Hydrogen bonds in two halides encapsulated by an azamacrocyclic receptor were studied in detail by the density functional theory (DFT) approaches at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) levels. The atoms in molecules (AIM) theory and the electron density difference maps were applied for characterizing the hydrogen bond patterns. The results suggest that the fluoride complex has a unique...

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of p-hydroxy-N-(p-methoxy benzylidene) aniline have been recorded in the region 4000-400 cm and 3500-100 cm, respectively. The optimized molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies in ground state have been calculated using density functional B3LYP methods (DFT) with 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The observed FT-IR and FT-Raman vibrational frequencies ...

Employing introductory (3-21G RHF) and medium-size (6-311++G∗∗ B3LYP) ab initio calculations, complete conformational libraries, containing as many as 27 conformers, have been determined for diamide model systems incorporating the amino acids valine (Val) and phenylalanine (Phe). Conformational and energetic properties of these libraries were analyzed. For example, significant correlation was f...

Quantum mechanical calculations of energies, geometries and vibrational wavenumbers of 2-fluoro-5-methylbenzonitrile (2F5MBN) have been carried out by using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p), cc-pvdz, Aug-cc-pvdz as basis sets. The optimized geometrical parameters obtained by DFT calculations are found to be in good agreement with experimental X-ray data. The best ...

Cryptosporidiosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Cryptosporidium spp., sometimes leading to severe diarrhea in humans and animals. In the present study, 311 parrots, belonging to four species, namely, Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus), Lovebirds (Agapornis sp.), Alexandrine parakeets (Psittacula eupatria), and Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus), from Beijing and Weifang cities, were exami...

Most machine learning algorithms are theoretically designed and practically applied with the consideration that the training data and test data arise from a common distribution. In several applications in natural language processing ranging from information extraction or sentiment analysis, classification algorithms are trained using a limited set of documents and applied generally to works spa...
