- Abstract
We present the implementation of an efficient matrix-folded formalism for the evaluation of complex response functions and the calculation of transition properties at the level of the second-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction (ADC(2)) scheme. The underlying algorithms, in combination with the adopted hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallelization strategy, enabled calculations of the UV/vis spectra of a guanine oligomer series ranging up to 1032 contracted basis functions, thereby utilizing vast computational resources from up to 32,768 CPU cores. Further analysis of the convergence behavior of the involved iterative subspace algorithms revealed the superiority of a frequency-separated treatment of response equations even for a large spectral window, including 101 frequencies. We demonstrate the applicability to general quantum mechanical operators by the first reported electronic circular dichroism spectrum calculated with a complex polarization propagator approach at the ADC(2) level of theory., QC 20240122

While the anomalous non-additive size-dependencies of static dipole polarizabilities and van der Waals C6 dispersion coefficients of carbon fullerenes are well established, the widespread reported scalings for the latter (ranging from N2.2 to N2.8) call for a comprehensive first-principles investigation. With a highly efficient implementation of the linear complex polarization propagator, we have performed Hartree–Fock and Kohn–Sham density functional theory calculations of the frequency-dependent polarizabilities for fullerenes consisting of up to 540 carbon atoms. Our results for the static polarizabilities and C6 coefficients show scalings of N1.2 and N2.2, respectively, thereby deviating significantly from the previously reported values obtained with the use of semi-classical/empirical methods. Arguably, our reported values are the most accurate to date as they represent the first ab initio or first-principles treatment of fullerenes up to a convincing system size. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Within the self-consistent field approximation, computationally tractable expressions for the isotropic second-order hyperpolarizability have been derived and implemented for the calculation of two-photon absorption cross sections. The novel tensor average formulation presented in this work allows for the evaluation of isotropic damped cubic response functions using only ∼3.3% (one-photon off-resonance regions) and ∼10% (one-photon resonance regions) of the number of auxiliary Fock matrices required when explicitly calculating all the needed individual tensor components. Numerical examples of the two-photon absorption cross section in the one-photon off-resonance and resonance regions are provided for alanine–tryptophan and 2,5-dibromo-1,4-bis(2-(4-diphenylaminophenyl)vinyl)-benzene. Furthermore, a benchmark set of 22 additional small- and medium-sized organic molecules is considered. In all these calculations, a quantitative assessment is made of the reduced and approximate forms of the cubic response function in the one-photon off-resonance regions and results demonstrate a relative error of less than ∼5% when using the reduced expression as compared to the full form of the isotropic cubic response function.

- Abstract
Since its beginning, the remarkable development from the first commercially available computers toward exascale supercomputers just within the span of a lifetime has been closely intertwined with the perpetual quest for the utilization of the arising computing power for the avail of theoretical chemistry. With the aim of further pushing the limits of computationally accessible molecular system sizes, this thesis includes the presentation of programming efforts, which brought forth two quantum chemical software codes, as well as a range of ab initio studies on carbon-based systems, enabled by the former. The VeloxChem and Gator programs, developed for spectroscopy simulations at the level of density-functional theory (DFT) and correlated wave function methods, respectively, employ a hybrid message passing interface (MPI)/open multiprocessing (OpenMP) parallelization scheme embedded in a modular program structure written in a Python/C++ layered fashion for the execution in contemporary high-performance computing (HPC) environments. Included numerical solvers for the evaluation of real and complex linear response functions in combination with the parallel construction of auxiliary Fock matrices enable the efficient calculation of one-photon absorption or electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra in the ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) or X-ray spectral region, as well as van der Waals C6 dispersion coefficients. Employing the VeloxChem program in two comprehensive investigations, the C6 dispersion coefficients of carbon fullerenes up to a system size of C540 and the CD spectra of carbohelicenes ranging from CH[5] to CH[30] have been calculated at the DFT level of theory. The revealed non-additive scaling with respect to the number of carbon atoms of N2.2 in the former and nontrivial CD band progressions, arguably linked to the number of overlapping layers in the helical conjugated systems, in the latter rectify the current conception in their respective fields. In a bench, Den anmärkningsvärda utvecklingen som inom enbart loppet av en livstid gått från de första kommersiellt tillgängliga datorerna mot exascale superdatorer har varit nära sammanflätad med en strävan att kunna utnyttja den uppgraderade beräkningskraften för att kunna lösa mer komplexa problem inom den teoretisk kemin. I syfte att ytterligare tänja på gränserna för beräkningsmässigt tillgängliga molekylära systemstorlekar, inkluderar denna avhandling en presentation av programmeringsinsatser som ledde till utvecklingen av två kvantkemiska mjukvarukoder, såväl som en rad ab initio studier på kolbaserade system, där de två mjukvarukoderna applicerades. VeloxChem- och Gator-programmen som är utvecklade för spektroskopi-simuleringar på nivån för density-functional theory (DFT) respektive korrelerade vågfunktionsmetoder, använder ett hybrid-message passing interface (MPI)/open multiprocessing (OpenMP) parallelliseringsschema som är inbäddat i en modulär programstruktur skriven i lager av Python/C++ för exekvering i nutida hög-prestandaberäkningsmiljöer (HPC). De inkluderade numeriska lösningsalgoritmerna för utvärdering av reella och komplexa linjära responsfunktioner i kombination med den parallella konstruktionen av extra Fock-matriser möjliggör effektiv beräkning av både en-fotonabsorption eller elektronisk cirkulär dikroism (CD)-spektra i ultravioletta/synliga (UV/vis) eller röntgen områden, samt beräkningar av van der Waals C6 dispersionskoefficienter. Genom att använda VeloxChem-programmet i två omfattande undersökningar har dispersionskoefficienterna C6 för kolfullerener upp till en systemstorlek på C540 och CD-spektra av kolhelicener från CH[5] till CH[30] varit beräknade på DFT-nivå. Den första undersökningen avslöjade en icke-additiv skalning med avseende på antalet kolatomer av N2,2. Den andra identifierade icke-triviala CD-bandprogressioner, som förmodligen är kopplat till antalet överlappande lager i de spiralformade konjugerade systemen. Resultaten från dessa s, QC 2022-10-18

