An efficient second-order poisson–boltzmann method

Immersed interface method (IIM) is a promising high-accuracy numerical scheme for the Poisson–Boltzmann model that has been widely used to study electrostatic interactions in biomolecules. However, the IIM suffers from instability and slow convergence for typical applications. In this study, we introduced both analytical interface and surface regulation into IIM to address these issues. The analytical interface setup leads to better accuracy and its convergence closely follows a quadratic manner as predicted by theory. The surface regulation further speeds up the convergence for nontrivial biomolecules. In addition, uncertainties of the numerical energies for tested systems are also reduced by about half. More interestingly, the analytical setup significantly improves the linear solver efficiency and stability by generating more precise and better-conditioned linear systems. Finally, we implemented the bottleneck linear system solver on GPUs to further improve the efficiency of the method, so it can be widely used for practical biomolecular applications. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

How accurate is the CASPT2 method?

This paper is a reply to a recent paper on the isomers of trisulfur oxides (Chem. Commun., 2005, 3712) where the accuracy of the CASPT2 method is called in question. We illustrate that their results are due to an inadequate choice of active orbitals. Some results for related O and S containing molecules are also presented to strengthen the argumentation. It is concluded that the CASPT2 method is accurate to at least 0.1 eV (2 kcal mol(-1)) for this type of systems.     

Evolution of dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method

Dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) has become a very popular environmentally benign sample-preparation technique, because it is fast, inexpensive, easy to operate with a high enrichment factor and consumes low volume of organic solvent. DLLME is a modified solvent extraction method in which acceptor-to-donor phase ratio is greatly reduced compared with other methods. In this review, in order to encourage further development of DLLME, its combination with different analytical techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS) will be discussed. Also, its applications in conjunction with different extraction techniques such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), solidification of floating organic drop (SFO) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) are summarized. This review focuses on the extra steps in sample preparation for application of DLLME in different matrixes such as food, biological fluids and solid samples. Further, the recent developments in DLLME are presented. DLLME does have some limitations, which will also be discussed in detail. Finally, an outlook on the future of the technique will be given.     

Cu–ZnO nanocrystallites by aqueous thermolysis method

ZnO and different atomic percentages of Cu-doped ZnO nanocrystallites have been prepared by aqueous thermolysis method using Glycine as a fuel and encapsulating agent. Mechanism and formation of intermediate products have been given for the first time. All the findings given are for samples annealed at 800?°C. XRD of nanocrystalline ZnO and Cu?CZnO has been indexed to hexagonal wurtzite structure. Influence of temperature on thermal properties of gel precursor and Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles have been investigated using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. Accordingly, samples have been annealed at different temperatures. Infrared studies revealed formation of Cu?CZnO nanoparticles and removal of organic matter at higher temperature.     

Cr cluster deposition by plasma—gas-condensation method

Transmission electron microscopy observation was carried out for nanometric Cr clusters deposited on microgrids at room temperature using plasma–gas-condensation (PGC) method. In order to obtain optimum conditions for monodisperse cluster formation we have studied effects of an Ar gas pressure, an Ar gas flow rate, and a mixing rate of He gas with Ar gas on the size distribution of formed clusters. It has been found that monodisperse clusters with the size rage of 9–13 nm in diameter are producible at a low Ar gas pressure (≤1.3 Torr) and a low Ar gas flow rate (≤600 sccm). The mean cluster size decreases with decreasing Ar gas pressure, while it is not sensitive to the Ar gas flow rate. When He gas is mixed with Ar gas, the mean cluster size further decreases to 6 nm and the cluster beam intensity becomes stronger probably because He gas with the high thermal conductivity enhances supersaturation for cluster nucleation.

Isotope-dilution ICP–MS for trace element determination and speciation: from a reference method to a routine method?

This critical review discusses the conditions under which inductively coupled plasma–isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ICP–IDMS) is suitable as a routine method for trace element and element-speciation analysis. It can, in general, be concluded that ICP–IDMS has high potential for routine analysis of trace elements if the accuracy of results is of predominant analytical importance. Hyphenated techniques with ICP–IDMS suffer both from lack of commercially available isotope-labeled spike compounds for species-specific isotope dilution and from the more complicated system set-up required for species-unspecific ICP–IDMS analysis. Coupling of gas or liquid chromatography with species-specific ICP–IDMS, however, enables validation of analytical methods involving species transformations which cannot easily be performed by other methods. The potential and limitations of ICP–IDMS are demonstrated by recently published results and by some unpublished investigations by our group. It has been shown that possible loss of silicon as volatile SiF₄ during decomposition of a sample by use of hydrofluoric acid has no effect on trace silicon determination if the isotope-dilution step occurs during digestion in a closed system. For powder samples, laser ablation ICP–IDMS can be applied with an accuracy comparable with that only available from matrix-matched standardization, whereas the accuracy of electrothermal vaporization ICP–IDMS was strongly dependent on the element determined. The significance of easy synthesis of isotope-labeled spike compounds for species-specific ICP–IDMS is demonstrated for monomethylmercury and Cr(VI). Isotope-exchange reactions between different element species can prevent the successful application of ICP–IDMS, as is shown for iodinated hydrocarbons. It is also shown for monomethylmercury that species transformations during sample-pretreatment steps can be followed by species-specific ICP–IDMS without loss of accuracy. A relatively simple and time-efficient procedure for determination of monomethylmercury in environmental and biological samples is discussed. The method, which entails a rapid microwave-assisted isotope dilution step and in-situ extraction of the derivatized species, has good potential for routine application in the future.

The present method is very simple, effective and convenient analytical method with small computational overhead.     

A simple, universal theory and method for computer plotting of stable equilibrium phase diagrams of a multisystem—SFM method

A new easy method has been presented to calculate the variable intervals corresponding to the stable univariant curves and to discriminate the stabilities of invariant points. This method and the one reported previously constitute a simple and universal theory for the computer-plotting of the equilibrium phase diagrams of a multisystem—sign function matrix (SFM) discrimination method. Its main steps are: determining the stable univariant scheme according to the derivative (or difference) of A_IG _m ; grouping the univariant curves by comparisons of the mutual relations among them; determining the existing intervals of the variables for the stable curves by comparisons of coordinate values of the curves about the invariant point; determining the stabilities of invariant points by comparisons of relations between the common curves and the invariant points. This method is suitable for any kind of phase diagram of closed or open systems in a phase diagram “space” with either 2 or more than 2 dimensions.
