A high-spin isomer in 145 Sm was discovered by using Inverse kinematic reactions, 20 Ne e Xe,a7n) 145 Sm and 16 0 e 36 Xe,7n) 145 Sm. The half life was determined to be 0.96 J.LSec. Sixty-five 1-rays were identified by the /')'-coincidence measurements to belong to the isomer decay. The low-lying level scheme of 145 Sm was established in detail by the in-beam 1-ray measurements using the 139 La e 0 B,4n) 145 Sm reaction. A complex decay scheme of this isomer was constructed by using the data obtained from the 136 Xe induced reactions, combining the informations of low-lying states mentioned above. The excitation energy of this isomer was determined to be 8.8 MeV. The /')'-coincidence measurement using the 138 Ba (13 C,6n) 145 Sm reaction was also performed. Based on this information, the level scheme above the high-spin isomer was extended up to the state at 14.6 MeV. A 1-ray angular distribution measurement using the same reaction with pulsed beam was carried out and was used to assign a spin value of each level. Low-lying states in 145 Sm were interpreted to originate from a single neutron coupled to the 144 Sm core excitation. Experimental yrast states were compared with a calculation of a deformed independent particle model (DIPM). A configuration of the high-spin isomer was deduced by the DIPM calculation to be { 7r h ll /2 2 v (f 7 /2 h 9/2 i 13/2) } 49/2+ .

The stereochemistry of glycerophospholipids (GPLs) has been of interest for its roles in the evolution of life and in their biological activity. However, because of their structural complexity, no convenient method to determine their configuration has been reported. In this work, through the first systematic application of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to various diacylated GPLs, we have revealed that their chirality can be assigned by the sign of a VCD exciton couplet generated by the interaction of two carbonyl groups. This paper also presents spectroscopic evidence for the stereochemistry of GPLs isolated from bacteria, eukaryotes, and mitochondria.

In this paper, we are concerned with the uniqueness and the nondegeneracy of positive radial solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic equations. Using detailed ODE analysis, we extend previous results to cases where nonlinear terms may have sublinear growth. As an application, we obtain the uniqueness and the non-degeneracy of ground states for modified Schrödinger equations.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35J61, 35A02, 35B05.
