Global, regional, and national progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 for neonatal and child health: all-cause and cause-specific mortality findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Background: Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction of neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and reduction of death of children younger than 5 years to less than 25 per 1000 livebirths, for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, and potential trajectories of child mortality for the next decade, we present the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 findings for all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality in children younger than 5 years of age, with multiple scenarios for child mortality in 2030 that include the consideration of potential effects of COVID-…
Electronic aspects of the hydride transfer mechanism. III. Ab-initio analytical gradient studies of the cyclopropenyl-cation/LiH with 4-31G and 3-21+G basis sets.
Abstract Hydride transfer reaction have been studied in sections of the energy hypersurface of cyclopropenyl cation and lithium hydride at 4-31G and 3-21+G basis set levels. The diffuse component has enforced the idea of an hydride-ion as being the particle transferred in the ground electronic state. Calculations on the first triplet state suggest a transfer mechanism mediated by one-electron followed by an hydrogen atom transfer. The change of basis set does not affect structural and energetics aspects of the reacting system except for the transferred particle, where, for some molecular complexes, the electronic distribution can be described as a hydride ion cementing two electron defficie…
