Dunham Expansion
In quantum chemistry, the Dunham expansion is an expression for the rotational-vibrational energy levels of a diatomic molecule: : E(v,J,\Omega) = \sum_ Y_ (v+1/2)^k (J+1) - \Omega^2l, where v and J are the vibrational and rotational quantum numbers, and \Omega is the projection of J along the internuclear axis in the body-fixed frame. The constant coefficients Y_ are called Dunham parameters with Y_ representing the electronic energy. The expression derives from a semiclassical treatment of a perturbational approach to deriving the energy levels. The Dunham parameters are typically calculated by a least-squares The method of least squares is a standard approach in regression analysis to approximate the solution of overdetermined systems (sets of equations in which there are more equations than unknowns) by minimizing the sum of the squares of the res ... fitting procedure of energy levels with the quantum numbers.

Dunham Tavern
The Dunham Tavern, also known as the Dunham Tavern Museum, is the oldest building in Cleveland, Ohio, located at 6709 Euclid Avenue.

It is believed to be the first building constructed on Euclid Avenue east of East 55th Street and the first frame house on the street. It later became a stagecoach stop and tavern. Restoration Cleveland activist and landscape architect, A. Donald Gray purchased the home in 1932, restoring the 19th century architecture and replanting the orchard. Gray later established a non-profit organization tasked with maintaining the property. The home was re-opened as the Dunham Tavern Museum in 1941. In 1982, the two non-profit organizations that cared for the property – Dunham Tavern, Inc. (est. by Gray in 1936) and the Society of Collectors, Inc. (which assumed responsibility for the tavern in 1941) – merged into one corporate entity, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
