Published: July 2010

This study emphasizes on the performance of six newly developed double-hybrid density functionals (DHDF) in explaining the potential energy curves of different carbondioxide rare-gas systems. The basis set sensitivity has also been explored with the use of three basis sets. Our results suggest that for lighter He/Ne-CO(2) complexes, proper choice of DHDF and basis set lead to results those matches exactly with earlier calculations and also with the experiment. On the other hand, for heavier Ar/Kr-CO(2) complexes although the equilibrium separation distance matches exactly with earlier observations, the interaction energy values lie far apart. The overall investigation emphasizes on the fact that one has to tune the methods and basis sets properly to achieve good and satisfactory results.

Sanfilippo syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type III, MPSIII) causes childhood dementia, while Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of adult-onset dementia. There is no cure for either of these diseases, and therapeutic options are extremely limited. Increasing evidence suggests commonalities in the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Light-driven molecular rotary motors are nanometric machines able to convert light into unidirectional motions. Several types of molecular motors have been developed to better respond to light stimuli, opening new avenues for developing smart materials ranging from nanomedicine to robotics. They have great importance in the scientific research across various disciplines, but a detailed comprehension of the underlying ultrafast photophysics immediately after photo-excitation, that is, Franck-Condon region characterization, is not fully achieved yet.

The article presents the results of research aimed at developing mathematical models for determining the components of grinding force occurring during the sharpening of the rake face of hob cutters. The development of the models was based on the results obtained during experimental tests conducted in the first stage of the research. The studies were carried out using a tool grinder and an aluminum oxide grinding wheel.

Background: As an umbrella term, social prescribing offers varied routes into society which promise to support, enhance, and empower individual citizens to take control of their own health and wellbeing. Globally healthcare systems are struggling to cope with the increasing demands of an ageing population and the NHS (UK) is no exception. Social prescribing is heralded as a means to relieve the burden on primary care and provide support for the 20% of patients whose needs are non-medical.

Least-squares tensor hypercontraction (LS-THC) has received some attention in recent years as an approach to reduce the significant computational costs of wave function-based methods in quantum chemistry. However, previous work has demonstrated that LS-THC factorization performs disproportionately worse in the description of wave function components (e.g.
