Large scale calculations have been performed in the framework of the complex-rotated Hamiltonian and indicate strong correlation effects in this system. The findings are rationalized by comparing with bound doubly charged anions and calculations in the infinite dimension limit. [S0031-9007(96) PACS numbers: 32.70.Fw, 32.80.Dz Singly charged negative ions in the gas phase have attracted considerable attention over the past decades, whereas the existence of free doubly charged negative ions has remained a curiosity and only recent experimental and theoretical studies have definitely shown that small dianions may exist as isolated entities . Surprisingly, many dianions which are well known in solids or solutions cannot permanently bind two extra electrons in the gas phase, and, in contrast, many systems which are found or predicted to form stable free doubly charged anions are not known in classical chemistry. In view of the Coulomb repulsion between the two extra electrons the question "Which is the smallest molecular or atomic system that can bind two additional electrons?" has drawn substantial interest. Out of the many findings that have been recently reviewed [1,2], let us briefly mention two outstanding examples. Doubly charged carbon clusters C n 22 ͑n 7 28͒ with lifetimes .10 26 s have been observed in a mass spectrometer [3] and dianions of the type MX 3 22 ͑M Li, Na, K; X F, Cl͒ have been predicted theoretically to form stable dianions .

Large-scale calculations have been performed using the complex-rotation technique, and the results indicate that the investigated 4 S o state of H 2Ϫ is strongly correlated. The findings are rationalized by comparing with bound doubly charged anions, isoelectronic states of the Li atom, and calculations in the infinite-dimension limit. In addition, the emerging picture is sustained by an analysis of the complex-rotated wave function.
Collaborative Learning and Knowledge Maturing from Two Perspectives

It allows better understanding collaborative knowledge building in wikis and other social media [1]. Alternatively, Riss and Magenheim have suggested a Sociofact Theory of social knowledge that is based on Symbolic Interactionism [2]. It emphasizes the role of deviations in common understanding of information artefacts. Although different at first glance, it is shown that both theories are based on similar ideas.

Individual and organizational learning are prominent means to achieve this. Hereby learning is always accompanied by the development of knowledge artifacts. For the entire of learning and artifact development the term knowledge maturing has been introduced recently, which focuses on these three manifestations of knowledge: cognifacts, sociofacts, and artifacts.

Explicit formulas are obtained which describe the reflection and transmission properties of monomial CAPs− iηx with high accuracy. These properties are now well understood.
Inclusion of electron correlation for the target wave function in low-energy e^{-}+ N_ {2} scattering

The electron-molecule interaction potential is in this case determined by the uncorrelated one-particle density. The static-exchange approach can be viewed as an extension of the self-consistent-field(SCF) method to the con-tinuum, ie, the computed scattering wave functions are the (numerically exact) virtual orbitals of the Fock opera-tor. The method thus ignores correlation completely.

It takes into account that knowledge does not only manifest in artifacts but also in actions. The approach supports knowledge workers in the execution of their tasks by offering guiding task patterns without restricting their freedom of execution.

The calculation of energies and lifetimes of metastable molecules requires the treatment of both the continuum and correlation effects. We describe the complex absorbing potential approach incorporated within a configuration-interaction framework. The absorbing potential method allows a very efficient solution of the continuum problem, making possible a detailed study of the correlation effects that turn out to be surprisingly strong.
