Coconut shell is the toughest component covered in coconut fruit. The coconut shell is situated between the coconut flesh and the coconut husk. This shell is usually designed to cover the inner portion of the coconut. [It] is used for the development of various handicrafts and other applications. Many handmade decoration items are produced by using coconut shells because of their strength. Coconut shells are also used to produce charcoal, which is used as food, and this coconut charcoal is much stronger than other charcoals.

The high resolution studies... of inner shell excited states of Ar, Kr and Xe have demonstrated the validity of the equivalent core model for these states.... In the case of inner shell excited states of homonuclear diatomic molecules [, ] however [, ] an ambiguity exists in the definition of the equivalent core molecule, depending on whether the inner shell hole is regarded as being localized or delocalized.

The differences... between the effective quantum numbers... of the inner-shell-excited atom and the equivalent-core atom are quite small, which indicated that the effective field experienced by the outer excited electron is indeed very similar in these two types of atom.

Des molécules à cœur équivalent. Avant de préciser la nature de ces ions, regardons de plus près la structure des molécules excitées par impact électronique de haute énergie. [...] C'est un effet typiquement moléculaire, car il ne se produit pas dans les atomes, où l'on observe toute une série de transitions dites séries de Rydberg. Il résulterait d'un effet de focalisation du champ moléculaire anisotrope sur l'électron excité vers l'orbitale vide. L'interaction entre l'électron excité et le champ moléculaire crée une barrière de potentiel centrifuge qui a pour effet de localiser cette orbitale vide près du cœur de la molécule. [...] La lacune en couche interne est localisée près du noyau, et les électrons de valence s'ajustent comme si la charge nucléaire de l'atome où est créée la lacune était augmentée d'une unité. [...] Ces molécules sont alors dites à cœur équivalent.

The most unusual aspect of the [inner shell photoabsorption] spectrum is that the lowest energy peak, corresponding to the promotion of a ls electron to the first unfilled... orbital, has an area which is much greater(by a factor of the order of 10) than the sum of the areas of all the other discrete peaks below the ionization threshold. This is attributable... to the fact that the [first unfilled] orbital is highly localized, being confined to the vicinity of the molecular core by a centrifugal barrier in its d-wave component. The existence of this barrier is also well known from the work on shape resonances in electron scattering...
