We propose and study a one-dimensional traffic flow cellular automaton (CA) model of high speed vehicles with rapid acceleration as in Fukui-Ishibashi (FI) model and with stochastic delay as in Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model. This model is different from the NS model in that only the cars following the trail of the ahead car can be delayed. In other words, a car with spacing ahead longer than t...

The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) is a destructive marine invader that was first discovered in Newfoundland waters in 2007 and has since become established in nearshore ecosystems on the south and west coast of the island. Targeted fishing programs aimed at removing green crabs from invaded Newfoundland ecosystems use Fukui traps, but the capture efficiency of these traps has not been p...

Bond Fukui functions and matrices are introduced for ab initio levels of theory using a Mulliken atoms in molecules model. It is shown how these indices may be obtained from first-order density matrix derivatives without need for going to second-order density matrices as in a previous work. The importance of taking into account the nonorthogonality of the basis in ab initio calculations is show...

Structure-activity relationships of 46 P450 2A6 inhibitors were analyzed using the 3D-QSAR methodology. The analysis was carried out to confront the use of traditional steric and electrostatic fields with that of a number of fields reflecting conceptual DFT properties: electron density, HOMO, LUMO, and Fukui f- function as 3D fields. The most predictive models were obtained by combining the inf...

We present a rigorous description of chemical space within a molecular grand-canonical ensemble multi-component density functional theory framework. A total energy density functional for chemical compounds in contact with an electron and a proton bath is introduced using Lagrange multipliers which correspond to the energetic response to changes of the elementary particle densities. From a gener...

The application of reactivity parameters derived from density functional theory in a local sense, in particular the softness and Fukui function, to interpret and predict the mechanisms of various organic reactions has been discussed. Local softness is shown to be successful in determining the site-selectivity and regiochemistry and can be used as an alternative to the traditional frontier orbit...
