Development of Computational Tools

An area that is receiving considerable attention is the development of computational tools to meaningfully analyze data obtained using high-throughput experiments. These techniques have the potential to reveal important information otherwise buried within a sea... 

Finally, we cannot overlook the development of computational tools for the solution of problems in fluid mechanics and transport processes. Methods of increasing sophistication have been developed that now enable quantitative solutions of some of the most complicated and vexing problems at least over limited parameter regimes, including direct numerical simulation of turbulent flows so-called free-boundary problems that typically involve large interface or boundary deformations induced by flow and methods to solve flow problems for complex fluids, which are typically characterized by viscoelastic constitutive equations and complicated flow behavior. 

The RD D programme of the CAREM project has been advanced to the stage when robustness of the design components is to be demonstrated. Development of computer tools to assist the designer in cost-benefit safety design optimisation could be rated as one of important achievements of the CAREM project. 

ApoCom is a pre-eminent provider of computational tools and services to assist the research community in their quest to identify new DNA coding regions for use in the discovery of new drugs, diagnostics, and the development of enhanced crops. ApoCom Genomics supports companies and researchers active in pharmaceutical, biomedical, agricultural, chemical, and environmental research. 

Despite the recent rapid development of computer technology and numerical methods, the rate-based approach in its current realization still often requires a significant computational effort, with related numerical difficulties. This is one of the reasons the application of rate-based models to industrial tasks is rather limited. Therefore, further work is required in order to bridge this gap and provide chemical engineers with reliable, consistent, robust, and comfortable simulation tools for reactive separation processes. 

Parallel to the rapid development of instrumental analytical chemistry came the explosive development of computer science and technology, a very powerful tool for the solution of the above problems. It became easier for chemists, and especially analytical chemists, to apply computers and advanced statistical and mathematical methods in their own working fields. It is, therefore, not surprising that these two revolutionary developments led to the formation of a new chemical subdiscipline, called chemometrics.
