The effect of changing the method of calculating repulsion integrals within the framework of the semiempirical self-consistent field method is investigated with respect to the transition energies of the alternant hydrocarbons benzene, anthracene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. Of the methods investigated, the one originally suggested by Mataga gave the best agreement with experiment. By statistical analysis of the linear relationship between the internuclear distance rpq and the bond order ppq, the regression line[Formula: see text]was obtained.The success of the Hückel LCAO procedure in correlating observed p-band transition energies with the Hückel energy number[Formula: see text](NP = No. of atoms contributing π electrons) for the highest occupied MO was shown to be due to (1) the relative unimportance of configuration interaction for this transition, (2) the invariance of the electron interaction terms calculated by the SCF method for different hydrocarbons, and (3) the identity of the Hückel energy number [Formula: see text] with the corresponding term[Formula: see text]of SCF theory, the latter value being insensitive to the method of choosing repulsion integrals even though the individual AO coefficients [Formula: see text] were quite sensitive.

We have previously seen how the Dirac equation for one particle requires some rather special consideration and interpretation in order to arrive at a form that is able to treat electrons and positrons on an equal footing. These problems persist also when we go to systems with more than one electron. One might think that the extension to several electrons should not introduce dramatic changes. After all, we noted that even the one-electron problem must be viewed as a many-electron (and -positron) system in order to arrive at a consistent description. The problem with introducing more electrons is that electron–electron interactions that were previously small—for the one-electron case typically arising from vacuum polarization and self-interaction—now occur to the same order as the kinetic energy and the interaction with the potential. So while a perturbative approach such as QED can use the solutions of the one-electron Dirac equations as a very good starting approximation to a more accurate description of the full system, the same would not work for a system with more electrons because it would mean neglecting interactions of the same magnitude as the zeroth-order energy. For applications to quantum chemistry, the treatment of the entire electron–electron interaction as a perturbation would be hopelessly impractical, as it is even in manyelectron relativistic atomic structure calculations. The technique for dealing with this problem is well known from nonrelativistic calculations on many-electron systems. One-particle basis sets are developed by considering the behavior of the single electron in the mean field of all the other electrons, and while this neglects a smaller part of the interaction energy, the electron correlation, it provides a suitable starting point for further variational or perturbational treatments to recover more of the electron–electron interaction. It is only natural to pursue the same approach for the relativistic case. Thus one may proceed to construct a mean-field method that can be used as a basis for the perturbation theory of QED.

We present a modification of a supermolecule model of a general chlorophyll dimer, and calculate the excited state electronic Raman selection rules between the various singlet states. The model utilizes the electronic part of the total wavefunction within the strong intermolecular coupling scheme. Under this condition and the neglect of underlying orbitals, the electronic wave function of the dimer is reduced to a four orbital function with each monomer contributing one HOMO and one LUMO. Using a Hückel type molecular orbital calculation, the one electron orbital energies and coefficients of the ground and excited state wavefunctions of the dimer are obtained and are shown to depend explicitly on the ground and excited state intermolecular interaction terms. The resulting Raman activity calculation between the various excited state configurations yields two types of tensor elements: (1) contains only coordinates of the individual monomer α1 (molecule 1) and α2 (molecule 2) and are called spatially localized elements and (2) labelled spatially delocalized and contains coordinates of both monomer molecules simultaneously (α3 and α4).


The calculation of approximate wave functions for the normal configurations of the ions O +++, O ++, O +, and neutral O, and the calculation of energy values from the wave functions, was carried out some years ago by Hartree and Black (1933)- In this work, the one-electron radial wave functions were calculated by the method of the selfconsistent field without exchange, but exchange terms were included in the calculation of the energy from these radial wave functions. In the energy calculations, the same radial wave functions were taken for each of the spectral terms arising from a single configuration; * consequently the ratios between the calculated intermultiplet separations were exactly those given by Slater’s (1929) theory of complex spectra, f The ratios between the observed intermultiplet separations, however, depart considerably from these theoretical values (for example, we have for 0 ++ ( 1 D - 1 S) / ( 3 P - 1 D), calc. 3 : 2, obs. 1.04 :1), although the energies of the individual terms, and particularly the intermultiplet separation between the lower terms, show quite a good agreement with the observed values.

In the framework of random-phase approximation theory and applying the self-consistent field method, we study the properties of collective charge density excitations in single quantum well in consideration of dielectric mismatch. We analytically give the general solution of the image potential to the one dimensional Green's function. Our numerical results demonstrate that the dielectric mismatch between the barrier and well materials significantly changes the frequency of the intra- and inter-subband plasmon modes in contrast with dielectric match. We reasonably conclude that the image potential affects the intra- and inter-subband plasmon modes in a different way.

Using the unsymmetrized self-consistent field method the quasi-classical expansion of the one-particle density matrices is considered. The integral equations for the first quantum corrections to the classical one-particle probability densities are derived. The exact solution for the perfect crystals with the strong anharmonicity of the fourth order is found and used to calculate the first quantum correction to the effective amplitudes of the strongly anharmonic vibrations of atoms. The solution is obtained also for the semi-infinite linear chain as the simplest model of the anharmonic crystal with the surface.

