Drosophila GGA Model: An Ultimate Gateway to GGA Analysis

How reliable are DFT transition structures? Comparison of GGA, hybrid-meta-GGA and meta-GGA functionals.

There have been many comparisons of computational methods applied to ground states, but studies of organic reactions usually require calculations on transition states, and these provide a different test of the methods. We present calculations of the geometries of nineteen covalent-bond forming transition states using HF and twelve different functionals, including GGA, hybrid-GGA and hybrid meta...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by subepidermal vesicles and the presence of autoantibodies directed against the epidermal basement membrane zone. Previous studies have identified two protein components of the hemidesmosome, BP180 and BP230, as the primary antigenic targets of BP autoantibodies. We have recently reported the isolation of a 1.0-kb BP180 cDNA. Seque...

Construction of an optimal GGA functional for molecules and solids

The specialized exchange-correlation functionals of Wu and Cohen [Phys. Rev. B 73, 235116 (2006)] (WC) and Hammer et al. [Phys. Rev. B 59, 7413 (1999)] [revised Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof (RPBE)] yield good results for either the lattice constants of solids or the atomization energies of molecules, respectively, but are rather poor for the opposite quantity. By combining the WC and RPBE funct...

A Generalized Cell Formation Problem Solved by an Adapted Gga

This paper addresses the cell formation problem with alternative process plans and machine capacity constraints. The problem of Generalized Cell Formation consists in defining the preferential process and the preferential routing for each part optimizing the grouping of machines into independent manufacturing cells. The problem is reduced in two grouping problems: grouping operations (including...
