Recent progress on the coordinate-momentum (CPS) formulation of finite-state quantum systems has revealed that the triangle window function approach is an isomorphic representation of the exact population-population correlation function of the two-state system. We use the triangle window (TW) function and the CPS mapping kernel element to formulate a novel useful representation of discrete electronic degrees of freedom (DOFs). When it is employed with nonadiabatic field (NaF) dynamics, a new variant of the NaF approach (i.e., NaF-TW) is proposed. The NaF-TW expression of the population of any adiabatic state is always positive semidefinite. Extensive benchmark tests of model systems in both the condensed phase and gas phase demonstrate that the NaF-TW approach is able to faithfully capture the dynamical interplay between electronic and nuclear DOFs in a broad region, including where the states remain coupled all the time, as well as where the bifurcation characteristic of nuclear motion is important.

Newborn genomic sequencing (NBSeq) has the potential to substantially improve early detection of rare genetic conditions, allowing for pre-symptomatic treatment to optimize outcomes. Expanding conceptions of the clinical utility of NBSeq include earlier access to behavioral early intervention to support the acquisition of core motor, cognitive, communication, and adaptive skills during critical windows in early development. However, important questions remain about equitable access to early intervention programs for the growing number of infants identified with a genetic condition via NBSeq.

Rationale: G-protein biased mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists have been reported to exhibit superior therapeutic windows compared to prototypical MOR agonists when relating antinociception to respiratory depression. However, there is relatively little research on the abuse potential of G-protein biased MOR agonists in relation to other behavioral endpoints.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to quantitatively compare the reinforcing, antinociceptive, and respiratory-depressant effects of the prototypical MOR agonists, fentanyl and oxycodone, to the G-protein biased MOR agonists, SR14968 and SR17018, in male and female rats.

Background: Coal-fired power plants are major contributors of ambient sulfur dioxide (SO) air pollution. Epidemiological literature suggests an adverse association between SO exposure during gestation and preterm birth (PTB; <37 weeks completed gestation). PTB is strongly associated with infant mortality and increased risk for later life morbidities.
