1) The document discusses finding simple patterns between molecular properties and whether correlations reported in literature stand up to scrutiny.
2) It examines correlations between polarizability (α) and other properties like electronegativity, ionization energy, and finds poor correlations with RMSPE around 40%.
3) Better correlations are found between α and measures of molecular size like the square root of mean square distance of electrons from center (<r^2>)^(1/2) with RMSPE below 20%, and molecular volume with RMSPE around 15%.
4) The best correlation found is between α and the composite variable of volume over hardness cubed with three-quarters power, achieving a RMSPE of 7.3%.

Partial Differential Equation plays an important role in our daily life.In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is a differential equation that contains unknown multivariable functions and their partial derivatives. PDEs are used to formulate problems involving functions of several variables, and are either solved by hand, or used to create a computer model. A special case is ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which deal with functions of a single variable and their derivatives.
PDEs can be used to describe a wide variety of phenomena such as sound, heat, diffusion, electrostatics, electrodynamics, fluid dynamics, elasticity, or quantum mechanics. These seemingly distinct physical phenomena can be formalised similarly in terms of PDEs. Just as ordinary differential equations often model one-dimensional dynamical systems, partial differential equations often model multidimensional systems. PDEs find their generalisation in stochastic partial differential equations.

In engineering and science, dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their fundamental dimensions (such as length, mass, time, and electric charge) and units of measure (such as miles vs. kilometers, or pounds vs. kilograms vs. grams) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed.
Dimensional analysis is one of the important topic of the fluid mechanics. It is useful for transferring data from one system to other system and also useful in reducing complexity of the equation.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
1. Finding simple patterns is not always simple
Ajit Thakkar
Department of Chemistry

Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 5A3, Canada
2. Primitive patterns of understanding
• Find new, simple relationships among molecular properties, preferably
observable ones
• As emphasized by Charles Coulson, finding primitive patterns of understanding
is the crux of chemical research!
• Are some of the simple patterns in the literature really reliable?
• Can new simple chemical patterns be found in the 21st century?
• To answer the two questions above, we need “good” data . . .
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 3
3. What constitutes “good” data?
• Size: The database must be large enough
• Breadth and Balance: The database must be representative of a wide enough
class of molecules
• Consistency: The database must be consistent enough
• Reliability: The database must be accurate enough
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 4
4. TABS: A database of molecular structures and properties
• 1641 neutral, closed-shell, ground-state organic molecules (at least one C atom
and one or more H, N, O, F, S, Cl, and Br atoms)
• Average: 13 atoms, 56 electrons. Maximum: 34 atoms, 246 electrons
• At least 25 (often many more) instances of each of 24 functional categories
• Consistency is provided by using a (Pople) model chemistry: all data computed
at the same level
• Used B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ which should be reliable enough for correlations
among properties
• But double check reliability later
• Details: Blair & Thakkar, Comput. Theor. Chem. 1043, 13 (2014).
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 5
5. Correlations between α and other molecular properties
• There is a huge literature reporting simple correlations between the mean
dipole polarizability (α) and other molecular properties.
• Many references can be found listed in J. Chem. Phys., 141, 074306 (2014).
Apologies to those not mentioned.
• How many of these stand up to close scrutiny using the “good” TABS data?
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 6
6. Correlations between α and χ, η
• Polarizability ought to be inversely related to both electronegativity χ and
hardness η. For example,
– Brown (1961),
– Vela and G´azquez (1990),
– Nagle (1990),
– Ghanty and Ghosh (1993),
– Sim´on-Manso and Fuentealba (1998),
– Ayers (2007)
• Do such correlations really work well?
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 7
7. Polarizability correlates poorly with χ & η
• Using α vs. 1/ηo, where ηo = ǫHOMO − ǫLUMO, gives an RMSPE of 43%.
Equally weak correlations are obtained when either η = I − A or
χ2
= (I + A)2
/4 are used instead of ηo. Different powers of χ and η are worse.

8. Correlations between α and ionization energy
• Inverse correlations have been reported between α and ionization energy I and
sometimes I2 − I1 as well. For example,
– Dimitrieva and Plindov (1983),
– Fricke (1986),
– Rosseinsky (1994).
• Do such correlations really work well?
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 9
9. Polarizability correlates poorly with the ionization energy
• The best correlation with the vertical ionization energy I involves 1/I2
rather
than 1/I3
leading to an RMSPE of 36%.

