Mechanisms of Social Interaction and Virtual Connections as Strong Predictors of Wellbeing of Older Adults (open access)

Mechanisms of Social Interaction and Virtual Connections as Strong Predictors of Wellbeing of Older Adults

Article examining the domains of social determinants of health, specifically the social and community context per Healthy People 2030 objectives. These mechanisms of social interaction, in the form of group activities, community engagement, and virtual interactions via email or text message, were assessed using hierarchical regression analysis to find out their association with wellbeing, depression symptoms, and cognition of older adults.

Establishing Cost-Effective Computational Models for the Prediction of Lanthanoid Binding in [Ln(NO3)]2+ (with Ln = La to Lu) (open access)

Establishing Cost-Effective Computational Models for the Prediction of Lanthanoid Binding in [Ln(NO3)]2+ (with Ln = La to Lu)

This article is a study evaluating the predictive capabilities of various ab initio methods in the calculation of Gibbs free energies of reaction for [Ln(NO₃)]²⁺ compounds (with Ln = La to Lu), as nitrates are critical in traditional separation processes utilizing nitric acid. The composite methodologies evaluated predict Gibbs free energies of reaction for [Ln(NO₃)]²⁺ compounds within 5 kcal mol⁻¹ in most cases from the target method [CCSD(T)-FSII/cc-pwCV∞Z-DK3+SO] at a fraction of the computational cost.
