The capability of coarse-grained models based on the MARTINI mapping to reproduce the gel-liquid phase transition in saturated and unsaturated model lipids was investigated. We found that the model is able to reproduce a ...

The electromagnetic structure of Sm140 was studied in a low-energy Coulomb excitation experiment with a radioactive ion beam from the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. The 2+ and 4+ states of the ground-state band and a second ...

A detailed account of the Kohn–Sham (KS) algorithm from quantum chemistry, formulated rigorously in the very general setting of convex analysis on Banach spaces, is given here. Starting from a Levy–Lieb-type functional, ...

We present a generalization of the divide–expand–consolidate (DEC) framework for local coupled-cluster calculations to periodic systems and test it at the second-order Møller–Plesset (MP2) level of theory. For simple model ...

In this communication, we report the synthesis and characterization of a library of small molecule antagonists of the human gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor based upon the 2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-piperazinyl-benzimidazole ...

The topology of twisted molecular rings is characterized by the linking number, which is equal to the sum of the twist—a local property of the molecular frame—and the writhe—a global parameter, which represents the bending ...

The total level of phosphorus (P) and the distribution of P pools in the topsoil are significantly affected by the excessive application of mineral and organic fertilizers connected with intensive agriculture. This leads ...

Magnetic and spectroscopic properties of a number of formally antiaromatic carbaporphyrins, carbathiaporphyrins and isophlorins with 4n π electrons have been investigated at density functional theory and ab initio levels ...

The aim of this work has been the photoelectrochemical (PEC) study of nanostructured photoanodes based on TiO2. Highly ordered and well adhered TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) of different lengths (∼2–20 μm) were prepared in a ...

Luminescent europium titanium oxides (EuxTiyOz) have been deposited as thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the temperature range 225 to 375 °C with control of the stoichiometry from pure TiO2 to pure Eu2O3, and ...
