The radical reaction mechanism of FCO + NO on the ground electronic state energy surface has been studied at the G2M level of theory based on the geometric parameters optimized at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level of theory. The two kinds of reaction pathways include the direct fluorine abstraction channel producing CO + FNO and the association channel forming the FC(O)NO complex. The former has a distinct barrier of 8.9 kcal mol(-1), while the latter is a barrierless association process. The rate constant of this reaction system in the temperature range 200-3000 K has been calculated by the microcanonical VTST/RRKM theory. The theoretical result shows that the predicted total rate constants exhibit a negative-temperature dependence and positive-pressure effect at lower temperatures. Under the experimental conditions, the predicted values are in good agreement with the experimental results. In addition, the predicted branching ratios clearly indicate that the dominant product channel is the formation of FC(O)NO at low temperatures and FNO + CO at high temperatures (>500 K).

Density-dependent distributions of hosts and parasitoids resulting from density-independent dispersal rules: implications for host-parasitoid interactions and population dynamics.

Background: The distribution of hosts and parasitoids across patches is a key factor determining the dynamics of host-parasitoid populations. To connect behavioral rules with population dynamics, it is essential to comprehend how individual-level dispersal behavior influences the distribution of individuals. Typically, a simple deterministic model has been used to describe this connection.

Background: Sleep is substantial issue for hospital inpatients and can negatively affect healing and recovery. There is a good evidence-base for interventions which can improve sleep, however currently they are not being implemented into NHS practice. To address the evidence-practice gap, we have conducted early-phase development for an inpatient sleep intervention (ASLEEP); a multi-level intervention to improve inpatient sleep in UK hospital wards.

Background: We sought to define whether and how hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) as manifested by perioperative aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) levels impact long-term outcomes after curative-intent resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Patients And Methods: Intrasplenic injection of HCC cells was used to establish a murine model of HCC recurrence with versus without I/R injury. Patients who underwent curative resection for HCC were identified from a multi-institutional derivative cohort (DC) and separate external validation (VC) cohort.

Machine learning plays an important role in quantum chemistry, providing fast-to-evaluate predictive models for various properties of molecules; however, most existing machine learning models for molecular electronic properties use density functional theory (DFT) databases as ground truth in training, and their prediction accuracy cannot surpass that of DFT. In this work we developed a unified machine learning method for electronic structures of organic molecules using the gold-standard CCSD(T) calculations as training data. Tested on hydrocarbon molecules, our model outperforms DFT with several widely used hybrid and double-hybrid functionals in terms of both computational cost and prediction accuracy of various quantum chemical properties.

Sustainable development is a hot topic of global concern and sustainable human settlements (HS) are crucial to people's happiness. Thus, strengthening the construction of HS will help enrich human settlements geography with theories of HS interactions, clarify the existing problems of the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration (CC), promote the harmonization of the human-land relationship, and realize the SDGs. The results were as follows.
