AI Article Synopsis
- The study conducts new direct-potential-fit (DPF) analyses of Be2's stimulated emission pumping spectra, focusing on rotational transitions in specific vibrational states.
- Two different analytical potential energy functions were used: the damped Morse/long-range potential and the Chebyshev polynomial expansion potential, both addressing long-range behavior in distinct ways.
- The results not only confirm the existence of the last vibrational level (v'' = 11) but also provide consistent predictions for this level and accurate estimates for equilibrium distance and well depth, aligning closely with previous theoretical calculations.
Article Abstract
We have performed new direct-potential-fit (DPF) analyses of the rotationally resolved A (1)Π(u)(ν'=2,3;J' =1,2)→X(1)Σ(+)(g) (ν" ∈[0,11];J" ∈[0,3]) stimulated emission pumping spectra of Be2 [J. M. Merritt, V. E. Bondybey, and M. C. Heaven, Science 324, 1548 (2009)] using two quite different analytical potential energy functions that incorporate the correct theoretically known long-range behaviour in different ways. These functions are: the damped Morse/long-range potential [R. J. Le Roy, C. C. Haugen, J. Tao, and H. Li, Mol. Phys. 109, 435 (2011)], and the Chebyshev polynomial expansion potential [L. Busevica, I. Klincare, O. Nikolayeva, M. Tamanis, R. Ferber, V. V. Meshkov, E. A. Pazyuk, and A. V. Stolyarov, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 104307 (2011)]. In contrast with the expanded Morse oscillator potential determined in the original DPF analysis of Merritt et al. [Science 324, 1548 (2009)], both of these functions unambiguously support the existence of the v″ = 11 last vibrational levels which is bound by only ∼0.5 cm(-1), and they give equivalent, essentially exact predictions for this level when using the original data set which ended at v″ = 10. These empirical potentials predict an equilibrium distance of re = 2.445(5) Å and a well depth of D(e) = 934.9(0.4) cm(-1), values which agree (within the uncertainties) with the best ab initio estimates of 2.444(10) Å and 935(10) cm(-1), respectively [J. Koput, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 13, 20311 (2011)].

Few sources have reported empirical social contact data from resource-poor settings. To address this shortfall, we recruited 1,363 participants from rural and urban areas of Mozambique during the COVID-19 pandemic, determining age, sex, and relation to the contact for each person. Participants reported a mean of 8.

Estimating the rate of penetration (ROP) is one of most critical tasks for evaluating the efficiency and profitability of drilling operation, which will aim in decision-making related to well planning, time estimation, cost estimation, bit selection, operational troubles, and logistics in drilling operation. The rise in unconventional resource development underscores the need for accurate ROP prediction to optimize drilling operations in these valuable reserves. ROP prediction and optimization in unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs are challenging due to the formations' heterogeneity, high strength, and brittleness.

Here, we introduce GSnet, a graph neural network (GNN) trained to predict physicochemical and geometric properties including solvation free energies, diffusion constants, and hydrodynamic radii, based on three-dimensional protein structures. By leveraging transfer learning, pre-trained GSnet embeddings were adapted to predict solvent-accessible surface area (SASA) and residue-specific p values, achieving high accuracy and generalizability.

Introduction: Excessive social media use, though considered unhealthy, is no longer formally categorized as an addiction or disorder, leading to a lack of consensus on this behavior. It raises concerns regarding the exclusion of Internet Addiction Disorder from the DSM-5-TR due to insufficient empirical evidence. This study investigates the serial mediating effects of positive and negative affect, fear of missing out, and offline and online self-presentation in the relationship between social media use and social media addiction.

Introduction: The consequences of aged living arrangements on mental health in the digital age have drawn significant research attention.
Methods: This study used empirical data to analyze the impact of living arrangements on the mental health of older adults by ordinary least squares (OLS) and to examine the moderating effect of Internet use in it through the moderating effect test. A total of 17,243 older adults were included in the analytical model.
