    Abstract In-depth elucidation of how molecules are electrically polarized would be one key factor for understanding the properties of those molecules under various thermodynamic and/or spatial conditions. Here this problem is tackled for the case of hydrogen-bonded water by conducting singular value decomposition of the electron density changes that occur upon electrostatic polarization. It is shown that all those electron density changes are approximately described as linear combinations of ten orthonormal basis "vectors". One main component is the interatomic charge transfer through each OH bond, while some others are characterized as the atomic dipolar polarizations, meaning that both of these components are important for the electrostatic polarization of water. The interaction parameters that reasonably well reproduce the induced dipole moments are derived, which indicate the extent of mixing of the two components in electrostatic polarization.

    Abstract Elucidating how the halogen-bonding ability and strength are controlled by the substituent effect and how this control depends on halogen atom will be essential for finely-tuned design of functionally important molecules. Here, this problem is tackled by analyzing the electron density differences/changes for variously substituted halobenzenes. It is shown that the anisotropy of the electron distribution around the halogen atom, which is an important factor for halogen-bonding ability, is not much affected by the substituent effect and rather simply depends on the halogen atom, while the partial charge on the halogen atom, which is related to the bond dipole of the C-X bond, is significantly modulated by the substituent effect and gives rise to enhancement of the electrostatic potential on the line extended from the C-X bond. The properties related to the polarization effect are also discussed.

    Abstract Elucidating the mechanism of how vibrational modes are affected by intermolecular interactions is important for a better understanding of the nature of the former as probes of the latter. Here, such an analysis is carried out for the N-O stretching modes of the nitrate ion interacting with water, with an emphasis on the symmetry breaking effect. On the basis of theoretical calculations on the structural, vibrational, and electrostatic properties of molecular clusters and spectral simulations for an aqueous solution, a transparent view is demonstrated on the mechanism that modulations of spatially local electrostatic environment give rise to structural and spectroscopic symmetry breaking effect. The electrostatic interaction model constructed here is a seven-parameter model; the use of a single electrostatic parameter, such as the electric field on a single atomic site, is found to be insufficient for quantitative evaluation. It is also shown that the frequency modulations of the N-O stretching modes in aqueous solution occur on a time scale much shorter than 0.1 ps.

    Abstract For better understanding and more efficient use of the spectroscopic probes (vibrational and NMR) of the local electrostatic situations inside proteins, appropriate modeling of the properties of those probes is essential. The present study is devoted to examining the strategy for constructing such models. A more well-founded derivation than the ones in previous studies is given in constructing the models. Theoretical analyses are conducted on two representative example cases related to proteins, i.e., the peptide group of the main chains and the CO and NO ligands to the Fe

    Abstract Wildlife in urban areas have the potential to disseminate antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) across a wider environment. Using antimicrobial-supplemented agar plates, we isolated extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (EEC) and quinolone-resistant E. coli (QREC) from 144, 23, and 30 deer feces from Nara Park (NP), rural area neighboring NP (RA), and Mt. Odaigahara (MO), respectively. In NP and RA, the prevalence of EEC was 24.3 and 4.3%, respectively; that of QREC was 11.1 and 17.4%, respectively. Neither EEC nor QREC were detected in MO. The pulsotypes of EEC and QREC isolates differed between NP and RA. Our study suggests that deer of the Nara Prefecture are potential carriers of ARB, but long-distance dissemination is unlikely due to limited deer movement.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the association between myopia and dry eye (DE)-related ocular parameters.
    Methods: We recruited a total of 460 patients (mean age, 73.6 years; 40.2% men) and performed DE-related, axial length (AL) and retinal examinations. Statistical analysis revealed a significant sex difference in AL, strip meniscometry value, corneal staining score, corneal endothelial cell density, ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness, and full macular thickness. AL was strongly age- and sex-dependent, so subsequent analyses were stratified by sex.
    Results: Among DE-related parameters, strip meniscometry value (ß = -0.167,
    Conclusion: The current results suggest a relationship between tear production and AL in elderly women and support the hypothesis that there may be a common upstream factor including the parasympathetic nervous system in the association between tear production and AL or DE and myopia.

    Abstract The intensity generation mechanisms of the far-infrared (far-IR) [or terahertz (THz)] spectrum of liquid formamide, particularly with regard to the behavior of electrons induced by modulations of the hydrogen-bonding conditions of the molecules, are examined theoretically. The theoretical analysis is done in the following two steps. First, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are carried out for the dimers and larger clusters of formamide to analyze the change in the dipole derivative (the square of which is proportional to the IR intensity) induced by hydrogen-bond formation. Then, by using the information derived in the first step, molecular dynamics-based spectral simulations are carried out. It is shown that, upon formation of a hydrogen bond, a change in the dipole derivative is induced along the direction of the hydrogen bond, and is reasonably modeled by the intermolecular charge flux mechanism, where a certain amount of electron density is transferred between molecules according to the modulation of the hydrogen-bond length, similarly to the case of liquid water. This model is in a form that is suitable for use in molecular dynamics-based spectral simulations. From these spectral simulations, it is found that the observed spectral features of the far-IR spectrum of liquid formamide are reasonably reproduced, and that the inclusion of the effect of intermolecular charge flux is essential for it. Contrary to the case of liquid water, the molecular libration band (rather than the molecular translation band) is significantly enhanced by the intermolecular charge flux. It is discussed that this difference is related to the geometrical relation between the hydrogen bonds and the atomic displacements in the molecular translations and librations (rotations). It is considered that, in general, in hydrogen-bonding liquids, modulations of hydrogen-bond lengths occurring upon dynamics of molecules give rise to intermolecular charge fluxes, significantly affecting the dipole derivatives, and hence, the IR intensity distributions in the spectra.

    Abstract Elucidating how the intermolecular interactions of a covalently bonded fluorine atom are similar to and different from those of the other halogen atoms will be helpful for a better unified understanding of them. In the present study, the case of hydrogen fluoride is theoretically studied from this viewpoint by using the techniques of electron density analysis, molecular dynamics of liquid, and others. It is shown that the extra-point model, which locates an additional charge site on the line
