This article is devoted to the most recent, i.e. taking place within the last few years, theoretical developments in the field of intermolecular interactions. The most important advancement during this time period was the creation of a new version of symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) which is based on the density-functional theory (DFT) description of monomers. This method, which will...

In this study, we expanded Acer sect. Rubra Pax to include A. sect. Hyptiocarpa Fang. Traditionally, section Rubra comprises two iconic species, Acer rubrum Linnaeus (red maple) and A. saccharinum Linnaeus (silver maple), of eastern North American forests as well as the rare Japanese montane species, A. pycnanthum K. Koch. Section Hyptiocarpa consists of A. laurinum Hasskarl and A. pinnatinervi...

Within Agaricus subg. Minores, A. sect. Minores remains a little-studied section due generally to its delicate sporocarps often lacking taxonomically relevant morphological characters. To reconstruct the section, using the recent taxonomic system based on divergence times, and to evaluate the species diversity of A. sect. Minores in the Greater Mekong Subregion, 165 specimens were incorporated ...

In this paper, I argue that the conscious awareness one has of oneself as acting, i.e., agentive awareness, is not a type of sensory awareness. After providing some set up in Sect. 1, I move on in Sect. 2 to sketch a profile of sensory agentive experiences (SAEs) as representational states with sensory qualities by which we come to be aware of ourselves as performing actions. In Sect. 3, I crit...

Restriction site maps of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA), maternally inherited in Clarkia, were obtained in representative species of all seven diploid sections, the allotetraploid sect. Clarkia, and the outgroup Epilobium brachycarpum. CpDNA restriction site variation was analyzed by Wagner and Dollo parsimony, bootstrapping, and genetic distance methods. Four shortest Wagner trees, one of which was a...

We propose a graphic method to derive the classical algebra (Dirac brackets) of non-local conserved charges in the two-dimensional supersymmetric non-linear O(N) sigma model. As in the purely bosonic theory we find a cubic Yangian algebra. We also consider the extension of graphic methods to other integrable theories. 1 Introduction Non-linear sigma models [1-3] are prototypes of a remarkable c...
