We extend the previously proposed one-parameter double-hybrid density-functional theory [K. Sharkas, J. Toulouse, and A. Savin, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 064113 (2011)] to meta-generalized-gradient-approximation (meta-GGA) exchange-correlation density functionals. We construct several variants of one-parameter double-hybrid approximations using the Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS) meta-GGA funct...

Binding or potential energy curves have been calculated for the ground-state diatomics H(2)(+), He(2)(+), LiH(+), H(2), N(2), and C(2), for the transition state H(3), and for the triplet first excited state of H(2) using the nonempirical density functionals from the first three rungs of a ladder of approximations: the local spin density (LSD) approximation, the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) gene...

BACKGROUND Injection of bone marrow mononuclear cells has been reported to promote neovascularization of ischemic tissues effectively. We found that peripheral blood mononuclear cells were as efficient as bone marrow mononuclear cells for the treatment of limb ischemia in animals and showed that this treatment was feasible and safe in no-option patients with limb ischemia. However, the long-ter...

A supersaturated design is a design whose run size is not enough for estimating all the main effects. It is commonly used in screening experiment, where the goal is to identify sparse and dominant active effects with low cost. In this paper, we study a variable selection method via Dantzig selector, proposed by Candes and Tao (2007), to screen active effects. A graphical procedure and an automa...

Binding energy curves have been calculated for the ground-state rare-gas diatomics Ne(2) and Ar(2) and for the alkaline-earth diatomic Be(2) using the nonempirical density functionals from the first three rungs of a ladder of approximations: the local spin density (LSD) approximation, the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and the Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuser...
