The constants a, are considered typical for each element i and are determined by a least-squares fit to already available experimental data. Connectivity numbers have found applications also in topological and graphical theories to describe chemical phenomena [87].

Molecular orbitals were one of the first molecular features that could be visualized with simple graphical hardware. The reason for this early representation is found in the complex theory of quantum chemistry. Basically, a structure is more attractive and easier to understand when orbitals are displayed, rather than numerical orbital coefficients. The molecular orbitals, calculated by semi-empirical or ab initio quantum mechanical methods, are represented by isosurfaces, corresponding to the electron density surfeces Figure 2-125a). 

The book divides itself quite naturally into two parts The first six ehapters are on general seientifie eomputing applieations and the last seven ehapters are devoted to moleeular orbital ealculations, moleeular meehanies, and molecular graphics. The reader who wishes only a tool box of eornputational methods will find it in the first part. Those skilled in numerieal methods might read only the second. The book is intended, however, as an entity, with many eonneetions between the two parts, showing how ehapters on moleeular orbital theory depend on eornputational teehniques developed earlier. 

Thermodynamic properties such as heats of reaction and heats of formation can be computed mote rehably by ab initio theory than by semiempirical MO methods (55). However, the Hterature of the method appropriate to the study should be carefully checked before a technique is selected. Finally, the role of computer graphics in evaluating quantum mechanical properties should not be overlooked. As seen in Figures 2—6, significant information can be conveyed with stick models or various surfaces with charge properties mapped onto them. Additionally, information about orbitals, such as the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), which ate important sites of reactivity in electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions, can be plotted readily. Figure 7 shows representations of the HOMO and LUMO, respectively, for the antiulcer dmg Zantac. 

There is considerable scholarly speculation on ancient precursors of copyright. However, no significant copyright protection existed in theory or practice until the development of the printing press, a means of mass dupHcation of creative work. The law did not need a coherent protective stmcture for written and graphic works when the only means of copying them, by hand, was so labor-intensive as to requite an investment potentially far in excess of the worth of the copy.

It covers the principles of engineering drawings, computer graphics, descriptive geometry, and problem solving. The overall study of graphics involves the three basic aspects of terminology, skills, and theory. 

By a brilliant physical intuition B. van der Pol succeeded finally (1920) in establishing his equation (which is given in Section 6.11) but, not having any mathematical theory at his disposal, he determined the nature of Ike solution by the graphical method of isoclines. It became obvious that the problem, which was a real stumbling block for many years, had been finally solved, at least in principle. 

So much for theory The interesting thing is to ponder what went contrary to expectations, and to try to find explanations. It is here that graphical presentations are helpful to judge the plausibility of any effect A correlation, is only a correlation, and can come about because of a single point that bucks the trend. 

In a tiny fraction of cases, a quick formula can be used. For most cases, the analysis uses an options tree, with one leaf per possible outcome. However, this falls prey to the curse of dimensionality —the number of leaves on the tree grows exponentially in the number of risk and decision dimensions considered. Thus only a limited, simple set of situations can be optimized in this way because one has to severely limit the decisions and risks that are considered. Tools available to help automate and simplify options analysis, widely used in pharmaceutical project evaluation, include Excel addons such as R1SK [11] and more graphically based solutions such as DPL [12]. Both of these support the creation and evaluation of decision trees and of influence diagrams Figure 11.2 shows a simple example of each of these. A primer in applied decision theory is Clemen s book Making Hard Decisions, other sources may be found in the website of James Vornov, Director of Clinical Research at Guildford Pharmaceuticals, a recent convert to decision theory for options analysis [13].
