Theoretical and computational modeling of nonequilibrium processes in warm dense matter represents a significant challenge. The electron-ion relaxation process in warm dense hydrogen is investigated here by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics using the constrained electron force field (CEFF) method. CEFF evolves wave packets that incorporate dynamic quantum diffraction that obviates the Coulomb catastrophe. Predictions from this model reveal temperature relaxation times as much as three times longer than prior molecular dynamics results based on quantum statistical potentials. Through analyses of energy distributions and mean free paths, this result can be traced to delocalization. Finally, an improved GMS [Gericke, Murillo, and Schlanges, Phys. Rev. E 78, 025401 (2008)PRESCM1539-375510.1103/PhysRevE.78.025401] model is proposed, in which the Coulomb logarithms are in good agreement with CEFF results.

Exact exchange contributions included in density functional theory calculations have rendered excellent electronic structure results on both cold and extremely hot matter. In this work, we develop a mixed deterministic-stochastic resolution-of-the-identity compressed exchange (mRICE) method for efficient calculation of exact and hybrid electron exchange, suitable for applications alongside mixed stochastic-deterministic density functional theory. mRICE offers accurate calculations of the electronic structure at a largely reduced computation time compared to other compression algorithms, such as Lin's adaptive compressed exchange, for the warm dense matter.

We present two methods for computing the dynamic structure factor for warm dense hydrogen without invoking either the Born-Oppenheimer approximation or the Chihara decomposition, by employing a wave-packet description that resolves the electron dynamics during ion evolution. First, a semiclassical method is discussed, which is corrected based on known quantum constraints, and second, a direct computation of the density response function within the molecular dynamics. The wave-packet models are compared to PIMC and DFT-MD for the static and low-frequency behavior.

- The obligate intracellular parasite replicates within a compartment called the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and utilizes a protein ingestion pathway to take in nutrients from the host cell's cytosol, initiated by the protein GRA14.
- A genome-wide CRISPR screen revealed that mutants lacking components of this ingestion pathway (GRA14, CPL, or CRT) are forced to rely more on alternative metabolic pathways to survive, such as pyrimidine and fatty acid biosynthesis.
- Analysis showed that these ingestion-deficient mutants had lower levels of key nutrients and growth defects when amino acids were scarce, indicating that the ingestion pathway plays a crucial role in nutrient acquisition during resource-limited conditions.
