Mrs. Lewis Yes, it has been frequently pointed out that a country with a strong chemical industry has a tremendous advantage in a conflict involving chemical weapons. Chemists, chemical knowledge, chemicals and chemical plants are needed to produce chemical weapons. These resources cannot be developed overnight.55... 

It is apparent that these complex future questions will require much more interaction between academic research and industry. The grand challenges in drug discovery require new types of interaction, networks, and clusters of knowledge. Chemical biology will not only be a major contributor but also a key driver.

The process is designed from a knowledge of physical concentrations, whereas aqueous effluent treatment systems are designed from a knowledge of BOD and COD. Thus we need to somehow establish the relationship between BOD, COD, and the concentration of waste streams leaving the process. Without measurements, relationships can only be established approximately. The relationship between BOD and COD is not easy to establish, since different materials will oxidize at different rates. To compound the problem, many wastes contain complex mixtures of oxidizable materials, perhaps together with chemicals that inhibit the oxidation reactions. 

Generate the data from the method of contributing groups which requires knowledge of the chemical structure and some careful attention. 

Knowledge of a crude oil s overall physical and chemical characteristics will determine what kind of initial treatment —associated gas separation and stabilization at the fi ld of production— transport, storage, and of course, price. 

Whatever the development of knowledge in the fields of chemical analysis and structure-property relationships, the characterization by determination of conventional properties of usage and other values related empirically to properties of usage will remain mandatory and unavoidable, as a minimum because it is required with regard to specifications. 

The applications of this simple measure of surface adsorbate coverage have been quite widespread and diverse. It has been possible, for example, to measure adsorption isothemis in many systems. From these measurements, one may obtain important infomiation such as the adsorption free energy, A G° = -RTln(K ) [21]. One can also monitor tire kinetics of adsorption and desorption to obtain rates. In conjunction with temperature-dependent data, one may frirther infer activation energies and pre-exponential factors [73, 74]. Knowledge of such kinetic parameters is useful for teclmological applications, such as semiconductor growth and synthesis of chemical compounds [75]. Second-order nonlinear optics may also play a role in the investigation of physical kinetics, such as the rates and mechanisms of transport processes across interfaces [76]. 

Despite the drawbacks of chemical-fixation based procedures [21,24], most of our current knowledge on biological ultrastnicture relies on this approach. In contrast to cryopreparative procedures, chemical fixation does not require special skills and instrumentation. 

The use of isotopic substitution to detennine stmctures relies on the assumption that different isotopomers have the same stmcture. This is not nearly as reliable for Van der Waals complexes as for chemically bound molecules. In particular, substituting D for H in a hydride complex can often change the amplitudes of bending vibrations substantially under such circumstances, the idea that the complex has a single stmcture is no longer appropriate and it is necessary to think instead of motion on the complete potential energy surface a well defined equilibrium stmcture may still exist, but knowledge of it does not constitute an adequate description of the complex. 

Our understanding of the development of oscillations, multi-stability and chaos in well stirred chemical systems and pattern fonnation in spatially distributed systems has increased significantly since the early observations of these phenomena. Most of this development has taken place relatively recently, largely driven by development of experimental probes of the dynamics of such systems. In spite of this progress our knowledge of these systems is still rather limited, especially for spatially distributed systems. 

In this manner, we have learned the laws and rules of nature, of compounds and their reactions. Thus, enough knowledge was accumulated to found an entire industry, the chemical industry, which produces a cornucopia of chemicals having a wide range of properties that allow us to maintain our present standard of living. 

However, this process of inductive learning is still not over we arc still far away from understanding and predicting all chemical phenomena. This is most vividly illustrated by our poor knowledge of the tindcsircd side effects of compounds, such as toxicity. Wc still have to strive to increase our knowledge of chemistry,... 

Once a reaction has been performed, we have to establish whether the reaction took the desired course, and whether we obtained the desired structure. For our knowledge of chemical reactions is stiU too cursory there are so many factors influencing the course of a chemical reaction that we are not always able to predict which products will be obtained, whether we also shall obtain side reactions, or whether the reaction will take a completely different course than expected. Thus we have to establish the structure of the reaction product (Figure 1-4). A similar problem arises when the degradation of a xenobiotic in the environment, or in a living organism, has to be established. 

All three tasks are generally too complicated to be solved from first principles. They are, therefore, tackled by making use of prior information, and of information that has been condensed into knowledge. The amount of information that has to be processed is often quite large. At present, more than 41 million different compounds are known all have a series of properties, physical, chemical, or biological all can be made in many different ways, by a wide range of reactions all can be characterized by a host of spectra. This immense amount of information can be processed only by electronic means, by the power of the computer. 

Inductive learning has been the major process of acquiring chemical knowledge from the very beginnings of chemistry - or, to make the point, alchemy. Chemists have done experiments, have made measurements on the properties of their compounds, have treated them with other compounds to study their reactions, and have run reactions to make new compounds. Systematic variations in the structure of compounds, or in reaction conditions, provided results that were ordered by developing models. These models then allowed predictions to be made. 

In the case of chemoinformatics this process of abstraction will be performed mostly to gain knowledge about the properties of compounds. Physical, chemical, or biological data of compounds will be associated with each other or with data on the structure of a compound. These pieces of information wQl then be analyzed by inductive learning methods to obtain a model that allows one to make predictions. 

Nomenclature is the compilation of descriptions of things and technical terms in a special field of knowledge, the vocabulary ofa technical language. In the history of chemistry, a systematic nomenclature became significant only rather late. In the early times of alchemy, the properties of the substance or its appearance played a major role in giving a compound a name. Libavius was the first person who tried to fix some kind of nomenclature in Alckeinia in 1,597. In essence, he gave names to chemical equipment and processes (methods, names that are often still valid in our times. 

Rings have a profound influence on many properties of a molecule small rings introduce. strain into a molecule, aromatic rings dramatically change its physical and chemical properties, rings present particular problems in syntheses, etc. Thus, a knowledge of the I ings contained in a molecule is important in many applications in chemoinformatics.
