A systematic study of six tetracyclones
has been carried out using
experimental and theoretical charge density analysis. A three pronged
approach based on quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), nucleus
independent chemical shifts (NICS) criterion, and source function
(SF) contributions has been performed to establish the degree of antiaromaticity
of the central five-membered ring in all the derivatives. Electrostatic
potentials mapped on the isodensity surface show that electron withdrawing
substituents turn both C and O atoms of the carbonyl group more electropositive
while retaining the direction of polarity

In many applications, time series forecasting plays an irreplaceable role in time-varying systems such as energy markets, financial markets, and so on. 
Predicting the dynamic of time-varying systems is essential but is a difficult task because it depends on not only the nature of the system but also on external influences, such as environmental conditions and social and economic status.

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are a special class of neural networks characterized by the recurrent internal connections, which enable to model the nonlinear dynamical system. 
Recently, they have been applied in the various forecasting tasks and reported that they outperform the forecast accuracy compared with conventional time series forecasting models. 
However, there is a limited study of time series forecasting using RNNs in the presence of missing data. 

In this thesis, we propose a novel model that utilize Dilated RNN(DRNN) and a modified attention mechanism, focusing on the problem of time series forecasting with missing data. 
The proposed model outperforms existing models such as AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA) and Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU), with respect to the forecast accuracy on benchmark datasets.
