Quantitative descriptions of strongly correlated materials pose a considerable challenge in condensed matter physics and chemistry. A promising approach to address this problem is quantum embedding methods. In particular, the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) maps original system an effective impurity model comprising orbitals embedded electron bath. The biggest bottleneck DMFT calculations nu...

Postzygotic reproductive isolation (RI) plays an important role in speciation. According to the stage at which it functions and the symptoms it displays, postzygotic RI can be called hybrid inviability, hybrid weakness or necrosis, hybrid sterility, or hybrid breakdown. In this review, we summarized new findings about hybrid incompatibilities in plants, most of which are from studies on Arabido...

We introduce the notion of hybrid trapdoor commitment schemes. Intuitively a hybrid trapdoor commitment scheme is a primitive which can be either an unconditionally binding commitment scheme or a trapdoor commitment scheme depending on the distribution of commitment parameters. Moreover, such two possible distributions are computationally indistinguishable. Hybrid trapdoor commitments are relat...

in this paper, we consider scheduling of project networks under minimization of total weighted resource tardiness penalty costs. in this problem, we assume constrained resources are renewable and limited to very costly machines and tools which are also used in other projects and are not accessible in all periods of time of a project. in other words, there is a dictated ready date as well as a d...

In this paper, a new class of hybrid impulsive and switching models are introduced. Using switched Lyapunov functions, some new general criteria for exponential stability and asymptotic stability of hybrid impulsive and switched nonlinear systems are established. Further more, a new hybrid impulsive and switching control strategy for the nonlinear systems is developed to improve the system perf...

Approximate simulation relations have recently been introduced as a powerful tool for the approximation of discrete and continuous systems. In this paper, we extend this abstraction framework to hybrid systems. Using the notion of simulation functions, we develop a characterization of approximate simulation relations which can be used for hybrid systems approximation. For several classes of hyb...

in this work, we dissect the performance of  two modern perdew-burke-ernzerhof (pbe)-based double-hybrid (dh) density functionals to predict the isotropic and anisotropic polarizabilities of water nanoclusters (h2o)n [n = 2-6]. the considered models include the cubic integrand (ci) and quadratic integrand (qi) functions as well as the spin-opposite-scaled (sos) scheme for perturbative correlati...
