What is Transition: Definition and 536 Discussions

A transition economy or transitional economy is an economy which is changing from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. Transition economies undergo a set of structural transformations intended to develop market-based institutions. These include economic liberalization, where prices are set by market forces rather than by a central planning organization. In addition to this trade barriers are removed, there is a push to privatize state-owned enterprises and resources, state and collectively run enterprises are restructured as businesses, and a financial sector is created to facilitate macroeconomic stabilization and the movement of private capital. The process has been applied in China, the former Soviet Union and Eastern bloc countries of Europe and some Third world countries, and detailed work has been undertaken on its economic and social effects.
The transition process is usually characterized by the changing and creating of institutions, particularly private enterprises; changes in the role of the state, thereby, the creation of fundamentally different governmental institutions and the promotion of private-owned enterprises, markets and independent financial institutions. In essence, one transition mode is the functional restructuring of state institutions from being a provider of growth to an enabler, with the private sector its engine. Another transition mode is change the way that economy grows and practice mode. The relationships between these two transition modes are micro and macro, partial and whole. The truly transition economics should include both the micro transition and macro transition. Due to the different initial conditions during the emerging process of the transition from planned economics to market economics, countries uses different transition model. Countries like P.R.China and Vietnam adopted a gradual transition mode, however Russia and some other East-European countries, such as the former Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, used a more aggressive and quicker paced model of transition.The term "transition period" is also used to describe the process of transition from capitalism to the first stage of socialism, preceding the establishment of fully developed socialism (aka communism).

    Atomic transition - What does this notation mean?

    Hello all, I've been reading about laser cooling, and when they speak of tuning the laser to a atomic transition, they write this (for example) as "The laser cooling was performed on the D_2 transition (3S_{1/2} \rightarrow 3 P_{3/2})". But what do they mean by that notation? I'm clueless...

    Radiative transition reference needed

    Hello folks, I'm reading quite a bit of laser physics material, and I'd like to understand the conventions of the states and transitions. I'm an undergraduate, so my background in quantum mechanics is at the very basic level. I would like to know the meaning of transitions such as the...

    Atomic transition and cavity axial-mode frequencies

    Hello folks, I would like to know whether or not the cavity axial-mode frequencies have any influence on the frequency output of the laser beam. I suppose that the atomic transition from excited state to ground state is the only occurrence responsible for the wavelength, whereas the axial-mode...

    How can a non-resonant monochromatic light induce an atomic transition?

    Hello How can a monochromatic light induce a transition ( absorption ) between two energy levels whose energy difference doesn't match the frequency of the incident light ?? A treatment using time dependent perturbation theory shows that the transition will occur even when the incident...

    Mathematica Mathematical transition from classical to quantum

    I have a question--in D. Bohm 1951 text Quantum Theory, on p. 6 he discusses what he calls Wien's Law formula, which contains two parameters hv/kT; where h is Planck's constant and k is Boltzmann's constant. He argues that the Wien formula fits empirical [experimental] data and thus supports...

    Probability of transition in hydrogen atom

    Here's the question... A hydrogen atom is in the ground state at time t = 0. At this time an external electric field of magnitude E(t)=E*exp(-t/tau) is applied along the z direction. Find the first-order probability that the atom will be in the 210 (nlm) state at time t >> tau, assuming that...

    Transition from something to nothing

    This may sound stupid, but it has always confused me. If you take a line and break it into infinitely smaller pieces, you would have miniscule lines while approaching infinity, yet at an "actual" infinity what is left is just points. What bothers me is, what happens inbetween. Is there some...

    Hydrogen 1S-2S transition frequency

    I'm reading some papers on recent measurements of the hydrogen 1S-2S transition frequency, and they report 2466.061 THz (with about nine additional digits of precision :smile:). However, when I calculate this frequency from the "exact fine-structure formula for hydrogen" (using 1S(n=1,j=0) and...

    Loss due to open channel to pipe flow transition

    Hi! I have the following equation for the entrance loss from an open channel to a pipe, but I'm not sure how it was derived: hloss = K*(V2^2 - V1^2)/2g I have always seen entrance losses as: K*(V^2)/2g, but why is the channel flow velocity considered in the equation above. Thanks...

    How Do Vacant d-Orbitals Facilitate the Formation of Transition Metal Complexes?

    one reason for transition metal to form complexes is that it has some vacant d-orbitals but i wonder how this can really help the formation of complexes as in a complex, electrons are donated by ligands to stabilize the positive charge of metal cation there is just no need to promote...

    Transition probabilities (basic concepts no math)

    Does it make sense to speak of the probability of finding a system which was once in the ground state in a higher state after a certain time? Since the Hamiltonian depends on time, once you collapse the wavefunction at that time, the energy you get can't be one of the values of the unperturbed...

    Positronium transition, energy of photon emitted

    What is the energy of the photon emitted when a positronium atom goes from the n=3 state to the n=1 state? Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. E_n = -\frac{\mu}{2{\hbar}^2} (\frac{Ze^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0})^2 \frac{1}{n^2} For hydrgen, the effective mass is approximately the mass of the...
