May I remind you not to copy/paste phrases and sentences from copyrighted sources. Combined with your perpetual edit warring, which has never stopped despite past ANI reports, this might result in more serious sanctions against your account. Materialscientist (talk) 09:23, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

If you actually expect me to rewrite my previously thorough rewrites, then please see your messages -- and try to be far more specific. logger9 (talk) 09:32, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Physics of glass

Hello. I reverted some edits you made on this article that appeared to be vandalism. After looking at the article history, I no longer think that was the case and I reverted my revert. To avoid this in the future, though, please use the edit summary when you make edits so it's easier to know what is happening in the article. There is a setting in your preferences to remind you to use an edit summary to make this easier. Thanks.--v/r - T P 19:26, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Copyright violations continued

Shocked by what Materialscientist found out about your practice of pasting entire paragraphs from the literature, I had a look into some of your other writings, and I discovered at once three more copyright violations. Hence ANI and CCI. -- Marie Poise (talk) 15:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

CCI template does not work. Anyway, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations. -- Marie Poise (talk) 15:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

A quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model obtained by using multiple linear stepwise regression analysis, with correlation coefficient R of 0.979 for the training set and 0.951 for the validation set, was developed to predict the glass transition temperature (T g) values of polyacrylates. Three quantum chemical descriptors (the molecular average polarizability a, the entropy S, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital E LUMO) obtained directly from polyacrylates monomer structure by density function theory (DFT) calculation, were used to produce the model. The result confirmed the role that quantum chemical descriptors play in studying QSPR of glass transition temperature for polymers.

a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model was obtained through the use of multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. This work used a correlation coefficient R of 0.979 for the training set, while an R value of 0.951 was used for the validation set. The model was developed in order to predict the glass transition temperature values of several polyacrylates. Three quantum chemical descriptors -- the molecular average polarizability a, the entropy S, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ELUMO) -- were obtained from monomer structures by using density function theory (DFT) calculations. These descriptors were then used in order to produce the model. The result confirmed the primary role of such descriptors in studying QSPR models of the Tg for these polymers.

The glass transition of a hard sphere system is investigated within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to study the dynamical behavior of the system on the one hand and to provide the data to produce the density field for the DFT on the other hand. Energy landscape analysis based on the DFT shows that there appears a metastable (local) free energy minimum representing an amorphous state as the density is increased. This state turns out to become stable, compared with the uniform liquid, at some density around which we also observe a sharp slowing down of the alpha relaxation in the MD simulations.

Glasses and glass ceramics in the ternary xEu2O3·(100 - x)[7TeO2·3P2O5] systems .. have been prepared from melt quenching method. Influence of europium ions on structural behavior in phosphate–tellurate glasses has been investigated using infrared spectroscopy. The addition of high Eu2O3 content resulted in gradual depolymerization of the phosphate chains and formation of the EuPO4 crystalline phase. Presence of the multiple cations of europium and tellurium in the glasses to attract the [PO4] structural units

Comparing the theoretical and experimental IR spectral characteristic features, we conclude that the performance of the method/basis sets used on the prediction of the structural data and vibrational modes is good.

glasses as well as glass ceramics in the ternary Eu2O3·7TeO2·3P2O5 system which have been prepared utilizing the melt quenching method. The influence of europium ions on microstructural behavior in phosphate-tellurate glasses has been investigated using IR spectroscopy. The addition of high Eu2O3 content resulted in gradual depolymerization of the phosphate chains. An additional effect included the formation of the EuP04 crystalline phase. The presence of multiple cations of europium and tellurium in these compounds tends to attract the [PO4] structural units

Comparison between theory and experiment here is good, as it was concluded that the performance of the method/basis sets used on the prediction of the structural data and vibrational modes is good

Raman spectra have been interpreted using density functional theory (DFT) harmonic frequency calculations on specific clusters of GaS4H4 and/or GaS3H3Cl tetrahedral subunits. The assignment of the observed vibrational bands confirms the main structural conclusions obtained with X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments

however, no Raman signature of chlorine-doped subunits has been found to be caused by their insufficient intensity. For higher CsCl concentrations, distinct spectral features corresponding to chlorine-doped clusters appear

The added chlorine atoms induce a fragmentation of the glass network and replace the sulfur atoms in the CS tetrahedral environment. The comparison of the observed spectra with theoretical predictions and diffraction data favoured one-fold coordinated chlorine atoms in the glass network.

Raman spectra have then been interpreted by application of harmonic frequency DFT calculations on specific clusters of GaS4H4 and/or GaS3H3Cl tetrahedral substrucural units. The assignment of the observed vibrational bands confirms the main structural conclusions which have been obtained in X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments.

However, no Raman signature of chlorine-doped subunits has been found, which may be caused by their lack of intensity..for higher CsCl concentrations, distinct spectral features which are typically associated with chlorine-doped clusters appear

The added chlorine atoms thus appears to induce a fragmentation of the glassy network by replacing the sulfur atoms in the CS tetrahedral environment. The comparison of the observed Raman spectra with theoretical DFT predictions and diffraction data tends to favor a 1-fold coordination for chlorine atoms within the glassy network.

