Long Jiang,Yu Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects and regulatory actions of the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) substituent characteristics on their relative retention times (RRTs) during gas chromatography were analyzed based on known experimental RRTs of 209 PCB congeners.

Density‐functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical exchange correlation functional with local spin density, gradient, and exact exchange terms was proposed. But this functional performed significantly better than previous functionals with gradient corrections only, and fits experimental atomization energies with an impressively small average absolute deviation of 2.4 kcal/mol.
Development of the Colle-Salvetti correlation-energy formula into a functional of the electron density
TL;DR: Numerical calculations on a number of atoms, positive ions, and molecules, of both open- and closed-shell type, show that density-functional formulas for the correlation energy and correlation potential give correlation energies within a few percent.

Quantum mechanical continuum solvation models.
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling procedure called "Continuum Methods within MD and MC Simulations 3072", which automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of integrating discrete and continuous components into a discrete-time model.
Fish bioaccumulation and biomarkers in environmental risk assessment: a review
TL;DR: There is little doubt that measurements of bioaccumulation and biomarker responses in fish from contaminated sites offer great promises for providing information that can contribute to environmental monitoring programs designed for various aspects of ERA.

TL;DR: Concern was expressed about direct application of the TEF/total toxic equivalency (TEQ) approach to abiotic matrices, such as soil, sediment, etc., for direct application in human risk assessment as the present TEF scheme and TEQ methodology are primarily intended for estimating exposure and risks via oral ingestion.
