This letter highlights additional mathematical relationships between the Fermi-Löwdin orbital self-interaction correction (FLO-SIC) formalism and the localization equation constraints in SIC-DFT. We demonstrate this relationship analytically by highlighting symmetries in the mathematical expression for the gradient of E, which has not been previously shown in the scientific literature. To complement our analytical derivation, we also present additional numerical tests that allow us to investigate a possible accelerated-convergence technique that could be used when solving the iterative FLO-SIC equations. Taken together, our results highlight the importance of satisfying the localization equation constraints for obtaining accurate DFT energies, which we demonstrate are nearly satisfied in the FLO-SIC formalism.

Sources of HIV information and women's HIV knowledge in Southwest Sumba Indonesia: a cross-sectional study with mediation analysis.

Background: Despite multiple years of government HIV educational efforts, the growing trend of new cases among women in Indonesia runs parallel with their seemingly overall lack of comprehensive knowledge about HIV. A major prevention challenge for the Indonesian government lies in delivering HIV prevention education across the world's largest archipelago. This study investigates comprehensive HIV knowledge among reproductive-age women in Southwest Sumba, Indonesia, and the sources through which they report having learned about HIV along with potential mediators of the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and HIV knowledge.

We investigate the thermoelectric response of an Abrikosov vortex in type-II superconductors in the deep quantum limit. We consider two thermoelectric geometries, a type-II superconductor-insulator-normal-metal (S-I-N) junction and a local scanning tunneling microscope (STM)-tip normal metal probe over the superconductor. We exploit the strong breaking of particle-hole symmetry in vortex-bound states at subgap energies within the superconducting vortex to realize a giant thermoelectric response in the presence of fluxons.

Introduction: Adolescents' information management behaviors involve calibrating interactions between the self and parents, which could serve as either risk or protective factors for self-esteem. Since a sense of control over life outcomes is a protective factor for overall well-being, it might account for links between youth information management and self-esteem. This longitudinal study examined whether youth's sense of control mediated associations between concealment and voluntary disclosure and their self-esteem, at both the between- and within-person levels.

Automated guided vehicles play a crucial role in transportation and industrial environments. This paper presents a proposed Bio Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm for global path planning. The BPSO algorithm modifies the equation to update the particles' velocity using the randomly generated angles, which enhances the algorithm's searchability and avoids premature convergence.

In the context of community-based tourism, this study investigates the determinants of tourist loyalty to homestays, with a focus on sustainable rural tourism development in China. Using the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) framework, we propose a conceptual model to examine how connected experiences influence tourist emotions and, in turn, their loyalty. Data were gathered through onsite surveys of tourists, and structural equation modeling was applied to assess the relationships between key variables.
