X-Ray and related spectroscopies are powerful probes of atomic, vibrational, and electronic structure. In order to unlock the full potential of such experimental techniques, accurate and efficient theoretical and computational approaches are essential. Here we review the status of a variety of first-principles and nearly first principles techniques for X-ray spectroscopies such as X-ray absorption, X-ray emission, and X-ray photoemission, with a focus on Green's function based methods. In particular, we describe the current state of multiple scattering Green's function techniques available in the FEFF10 code and cumulant Green's function techniques for including the effects of many-body electronic excitations. Illustrative examples are shown for a variety of materials and compared with other theoretical and experimental results.

Toward Collective Chemistry under Strong Light-Matter Coupling.
J Phys Chem Lett

Collective strong light-matter coupling provides a versatile means to manipulate physicochemical properties of molecules and materials. Understanding collective polaritonic dynamics is hindered by the macroscopic number of molecules interacting collectively with photonic modes. We develop a many-body theory to investigate the spectroscopy and dynamics of a molecular ensemble embedded in an optical cavity in the collective strong coupling regime.

However, high-quality daughters ensure that grandoffspring receive quality parental care and may possess greater reproductive value than their brothers, favoring daughters also from high-quality mothers. Using a mixed cross-fostering approach, we investigated effects of early rearing conditions, covariance between breeders and their genetic parents in parental quality, and primary offspring sex ratios in Carolina wrens.

Monolayer 1T' ZrCl exhibits unique ferroelastic behavior with three structurally distinct variants (O1, O2, and O3), demonstrating potential for next-generation nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. This study investigates the electronic transport and optoelectronic properties of the O1 and O3 variants, with O3 serving as a representative for both O2 and O3 due to their structural symmetry. First-principles calculations and non-equilibrium Green's function analysis reveal that the O1 variant possesses exceptional electronic properties, including high electron mobility (1.

Background: Less than one-third of sub-Saharan Africans have access to improved water sources. In US, Indian, and African studies, Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is increased among women with poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). We examined water source, sanitation (latrine type), and rainfall in relation to the vaginal microbiome (VMB).

Objective: The resiliency of patients who have advanced heart failure (HF) and undergo a physical stressor such as heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device implantation has yet to be studied in the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains. The primary aim of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility of a multidomain resiliency assessment in patients who have advanced HF and require surgery.
Methods: A battery of assessments in each of the domains was completed at baseline before surgical intervention, after intensive care discharge, and 3 and 6 months after surgery.
