A simple method for evaluating low-energy electron-molecule scattering cross sections using discrete basis functions [PDF]
, 1975 We present a simple, approximate method for calculating low-energy electron-molecule scattering cross sections using only the results of a basis set diagonalization of the molecular Hamiltonian.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Aggregation and the Structure of Value
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Infinite ethics and the limits of impartiality
Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 433-453, June 2026.Abstract Beneficence—the part of morality concerned with promoting people's well‐being—is widely thought to be both agent‐neutral and impartial: it prescribes a common aim to all, and does not favor some individuals over others. This paper explores a problem for agent‐neutral, impartial beneficence from the perspective of “individualistic ethics” in ...

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.The bifunctionalization of the surface of mesoporous material SBA‐15 by thiol and amino as two organic functions via post‐ or successive grafting leads to obtaining a high performance and effective adsorbent for lead ion removal from aqueous solution. In contrast, there was a reduction in the cadmium ion removal rate. The simultaneous incorporation of –
