Computer experiment result

Verification evaluates the accuracy of received data by the extent of their adequacy with similar data determined in a different way. It may be reliable only in really existing objects by way of comparison of the computation experiment results with observations in the field. Actually, verification includes evaluation forecast results reliability. Whereas validation confirms that the program is correct, verification proves that it may be used for solving the set problem. 

In analytical chemistry, a number of identical measurements are taken and then an error is estimated by computing the standard deviation. With computational experiments, repeating the same step should always give exactly the same result, with the exception of Monte Carlo techniques. An error is estimated by comparing a number of similar computations to the experimental answers or much more rigorous computations. 

The functionality available in MedChem Explorer is broken down into a list of available computational experiments, including activity prediction, align/ pharmacophore, overlay molecules, conformer generation, property calculation, and database access. Within each experiment, the Web system walks the user through a series of questions that must be answered sequentially. The task is then submitted to a remote server, where it is performed. The user can view the progress of the work in their Web browser at any time. Once complete, the results of the calculation are stored on the server. The user can then run subsequent experiments starting with those results. The Web interface includes links to help pages at every step of the process. 

One other remark of Vineyard s in 1972, made with evident feeling, is worth repeating here Worthwhile computer experiments require time and care. The easy understandability of the results tends to conceal the painstaking hours that went into conceiving and formulating the problem, selecting the parameters of a model. 

The experiments result in an explicit measure of the change in the shock-wave compressibility which occurs at 2.5 GPa. For the small compressions involved (2% at 2.5 GPa), the shock-wave compression is adiabatic to a very close approximation. Thus, the isothermal compressibility Akj- can be computed from the thermodynamic relation between adiabatic and isothermal compressibilities. Furthermore, from the pressure and temperature of the transition, the coefficient dO/dP can be computed. The evaluation of both Akj-and dO/dP allow the change in thermal expansion and specific heat to be computed from Eq. (5.8) and (5.9), and a complete description of the properties of the transition is then obtained. 

This ranking exercise can be assigned to one or two team members as a subtask. Consider selecting a teammate with experience in facility operations to compile the necessary data and one with process safety and computer experience to run the models. The resulting report can then be shared with the full team and included in the plan you submit to your management. 

Figure 4.2 shows the computer simulation results of such a dynamic aeration experiment. The y-axis shows the response fraction with respect to time. The gas phase response is typically first-order, and the liquid phase shows some lag or delay on the signal. The electrode response is much more delayed for a slow-acting electrode.4... 

Judging by these results the angular momentum relaxation in a dense medium has the form of damped oscillations of frequency jRo = (Rctc/to)i and decay decrement 1/(2tc). This conclusion is quantitatively verified by computer experiments [45, 54, 55]. Most of them were concerned with calculations of the autocorrelation function of the translational velocity v(t). However the relation between v(t) and the force F t) acting during collisions is the same as that between e> = J/I and M. Therefore, the results are qualitatively similar. In Fig. 1.8 we show the correlation functions of the velocity and force for the liquid state density. Oscillations are clearly seen, which point to a regular character of collisions and non-Markovian nature of velocity changes. 

Tribology performances and applications of ordered molecular films have been a long-standing research subject in SKLT, the workplace for the authors of this book. Hu and Luo [42] prepared SAMs of fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) and poly-fluorealkylmethacrylate (PFAM) on the magnetic head of computer hard disk drivers. Experiment results show that the molecular films greatly improve the performance of the... 

It is noticed that the Green s function A (x) has one singularity when Xy = 0, but it can be eliminated by an integration over the element around the point Xy=0. A computation experiment shows that Eq (30) may result in a significant numerical error when coarser grids are employed. 

Note on notation Relations from breakup, coalescence, fragmentation, and aggregation are based on either actual experiments or numerical simulations, the latter commonly referred to as computer experiments. Computer experiments are often based on crude simplifying assumptions and actual experiments are always subject to errors the strict use of the equality sign in many of the final results may therefore be misleading. In order to accurately represent the uncertainty associated with the results, the following notation is adopted ... 

Sometimes the theoretical or computational approach to description of molecular structure, properties, and reactivity cannot be based on deterministic equations that can be solved by analytical or computational methods. The properties of a molecule or assembly of molecules may be known or describable only in a statistical sense. Molecules and assemblies of molecules exist in distributions of configuration, composition, momentum, and energy. Sometimes, this statistical character is best captured and studied by computer experiments molecular dynamics, Brownian dynamics, Stokesian dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods. Interaction potentials based on quantum mechanics, classical particle mechanics, continuum mechanics, or empiricism are specified and the evolution of the system is then followed in time by simulation of motions resulting from these direct...

(a)-(d) indicate changes in interface state for varying awhile keeping A/n/kT constant (e) shows a step created by a screw dislocation at equihbirum, A/ir/kT=0,and (f)-(h) show how it advances under A/ir/kT=1.5, with a constant.

The number of basis functions (defined by the chosen basis sets) used to construct the molecular orbitals also strongly affects the effort/accuracy ratio. The use of minimal basis sets yielded wrong results (56), whereas reasonable agreement with experiment is obtained when double zeta plus polarization basis sets are applied. Correlated methods require larger basis sets to include as much electron correlation as possible. This implies that in addition to the increased computational demand of such methods, a further increase of the computational cost results due to the requirement of using larger basis sets.
