On the Accuracy of the Direct Method to Calculate pKa from Electronic Structure Calculations. [PDF]
The direct method (HA(soln) ⇌ A(soln)– + H(soln)+) for calculating pKa of monoprotic acids is as efficient as thermodynamic cycles. A selective adjustment of proton free energy in solution was used with experimental pKa data.

Genetic Algorithm-Enhanced Direct Method in Protein Crystallography [PDF]
Direct methods based on iterative projection algorithms can determine protein crystal structures directly from X-ray diffraction data without prior structural information. However, traditional direct methods often converge to local minima during electron

General and Direct Method for Preparing Oligonucleotide-Functionalized Metal-Organic Framework Nanoparticles. [PDF]
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of modular, crystalline, and porous materials that hold promise for storage and transport of chemical cargoes. Though MOFs have been studied in bulk forms, ways of deliberately manipulating the external surface

Linear–Quadratic Mean-Field-Type Games: A Direct Method
In this work, a multi-person mean-field-type game is formulated and solved that is described by a linear jump-diffusion system of mean-field type and a quadratic cost functional involving the second moments, the square of the expected value of the state,

An immersed boundary method with direct forcing for the simulation of particulate flows [PDF]
We present an improved method for computing incompressible viscous flow around suspended rigid particles using a fixed and uniform computational grid. The main idea is to incorporate Peskin's regularized delta function approach [Acta Numerica 11 (2002) 1]

Verification of punching shear outside the shear cap by the direct method [PDF]
The proposition of a method to verify the punching resistance for very large supports based on the EN 1992-1-1 standard is described in this paper. The present standard guidelines for the calculation of the punching resistance for large supports are also

Diffusion Model Alignment Using Direct Preference Optimization [PDF]
Large language models (LLMs) are fine-tuned using human comparison data with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) methods to make them better aligned with users' preferences. In contrast to LLMs, human preference learning has not been widely
