Southern Two-Lined Salamander Diets in Urban and Forested Streams in Western Georgia 

Barrett, Kyle; Samoray, Stephen T.; Helms, Brian S.; Guyer, Craig; 0000-0003-4909-2690 (2022-03-03)
Streams are heavily affected by watershed urbanization as increased stormwater runoff changes their physical and chemical composition. Benthic macroinvertebrate species richness has been consistently shown to decline with ...

Interpretation of the photoelectron spectra of superalkali species: Na3O and Na3O- 

Zein, S; Ortiz, J. V.; Ortiz, Joseph Vincent (2020-08-20)
Recently measured photoelectron spectra of the Na3O- anion have been interpreted with the aid of ab initio electron propagator calculations. As in the case of the Li3O-, we propose that the photoionization of ground and ...

Valence-bound (VB) and diffuse-bound (DB) anions of noble-gas (Ar, Kr, and Xe) complexes with uracil have been studied with ab initio methods. MP2 optimizations revealed minima corresponding to anions of both kinds in ...

Life History Aspects of Exyra semicrocea (Pitcher Plant Moth) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) 

Stephens, Jessica D.; Folkerts, Debbie R. (2022-03-03)
With as little as 3% of southeastern Coastal Plain pitcher plant bogs remaining, it is important to understand the life-history aspects of the endemic organisms that comprise this community. In this study, we elucidate ...

Elemental Concentrations of Eleven New Caledonian Plant Species from Serpentine Soils: Elemental Correlations and Leaf-Age Effects 

Boyd, Robert S.; Jaffré, Tanguy (2021-01-04)
- We investigated accumulation of elements (Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, P, Pb, and Zn) in leaves of different ages for 11 evergreen woody plant species from serpentine soils of New Caledonia. Species were classifi ed ...

OH3- and O2H5- double Rydberg anions: Predictions and comparisons with NH4- and N2H7- 

Melin, Junia; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
A low barrier in the reaction pathway between the double Rydberg isomer of OH3 − and a hydride-water complex indicates that the former species is more difficult to isolate and characterize through anion photoelectron ...

Surface Green’s function calculations: A nonrecursive scheme with an infinite number of principal layers 

Kletsov, Aleksey; Dahnovsky, Yuri; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
A novel computational method for a surface Green’s function matrix is introduced for the calculation of electrical current in molecular wires. The proposed nonrecursive approach includes an infinite number of principal ...

Partial photoionization cross sections of and Rydberg radicals 

Velasco, A.M.; Lavin, C.; Martin, I.; Melin, J.; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
ammonium and oxonium Rydberg radicals from the outermost, occupied orbitals of their respective ground states are reported. These properties are known to be relevant in photoelectron dynamics studies. For the present ...

Assessment of transition operator reference states in electron propagator calculations 

Flores-Moreno, Roberto; Zakrzewski, V. G.; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
The transition operator method combined with second-order, self-energy corrections to the electron propagator TOEP2 may be used to calculate valence and core-electron binding energies. This method is tested on a set of ...

Integral approximations in ab initio, electron propagator calculations 

Flores-Moreno, Roberto; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
Treatments of interelectronic repulsion that avoid four-center integrals have been incorporated in ab initio, electron-propagator calculations with diagonal self-energy matrices. Whereas the formal scaling of arithmetic ...

Sequential addition of H2O, CH3OH, and NH3 to Al3O3-: A theoretical study 

Guevara-Garcia, Alfredo; Martinez, Ana; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
Photoelectron spectra of two species, Al3O3(H2O)(2)(-) and Al3O3(CH3OH)(2)(-), that are produced by the addition of two water or methanol molecules to Al3O3- are interpreted with density-functional geometry optimizations ...
