Direct calculation of electron spin relaxation and EPR lineshapes, based on Brownian dynamics simulation techniques and the stochastic Liouville equation approach (SLE-L) [Mol. Phys., 2004, 102, 1085-1093], is here generalized to high spin systems with spin quantum number S = 3/2, 2, 5/2, 3 and 7/2. A direct calculation method is demonstrated for electron spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation, S-, X- and Q-band EPR-lineshapes and paramagnetic enhanced water proton T(1)- NMRD profiles. The main relaxation mechanism for the electron spin system is a stochastic second rank zero field splitting (ZFS). Brownian dynamics simulation techniques are used in describing a fluctuating ZFS interaction which comprises two parts namely the "permanent" part which is modulated by isotropic reorientation diffusion, and the transient part which is modulated by fast local distortion, which is also modelled by the isotropic rotation diffusion model. The SLE-L approach present is applicable both in the perturbation (Redfield) regime as well as outside the perturbation regime, in the so called slow motion regime.

Background: An association exists between obesity and reduced testosterone levels in males. The propose of this research is to reveal the correlation between 15 indices linked to obesity and lipid levels with the concentration of serum testosterone, and incidence of testosterone deficiency (TD) among adult American men.
Methods: The study utilized information gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) carried out from 2011 to 2016.

Background: Stroke has devastating consequences for survivors. Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor, and its management largely takes place in primary care. However, most stroke-based research does not occur in this setting.

Developing efficient strategies for the deoxygenative functionalization of carbonyl compounds is crucial for enhancing the effective utilization of biomass and the upgrading of chemical feedstocks. In this study, we present an elegant cathodic reduction strategy that enables a tandem alkylation/dearomatization reaction between quinoline derivatives and aryl aldehydes/ketones in a one-pot process. Our approach can be executed via two distinct paths: the aluminum (Al)-facilitated spin-center shift (SCS) path and the Al-facilitated direct deoxygenation path.

This work represents different spectrophotometric techniques for concurrent quantification of Indacaterol (IND) and Mometasone furoate (MOM); co-formulated inhalation capsules to control asthma symptoms. Direct spectrophotometric (D) approach was applied for IND assay. While, absorption factor (AF), ratio difference (RD), mean centering of the ratio spectra (MC), and continuous wavelet transform (CW) techniques were utilized for MOM quantification.

Ammonia (NH) is crucial in fine particulate matter (PM) formation, but past estimations on industrial NH emissions remain highly uncertain. In this study, the flow of NH within air pollution control devices (APCDs) were investigated basing on material flow analysis with in-situ measurements of NH concentrations at the inlets and outlets of each APCD. Then, by combing emission factors updated with recent in-situ measurements and provincial-level activity data from statistical yearbooks and associated reports, NH emissions from various industrial sources, as well as their spatial distribution across China in 2020, were evaluated.
