X-ray crystal structures were used for the production of computer projected images of inclusion complexes of structural isomers, enantiomers and dlastereomers with a- or B-cyclodextrin. These projections allow for a visual evaluation of the interaction that occurs between various molecules and cyclodextrin, and an understanding of the mechanism for chromatographic resolution of these agents with bonded phase chromatography. 

This review will illustrate examples of computer projected models of inclusion complexes of structural isomers (ortho, meta, para nitrophenol), enantiomers (d- and 1- propranolol) and diastereomers [cis and trans. l(p-B-dimethylaminoethoxy-phenyl-butene), tamoxifen] in either a- or B-cyclodextrin. The use of these computer projections of the crystal structures of these complexes allows for the demonstration and prediction of the chromatographic behavior of these agents on immobilized cyclodextrin.

The unique power of the scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) technique is its ability to examine isolated unstained structures in projection by mapping boundaries, internal mass distribution, and site-specific cluster labels, as well as measuring total mass. The digital STEM image can be compared directly to a computed projection of a model structure assembled from known or postulated components. If any feature of the proposed model is incorrect, the STEM image will provide direct statistical evidence as to the extent and significance of the discrepancy. This objective approach permits inclusion of a priori information from biochemistry and/or other structural studies to form a self-...

In contrast,Chapter 11 looks at the very recent introduction of computer-based multimedia technologies into chemical education as a way of forging macro/sub-micro/symbolic links. Chiu and Wu discuss the value of such approaches as, respectively, a modelling tool, a learning tool, an assessment tool and an instructional tool. Their thesis is given added weight by the inclusion of results from classroom development and evaluation projects. 

Virtually all CFD fire models assume low Mach number flow, which is adequate in typical fire application, but not for high velocity cases and explosions. Inclusion of the compressibility effects in fire simulations would increase the computational cost considerably. One of the few compressible fire models is the Uintah Computational Framework developed at C-SAFE project of the University of Utah [7],... 

Three known facts are essentially important in the development of a divide-and-conquer strategy. First, the KS Hamiltonian is a single particle operator that depends only on the total density, not on individual orbitals. This enables one to project the energy density in real space in the same manner in which one projects the density (see below). Second, any complete basis set can solve the KS equation exactly no matter where the centers of the basis functions are. Thus, one has the freedom to select the centers. It is well known that for a finite basis set the basis functions can be tailored to better represent wavefunctions, and thus the density, of a particular region. The inclusion of basis functions at the midpoint of a chemical bond is the best known example. Finally, the atomic centered basis functions used in almost all quantum chemistry computations decay exponentially. Hence both the density and the energy density contributed by atomic centered basis functions also decrease rapidly. All these... 

Within each application project, the CCSD(F12) energy calculation was only a part of the whole computational procedure. The accurate determination of the thermodynamic quantities requires the inclusion of various contributions. For instance, one should include the effects from the levels of theory that are far enough in terms of the hierarchy of the many-body models (CCSD, (T), CCSDT, (Q) and so on) but also other contributions are important [e.g. non-adiabatic and relativistic effects). Such composite approach was applied and, at each level of theory including the CCSD(F12) model, the largest possible basis set was used. This led to a very good agreement with experimental data. 

The data analyzed in this book come from our work with Big School on developing a vision for diversity and inclusion. We collected data in two ways for this project. Like Big Bank, we facilitated focus groups in which we collected oral and written responses to our question. We took this approach because some employees were not computer literate or didn t have access to a computer and we wanted to include their voices. We interacted with hundreds of people in this manner. However, the bulk of our responses came from the thousands of stakeholders (mostly internal) who completed an online survey, which we launched. In addition to posing the same questions as the focus group, the online survey allowed us to collect demographic and institutional data from respondents. Like Big Bank and Big Store, this enabled us to analyze patterns by various identity group memberships. 

The addition of "polarization" functions, which are d-orbital type basis functions, permits greater flexibility in the calculated charge distribution and can be added to both minimal and split valence basis sets. Their inclusion is designated by an asterisk. They are most commonly added to split valence basis sets the most widely used of these is the 6-31G. Since the number of integrals evaluated in an SCF calculation increases as N , where N is the number of gaussian functions, the choice of a basis set for any specific project must be made with accuracy, computational cost and speed in mind. For very large systems, a... 

By scanning the 1.5 m diameter boule surface with a field of view of 50 mm, the detection of inclusions down to 0.3 mm is possible in the whole volume. Focusing in the z direction provides the axial position of the inclusion, radial and azimuthual positions are obtained by projection of the inclusion s position to the polished front surface of the boule. After mapping of the entire boule, a computer optimization procedure allows us to find the best position of the final mirror blank in the boule.
