Determination de bases de gaussiennes optimales pour les molécules
Bases of n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Gaussian functions, whose exponents minimize the SCF total energy, have been determined for the hydrogen molecule. It is shown that a convenient process is found by applying a scaling fac...

Determination de bases de gaussiennes optimales pour les molecules
Bases composed of one fixed linear combination ofn = 2 and 3 Gaussian functions have been investigated for the hydrogen molecule. It is shown that the scaling factor applied to Huzinaga's free atom exponents,whic...

Détermination de bases de Gaussiennes optimales pour les molécules
An atomic (6s 3p) basis has been determined for carbon, yielding, for the atom, the same energy as Whitman-Hornback's (6s 3p) basis, but leading to a much better energy for the methane molecule, and making contra...

The application of miscibility parameter to the measurement of polymer-plasticizer compatibility
Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB)was found to precipitate from a clear plasticizer solution as it was cooled and this unique temperature (TP) (UCST) was noted. Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) did not precipitate and in this c...

Open AccessBDNF overexpression in mouse hippocampal astrocytes promotes local neurogenesis and elicits anxiolytic-like activities
The therapeutic activity of selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) relies on long-term adaptation at pre- and post-synaptic levels. The sustained administration of SSRIs increases the serotoner...

5-HT2A receptor inactivation potentiates the acute antidepressant-like activity of escitalopram: involvement of the noradrenergic system
Evidence suggests that the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR) modulates the therapeutic activity of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Indeed, among the genetic factors known to influence the individua...
