Comparing Eulerian and Lagrangian eddy census for a tide-less,semi-enclosed basin,the Baltic Sea

Ocean Dynamics - Eddies in the global and coastal ocean play a key role in mixing and transport processes. Here, we present an eddy census for the Baltic Sea covering the years 2008–2010. The...     

A theoretical study of the electronic structure of disiloxane [(SiH3)2O] and its relation to silicates

Ab initio selfconsistent field calculations have been carried out for disiloxane, (SiH₃)₂O, and the equilibrium structure determined. The Slater-type orbital STO-3G* basis set including d-functions on Si gave the equilibrium structure of r _e(Si-O)=1.58 Å and θ_e(Si-O-Si)=140.0° for the most stable C_ss conformer, in reasonable agreement with the experimental values of 1.634 Å and 144.1°, respectively. The barrier of internal rotation of the silyl-group has been found to be rather small. The influence of the d-function to the electronic structure is discussed and the calculated results are related to the silicates, especially to the sorosilicates.
