Published: October 2024

Total and three-body interaction energies are calculated for a benchmark set of three-body systems using a range of different types of density functional theory (DFT) methods, with the results compared to CCSD(T)/CBS results from the benchmark reference [ , , 28621-28637]. Inclusion of Hartree-Fock exchange, via either a global or range-separated hybrid approach or inclusion of empirical dispersion corrections, increases accuracy for total and three-body interactions. Basis set convergence testing shows that the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set is well converged with little to no change seen when using quadruple-ζ basis sets. The accuracy of the DFT methods is similar when calculating interaction energies for both global and local minimum structures. Overall, the CAM-B3LYP-D3BJ, B97D3, and ωB97XD functionals are recommended for calculating three-body interactions.

Understanding the kinematics of aerosol horizontal transport and vertical mixing near the surface, within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), and in the overlying free troposphere (FT) is critical for various applications, including air quality and weather forecasting, aviation, road safety, and dispersion modeling. Empirical evidence of aerosol mixing processes within the ABL during synoptic-scale events over arid and semiarid regions (i.e.

Biological variation in laboratory results refers to physiological fluctuations that occur around a homeostatic setpoint (HSP) for various laboratory measurands. Assessment of biological variation includes determining individual variation (CV), group variation (CV), and analytical variation (CV). Reference change value (RCV) is an objective tool for an evidence-based approach to interpret data by assessing the significance of consecutive results in an individual for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of disease.

Noncovalent interactions (NCI) play a central role in numerous physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. An accurate description of NCI is the key to success for any theoretical study in such areas. Although quantum mechanics (QM) methods such as dispersion-corrected density functional theory are sufficiently accurate, their applications are practical only for <300 atoms and <100 ps of simulation time.

Background: Scrapie is an infectious prion disease in sheep. Selective breeding for resistant genotypes of the prion protein gene (PRNP) is an effective way to prevent scrapie outbreaks. Genotyping all selection candidates in a population is expensive but existing pedigree records can help infer the probabilities of genotypes in relatives of genotyped animals.
