The Boltzmaim weight appears implicitly in the way the states are chosen. The fomi of the above equation is like a time average as calculated in MD. The MC method involves designing a stochastic algorithm for stepping from one state of the system to the next, generating a trajectory. This will take the fomi of a Markov chain, specified by transition probabilities which are independent of the prior history of the system. 

NAMD [7] was born of frustration with the maintainability of previous locally developed parallel molecular dynamics codes. The primary goal of being able to hand the program down to the next generation of developers is reflected in the acronym NAMD Not (just) Another Molecular Dynamics code. Specific design requirements for NAMD were to run in parallel on the group s then recently purchased workstation cluster [8] and to use the fast multipole algorithm [9] for efficient full electrostatics evaluation as implemented in DPMTA [10]. 

A key feature ofa genetic algorithm is that only the best chromosomes are to pass their features to the next generation during evolution. 

The selection function is used to choo.se chromosomes which can then mate and thus give their coded information to the next generation. The idea behind the selection mechanism is to obtain more copies of better chromosomes in the next generation. 

Thus, computers will continue to penetrate every aspect of chemistry and we have to prepare the next generation of chemists for this process. In fact, we will see that the various types of computer applications in chemistry will increasingly be used in concert to solve chemical problems. Therefore, a unified view of the entire field is needed the various approaches to using computers in chemistry have to be ordered into a common framework, into a disdpline of its own Chemoinfor-matics. 

Improvements ia membrane technology, vahdation of membrane iategrity, and methods to extend filter usage should further improve the performance of membrane filters ia removal of viral particles. Methods to improve or extead filter life and iacrease flow rates by creating more complex flow patterns could possibly be the focus of the next generation of membrane filters designed to remove viral particles. 

The next generation of amperomethc enzyme electrodes may weU be based on immobilization techniques that are compatible with microelectronic mass-production processes and are easy to miniaturize (42). Integration of enzymes and mediators simultaneously should improve the electron-transfer pathway from the active site of the enzyme to the electrode.

The next generation of gas turbine-based, combined-cycle power plants, under constmction in many parts of the world, is to feature net plant efficiencies in the 60% range based on LHV of fuel input. These faciUties, scheduled for start-up in the latter 1990s, are anchored by large gas turbines capable of simple-cycle efficiencies >40% LHV in some cases. To develop these machines, manufacturers have scaled up and improved upon designs that have already proved to be highly rehable.

Ellipsometry in the vacuum UV (< 190 nm) enables the analysis of materials for the next generation lithography (photoresist, AR coatings) at the latest exposure wavelengths (157 nm and 193 nm). The short wavelengths increase the sensitivity of ellipsometric measurements of ultra thin films (<10 nm). New prospects are expected for the analysis of thin metallic and dielectric layers. 

As discussed earlier, the first wall materials in next generation machines will receive from 0.005 to 30 displacements per atom. At the lower end of this range (<0.01 dpa) there are essentially no mechanical property changes expected in graphite materials. However, even at these low doses thermal conductivity and stored energy are of concern. For displacement levels >0.01 dpa other property... 

Next generation machines will impose inereasingly greater thermal loads on their PFCs. High thermal conductivity CFC materials may offer a solution to the high-heat loads, but further research is needed to overeome the problems noted above and to assure the place of earbon materials in future fusion power reaetors.

ISC-PRIME - Industrial Source Complex - Plume Rise Model Enhancements-. ISC-PRIME dispersion model is being evaluated as the next generation building downwash model. This version of the ISC model has a new set of algorithms and has been named ISC-PRIME. The files below are made available for review and evaluation only, but you can get some insight into how they work and the types of applications ... 

AERMOD AERMOD is the next generation air dispersion modeling system and consists of 3 components - AERMOD (air dispersion model), AERMET (meteorological data preprocessor) and AERMAP (terrain preprocessor). A brief overview of the model can be found in the mod-desc.txt file which can be downloaded from the site.
