First-order symmetry-adapted perturbation theory for multiplet splittings
(2020-06-25)
We present a symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) for the interaction of two high-spin open-shell molecules (described by their restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock determinants) resulting in low-spin states of the ...
Fishes of the Streams of Acadia National Park, Maine
(2021-05-05)
Acadia National Park (ANP) is a non-continuous conglomerate of park lands interspersed with private lands, which is located mainly on Mount Desert Island, ME. Surveys of fishes in ANP have largely ignored or under-sampled ...
Fitness implications of seasonal climate variation in Columbian ground squirrels
(2020-04-01)
The influence of climate change on the fitness of wild populations is often studied in the context of the spring onset of the reproductive season. This focus is relevant for climate influences on reproductive success, but ...
Fluctuating environments hinder the ability of female lizards to choose suitable nest sites for their embryos
(2022-11-07)
Nesting behavior is an important part of reproduction that affects maternal fitness. Females of most oviparous species choose microhabitats for nesting that have positive effects on embryo development. However, choosing ...
Foreshock wave interaction with the magnetopause: Signatures of mode conversion
(2022-09-30)
Our previous hybrid simulation (Shi et al., 2013) under a radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and a supercritical solar wind Mach number has shown that foreshock compressional waves originated from the quasi-parallel ...

Free-Boundary Axisymmetric MHD Equilibrium
(2018-07-09)
The calculation of equilibrium conditions is a common task in the study and modeling of magnetic-confinement experiments for con- trolled nuclear fusion, in which a high-temperature plasma is confined in a finite region ...
Frequency of Occurrence and Population-Dynamic Consequences of Different Forms of Density-Dependent Emigration
(2022-08-02)
Emigration is a fundamental process affecting species' local, regional, and large-scale dynamics. The paradigmatic view in ecology is that emigration is density independent (DIE) or positive density dependent (1DDE). ...
Functional Characterization of Neuroendocrine Regulation of Branchial Carbonic Anhydrase Induction in the Euryhaline Crab Callinectes sapidus
(2020-04-02)
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays an essential role as a provider of counterions for Na+/H+ and Cl-/HCO3- exchange in branchial ionic uptake processes in euryhaline crustaceans. CA activity and gene expression are low in crabs ...
Gap Formation Around 0.5 Omega(e) in the Whistler-Mode Waves Due To the Plateau-Like Shape in the Parallel Electron Distribution: 2D PIC Simulations
(2022-10-12)
The power gap around 0.5 Omega(e) (where Omega(e) is the equatorial electron gyrofrequency) of whistler-mode waves is commonly observed in the Earth's inner magnetosphere, but its generation mechanism is still under debate. ...
A generalized any-particle propagator theory: Prediction of proton affinities and acidity properties with the proton propagator
(2020-01-16)
We have recently extended the electron propagator theory to the treatment of any type of particle
using an Any-Particle Molecular Orbital (APMO) wavefunction as reference state. This approach,
called APMO/PT, has been ...
Generation of anomalous flows near the bow shock by its interaction with interplanetary discontinuities
(2022-09-20)
Two-dimensional hybrid simulations using a curvilinear coordinate system are carried out to study the interaction of the Earth's bow shock (BS) with an interplanetary directional discontinuity. In particular, plasma flow ...

Generation of dynamic pressure pulses downstream of the bow shock by variations in the interplanetary magnetic field orientation
(2022-10-25)
One-dimensional resistive MHD and hybrid simulations are carried out to study the manner by which variations of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) direction generate dynamic pressure pulses in the magnetosheath. The ...
Generation of near-Earth reconnection by divergent flows in the plasma sheet
(2022-10-04)
[1] A global two-dimensional hybrid simulation is carried out to study the evolution of the near-Earth plasma sheet. It is shown that reconnection X lines and plasmoids can be generated by diverging flows in the plasma ...

Generation of rising-tone chorus in a two-dimensional mirror field by using the general curvilinear PIC code
(2022-10-12)
Recently, the generation of rising-tone chorus has been implemented with one-dimensional (1-D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations in an inhomogeneous background magnetic field, where both the propagation of waves and motion ...

Genetic differentiation, structure, and a transition zone among populations of the pitcher plant moth Exyra semicrocea: implications for conservation
(2019-05-10)
Pitcher plant bogs, or carnivorous plant wetlands, have experienced extensive habitat loss and fragmentation throughout the southeastern United States Coastal Plain, resulting in an estimated reduction to <3% of their ...
