We presentk p· Hamiltonians parametrized byab initiodensity functional theory calculations
to describe the dispersion of the valence and conduction bands at their extrema (theK, Q, Γ, …

This topical review describes the methodology of continuum variational and diffusion
quantum Monte Carlo calculations. These stochastic methods are based on many-body …

We derive an effective Hamiltonian that describes the dynamics of electrons in the
conduction band of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) in the presence of …

We use a combined ab initio calculations and k· p theory based approach to derive a low-energy
effective Hamiltonian for monolayer MoS 2 at the K point of the Brillouin zone. It …

A form of Jastrow factor is introduced for use in quantum Monte Carlo simulations of finite and
periodic systems. Test data are presented for atoms, molecules, and solids, including both …

Optoelectronic devices based on layered materials such as graphene have resulted in
significant interest due to their unique properties and potential technological applications. The …

An inhomogeneous backflow transformation for many-particle wave functions is presented
and applied to electrons in atoms, molecules, and solids. We report variational and diffusion …

PURPOSE The Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN) is Canada’s
first national chronic disease surveillance system based on electronic health record (EHR…

Accessible summary Prevalence of dementia is expected to increase globally, and as such,
so is the demand on health, social, legal and financial services. It is important to understand …

Introduction Examination of the existing literature in respect of health expectations revealed
both ambiguity in relation to terminology, and relatively little work in respect of how abstract …