10. Correlations between α and molecular size
• Correlation between α and Rk
(R is a characteristic length). For example,
– Wasastjerna (1922),
– Le Fevre (1950’s and 60’s).
Unexpectedly, k > 3 usually found.
• Does this correlation really work well?
• How do we measure molecular size?
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 11
11. Measures of molecular size can be extracted from ρ(r)
• (Bader) Volume V enclosed by 0.001 e/a3
0 isodensity surface of ρ(r)
• (Robb) Size: r2
= r2
ρ(r) dr (related to diamagnetic susceptibility)
• V ≈ 29.07 r2 1/2

Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 12
12. The polarizability correlates better with molecular size
• If R = r2 1/2
is taken as the size or characteristic length parameter, then the
best correlation is α versus R [RMSPE = 18%], not versus R3
or R4
.

Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 13
13. Correlations between α and molecular volume
• Volume should correlate with α. For example,
– Debye (1929),
– Cohen (1979),
– Gough (1989),
– Laidig and Bader (1990),
– Brinck, Murray and Politzer (1993).
• Does this correlation really work well?
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 14
14. The polarizability correlates fairly well with molecular volume
• V is the volume contained by the 0.001 e/a3
0 electron isodensity surface of
ρ(r). Using α vs. V and V 4/3
give RMSPE’s of 14.8% and 12%, respectively.

15. What have we found so far?
• The dipole polarizability α correlates only very roughly [RMSPE ≈ 40%] with
χ, η, I.
• Somewhat better correlations with an RMSPE under 20% are obtained with
R = r2 1/2
• Using the (Bader) volume brings the RMSPE down to 12%–15%
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 16
16. What next?
• Can better correlations between α and other molecular properties be obtained?
• Try composite variables, even those for which no physical interpretation may be
apparent.
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 17
17. One composite variable that works better is V/I
• A correlation between α and V/I has an RMSPE of 9.7%.

η1 = 2(I − χo) where the electronegativity χo = −(ǫHOMO + ǫLUMO)/2. η1

19. Do the correlations depend on the model chemistry?
• B3LYP does not scale well with molecular size and overestimates polarizabilities
• Do the correlations change if the model chemistry is changed?
• Double check everything with CAM-B3LYP and ωB97XD
• Numbers change but nothing significant about the correlations changes
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 20
20. Can we really find new, good, simple patterns?
• Connect properties of the electron density ρ(r) with properties of the electron
momentum density Π(p)
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 21
21. Notes on the electron momentum density
• Squaring does not commute with Fourier transformation. The electron
momentum density Π(p) is NOT the Fourier transform of ρ(r)
• Π(p) is the diagonal element of the Fourier transform of the r-space density
matrix
• All the nuclei have p = 0 in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation
• Moments of Π(p), pk
= pk
Π(p) dp, are finite for −2 ≤ k ≤ 4
• All the above pk
can be obtained from experiment
• Details: Thakkar, Adv. Chem. Phys., 128, 303 (2004).
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 22
22. The Compton profile is an observable momentum property
• An observable directly related to Π(p) is the Compton profile J(q). It is the
intensity of inelastic (Compton) scattering at wavelengths shifted, by a
“Doppler broadening” mechanism, from the wavelength at which inelastic
scattering by a motionless electron would be predicted.
• In the impulse approximation, the gas-phase Compton profile for momentum
transfer q is related to the radial momentum density I(p) by
J(q) = 1
2
∞
|q|
I(p)/p dp
• The peak height of J is just J(0) = 1

• Details: Thakkar, Adv. Chem. Phys., 128, 303 (2004).
Ajit Thakkar — Winter School, February 2015 23
23. How do we obtain molecular size from Π(p)?
• Molecular size tells us how far the electrons are spread out — that is, size is
sensitive to ρ(r) at larger values of |r|
• Reciprocity of position and momentum suggests that molecular size is most
likely to be correlated with properties sensitive to small values of |p|
• How about 1/p = 2J(0) and 1/p2
?

26. The take-home message
• Finding simple (primitive) patterns is important . . .
• but finding them is not simple.
• Don’t believe all the patterns that are reported in the literature.
– For example, α versus other molecular properties.
• Yes, Virginia, it is possible to find good simple patterns even today.
– For example, 1/p2
versus Bader volume.
