Turning to step lb, we now seek a form of Eq. [1] appropriately differentiated with respect to time, to include the Lagrangian multipliers and their derivatives up to order requires taking the s -I- 2 derivative with re-

Having evaluated the forces of constraint and their derivatives up to or-der Sj gjj in step 1, we can integrate numerically the constrained equations of motion Eq. [2j ... 

The integration of the equations of motion In this step, the forces of constraint and their time derivatives up to order s nax obtained from step 1, are used as input to the selected integration scheme, to generate the constrained coordinates. Note that the particular choice of numerical integration algorithm in step 2 determines the parameter of step 1. 

Jorgensen has parameterized by fitting properties of bulk liquids to Monte Carlo simulations to give the AMBER/OPLS force field (26,157, 158). Conceptually, one is attracted ly the use of liquids and their observable properties as constraints during the derivation of a force field that is destined to study the properties of solvated molecules. 

Some general aspects of the reservoir flow problem and the corresponding fundamental equations of reservoir flow are reviewed briefly. A detailed discussion of the governing equations and their derivation from physical constraints is given in the textbook [2] of Aziz and Settari. Petroleum reservoirs consist of hydrocarbons and other chemicals trapped in the pores of a rock. If the rock permits and if the fluid is sufficiently forced, the fluid can flow from one location to another within a reservoir. By the injection of additional fluids and the release of pressure during the production phase the flow rates and the mixture of chemicals can be controlled by petroleum engineers. 

The dWi are Gaussian white noise processes, and their strength a is related to the kinetic friction y through the fluctuation-dissipation relation.72 When deriving integrators for these methods, one has to be careful to take into account the special character of the random forces employed in these simulations.73 A variant of the velocity Verlet method, including a stochastic dynamics treatment of constraints, can be found in Ref. 74. The stochastic... 

The Lagrange multipliers A - of the constraints depend now only on the electronic part. For their determination see [3], Of course the nuclei are also propagated, their positions being obtained according to (7). From these new positions, i.e., new nuclear positions and new coefficients, the forces on the nuclei F(R/) and those on the electrons f,- are obtained. Again, the velocities of the coefficients are derived as... 

It suggests that it is not the size of the ring but the number of electrons present in it determines whether a molecule would be aromatic or antiaromatic. In fact the molecules with An+ 2) n electrons are aromatic whereas with (An, 0) n electrons are antiaromatic. Thus, benzene, cyclopropenyl cation, cyclobutadiene dication (or dianion), cyclopentadie-nyl anion, tropylium ion, cyclooctatetraene dication (or dianion), etc. possess (4 + 2) ti electrons and hence aromatic whereas cyclobutadiene, cyclopentadienyl cation, cycloheptatrienyl anion, cyclooctatetraene (non-planar) etc. have An n electrons which make them antiaromatic . Systems like [10] annulene are forced to adopt a nonplanar conformation due to transannular interaction between two hydrogen atoms and hence their aromaticity gets reduced even if they have (An + 2)n electrons. On the other hand the steric constraints in systems like cyclooctatetraene force it to adopt a tube-like non-planar conformation which in turn reduces its antiaromaticity. Various derivatives of benzene like phenol, toluene, aniline, nitrobenzene etc. are also aromatic where the benzene ring and the n sextet are preserved. In homoaromatic " systems, like cyclooctatrienyl cation, delocalization does not extend over the whole molecule. 

In molecular dynamics (MD) simulation atoms are moved in space along their lines of force (which are determined from the first derivative of the potential energy function) using finite difference methods [27, 28]. At each time step the evolution of the energy and forces allow the accelerations on each atom to be determined, in turn allowing the atom changes in velocities and positions to be evaluated and hence allows the system clock to move forward, typically in time steps of the order of a few fs. Bulk system properties such as temperature and pressure are easily determined from the atom positions and velocities. As a result simulations can be readily performed at constant temperature and volume (NVT ensemble) or constant temperature and pressure (NpT ensemble). The constant temperature and pressure constraints can be imposed using thermostats and barostat [29-31] in which additional variables are coupled to the system which act to modify the equations of motion.
