Vibrational Corrections to NMR Spin-Spin Coupling Constants from Relativistic Four-Component DFT Calculations
(2022-09-22)Zero-point vibrational (ZPV) corrections to the nuclear spin–spin coupling constants have been calculated using four-component Dirac–Kohn–Sham DFT for H2X (where X = O, S, Se, Te, Po), XH3 (where X = N, P, As, Sb, Bi), and ... -
Molecular properties of energetic materials and the use of quantumchemical methods for their determination
(2022-11-11)Energetic materials find countless applications of relevance to the defence sector, as typical classes of energetic materials are propellants, explosives and fuels. To ensure safe handling of such materials, obtaining ... -
Target detection in radars using small neural networks
(2022-08-17)Target detection is an essential part of radar systems. An important objective in radar target detection is to satisfy two often contradictory requirements: a high probability of detection with a low false alarm rate. ... -
Safe storage of ammonium nitrate products –scientific framework for government regulations
(2022-10-27)Ammonium nitrate (AN) is a solid chemical compound of paramount significance in the field of agriculture, as a high-nitrogen fertilizer component, and in the formulation of blasting explosives having major civilian ... -
