The present work outlines the implementation and performance of two cost efficient post-SCF extensions into the third-order SCC-DFTB code. The first one, the charge model 3 (CM3), corrects for errors in bond dipoles for an improved description of molecular charge distribution as compared to the standard Mulliken parti…

A series of novel lipids with designed functionalities were synthesized. These lipids are based on conjugation of α-amino acids and their esters, cationic, anionic, neutral, and photochromic moieties to the lipophilic 9-cis octadecenyl chains by amide, ester, thioester, or amine bonds. Because of the plasticity of lip…

Despite the pre-operative availability of well-defined criteria to create a primary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) a high early failure/missing maturation is complained worldwide. Based on new results from basic research using numerical techniques, the authors try to guide attention to a widely neglected field in publish…

MauG catalyzes posttranslational modifications of methylamine dehydrogenase to complete the biosynthesis of its protein-derived tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor. MauG possesses a five-coordinate high-spin and a six-coordinate low-spin ferric heme, the latter with His-Tyr ligation. Replacement of this tyrosi…

In this work we present a theoretical investigation of the attachment of catechol and isonicotinic acid to the rutile-TiO(2)(110) surface. These molecules can be considered as prototypical dyes for use in Grätzel type dye sensitised solar cells (DSCs) and are often employed as anchoring groups in both organic and orga…

Aqueous microdroplets introduced in ionic liquids (ILs) provide unique interfaces where surface-modified protein microcapsules are spontaneously formed at systemic temperature. The susceptibility of proteins to form microcapsules at the water-IL microinterface depends on protein species and is related to the number of…

A study of the microstructural characteristics of laser arc hybrid welded nickel based IN738 superalloy was performed. Laser arc hybrid welding produced a desirable weld profile in the alloy, similar to what is usually obtained during laser beam welding, and no cracking occurred exclusively in the fusion zone. Element…

An investigation of the precise determination of melting temperature in the modified Lennard-Jones system under pressure-free conditions [Y. Asano and K. Fuchizaki, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 78, 055002 (2009)] was extended under finite-pressure conditions to obtain the phase diagram. The temperature and pressure of the tripl…

We have analyzed the dynamic phase transition of the kinetic Ising model in mean-field approximation by means of an analytical approach. Specifically, we study the evolution of the system under the simultaneous influence of time-dependent and time-independent magnetic fields. We demonstrate that within the approximate…

Fundamental insight regarding what drives polymer blend immiscibility/miscibility requires understanding the enthalpic and entropic contributions to the free energy of mixing. In this modeling investigation we show that two quantities, connected to the molecular characterization parameters, serve as separate “controls…

We propose a method for enhancing depth-of-field, in which the spot size on a marginal depth plane is reduced. This method is implemented in a projection-type integral imaging system using a negative lens array without a diffuser. Numerical simulation results show that the spot size is merely 5.7% of that in a convent…
