Interactive input code

An interactive input code for PHRQPITZ called PITZINPT (i) is analogous to the PHREEQE input code, PHRQINPT (I. The reader is referred to the PHREEQE documentation (2) and the PHRQPITZ documentation (i) for further background and modeling information. 

An important approach to the graphic representation of molecules is the use of a connection table. A connection table is a data base that stores the available bond types and hybridizations for individual atoms. Using the chemical formula and the connection table, molecular stmctures may be generated through interactive graphics in a menu-driven environment (31—33) or by using a linear input of code words (34,35). The connection table approach may be carried to the next step, computer-aided molecular design (CAMD) (36). 

The Seismic Safety Margins Research Program developed a computer code called SMACS (Seismic Methodology Analysis Chain with Statistics) for calculating the seismic responses of structures, systems, and components. This code links the seismic input as ensembles of acceleration time histories with the calculations of the soil-structure interactions, the responses of major structures, and the responses of subsystems. Since uses a multi-support approach to perform the time-history response calculations for piping subsystems, the correlations between component responses can be handled explicitly. SMACS is an example of the codes that are available for calculating seismic response for PSA purposes. 

We have seen how an entire sequence of interactions between objects can be abstracted and described as a single joint action. We will next see how even in program code, an operation invocation itself has two sides the sender and the receiver. By using input and output parameters, a localized operation specification decouples the effect on the receiver from any information about the initiator. 

Consultation of an expert system is accomplished by using its Radial code representation as input to the Radial interpreter. The interpreter first performs completeness and consistency checks, and then provides interactive run-time support. 

Second, two structures may not interact if the codes of output and input information are incompatible. My body, for example, has learned to ride a bicycle, while I can sense that knowledge in my body, in the structure that mediates my experience of riding a bicycle when I actually am doing so, I cannot verbalize it in any adequate way. The nature of knowledge encoded in that particular structure does not code into the kind of knowledge that constitutes my verbal structures. 

We discuss some features of a model for calculation of p-strength functions, in particular some recent improvements. An essential feature of the model is that it takes the microscopic structure of the nucleus into account. The initial version of the model used Nilsson model wave functions as the starting point for determining the wave functions of the mother and daughter nuclei, and added a pairing interaction treated in the BCS approximation and a residual GT interaction treated in the RPA-approximation. We have developed a version of the code that uses Woods-Saxon wave functions as input. We have also improved the treatment of the odd-A Av=0 transitions, so that the singularities that occured in the old theory are now avoided. 

A recent theoretical study has suggested that persistent activity in the PFG is considered to be an attractor state, in that relatively small amounts of variation in this state lead it back to the same state. This idea has been examined in detail theoretically, especially by Amit, who described persistent activity in terms of dynamical attractors (Amit and Brunei, 1997 Rolls et al., 2008). The spontaneous state and stimulus-selective memory states are assumed to represent multiple attractors, such that a memory state can be switched on or off by transient inputs. This formulation is plausible, insomuch as stimulus-selective persistent firing patterns are dynamically stable in time. These properties of attractors result from interactions in neuronal circuits. Neural synchrony is a general mechanism for dynamically linking together cells coding task-relevant information (Salmas and Sejnowski, 2001). The dynamics of neuronal activities and the representations they reflect are two sides of a coin. 

An experiment involving a complex computer model or code may have tens or even hundreds of input variables and, hence, the identification of the more important variables (screening) is often crucial. Methods are described for decomposing a complex input-output relationship into effects. Effects are more easily understood because each is due to only one or a small number of input variables. They can be assessed for importance either visually or via a functional analysis of variance. Effects are estimated from flexible approximations to the input-output relationships of the computer model. This allows complex nonlinear and interaction relationships to be identified. The methodology is demonstrated on a computer model of the relationship between environmental policy and the world economy. 

The requirements for long pulse operation in the next step fusion device ITER and beyond, like acceptable power exhaust, peak load for steady state, transient loads, sufficient target lifetime, limited long term tritium retention in wall surfaces, acceptable impurity contamination in central plasma and efficient helium exhaust, depend on complex processes. The input to the numerical codes, which are used for the optimization of divertor and wall components, relies to a large extend on our understanding of the major processes related to erosion and deposition, tritium retention, impurity sources and erosion processes. The reliability of predictions made with these codes depends crucially on the accuracy of the atomic and plasma-material interaction data available. 

Figure 18.1 shows the selection menu for series 4. A typical interactive code operates through a sequence of three successive screens, namely input, processing and output. The input screen is for input file selection and directs the user to the appropriate data class (called ADAS data formats or adf s for short) libraries in the central ADAS database or to a user s personalized database - in ADAS organization. Such input is commonly a collection of... 

Using 51-nucleotide sequence windows, Nair et al. (1994) devised a neural network to predict the prokaryotic transcription terminator that has no well-defined consensus patterns. In addition to the BIN4 representation (51 x 4 input units), an EIIP coding strategy was used to reflect the physical property (Le., electron-ion interaction potential values) of the nucleotide base (51 units). The latter coding strategy reduced the input layer size and training time but provided similar prediction accuracy.

Information is fed into any structure in one or more way and comes out of the structure in one or more wavs. 151 We can say in general that for two structures to interact (1) they must have either a direct connection between them or some connections mediated by other structures, (2) their input and output information must be in the same code so information output from one makes sense to the input for the other, (3) the output signals of one structure must not be so weak that they are below the threshold for reception by the other structure, (4) the output signals of one structure must not be so strong that they overload the input of the other structure. 

With the development of much faster computers and more reliable, more efficient computer codes for electronic structure calculations, a solution to both the above problems is to calculate both the orientation and principal values of the required interaction tensor from first principles, from an input molecular or (preferably) crystal structure. 

The user can select different models (Pitzer, Davies, and SIT) for calculating the activity coefficients of aqueous solutions. All of the input data are user-defined. The code can be used just as a calculational tool where all of the inputs are defined and solution equilibria calculated, or as a tool to optimise values of chemical potentials for different species and/or ion-interaction parameters, based on best fits to given experimental data. Multiple data sets of a specific chemical system (e.g., solubility of a sohd phase) in different media can be evaluated simultaneously. 

However, the codes were pretty machine-dependent and certainly could not be used as black boxes. In these respects the codes were no better (and no worse) than any others available in the United States and elsewhere. Computational chemistry codes became portable in a routine way only in the 1980s, when also their operation became transparent to users, with the widespread use of free-format input, made interactive on an interface with suitable graphics. In fact, free-format input was actually a feature of the ATMOL suite, and so it was rather ahead of its time.
