Monte Carlo simulations for

The idea of a finite simulation model subsequently transferred into bulk solvent can be applied to a macromolecule, as shown in Figure 5a. The alchemical transformation is introduced with a molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulation for the macromolecule, which is solvated by a limited number of explicit water molecules and otherwise surrounded by vacuum. Then the finite model is transferred into a bulk solvent continuum...

In fact, the variable x /Gi controls the "crossover" from one "universality class" " to the other. I.e., there exists a crossover scaling description where data for various Gi (i.e., various N) can be collapsed on a master curve Evidence for this crossover scaling has been seen both in experiments and in Monte Carlo simulations for the bond fluctuation model of symmetric polymer mixtures, e.g Fig. 1. One expects a scaling of the form...

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations are being used to study the reactions of anionic nucleophiles with carbonyl compounds in the gas phase. A rich variety of energy surfaces is found as shown here for reactions of hydroxide ion with methyl formate and formaldehyde, chloride ion with formyl and acetyl chloride, and fluoride ion with formyl fluoride. Extension of these investigations to determine the influence of solvation on the energy profiles is also underway the statistical mechanics approach is outlined and illustrated by results from Monte Carlo simulations for the addition of hydroxide ion to formaldehyde in water. 

The lattice gas has been used as a model for a variety of physical and chemical systems. Its application to simple mixtures is routinely treated in textbooks on statistical mechanics, so it is natural to use it as a starting point for the modeling of liquid-liquid interfaces. In the simplest case the system contains two kinds of solvent particles that occupy positions on a lattice, and with an appropriate choice of the interaction parameters it separates into two phases. This simple version is mainly of didactical value [1], since molecular dynamics allows the study of much more realistic models of the interface between two pure liquids [2,3]. However, even with the fastest computers available today, molecular dynamics is limited to comparatively small ensembles, too small to contain more than a few ions, so that the space-charge regions cannot be included. In contrast, Monte Carlo simulations for the lattice gas can be performed with 10 to 10 particles, so that modeling of the space charge poses no problem. In addition, analytical methods such as the quasichemical approximation allow the treatment of infinite ensembles. 

When the two phases separate the distribution of the solvent molecules is inhomogeneous at the interface this gives rise to an additional contribution to the free energy, which Henderson and Schmickler treated in the square gradient approximation [36]. Using simple trial functions, they calculated the density profiles at the interface for a number of system parameters. The results show the same qualitative behavior as those obtained by Monte Carlo simulations for the lattice gas the lower the interfacial tension, the wider is the interfacial region in which the two solvents mix (see Table 3). 

Figure 1. Results of Monte Carlo simulations for 1500 pairs of x, y points with a mean of 100, Ganssian errors of 10 (1 o), and four different x-y error correlations (p). Elhpses show 95% confidence hmits for the joint x-y distribution. Note that the ellipses extend farther than the 2o range of either the x or j errors themselves—a non-intuitive characteristic of joint distributions that arises because an x- (or y-) value deviating less than expected permits ay- (orx-) value that deviates more than expected.

Figure 2. Histograms of Monte Carlo simulations for two synthetic analyses (Table 1) of a 330 ka sample. The lower precision analysis (A) has a distinctly asymmetric, non-Gaussian distribution of age errors and a misleading first-order error calculation. The higher precision analysis (B) yields a nearly symmetric, Gaussian age distribution with confidence limits almost identical those of the first-order error expansion.

As mentioned above, for the simulation in dimethylformamide (DMF) of the same reaction [53], the parameters for the substrate were not changed from the parametrization in water. For DMF the parameters were adopted from the OPLS parametrization of the pure liquid. The transferability was tested in part by performing a Monte Carlo simulation for CT plus 128 DMF molecules and evaluating the heat of solution for the chloride ion. The obtained value compares favorably with the experimental estimate. It is important to remark here that when potentials are used to simulate different solutions to the ones used in the parametrization process, they no longer are "effective" potentials. This fact becomes more evident in the simulation of solutions of small ions with localized charge that polarizes the neighboring solvent molecules. In this case it is convenient to consider the n-body corrections. 

In chapter 3, Profs. A. Gonzalez-Lafont, Lluch and Bertran present an overview of Monte Carlo simulations for chemical reactions in solution. First of all, the authors briefly review the main aspects of the Monte Carlo methodology when it is applied to the treatment of liquid state and solution. Special attention is paid to the calculations of the free energy differences and potential energy through pair potentials and many-body corrections. The applications of this methodology to different chemical reactions in solution are... 

The most valuable of all the models of water, by far, is the computer simulated liquid with well defined water-water interaction. To date, molecular dynamics simulations for two pair potentials 3>, and Monte Carlo simulations for three pair potentials 7i>72>, have been published. The details of the methods of simulation can be found in the literature, to which the reader is referred.

If the original data contain Information on the uncertainties associated with each measurement the sensitivity of the variance of the results to these errors can be studied. Approaches Include uncertainty weighting during the autoscaling procedure which Is provided for In ARTHUR, uncertainty scaling (the data standard deviation used for autoscaling Is replaced by the measurement absolute error such as presented In Table VII), and Monte Carlo simulation for estimating the variance of the statistics based on the error perturbed data ( ).

These observations would give important constraints on the distribution of the heavy elements and 56Co in the ejecta. We adopted the hydrodynamical model 11E1Y6 (Nomoto et al. 1988) and carried out Monte Carlo simulation for photon transfer. A step-like distribution of 56Co was assumed where the mass fraction of 56Co in the layers at Mr < 4.6 Mq, 4.6 - 6 M , 6-8 Mq, and 8-10 Mq are Xq0 = 0.0128, 0.0035, 0.0021, and 0.0011, respectively. Other heavy elements were distributed with mass fractions in proportion to 56Co.
