Risk factors of obesity in a cohort of 1001 Cypriot adults: An epidemiological study.

Background And Aims: To measure the prevalence of overweight and obesity in adults in the Republic of Cyprus, and to evaluate and relate possible obesity risk factors of the adult Cypriot population.

Methods: This is an epidemiological cross-sectional study on a stratified random sample of 1001 (48.5% males-51.

The potential energy function of the ground electronic state of 16O2.

The potential energy function of the ground X (3)Σ(g)(-) electronic state of (16)O(2) has been obtained in analytical form by employing a fully quantum-mechanical direct potential fitting method. Term values generated from highly precise Dunham coefficients were employed in the direct fit, yielding a potential energy function that is accurate up to υ = 31, or up to an energy that is 90% of the dissociation limit. The term values are represented with a standard deviation of 0.

The ground X 1Sigmag+ electronic state of the cesium dimer: application of a direct potential fitting procedure.

A collection of 16,544 fluorescence series spectroscopic line positions involving the A (1)Sigma(u)(+)-->X (1)Sigma(g)(+) transition in Cs(2) has been analyzed by a modern direct potential fitting procedure to generate the first fully analytical potential energy function for the ground electronic state, and precise energy term values for the excited A (1)Sigma(u)(+) state. The potential function yields an accurate representation of spectroscopic data that span 99.24% of the well depth and the number of fitted parameters is significantly less than half the number of parameters determined in conventional Dunham analyses.

The B 1sigma+ and X 1sigma+ electronic states of hydrogen fluoride: a direct potential fit analysis.

All literature pure rotational and vibration-rotational spectroscopic data on the ground X (1)Sigma(+) electronic state of HF and DF, together with the entire set of spectroscopic line positions from analyses of the B (1)Sigma(+) --> X (1)Sigma(+) emission band systems of HF and DF, have been used in a global least-squares fit to the radial Hamiltonian operators, in compact analytic form, for both electronic states. With a data set consisting of 6157 spectroscopic line positions, the reduced standard deviation of the fit was sigma = 1.028.

Direct potential fit analysis of the X1sigma+ ground state of CO.

A collection of 21,559 highly precise spectroscopic line positions from pure rotational and vibration-rotational spectra for seven isotopomers of carbon monoxide in the X1sigma+ ground electronic state has been employed in direct least-squares fits of the rovibrational Hamiltonian operator obtained from Watson's work [J. Mol. Spectrosc.

The Radial Hamiltonians for the X(1)Sigma(+) and B(1)Sigma(+) States of HCl.

All literature vibration-rotational and pure rotational transition energies for the ground X(1)Sigma(+) electronic state of H(35)Cl, H(37)Cl, D(35)Cl, and D(37)Cl, along with the entire collection of electronic B(1)Sigma(+) --> X(1)Sigma(+) emission data for the four isotopomers, have been used in a least-squares fit of compact analytic Born-Oppenheimer potential functions for the B(1)Sigma(+) and X(1)Sigma(+) electronic states. Additional functions related to the adiabatic and nonadiabatic corrections have also been determined. Separate least-squares fits were made according to the hamiltonian operators of J.

Experimental Born-Oppenheimer Potential for the X1Sigma+ Ground State of HeH+: Comparison with the Ab Initio Potential.

All literature on vibration-rotational and pure rotational transition energies for the X1Sigma+ state of 4HeH+, 3HeH+, 4HeD+, and 3HeD+ have been employed in a direct least-squares fit of the radially dependent Hamiltonian. The Born-Oppenheimer potential is represented by a modified Lennard-Jones function that provides for correct behavior in the near dissociation long-range region. Only 19 adjustable parameters were required to represent the 166 measured transition energies, which are reproduced almost to within the measurement accuracies.

The Electronic Spectrum of Gaseous CoO in the Visible Region.

Laser excitation spectra of gaseous CoO have been recorded using Doppler-limited intracavity spectroscopy and supersonic jet-cooled molecular beam methods. As seen in the molecular beam spectra there are nearly 100 bands arising from the X4Delta7/2 spin component of the ground state in the wavelength region 430-720 nm. All of them are very strongly red-degraded and most of them are perturbed.