The local structures of two metallic glasses with good plasticity, i.e., Al89La6Ni5 and Cu49Hf42Al9, were studied by reduced density functions (RDFs) from electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope. Atomic models were refined against the RDF data using the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This approach allows the contributions of different bond types to the total G(r) to be examined. For Al89La6Ni5, RDFs from different local areas showed three distinct amorphous structures while RDFs from different local areas in Cu49Hf42Al9 were identical, but with a broad spread of Hf-Hf bond lengths. The coexistence of three distinct amorphous states in Al89La6Ni5 and the wide variation of Hf-Hf first neighbour distances in Cu49Hf42Al9 could be associated with the high plasticity for both glasses.

This approach allows the comparison of different types of metallic bonding to the total G(r.) For RDFs from the Al89La6Ni5 alloy composition, different local areas showed three distinct amorphous structures. RDFs from different local areas in the Cu49Hf42Al9 alloy composition were identical. But interestingly, these samples showed a broad spread of Hf-Hf bond lengths. Both of these results could be associated with the high plasticity for both of these metallic glasses.

Such compilations are time consuming and are not meant to say "rewrite these parts" - those are random excerpts - they are meant to say do not do that again, especially in combination with edit warring with editors who attempt removing them. Materialscientist (talk) 10:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

MS -- Thanks very much for taking this time to point out your concerns. But if you did not want me to publish full rewritten abstracts for each example, then you could have simply said so.

I will consolidate them all (DFT applications) into a brief summary, and re-post with the theroetical portion. Thanks again for your time and energy in this matter. logger9 (talk) 18:06, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Another (fixable) copyright issue

As part of this edit to Frequency you appear to have included material taken from http://www.wavesignal.com/Light/index.html. This material will have to be removed unless you can provide us with verifiable permission by following the steps at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials (this may also be the case for other articles, that just happens to be one that I've looked at so far). VernoWhitney (talk) 20:24, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

That is my own personal website on my own personal domain. We have been through this repeatedly, and you have that documented somewhere. -- logger9 (talk) 21:19, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I located the ticket (here for my own future reference) and it releases the material under the GFDL. I'm afraid that the content needs to be released under CC-BY-SA licensing as well. Wikipedia:Licensing update has all of the gory details of the changeover, but to be brief the GFDL is no longer sufficient for text posted since Nov. 1, 2008. It was a retroactive deal, which is likely why it wasn't mentioned to you the first time around with OTRS. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:33, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Not worth my time or energy....not even close. Go ahead and delete it from the article in its entirety. For all the effort I give to this organization for free.....you people should have a blood transfusion set up. Happy Holidaze. -- logger9 (talk) 21:37, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Unrelated to the above I just removed your latest addition to Strength of glass. Just because we haven't yet found the source for some of your contributions is not an excuse for you to repost copied material. If you persist you will be blocked. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:10, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas Logger9!

I'm sorry to see you going through this fiasco, although I have to admit, I saw this coming a long time ago. A clear sign that something is wrong is finding the exact same text in multiple articles. I've been monitoring this for some time now, watching silently in the winds. I'm not sure that you understand the gravity that plagiarism has in the world of writing. While it can be illegal from a copyright standpoint, it can also ruin a writer's reputation beyond repair. I've been willing in the past to help you work on your writing technique, but you've always seemed reluctant to accept any advice. I know that no one ever sees a problem with their own writing, but when multiple people are saying the same things, there just might be something to it.

I also know that criticism is not easy to listen to, but it is vital for improving oneself. Writing is not easy either. Even for talented writers, it still takes a lot of critical reviews before a person starts to get the hang of it. Unfortunately, only we can decide to improve ourselves. No one is going to do it for you.

I don't have time to walk through every edit, line by line, like I did with the intro to the liquid article, so I'm just going to leave some simple advice, in the hopes that it will improve your experience here on Wikipedia, in the academic world at large, along with helping to lower the work load of everyone else involved. I would advise doing some research on the matter of writing itself. Study the Wikipedia policies. Watch the talk pages, and familiarize yourself the the way people interact here. Read the manual of style, and try to perfect that Nova announcer style voice. Find out what works and what doesn't. Talk to some writing teachers and read some books.

Some very good books I can recommend are On writing well: The classical guide to writing non-fiction, Stein on writing, and McGraw-Hill's Concise guide to writing research papers. These books and many others are probably available on google, or at your public library. (One thing I do is to read every source that I can on a subject, and then let it stew in my subconscious for a couple of weeks to a month. Then I write it out without referring to the sources, and add the references afterward. That helps keep it in my own words. Even though I only work on articles in which I have some expertise, I still like to review the sources in this manner, for it's amazing how often I can prove myself wrong.

On a happier note, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful hoilday season, and that the coming year will bring you luck and joy!