- Abstract
We demonstrate that contemporary computational resources allow for accurate theoretical studies of systems matching recent advances in experimental helicene chemistry. Concerned with first-principles calculations of carbohelicenes, our work surpasses CH[12] as the largest system investigated to date and unravels trends in the electronic structure of the low-lying states of the homologous series. Utilizing a highly efficient implementation of linear response algorithms, we present electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra of carbohelicenes ranging from CH[5] to CH[30] at the level of Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. Our results for a systematic increase in system size show the emergence of new CD bands that subsequently rise to intensities dominating the spectrum. The spectral band progressions exhibit a periodicity directly linked to the number of overlapping layers of conjugation. While our findings rectify the current understanding of the electronic structure of carbohelicenes, they also serve as a general call for caution regarding the extrapolation of trends from small system ranges., QC 20220830

- Abstract
The Gator program has been developed for computational spectroscopy and calculations of molecular properties using real and complex propagators at the correlated level of wave function theory. Currently, the focus lies on methods based on the algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) scheme up to the third order of perturbation theory. An auxiliary Fock matrix-driven implementation of the second-order ADC method for excitation energies has been realized with an underlying hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallelization scheme suitable for execution in high-performance computing cluster environments. With a modular and object-oriented program structure written in a Python/C++ layered fashion, Gator additionally enables time-efficient prototyping of novel scientific approaches, as well as interactive notebook-driven training of students in quantum chemistry.

An open-source program named VeloxChem has been developed for the calculation of electronic real and complex linear response functions at the levels of Hartree–Fock and Kohn–Sham density functional theories. With an object-oriented program structure written in a Python/C++ layered fashion, VeloxChem enables time-efficient prototyping of novel scientific approaches without sacrificing computational efficiency, so that molecular systems involving up to and beyond 500 second-row atoms (or some 10,000 contracted and in part diffuse Gaussian basis functions) can be routinely addressed. In addition, VeloxChem is equipped with a polarizable embedding scheme for the treatment of the classical electrostatic interactions with an environment that in turn is modeled by atomic site charges and polarizabilities. The underlying hybrid message passing interface (MPI)/open multiprocessing (OpenMP) parallelization scheme makes VeloxChem suitable for execution in high-performance computing cluster environments, showing even slightly beyond linear scaling for the Fock matrix construction with use of up to 16,384 central processing unit (CPU) cores. An efficient—with respect to convergence rate and overall computational cost—multifrequency/gradient complex linear response equation solver enables calculations not only of conventional spectra, such as visible/ultraviolet/X-ray electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectra, but also time-resolved linear response signals as due to ultra-short weak laser pulses.

RESUMEN: Con el objeto de entender más claramente la influencia de la intensidad de la lluvia en el proceso de infiltración y deformación de taludes en suelos parcialmente saturados, se han realizado análisis numéricos en 2D usando un método trifásico acoplado que incluye un modelo elasto-viscoplástico. Los resultados numéricos muestran que independientemente de la permeabilidad saturada del talud, el incremento en la presión de poros (reducción de la succión) durante la infiltración de la lluvia se localiza cerca a la superficie del talud. Adicionalmente, los incrementos en la presión de poros y en los desplazamientos laterales son controlados principalmente por la relación entre la intensidad de la lluvia y la permeabilidad saturada del suelo. ABSTARCT: In order to improve the understanding of the influence of rainfall intensity on infiltration and deformation behavior of unsaturated soil slopes, numerical 2D analyses are carried out by a three-phase elasto-viscoplastic seepage-deformation coupled method. From the numerical results, it is shown that regardless of the saturated permeability of the soil slope, the increase in the pore water pressure (reduction in suction) during rainfall infiltration is localized close to the slope surface. In addition, the generation of the pore water pressure and the lateral displacement are mainly controlled by the ratio of the rainfall intensity to the saturated permeability of the soil.

