While biomedical critics commonly affiliate mcs with new-age spiritualism, there were actually more Christian cells, which exphdtly invoked the Christian tradition of personal salvation. The Alpha Omega Christian Communities for the Chemically lU was a ministry in San Antonio, Texas, that met in an outdoor chapel and was founded by a woman for the chemically injured. Searching for both spiritual and environmental salvation, the ministry drew on the American tradition of linking salvation to new lands. Guided by the Word from God, members sought to form a Christian community for the chemically injured, called Eagle Ranch The Eagle Ranch is owned by no man, but by Yahweh the God of the Bible. It exists because the Father ordained it, Jesus came to hve here and the Holy Spirit led people to donate time, land, or money so His children, the chemically injured, may have a safe place to hve. 5i Safe space saves, both in the physical and spiritual realm. 

Even in this fiiirly diverse data set of structures, the dopamine and benzodiazepine agonists could be separated quite well only two neurons had collisions between these two types ol compounds. Even more importantly, however, we now know in which chemical space one would have to search For new lead structures for dopamine or for benzodiazepine agonists. 

The E-state indices may define chemical spaces that are relevant in similarity/ diversity search in chemical databases. This similarity search is based on atom-type E-state indices computed for the query molecule [55]. Each E-state index is converted to a z score, Z =(% -p )/0 , where is the ith E-state atomic index, p is its mean and O is its standard deviation in the entire database. The similarity was computed with the EucHdean distance and with the cosine index and the database used was the Pomona MedChem database, which contains 21000 chemicals. Tests performed for the antiinflamatory drug prednisone and the antimalarial dmg mefloquine as query molecules demonstrated that the chemicals space defined by E-state indices is efficient in identifying similar compounds from drug and drug-tike databases. 

One of the projects planned for the next decade is Darwin, to be organised by ESA. Darwin will be a flotilla of four or five spacecraft that will search for Earth-like planets around other stars and analyse their atmospheres for the chemical signature of life. Three of the spacecraft will carry 3 1 m space telescopes , which will form the Infrared Space Interferometer IRSI they will be stationed 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, in the opposite direction from the Sun, at the Lagrangian Point L2 (a libration point at which the gravitational forces of the Earth and the sun cancel out). 

There is no reason to believe that stomatal opening is different in leaves of different ages, so the entry of PAN into the intercellular spaces of the leaf is probably the same as the entry of ozone. One can hypothesize that the chemical composition of the leaf is such that resistance is conferred at particular physiologic states. Such a hypothesis would lead to a search for compounds that combat the oxidizing and acylating properties of PAN. 

Once the initial diversity fetish had run its course and management realized that it was inefficient to attempt to span the entirety of chemical space in search of drugs, more rational approaches based on chemoinformatics were developed to design combinatorial libraries and select candidates for screening on the basis of properties that have proven to be associated with successful therapeutics in the past. 

In chemoinformatics research, partitioning algorithms are applied in diversity analysis of large compound libraries, subset selection, or the search for molecules with specific activity (1-4). Widely used partitioning methods include cell-based partitioning in low-dimensional chemical spaces (1,3) and decision tree methods, in particular, recursive partitioning (RP) (5-7). Partitioning in low-dimensional chemical spaces is based on various dimension reduction methods (4,8) and often permits simplified three-dimensional representation of... 

The search for new-energy devices recognizes that in addition to new chemical discoveries and low-energy nuclear reactions, the tapping the energy of space is an acceptable energy source for one or more new energy devices.
