Accurate Rayleigh and Raman scattering cross sections, tensor components, depolarization ratios, and reversal coefficients for all rovibrational transitions within the X1Σg+ ground electronic state of H2 have been calculated. Raman spectra have been generated using these data. A method for calculating Raman scattering cross sections is formulated that is valid below the ionization threshold and in the region containing resonances, which explicitly accounts for all bound and dissociative vibrational levels of the bound intermediate electronic states and approximately accounts for the ionization continuum.

Article Synopsis
  • Urban areas face a lack of green spaces and increasing noise pollution, negatively affecting residents' health and wellbeing.
  • Our study explores how natural sounds (like bird songs) and different traffic speeds (20 mi/h and 40 mi/h) influence mood, revealing that natural sounds reduce anxiety while traffic noise raises stress levels.
  • We suggest that lowering traffic speeds and incorporating technology like electric vehicles, alongside urban planning for green spaces, could help combat noise pollution and improve urban living conditions.

Lesion studies have historically been instrumental for establishing causal connections between brain and behavior. They stand to provide additional insight if integrated with multielectrode techniques common in systems neuroscience. Here, we present and test a platform for creating electrolytic lesions through chronically implanted, intracortical multielectrode probes without compromising the ability to acquire neuroelectrophysiology.

There is a wide body of research on the effects of social media use on mental health, particularly focusing on young people. However, very little is known about the mental health of social media influencers (SMIs), who also tend to be quite young. This is of growing significance as more of our daily lives is conducted online, and in the context of poor population mental health globally, which declined further as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
