Abstract

The formalism based on the total energy bifunctional (E[ρI,ρII]) is used to derive interaction energies for several hydrogen-bonded complexes (water dimer, HCN–HF, H2CO–H2O, and MeOH–H2O). Benchmark ab initio data taken from the literature were used as a reference in the assessment of the performance of gradient-free [local density approximation (LDA)] and gradient-dependent [generalized gradient approximation (GGA)] approximations to the exchange-correlation and nonadditive kinetic-energy components of E[ρI,ρII]. On average, LDA performs better than GGA. The average absolute error of calculated LDA interaction energies amounts to 1.0 kJ/mol. For H2CO–H2O and H2O–H2O complexes, the potential-energy curves corresponding to the stretching of the intermolecular distance are also calculated. The positions of the minima are in a good agreement (less than 0.2 Å) with the reference ab initio data. Both variational and nonvariational calculations are performed to assess the energetic effects associated with complexation-induced deformations of molecular electron densities.

Abstract

An approach in which the total energy of interacting subsystems is expressed as a bifunctional depending explicitly on two functions: electron densities of the two molecules forming a complex (ρ[sub 1] and ρ[sub 2]) was used to determine the equilibrium geometry and the binding energy of several weak intermolecular complexes involving carbazole and such atoms or molecules as Ne, Ar, CH[sub 4], CO, and N[sub 2]. For these complexes, the experimental dissociation energies fall within the range from 0.48 to 2.06 kcal/mol. Since the effect of the intermolecular vibrations on the dissociation energy is rather small, the experimental measurements provide an excellent reference set. The obtained interaction energies are in a good agreement with experiment and are superior to the ones derived from conventional Kohn–Sham calculations. A detailed analysis of relative contribution of the terms which are expressed using approximate functionals (i.e., exchange-correlation E[sub xc][ρ[sub 1]+ρ[sub 2]] and nonadditive kinetic energy T[sub s][sup nad][ρ[sub 1],ρ[sub 2]]=T[sub s][ρ[sub 1]+ρ[sub 2]]-T[sub s][ρ[sub 1]]-T[sub s][ρ[sub 2]]) is made. The nonvariational version of the applied formalism is also discussed. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Motivation: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community‐led open‐source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included: The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain: BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km² (158 cm²) to 100 km² (1,000,000,000,000 cm²). Time period and grain: BioTIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement: BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates. Software format: .csv and .SQL.

Abstract

Numerous anthropogenic activities threaten the biodiversity found on earth. Because all ecological communities constantly experience temporal turnover due to natural processes, it is important to distinguish between change due to anthropogenic impact and the underlying natural rate of change. In this study, we used data sets on breeding bird communities that covered at least 20 consecutive years, from a variety of terrestrial ecosystems, to address two main questions. (1) How fast does the composition of bird communities change over time, and can we identify a baseline of natural change that distinguishes primeval systems from systems experiencing varying degrees of human impact? (2) How do patterns of temporal variation in composition vary among bird communities in ecosystems with different anthropogenic impacts? Time lag analysis (TLA) showed a pattern of increasing rate of temporal compositional change from large-scale primeval systems to disturbed and protected systems to distinctly successional systems. TLA slopes of 0.04. Most of the temporal variability of breeding bird communities was explained by slow changes occurring over decades, regardless of the intensity of human impact. In most of the time series, medium- and short-wave periodicity was not detected, with the exception of breeding bird communities subjected to periodic pulses (e.g. caterpillar outbreaks causing food resource peaks)., Numerous anthropogenic activities threaten the biodiversity found on earth.

25. An experimental and theoretical study of [RhCl(PF<SUB>3</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB>]<SUB>2</SUB> fragmentation

Abstract

Experimental and theoretical techniques have been applied to study the decomposition of the [RhCl(PF3)2]2 molecule which is known as a precursor in electron beam induced deposition (EBID) of Rh. Mass spectrometry (MS) has been carried out to study the electron ionisation and fragmentation of isolated molecules. Auger electron spectroscopy has been used to characterize the EBID deposit. The MS data indicate the presence of free phosphorus and rhodium ions. This is in agreement with the analysis of the composition of the EBID deposit containing: 60% Rh, 12–25% P, 2–13% Cl, no F, 3–20% O and N. Theoretical calculations (density functional theory) has been used to characterize the precursor molecule and to derive the enthalpies of several simple decomposition reactions. The calculated geometries are in a good agreement with the available X-ray crystallographic data. The [RhCl(PF3)2]2 appears not to be rigid: the PF3 groups can rotate with a relatively low barrier (0.6 kcal mol−1) whereas the barrier for the butterfly-like motion of (RhCl)2 moiety is only 3.5 kcal mol−1. According to the theoretical results, the lowest energy pathway of the decomposition corresponds to a consecutive loss of PF3 ligands, resulting in a (RhCl)2 moiety (without phosphorus). The same conclusion is also valid for the ionised precursor. Experimental data combined with the theoretical results concerning the energetics of the considered various simple decomposition processes indicate that the electron induced dissociation of the precursor cannot be seen as a simple one-step decomposition process.

26. Physisorption of Molecular Hydrogen on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons:  A Theoretical Study

Author

Tran, F., Weber, J., Wesolowski, T. A., Cheikh, F., Ellinger, Y., and Pauzat, F.

Abstract

The repartition of molecular hydrogen in space, and its depletion on solid particles in particular, is an important question of modern astrophysics. In this paper, we report a theoretical study of the physisorption of molecular hydrogen, H2, on a major component of the interstellar dust known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Two different density functional theory approaches were used:  (i) the conventional Kohn−Sham theory and (ii) the subsystem-based approach (Kohn−Sham equations with constrained electron density, KSCED) developed in our group. The approximate exchange-correlation energy functional applied in all calculations and the nonadditive kinetic-energy functional needed in KSCED have a generalized gradient approximation form and were chosen on the basis of our previous studies. The results of both approaches show similar trends:  weak dependence of the calculated interaction energies on the size of the PAH and negligible effect of the complexation of two PAH molecules on the adsorption of molecular hydrogen. The KSCED interaction energy calculated for the largest considered PAH (ovalene), amounting to 1.27 kcal/mol, is in excellent agreement with experimental estimates ranging from 1.1 to 1.2 kcal/mol, whereas the one derived from supermolecular Kohn−Sham calculations is underestimated by more than 50%. This result is in line with our previous studies, which showed that the generalized gradient approximation applied within the KSCED framework leads to interaction energies of weakly bound complexes that are superior to the corresponding results of supermolecular Kohn−Sham calculations.

Abstract

We argue with Kryachko's criticism [Int J Quantum Chem 2005, 103, 818] of the original proof of the second Hohenberg-Kohn theorem. The Kato cusp condition can be used to refute a “to-be-refuted” statement as an alternative to the original proof by Hohenberg and Kohn applicable for Coulombic systems. Since alternative ways to prove falseness of the “to-be-refuted” statement in a reduction ad absurdum proof do not exclude each other, Kryachko's criticism is not justified. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract

Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km2 (158 cm2) to 100 km2 (1,000,000,000,000 cm2). Time period and grain BioTIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates.
