Chemical Reactivity Properties, Solubilities, and Bioactivity Scores of Some Pigments Derived from Carotenoids of Marine Origin through Conceptual DFT Descriptors by Norma Flores-Holguín, Juan Frau, Daniel Glossman-Mitnik

“…Five density functionals, CAM-B3LYP, LC-ωHPBE, MN12SX, N12SX, and ωB97XD, in connection with the Def2TZVP basis set were assessed together with the SMD solvation model for the calculation of the molecular properties, chemical reactivities, and solubilities of some pigments derived from astaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, fucoxanthin, myxol, siphonaxanthin, siphonein, and zeaxanthin marine carotenoids in the presence of different solvents (hexane, methanol, ethanol, and water). All the chemical reactivity descriptors for the systems were calculated via conceptual density functional theory (CDFT). …”

Lower Tropospheric Response to Local Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies: A Numerical Study in the EUREC4 ${ ext{EUREC}}^{4}$A Region by M. Borgnino, F. Desbiolles, A. N. Meroni, C. Pasquero

“…Abstract Ocean and atmosphere exchange energy and mass at their interface at a rate that depends on the dynamical and thermodynamical disequilibrium between water and air. In this work, using an atmospheric model forced by observed high resolution sea surface temperature (SST) fields, we show that the air‐sea disequilibrium is also maintained by atmospheric processes driven by fine scale SST patterns. …”

Synthesis of silver leaves and their potential application for analysis and degradation of phenolic pollutants by Jianan Sun, Xianhui Gao, Wei Wei

“…Abstract A one‐pot bottom‐up synthesis method was used to synthesise multi‐level leaf‐like nano‐silver (silver leaf) by simply mixing AgNO3, L‐ascorbic acid, Sodium sodium citrate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in the ethanol‐water mixed solvents. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterisations show that the silver leaves have tertiary structures and their sizes are controllable. …”
