Transmission of Normal P-Waves across a Single Joint Based on g‐λ Model by Zhanfeng Fan, Jichun Zhang, Hua Xu, Jianhua Cai

“…When λ takes the limit values 0 and 1, the transmitted wave’s particle velocities are then consistent with the conclusions of the classical exponential model and the Barton–Bandis model. In addition, the transmission and reflection coefficients are discussed with respect to λ and also to the ratio of the joint closure to the maximum allowable joint closure.…”

Theoretical Research on the Mechanism of the Dimerization Reactions of Alkyl Ketene by Zhiguo Zhang, Guoneng Li, Guilin Hu, Yaoyu Sun

“…The results can be summed up as follows: according to the frontier orbital theory, the dimerization reaction (3) to generate four-membered carbon cyclic product P3 is forbidden. Two different dimerization processes of alkyl ketene are all concerted but nonsynchronous, taking place through twisted four-membered cyclic transition states. …”
