Interactive techniques

For some systems a single determinant (SCFcalculation) is insufficient to describe the electronic wave function. For example, square cyclobutadiene and twisted ethylene require at least two configurations to describe their ground states. To allow several configurations to be used, a multi-electron configuration interaction technique has been implemented in HyperChem. 

Nuclear Overhauser effect—The nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) occurs only between nuclei that share a dipole coupling, i.e., their nuclei are so close that their magnetic dipoles interact. Techniques that use NOE enhance spectra and allow spacial relationships of protons to be determined. 

Beyond the Molecular Orbital Approach Introduction.—In principle an exact solution to the non-relativistic Schrodinger equations for a molecule can be achieved by the configuration interaction technique. A complete set of one-electron spin orbitals i is used to form a complete set of Slater determinants by choosing all possible ordered sets of n elements of the set of 4u s. A linear combination of these determinants is then used ... 

During the past few years, however, density functional theory (DFT) has become a serious alternative to conventional Hartree-Fock based approaches, also in the area of hyperfine structure calculations. The DFT methods have drastically expanded the size of the systems accessible to theoretical hfs studies. We will in this paper review some recent developments both in the field of ab initio configuration interaction techniques and in the field of density functional theory applied to hfs studies. 

One of the methods most frequently used in calculations of electronic excited states is the configuration interaction technique (CI). When combined with semiempirical Hamiltonians the CI method becomes an attractive method for investigations of electronic structure of large organic systems. Undoubtedly, it is the most popular method for calculations of electronic contributions to NLO properties based on the SOS formalism. The discussion of the CI/SOS techniques is presented in Section 4. 

An overview chapter by Hamel and Hunter presents the state of the art of research on bioseparations. Extraction processes using biphasic aqueous systems, liquid membranes, reversed-micellar systems, and membrane processes are all being actively studied. Significant advances in these topics, including predictive mathematical models, are presented in the first section. The second section includes several papers on affinity and other interaction techniques that are finding uses in protein purification. In the last section, we offer several reports that delineate advances in isolation and purification processes such as electrophoresis and chromatography.

Each of these tools uses similar visual interaction techniques as the ontology matching tools that we discussed in Sect. 3. However, there is more focus on data translation rule construction than with the ontology-related tools. In the next section, we discuss a different interaction approach, one based on creating matchings by harnessing the power of a community of users. 

Table 2.1 provides a high-level comparison between the surveyed tools. However, more details of comparison and evaluation are needed. In the next section, we discuss this need more deeply as well as other challenges facing the area of interactive techniques for ontology matching. 

Chiticariu et al. (2008), studied the generation of multiple mediated schemas for an existing set of data sources. They consider multitable data sources, not considered in this chapter, but explore interactive techniques that aid humans in arriving at the mediated schemas.

Various methods are available for the separation of biochemicals. These include physical methods of centrifugation and filtration, chemical methods of precipitation and extraction, and interactive techniques, such as electrophoresis and chromatography. These methods are employed to perform the steps necessary to purify biological materials from complex solutions. The isolation of a specific component (e.g. a protein) from a plasma source or a fermentation broth requires several steps ...
