Electronic structure theory describes the properties of solids using Bloch states that correspond to highly symmetrical nuclear configurations. However, nuclear thermal motion destroys translation symmetry. Here, we describe two approaches relevant to the time evolution of electronic states in the presence of thermal fluctuations. On the one hand, the direct solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for a tight-binding model reveals the diabatic nature of time evolution. On the other hand, because of random nuclear configurations, the electronic Hamiltonian falls into the class of random matrices, which have universal features in their energy spectra. In the end, we discuss combining two approaches to obtain new insights into the influence of thermal fluctuations on electronic states.

Amoenucles A-F (1-6), six previously undescribed nucleoside derivatives, and two known analogs (7 and 8) were isolated from the culture of Aspergillus amoenus TJ507. Their structures were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and chemical reactions. Notably, 3 and 4 represent the first reported instances of nucleosides with an attached pyrrole moiety.

Uncommon diterpenoids with diverse frameworks, including one unexpected iodinated oxa-6/6/6/6-tetracyclic diterpene () and its monobrominated 6/6/6-tricyclic analogue () and one novel isodolastane-type diterpene featuring an unusual aromatic 5/7/6-tricyclic ring system () as well as a related known dolastane-type diterpenoid (), were isolated from the South China Sea sponge . Their structures, including absolute configurations, were established by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, and quantum mechanical-nuclear magnetic resonance and time-dependent density functional theory/electronic circular dichroism calculations. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of new compounds - was proposed.

Objective: The aim of this single-center case series is to demonstrate that an ultra-low dose (ULD) can be routinely achieved in the hybrid operating room in standard endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm by adjusting the manufacturer's predefined imaging parameters, hardware configurations and user protocols (including benchmarking).
Methods: The hybrid operating room manufacturer predefined EVAR software setup of the dose exposure control software (OPTIQ, Siemens Healthineers, Forchheim, Germany) at our university medical center was screened for possible improvements regarding radiation dose application. Tests on a water-equivalent as well as polymethyl methacrylate phantom model to assess the impact of technical settings were performed, including comparison of settings for exposure control software, different magnification, collimation configurations and detector distance.
