Quasi-classical simulations of resonance Raman spectra based on path integral linearization [PDF]
Based on a linearization approximation coupled with path integral formalism, we propose a method derived from the propagation of quasi-classical trajectories to simulate resonance Raman spectra. This method is based on a ground state sampling followed by an ensemble of trajectories on the mean surface between the ground and excited states.

Numerous acids and bases influence indoor air quality. The most abundant of these species are CO2 (acidic) and NH3 (basic), both emitted by building occupants. Other prominent inorganic acids are HNO3 , HONO, SO2 , H2 SO4 , HCl, and HOCl.

Genotoxic effects of neutrophils and hypochlorous acid [PDF]
Chronic inflammation has been recognized as a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. In this process, reactive oxygen species released by neutrophils may play an important role. The aim of the present study was to investigate the capacity of the major neutrophilic oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which is formed by myeloperoxidase ...

Maple's Quantum Chemistry Package in the Chemistry Classroom [PDF]
An introduction to the Quantum Chemistry Package (QCP), implemented in the computer algebra system Maple, is presented. The QCP combines sophisticated electronic structure methods and Maple's easy-to-use graphical interface to enable computation and visualization of the electronic energies and properties of molecules.

Surviving Reactive Chlorine Stress: Responses of Gram-Negative Bacteria to Hypochlorous Acid
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and its active ingredient, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), are the most commonly used chlorine-based disinfectants. HOCl is a fast-acting and potent antimicrobial agent that interacts with several biomolecules, such as sulfur ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...
