PARIN first loads all pure component data by reading two records per component. The total number of components, M, in the library or data deck must be known beforehand. Next the associ-ation/solvation parameters are input for M components. Finally all the established UNIQUAC binary interaction parameters (or noncondensable-condensable interaction parameters) are read.

The reinaining five search topics (Research Topic, Author Name, Document Identifier, Company Namc/Organii ation, and Browse Table of Contents arc conducted in a similar fashion, with the input being the only difference between the criteria. Thus, in Research Topic" the entry can be any, or even several, keywords or phrases. In "Author Name", literature written by a specific author will be Found, including alternative spelling, Document Identifier" can also be entered directly in the query. Document identifiers arc CA abstract numbers, patent numbers, patent application numbers, or priority application numbers. The last two search topics (Company Name/Organi2ation, and Browse Table ofContents) allow one to search for literature from specific companies or to view the list of journals which are available in the database. 

Another way is to define an improper torsion angle e- (for atoms 1-2-3-4 in Figure 7-11 in combination with a potential lihe V((r- = fc l-cos2fi.-), which has its minima at <> = 0 and 7t. This of course implies the risk that, if the starting geometry is far from reality, the optimi2 ation will perhaps lead to the wrong local minimum. 

Iteration of the steps, descriptor selection, model building, and model validation in combination with an optimi ation algorithm allows one to select a descriptor subset having maximum predictivity.

Transition stale search algorithms rather climb up the potential energy surface, unlike geometry optimi/.ation routines where an energy minimum is searched for. The characterization of even a simple reaction potential surface may result in location of more than one transition structure, and is likely to require many more individual calculations than are necessary to obtain et nilibrinm geometries for either reactant or product.

A con jugate gradicri I method differs from the steepest descent technique by using both the current gradient and the previous search direction to drive the rn in im i/ation. , A conjugate gradient method is a first order in in im i/er. 

The advan tage ol a conjugate gradien t m iniim/er is that it uses th e minim i/ation history to calculate the search direction, and converges t asLer Lhan the steepest descent technique. It also contains a scaling factor, b, for determining step si/e. This makes the step si/es optimal when compared to the steepest descent lechniciue. 

Example Com pare the steps of a conjugate gradien t min im i/ation with the steepest descent method.. A molecular system can reach a potential minimum after the second step if the first step proceeds from, A to B. If the first step is too large, placing the system at D, the second step still places the system near the tninimum(K ) because the optim i/,er remembers the penultimate step.
