Excited states of mono- and biruthenium(II) complexes adsorbed on nanocrystalline titanium dioxide studied by electroabsorption spectroscopy by Daniel Pelczarski, Błażej Gierczyk, Maciej Zalas, Malgorzata Makowska-Janusik, Waldemar Stampor

“…The extracted values of relevant parameters, relating to molecular dipoles after optical MLCT (metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer) excitation, exhibit a clearly noticeable increase for Ru complexes adsorbed on TiO2, but they are too small to be attributed to excitation associated with the direct transfer of an electron from the dye adsorbate to the TiO2 semiconductor. …”

Symmetry-invariant quantum machine learning force fields by Isabel Nha Minh Le, Oriel Kiss, Julian Schuhmacher, Ivano Tavernelli, Francesco Tacchino

“…Inspired by recent developments in geometric classical and quantum machine learning, here we design quantum neural networks that explicitly incorporate, as a data-inspired prior, an extensive set of physically relevant symmetries. We find that our invariant quantum learning models outperform their more generic counterparts on individual molecules of growing complexity. …”

Ammonium and nitrate ratios in the cultivation of tobacco plants by Victor Gabriel Souza de Almeida, Girlene Santos de Souza, Gildeon Santos Brito, Alfredo Teles de Jesus Neto, Cristian Martins de Souza, Anacleto Ranulfo dos Santos

“…The 25:75 ratio (NH4+:NO3-) resulted in an increase of height, number of leaves, stem diameter and leaf dry mass, the latter being the variable of greatest commercial relevance for tobacco cultivation. The highest chlorophyll contents were found under the 100:00 ratio (NH4+:NO3-) supplementation; however, this treatment had the lowest expressions in all other variables and is not recommended for tobacco cultivation. …”
