Conceptual profiling considerations

Emotion profiling versus conceptual profiling - some theoretical considerations... 

The practical considerations involved in conceptual profiling and the associated analysis tools developed by the author and his colleagues at MMR Research Worldwide are described in detail in a suite of recent, peer-reviewed scientific publications (Thomson, et al, 2010 Crocker and Thomson, 2014 Thomson and Crocker, 2014). 

In order to facilitate deduction of excited-state properties (Johnson and Peticolas, 1976 Warshel, 1977) considerable activity ensued in the analysis of resonance Raman spectra and excitation profiles. However, progress was limited by the conceptual and computational clumsiness of Eq. (6.1-1). Only for small molecules it has been possible to calculate resonance Raman spectra numerically by means of Eq. (6.1-1) (see for example Strempel and Kiefer, 1991 a-c and references therein). The main problem arises through the summation over many states which for large polyatomic molecules is nearly impossible to perform.