We present a first principles approach for decomposing molecular linear response properties into orthogonal (additive) plus non-orthogonal/cooperative contributions. This approach enables one to 1) identify the contributions of molecular building blocks like functional groups or monomer units to a given response property and 2) quantify cooperativity between these contributions. In analogy to the self consistent field method for molecular interactions, SCF(MI), we term our approach LR(MI). The theory, implementation and pilot data are described in detail in the manuscript and supporting information.

Today, worldview, spiritual and moral problems that have always been reflected in education and upbringing come to the fore in society. In this situation, there is a demand for philosophical categories. One of the priority goals of education in modern conditions is the formation of a reasonable, reflexive person who is able to analyze their actions and the actions of other people. Modern science is characterized by an understanding of the absolute value and significance of childhood in the development of the individual, which implies the need for its multilateral study. In the conditions of democratization of all spheres of life, the child ceases to be a passive object of education and training, and becomes an active carrier of their own meanings of being and the subject of world creation. One of the realities of childhood is philosophizing, so it is extremely timely to address the identification of its place and role in the world of childhood. Children's philosophizing is extremely poorly studied, although the need for its analysis is becoming more obvious. Children's philosophizing is one of the forms of philosophical reflection, which has its own qualitative specificity, on the one hand, and commonality with all other forms of philosophizing, on the other. The social relevance of the proposed research lies in the fact that children's philosophizing can be considered as an intellectual indicator of a child's socialization, since the process of reflection involves the adoption and development of culture. Modern society, in contrast to the traditional one, is ready to "accept" a philosophizing child, which means that it is necessary to determine the main characteristics and conditions of children's philosophizing.

Abstract: The longstanding effort to develop a people-based regionalism in Southeast Asia has been shaped by an inherent tension between the liberal inclination to privilege the individual and the community under formation, on the one hand, and the realist insistence on the primacy of the state, on the other. This article explores the conditions and constraints affecting ASEAN’s progress in remaking Southeast Asia into a people-focused and caring community in three areas: disaster management, development, and democratization (understood here as human rights). Arguably, the persistent gap in Southeast Asia between aspiration and expectation is determined less by political ideology than by the pragmatic responses of ASEAN member states to the forces of nationalism and protectionism, as well as their respective sense of local and regional responsibility.Resumen: El esfuerzo histórico para desarrollar un regionalismo basado en las personas del sudeste de Asia ha estado marcado por una tensión fundamental entre la inclinación liberal de privilegiar el individuo y la comunidad y la insistencia realista sobre la primacía del estado. Este artículo explora las condiciones y limitaciones que afectan el progreso de la ASEAN en la reestructuración de Asia sudoriental en una comunidad centrada en el cuidado de las personas en: gestión de desastres, desarrollo y democratización (i.e., derechos humanos). La brecha persistente en el sudeste asiático entre la aspiración y la expectativa está determinada por las respuestas pragmáticas de los miembros de la ASEAN sometidos a las fuerzas del nacionalismo y proteccionismo, así como su respectivo sentido de responsabilidad local y regional.Résumé: L’effort historique pour développer un régionalisme fondé sur les peuples en Asie du Sud-Est a été marqué par une tension fondamentale entre l’inclination libérale qui privilégie, d’une part, l’individu et la communauté et, d’autre part, l’insistance réaliste sur la primauté de l’État. Cet article explore les conditions et les contraintes qui nuisent aux progrès de l’ANASE dans le cadre d’une refonte de l’Asie du Sud-Est en une communauté centrée et attentive aux peuples dans trois domaines : la gestion des désastres, le développement et la démocratisation (en référence aux droits humains). Le fossé persistant en Asie du Sud-Est entre les aspirations et les attentes est vraisemblablement moins déterminé par l’idéologie politique que par les réponses pragmatiques des États membres de l’ANASE soumis aux forces du nationalisme et du protectionnisme ainsi que par leur sens respectif de la responsabilité locale et régionale.

Against the background of the trend of Islamizing human rights on the one hand, as well as increasing skepticism about the compatibility of Islam and human rights on the other, I intend to analyze the potential of Islamic ethics to meet the requirements for vitalizing the idea of human rights. I will argue that the compatibility of Islam and human rights cannot be determined merely on the basis of comparing the specific content of the Islamic moral code(s) with the rights stipulated in the International Bill of Rights, but by scanning (different conceptions of) Islamic ethics for the two indispensable formal prerequisites of any human rights conception: the principle of universalism (i.e., normative equality) and individualism (i.e., the individual enjoyment of rights). In contrast to many contemporary (political) attempts to reconcile Islam and human rights due to urgent (global) societal needs, this contribution is solely committed to philosophical reasoning. Its guiding questions are “What are the conditions for deriving both universalism and individualism from Islamic ethics?” and “What axiological axioms have to be faded out or reorganized hierarchically in return?”
