financial sector evolved in often distinctive ways because of the Gold Rush economy. More importantly, the abundance of gold on the West Coast provided an interesting test case for some of the critical economic arguments of the day, especially for those deriving from the descending—but still powerful—positions of the “hard money” Jacksonians.

Using the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible as a test case, this article illustrates some of the important ways in which the Bible is understood and consumed and how it has continued to survive in an age of neoliberalism and postmodernity. It is clear that instant recognition of the Bible-as-artefact, multiple repackaging and pithy biblical phrases, combined with a popular nationalism, provide distinctive strands of this understanding and survival. It is also clear that the KJV is seen as a key part of a proud English cultural heritage and tied in with traditions of democracy and tolerance, despite having next to nothing to do with either. Anything potentially problematic for Western liberal discourse (e.g. calling outsiders “dogs,” smashing babies heads against rocks, Hades-fire for the rich, killing heretics, using the Bible to convert and colonize, etc.) is effectively removed, or even encouraged to be removed, from such discussions of the KJV and the Bible in the public arena. In other words, this is a decaffeinated Bible that has been colonized by, and has adapted to, Western liberal capitalism.
