A computer file of about 19,000 peak wavenumbers and intensities, along with search software, is distributed by the Infrared Data Committee of Japan (IRDC). Donated spectra, which are evaluated by the Coblentz Society in coUaboration with the Joint Committee on Atomic and Molecular Physical Data (JCAMP), are digitized and made avaUable (64). Almost 25,000 ir spectra are avaUable on the SDBS system developed by the NCLl as described. A project was initiated at the University of California, Riverside, in 1986 for the constmction of a database of digitized ftir spectra. The team involved also developed algorithms for spectra evaluation (75). Other sources of spectral Hbraries include Sprouse Scientific, Aston Scientific, and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Data Analysis. PeakFit version 2.0 from AISN software, Jandel Scientific (Corte Madera, California) was used to separate overlapping transitions in tan(S) and e" versus temperature plots. TA Instruments model 2000 thermal analyzer was used with version 4.1 time-temperature superposition software to analyze the stress data. 

The HPLC system comprised a Beckman 116 programable solvent pump with a Beckman 168 photodiode detector— this was checked and data were processed with the Gold Nouveau software system (Beckman Coulter, Palo Alto, California, U.S.A.) and a Beckman 507 automatic injector with a 100.0 p.1 loop and a heating chamber for the columns. Analyses were carried out with an Ultrasphere ODS column (5.00 p-m particle size, 15.0 cm X 4.60 mm I.D.) purchased from Beckman Coulter. A guard column (2.00 cm X 2.00 mm I.D.), packed with Sperisorb RP-18 (30.0 0.0 pm pellicular), was supplied by Upchurch Scientific (Oak Harbor, Washington, U.S.A.). 

Judith C. Hempel was assistant chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas, Austin, 2002-2003. Previously, she was associate director of the Molecular Design Institute at the University of California, San Francisco, and was a member of the scientific staff of the computational chemistry software company Biosym/MSI and a founding member of the computer-aided drug design group at SmithKline. She received her B.S., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry at the University of Texas, Austin. She served as a member of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board from 1996 to 2001. Her research expertise is in theoretical and computational chemistry.
