We examine the dependences of the single and double ionization probabilities of NO radical on the angle between the NO axis and the laser polarization direction in an intense laser field (790 nm, 100 fs, 1-10 × 10 W/cm) and show that the double ionization is enhanced when the NO axis is parallel to the laser polarization direction. We reveal that the angular dependence of the sequential double ionization probability is determined by the shape of the 5σ orbital of NO from which the second photoelectron is emitted in the ionization from NO to NO. We also reveal that the fast oscillation in the probability of the tunnel ionization of NO originating from a coherent superposition of the two spin-orbit components in the electronic ground XΠ state is described well based on the molecular Ammosov-Delone-Krainov (MO-ADK) theory in which the time evolution of the electron density distribution of the 2π orbital is taken into account.

Background/objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of oral probiotic supplementation in preventing vulvovaginal infections (VVIs) in pregnant women, specifically focusing on abnormal vaginal flora (AVF), bacterial vaginosis (BV), and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).

Methods: A multicenter-prospective-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted during 2016-2019. Women with normal vaginal flora (Nugent score < 4 and no candida) were divided into a research group, receiving 2 capsules/day of oral probiotic formula containing , , , , , and , or a control group, receiving a placebo until delivery.

Sphalerite flotation is generally achieved by copper activation followed by xanthate collection. This study aims to propose a design idea to find novel collectors from the perspective of molecular design and prove the theoretical feasibility that the collector can effectively recover sphalerite without copper activation. To address this, 30 compounds containing different structures of sulfur atoms and different neighboring atoms were designed based on coordination chemistry.

The formation of following the double ionization of small organic compounds via a roaming mechanism, which involves the generation of H and subsequent proton abstraction, has recently garnered significant attention. Nonetheless, a cohesive model explaining trends in the yield of characterizing these unimolecular reactions is yet to be established. We report yield and femtosecond time-resolved measurements following the strong-field double ionization of CHX molecules, where X = OD, Cl, NCS, CN, SCN, and I.

Article Synopsis
  • The study used a hybrid B3LYP version of Density Functional Theory to analyze the properties of mustard-type cancer drugs, melphalan and bendamustine, in water, focusing on their geometry, vibrational characteristics, and various electrical properties.
  • Findings showed that these drugs have low ionization energies, indicating significant antioxidant potential, with melphalan's zwitterionic form being more stable in water compared to bendamustine's.
  • Advanced calculations using the DLPNO-CCSD(T) method confirmed that the canonical form of bendamustine is more stable in water than its zwitterionic counterpart, along with noting particularly high dipole moments for some structures.