In order to improve the understanding of the influence of rainfall intensity on infiltration and deformation behavior of unsaturated soil slopes, numerical 2D analyses are carried out by a three-phase elasto-viscoplastic seepage-deformation coupled method. From the numerical results, it is shown that regardless of the saturated permeability of the soil slope, the increase in the pore water pressure (reduction in suction) during rainfall infiltration is localized close to the slope surface. In addition, the generation of the pore water pressure and the lateral displacement are mainly controlled by the ratio of the rainfall intensity to the saturated permeability of the soil, Con el objeto de entender más claramente la influencia de la intensidad de la lluvia en el proceso de infiltración y deformación de taludes en suelos parcialmente saturados, se han realizado análisis numéricos en 2D usando un método trifásico acoplado que incluye un modelo elasto-viscoplástico. Los resultados numéricos muestran que independientemente de la permeabilidad saturada del talud, el incremento en la presión de poros (reducción de la succión) durante la infiltración de la lluvia se localiza cerca a la superficie del talud. Adicionalmente, los incrementos en la presión de poros y en los desplazamientos laterales son controlados pincipalmente por la relación entre la intensidad de la lluvia y la permeabilidad saturada del suelo

SHEAR testing of soils , *MEASUREMENT of shear strength , *AMPHIBOLITES , *SOIL composition - Abstract
Residual soils by their formation process have special characteristics that are not characterized in traditional soil mechanics devoted to sedimentary soils. The weathering processes according to the cycles of exposure to those who are exposed have variations in composition and mechanical behavior. Residual soils from Amphibolite rock located in the valley of St. Nicholas, near the city of Medellin have been recovered and tested. The variation of the speed versus shear strength of the undrained shear strength was evaluated by conducting direct shear tests on undisturbed samples under Unconsolidated and Undrained conditions, soil samples were recovered using shelby thin-walled tubes, graphs of the variation of the shear strength, cohesion and friction angle versus speed and their impact on design.

VOLCANIC eruptions , *SOIL cohesion , *SOIL mechanics , *BENTONITE - Abstract
Volcanic eruptions can destroy the ecosystems around them; producing ash that covers everything in its path. However, these ashes devastating originate some of the most productive and complex soils of the world. Under the purpose of knowing the properties and behavior of these soils under natural conditions, this study shows how through laboratory tests, the variation was associated constant over time the degree of saturation of the soil, with its strength parameters. Soil samples taken from the city of Pereira, were taken to the failure to obtain the shear strength parameters. The results obtained are evidence of a trend of variation of cohesion with the variation in the degree of saturation. Alternative causes for this behavior of the soil are discussed, and their application in engineering optimization task in these soils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
We present the derivation and implementation of an efficient matrix-folded formalism for the evaluation of complex response functions at the level of the second-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction ADC(2) scheme. The adopted hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallelization strategy enables the utilization of vast computational resources without significant performance losses as demonstrated by consistent size-scalings for the computationally most demanding steps obtained from calculations of the UV/vis spectra of a guanine oligomer series ranging up to 1,032 contracted basis functions. Further analysis of the convergence behavior of the involved iterative subspace algorithm revealed the superiority of a frequency-separated treatment of response equations even for a large spectral window including 101 frequencies. We demonstrate the applicability to general quantum mechanical operators by the first reported electric circular dichroism spectrum calculated with the complex polarization propagator approach at the ADC(2) level of theory., QC 20221018

95 páginas Con la actualización del reglamento Colombiano de construcción sismo resistente (NSR-10), se introdujeron una gran cantidad de cambios que sin duda alguna buscan estructuras más seguras, funcionales y duraderas, sin embargo algunos de estos cambios afectan notablemente los costos de la construcción, así que en el presente trabajo se pretende identificar los cambios más representativos en los títulos H.3 (caracterización geotécnica del subsuelo), I (supervisión técnica), J (requisitos de protección contra incendios en edificaciones) y K (requisitos complementarios) de dicho reglamento en lo correspondiente a edificaciones clasificadas dentro de grupo de ocupación: residencial-multifamiliar (R-2) de gran altura. Una vez que los profesionales afines comenzaron a estudiarla y evidenciar sus grandes cambios, se comenzaron a agilizar los trámites para radicar las licencias de construcción antes de la entrada vigencia de la NSR-10, para que estos fueran evaluados bajo los parámetros de la NSR-98, y por esto que produjo un incremento en unidades licenciadas de 122,95 % entre el primer y último trimestre del año 2010, según el Departamento de Estudios Económicos y Técnicos de CAMACOL. With the upgrade of the Colombian earthquake resistant construction regulation, many changes were introduce undoubtedly to look for safer, more functional and more durable structures, perhaps some of these changes affect significantly construction cost, so in this work we intended to identify the most significant changes in the titles H.3, I, J y K of these regulation, only the corresponding to buildings classified in the occupation group; residential-multifamily (R-2) of great height. Once the professionals involved in the industry of construction stared to studied and identify the changes, they all hurry to filling the documentation to obtain the license of construction under NSR-98. That’s why the increment of 122,95 % between the first and last trimestral period of 2010, according the Department of Economic and Technical Studies of CAMACOL.
