We compute oscillator strengths with the ONIOM (Our own N-layer Integrated molecular Orbital molecular Mechanics) hybrid method between ground and valence excited states and compare the results with the high level of theory equation of motion coupled cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD). This work follows our previous studies in which we validated the ability of ONIOM to compute accurate transition energies compared to EOM-CCSD. We test various levels of theory and molecular systems, as well as the effect of the link atom bond length. Our results show that oscillator strengths can be accurately computed with ONIOM, provided that a sensible choice of the partitioning and of the low level method is made. Being able to calculate both the transition energy and the oscillator strength, ONIOM represents a promising approach to completely characterize valence excited states of molecules that are too large to be studied with a conventional high-accuracy method.

Synaptic plasticity plays a fundamental role in neuronal dynamics, governing how connections between neurons evolve in response to experience. In this study, we extend a network model of θ-neuron oscillators to include a realistic form of adaptive plasticity. In place of the less tractable spike-timing-dependent plasticity, we employ recently validated phase-difference-dependent plasticity rules, which adjust coupling strengths based on the relative phases of θ-neuron oscillators.

Given their molecular properties and electronic structure, graphyne and graphdiyne are promising materials with numerous applications in different fields of material science. Dehydrobenzoannules (DBAs) are candidates that can serve as building blocks for synthesizing and designing new 2D carbon allotropes; however, only a few graphynes have been produced on a practical scale. Herein, we present our investigation of three DBAs, which serve as a model to understand the relationship between the structure and property, contributing to 2D carbon allotropes' rational design and synthetic effort.

Observing quantum mechanical characteristics in biological processes is a surprising and important discovery. One example, which is gaining more experimental evidence and practical applications, is the effect of weak magnetic fields with extremely low frequencies on cells, especially cancerous ones. In this study, we use a mathematical model of ROS dynamics in cancer cells to show how ROS oscillatory patterns can act as a resonator to amplify the small effects of the magnetic fields on the radical pair dynamics in mitochondrial Complex III.
