Effectiveness of local feature selection in ensemble learning for prediction of antimicrobial resistance
2008
In the real world concepts are often not stable but change over time. A typical example of this in the biomedical context is antibiotic resistance, where pathogen sensitivity may change over time as pathogen strains develop resistance to antibiotics that were previously effective. This problem, known as concept drift (CD), complicates the task of learning a robust model. Different ensemble learning (EL) approaches (that instead of learning a single classifier try to learn and maintain a set of classifiers over time) have been shown to perform reasonably well in the presence of concept drift. In this paper we study how much local feature selection (FS) can improve ensemble performance for da…
NMR chemical shift computations at second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory using gauge-including atomic orbitals and Cholesky-decomposed two-…
2021
We report on a formulation and implementation of a scheme to compute NMR shieldings at second-order Moller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory using gauge-including atomic orbitals (GIAOs) to ensure gauge-origin independence and Cholesky decomposition (CD) to handle unperturbed as well as perturbed two-electron integrals. We investigate the accuracy of the CD for the derivatives of the two-electron integrals with respect to an external magnetic field as well as for the computed NMR shieldings, before we illustrate the applicability of our CD based GIAO-MP2 scheme in calculations involving up to about one hundred atoms and more than one thousand basis functions.
Measuring molecular parity nonconservation using nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy
2017
The weak interaction does not conserve parity and therefore induces energy shifts in chiral enantiomers that should in principle be detectable in molecular spectra. Unfortunately, the magnitude of the expected shifts are small and in spectra of a mixture of enantiomers, the energy shifts are not resolvable. We propose a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment in which we titrate the chirality (enantiomeric excess) of a solvent and measure the diasteriomeric splitting in the spectra of a chiral solute in order to search for an anomalous offset due to parity nonconservation (PNC). We present a proof-of-principle experiment in which we search for PNC in the \textsuperscript{13}C resonances…
13C NMR study on the methoxy carbon chemical shifts in chloro-substituted anisoles and guaiacols
1983
The 13C NMR chemical shifts of methoxy carbons in chlorinated anisoles and guaiacols have been measured for acetone-d6 solutions. Multiple linear regression analysis, and also ‘simple sum rule’ calculations, have been used to estimate the effects of the chlorine atoms (the position and degree of substitution) on the chemical shifts. The most important effects have shown to be due to the chlorine atoms adjacent to the methoxy and hydroxy substituents. For chlorinated guaiacols, the greatest effect is due to the chlorine atom adjacent to the methoxy group. For chlorinated anisoles, the substituents adjacent to the methoxy group (2,6-disubstitution) cause large effects. For both groups of comp…
Molecular precursors of mesostructured silica materials in the atrane route: A DFT/GIAO/NBO theoretical study
2007
Abstract Quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory have been carried out to investigate two assumed molecular precursors and identified as silatranes (N[OCH2CH2]3Si–OCH2CH2N–(CH2CH2OH)2 and N[OCH2CH2]3Si–OCH2CH2N–(CH2CH2OH)2Na+) which are present in the synthesis of mesoporous silica based material namely “the atrane route”. One of the ways in this synthesis leads to the well-known MCM-41. Additionally, in this work has been also investigated two others molecules such as triethanolamine (TEAH3) and sodatrane which are present in the medium. Gas phase and solution equilibrium geometries of the previous molecules were fully optimized at B3LYP level, modeling solvent effect…
DFT calculation of structures and NMR chemical shifts of simple models of small diameter zigzag single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)
2011
Linearly conjugated benzene rings (acenes), belt-shape molecules (cyclic acenes) and model single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were fully optimized at the unrestricted level of density functional theory (UB3LYP/6-31G*). The models of SWCNTs were selected to get some insight into the potential changes of NMR chemical shift upon systematic increase of the molecular size. The theoretical NMR chemical shifts were calculated at the B3LYP/pcS-2 level of theory using benzene as reference. In addition, the change of radial breathing mode (RBM), empirically correlated with SWCNT diameter, was directly related with the radius of cyclic acenes. Both geometrical and NMR parameters were extrapolated t…
1H, 13C, 15N NMR, ESI mass spectral and single crystal X-ray structural characterization of three spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles]
2006
Abstract Three spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles], 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-phenyl-spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine]-2′-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1), 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-nitro-2′-phenyl-spiro[3H-indole-3, 3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine] (2) and 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-nitro-2′-(4″-chlorophenyl)-spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine] (3) have been synthesized and their 1H, 13C and 15N spectra assigned. The chemical shift assignments are based on Pulsed Field Gradient (PFG) Double Quantum Filter (DQF) 1H, 1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), PFG 1H, 13C Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence (HMQC) and PFG 1H,X (X = 13C and 15N) Heteronuc…
Fourier transform nmr investigations of organotin compounds
1980
Abstract NMR spectra have been obtained for fiteen title compounds, mainly with R = Me. Tin chemical shifts were found to lie within the expected ranges, but to vary little with R or, apparently, with change in ring size. While the magnitute of 1 (SnSe) was as predicted, the of 1 (SnTe) was more than twice as large as that previously observed for (Me 3 Sn) 2 Te. In compounds Me 6 Sn( 3 X 3 , 2 J(SnMSn) varied systematically with variations in x, but within relatively narrow limits (195-250 Hz); a much more drastic variation was observed for Me 6 Sn 3 X 2 , possibly due to bond angle changes at Sn and X.
Identity Double-Proton Transfer in (3Z)-3-Hydroxy-1,4-di(quinolin-2-yl)but-3-en-2-one
2003
Although there is a very fast (on the NMR timescale) double-proton transfer in (1Z,3Z)-3-hydroxy-4-quinolin-2-yl-1-quinolin-2(1H)-ylidenbut-3-en-2-one (the product of the condensation of ethyl oxalate with 2-lithiomethylquinoline), it is the only species present in chloroform solution. Comparison of the product of condensation of ethyl oxalate with 2-lithiomethyl derivatives of pyridine (recent studies) and quinoline (present studies) shows that benzoannulation considerably affects the tautomeric equilibrium. The observed changes are not only quantitative but also qualitative. Moreover, contrary to the proton transfer in the pyridine tautomers, this process is fast in the quinoline tautomer…
Comparative NMR and IR spectral, X-ray structural and theoretical studies of eight 6-arylidenedibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-one-5,5-dioxides
2007
Abstract Eight 6-arylidenedibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-one-5,5-dioxides are characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray structures for three congeners are reported. In addition, the transmission of substituent effects in conjugated double bond system of 6-arylidenedibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-one-5,5-dioxide framework has been evaluated by calculating the correlations between selected 13C NMR chemical shifts and IR stretching wave numbers and Hammett constants of the substituents locating in the phenyl ring of the arylidene moiety.
