Many problems in force field investigations arise from the calculation of Coulomb interactions with fixed charges, thereby neglecting possible mutual polarization. With that obvious drawback in mind, Ulrich Sternberg developed the COSMOS (Computer Simulation of Molecular Structures) force field [30], which extends a classical molecular mechanics force field by serai-empirical charge calculation based on bond polarization theory [31, 32]. This approach has the advantage that the atomic charges depend on the three-dimensional structure of the molecule. Parts of the functional form of COSMOS were taken from the PIMM force field of Lindner et al., which combines self-consistent field theory for r-orbitals ( nr-SCF) with molecular mechanics [33, 34].

There are many other examples of interrelationship. Symmetry, for example, is of fundamental importance in the sciences and arts alike. It plays a key role in our understanding of the atomic world as well as the cosmos. The handedness of molecules, with nature selecting one... 

There are many technical details involved in SCRF calculations, many of which the user can control. Readers of this book are advised to use the default values as much as possible unless they have carefully examined the original literature and tested their modifications. PCM methods are generally more accurate than the Onsager and COSMO methods. 

The conductor-like screening model (COSMO) is a continuum method designed to be fast and robust. This method uses a simpler, more approximate equation for the electrostatic interaction between the solvent and solute. Line the SMx methods, it is based on a solvent accessible surface. Because of this, COSMO calculations require less CPU time than PCM calculations and are less likely to fail to converge. COSMO can be used with a variety of semiempirical, ah initio, and DFT methods. There is also some loss of accuracy as a result of this approximation. 

An improved version, called COSMO for realistic solvents (COSMO-RS), has also been created. This method has an improved scheme for modeling nonelectrostatic effects. It can be adapted for modeling the behavior of molecules in any solvent and, gives increased accuracy of results as compared to COSMO. 

A number of types of calculations can be performed. These include optimization of geometry, transition structure optimization, frequency calculation, and IRC calculation. It is also possible to compute electronic excited states using the TDDFT method. Solvation effects can be included using the COSMO method. Electric fields and point charges may be included in the calculation. Relativistic density functional calculations can be run using the ZORA method or the Pauli Hamiltonian. The program authors recommend using the ZORA method.

Helium, plentiful in the cosmos, is a product of the nuclear fusion reactions that are the prime source of stellar energy. The other members of the hehum-group gases are thought to have been created like other heavier elements by further nuclear condensation reactions occurring at the extreme temperatures and densities found deep within stars and in supernovas.
