Article Abstract

Projection-based quantum embedding methodologies provide a framework for performing wave function-in-density functional theory (WF-in-DFT) calculations. The total WF-in-DFT energy is dependent on the partitioning of the total system and requires similar partitioning in each system for accurate energy differences. To achieve this, we enforce an absolute localization of the WF orbitals to basis functions only associated with the WF subsystem. This absolute localization, followed by iterative optimization of the subsystems' orbitals, provides improved energy differences for WF-in-DFT while simultaneously improving the computational efficiency.

Effects of sex and heating rate on skin blood flow oscillations during local heating in young adults.

to explore sex and heating rate effects on frequency-domain indicators of the mechanisms modulating cutaneous vasodilation during local heating. In thirty young adults (21±3 years, 15 females), wavelet analysis of skin blood flux was assessed from laser-Doppler flux signals at the chest, abdomen, arm, forearm, thigh, and calf during rapid (33-42°C; 1°C·20 s) and gradual (33-42°C; 1°C·5 min) local skin heating. A wavelet transform using a Morlet mother wavelet was computed over the entire signal for each heating protocol (minimum 90 minutes) and 5-min time windows were subsequently isolated to determine responses during baseline and the 42°C heating plateau.

Background: The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for accurate staging and prognosis for esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ELN count on pathologic staging and survival outcomes and to develop a predictive model for lymph node positivity in this patient population.

Methods: Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and a multicenter cohort.

The energy landscape of folding in n-C14H30 described by a machine-learned potential.

Folding and unfolding in molecules as simple as short hydrocarbons and as complicated as large proteins continue to be an active research field. Here, we investigate folding in n-C14H30 using both density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP calculations of 27 772 local minima and a kinetic transition network calculated for a previously reported potential energy surface (PES) obtained by fitting roughly 250 000 B3LYP energies. In addition to generating a database of minima and the transition states that connect them, these calculations and the PES based on them have been used to develop a simple and accurate model for the energy landscape.

Purpose: The development of on-board cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has led to improved target localization and evaluation of patient anatomical change throughout the course of radiation therapy. HyperSight, a newly developed on-board CBCT platform by Varian, has been shown to improve image quality and HU fidelity relative to conventional CBCT. The purpose of this study is to benchmark the dose calculation accuracy of Varian's HyperSight cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on the Halcyon platform relative to fan-beam CT-based dose calculations and to perform end-to-end testing of HyperSight CBCT-only based treatment planning.
