Fermionic-propagator and alternating-basis quantum Monte Carlo methods for correlated electrons on a lattice.

Ultracold-atom simulations of the Hubbard model provide insights into the character of charge and spin correlations in and out of equilibrium. The corresponding numerical simulations, on the other hand, remain a significant challenge. We build on recent progress in the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation of electrons in continuous space and apply similar ideas to the square-lattice Hubbard model.

Universal Magnetic Oscillations of dc Conductivity in the Incoherent Regime of Correlated Systems.

Using the dynamical mean field theory we investigate the magnetic field dependence of dc conductivity in the Hubbard model on the square lattice, fully taking into account the orbital effects of the field introduced via the Peierls substitution. In addition to the conventional Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillations, associated with the coherent cyclotron motion of quasiparticles and the presence of a well-defined Fermi surface, we find an additional oscillatory component with a higher frequency that corresponds to the total area of the Brillouin zone. These paradigm-breaking oscillations appear at elevated temperature.

Deciphering Imidazoline Off-targets by Fishing in the Class A of GPCR field.

Based on the finding that a central antihypertensive agent with high affinity for I1-type imidazoline receptors - rilmenidine, shows cytotoxic effects on cultured cancer cell lines, it has been suggested that imidazoline receptors agonists might have a therapeutic potential in the cancer therapy. Nevertheless, potential rilmenidine side effects caused by activation of α-adrenoceptors, or other associated receptors and enzymes, might hinder its therapeutic benefits. Considering that human α-adrenoceptors belong to the rhodopsin-like class A of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) it is reasonable to assume that imidazolines might have the affinity for other receptors from the same class.

Conductivity in the Square Lattice Hubbard Model at High Temperatures: Importance of Vertex Corrections.

Recent experiments on cold atoms in optical lattices allow for a quantitative comparison of the measurements to the conductivity calculations in the square lattice Hubbard model. However, the available calculations do not give consistent results, and the question of the exact solution for the conductivity in the Hubbard model remained open. In this Letter, we employ several complementary state-of-the-art numerical methods to disentangle various contributions to conductivity and identify the best available result to be compared to experiment.

The Forty-Sixth Euro Congress on Drug Synthesis and Analysis: Snapshot .

The 46th EuroCongress on Drug Synthesis and Analysis (ECDSA-2017) was arranged within the celebration of the 65th Anniversary of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia from 5-8 September 2017 to get together specialists in medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis, pharmaceutical analysis, screening of bioactive compounds, pharmacology and drug formulations; promote the exchange of scientific results, methods and ideas; and encourage cooperation between researchers from all over the world. The topic of the conference, "Drug Synthesis and Analysis," meant that the symposium welcomed all pharmacists and/or researchers (chemists, analysts, biologists) and students interested in scientific work dealing with investigations of biologically active compounds as potential drugs. The authors of this manuscript were plenary speakers and other participants of the symposium and members of their research teams.
