We present the implementation of the time-domain multichromophoric fluorescence resonant energy transfer (TC-MCFRET) approach in the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation (NISE) program. This method enables the efficient simulation of incoherent energy transfer between distinct segments within large and complex molecular systems, such as photosynthetic complexes. Our approach incorporates a segmentation protocol to divide these systems into manageable components and a modified thermal correction to ensure detailed balance.

This study aimed to evaluate whether PORT provides additional benefits for these cases.
Methods: We collected retrospective data from fourteen international hospitals, including resected pT1- and pT2-classified EAC SCC with negative surgical margins.
Loudness is a fundamental dimension of auditory perception. When hearing impairment results in a loudness deficit, hearing aids are typically prescribed to compensate for this. However, the relationship between an individual's specific hearing impairment and the hearing aid fitting strategy used to address it is usually not straightforward.
