A comprehensive DFT/TDDFT investigation into the influence of electron acceptors on the photophysical properties of ullazine-based D-π-A-π-A photosensitizers by Jing Huang, Zihao Li, Lei Yang, Rongfang Hu, Guoyu Shi

“…DFT and TDDFT calculations revealed that substituting the A1 position with a BTD moiety led to a substantial increase in the light absorption capacity of the dye. Furthermore, the incorporation of a CSSH moiety at the A2 position resulted in a significant redshift of the absorption spectrum and a notable increase in the light trapping efficiency. …”

Anaerobic digestion bacteria algae (ADBA): A mathematical model of mixotrophic algal growth with indigenous bacterial inhibition in anaerobic digestion effluent by S M Hasan Shahriar Rahat, Oluwatunmise Israel Dada, Liang Yu, Helmut Kirchhoff, Shulin Chen

“…This was the first model capable of predicting algal and bacterial growth in AD effluent with their competitive interactions, assuming shifting growth modes of algae on organic and inorganic carbon under light. It could also predict the removal rate of substrate and nutrients from effluent, light inhibition due to biomass shading and effluent turbidity, mass transfer rate of O2 and CO2 from gas phase to liquid phase, and pH-driven equilibrium between dissolved inorganic carbon components (CO2, HCO3–, and CO32–). …”
