Cooper algorithm

Other moves are specific for dilute solutions (or single chain simulations) and very congested systems (as melts). Some complex rules involving different chains have been developed for the equilibrium study of melts of linear chains, such as the cooperative motion algorithm [105] where beads are moved cooper-... 

Pakula et al. [155] have used the cooperative motion algorithm to study melts of stars with up to 64 units. They studied the internal bead profiles and the correlations of the star centers of mass. They observed an ordering of the systems of stars with high functionalities. 

Gauger and Pakula [191] performed an MC simulation of comb polymers on the fee lattice in dilute and dense media, using the cooperative motion algorithm. It is shown that, unlike linear chains, the EV screening does not appear in the global mean size dependence on N. However, this screening is complete for the branches in the melt, which exhibit ideal behavior. 

Pakula and Zhulina [213] have simulated dry brushes at melt densities in contact with a repulsive wall. They used the cooperative motion algorithm. Their re-... 

Parallel machines. Interprocessor communication becomes the problem to solve (for algorithms that won t fit on a single processor, this assumes that the algorithm can be decomposed for multiple processors and intermediate results can be communicated between cooperating processors). 

To take into account the effect of wrapping on dielectric-dependent pairwise interactions and assess its role in defining cooperativity, we have adopted a semiem-pirical procedure to algorithmically keep track of the conformation-dependent microenvironments. Thus, the in-bulk potential energy contributions are regarded as zero-order terms, while cooperative effects arise due to the wrapping of favorable interactions brought about by hydrophobic third-body participation (cf. Fig. 3.2c).

Updating and validating such algorithms and their databases are also critical aspects. At this time, the European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research (Project COST B15) had begun an independent evaluation of existing expert systems used in the in silico prediction of ADME properties, with a view of publishing a consensus paper.
