- Using 14M psi(2S) events taken with the BESII detector, chi(cJ) -> 2(K+K-) decays are studied. For the four-kaon final state, the branching fractions are B(chi(c0,1,2) ->.2(K+K-)) = (3.48 +/- 0.23 +/- 0.47) x 10(-3), (0.70 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.10) x 10(-3), and (2.17 +/- 0.20 +/- 0.31) x 10(-3). For the phi K+K- final state, the branching fractions, which are measured for the first time, are B(chi(c0,1,2) -> phi K+K-) = (1.03 +/- 0.22 +/- 0.15) x 10(-3), (0.46 +/- 0.16 +/- 0.06) x 10(-3), and (1.67 +/- 0.26 +/- 0.24) x 10(-4). For the phi phi final state, B(chi(c0,2) -> phi phi) = (0.94 +/- 0.21 +/- 0.13) x 10(-3) and (1.70 +/- 0.30 +/- 0.25) x 10(-3).

- Systems at the nanoscale can exhibit distinctive and unexpected properties in electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and chemical aspects. Understanding these properties not only is of importance from the fundamental scientific view but also offers great opportunities for future applications. Theoretical calculations can provide important information to interpret, modify, and predict the novel properties of objects at the nanoscale and therefore play a significant role in the process of exploring the nano world. In this review, six different areas are briefly presented, namely, prediction of new stable structures, modi. cation of properties (especially the electronic structures), design of novel devices for applications, the structures and catalytic effects of clusters, the mechanical and transport properties of gold nanowires, and improvement of materials for hydrogen storage. Based on these examples, we show what can be done and what can be found in the investigations of nanoscale systems with participation of theoretical calculations.

- The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the QT dispersion measured from 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can estimate the global dispersion of ventricular repolarization (DVR) measured using a monophasic action potential (MAP) mapping technique. Monophasic action potentials were recorded from 75 +/- 12 left ventricular sites in 10 pigs and from 48 +/- 16 left or right ventricular sites in 15 patients using the CARTO mapping system. The maximum DVRs in both end-of-repolarization and MAP duration among all the mapped sites were calculated and termed as global DVR for each measurement. QT intervals, QT(peak) and QT(end), were measured from the 12-lead ECG, and QT dispersions; namely the differences between the maximum and the minimum of the QTpeak and QT(end) were calculated. We found that QT dispersions were significantly smaller than (P < .05) and poorly correlated with the global DVRs both in pigs and patients. Bland-Altman agreement analysis demonstrated a marked variation of the differences and an obvious lack of agreement between the results obtained using the ECG and the MAP methods. In our patients, the global DVR increased markedly during ventricular tachycardia as compared with that during sinus rhythm (P < .05), whereas there was no significant difference in QT dispersion between these 2 subgroups. In conclusion, QT dispersion on the surface ECG could not estimate the global DVR measured using the MAP mapping technique. These findings are not consistent with some previously reported observations, suggesting the need for reappraisal of the electrophysiological implications of QT dispersion.

- Recently, molecular electronics has become increasingly important. By applying the hybrid density functional theory coupled with the Green's function method, the current-voltage characteristics of the molecular junctions composed of gold-porphyrin-gold and gold-copper porphyrin-gold were investigated. The role of the metal coordination effect in organic molecular electron transport was highlighted. Although the thresholds of the bias voltage for both molecules were almost the same, approximately 0.9 V, the metal compound showed a larger increase in current because of the metal-coordination-enhanced molecule-electrode coupling in the frontier molecular orbitals.
