JChemPaint is a chemical structure drawing applet. The noteworthy characteristic of this 2D molecule editor is that it is an open source program [208]. This means that the software and the source code of the program are freely available. Every programmer or interested person can participate and enter individual special requests for further development of the application. 

This book is an introduction to computational chemistr y, molecular mechanics, and molecular orbital calculations, using a personal mieroeomputer. No speeial eom-putational skills are assumed of the reader aside from the ability to read and write a simple program in BASIC. No mathematieal training beyond ealeulus is assumed. A few elements of matrix algebra are introdueed in Chapter 3 and used throughout. 

Once requiring minicomputers and worksta tions many molecular mechanics programs are avail able for personal computers The information that strain energy calculations can provide is so helpful...

The ubiquitousness of the personal computer and the increasing power of the program packages available for it have shifted the emphasis away from large, mainframe-based systems like PLATO. Instead, graphics are included in utihty programs such as equation solvers, spreadsheet processors, and word processors. 

Loops that could not be vectorized on conventional vector computers often performed very well under the Multiflow architecture and, unlike vector machines, for which a person could spend a great deal of time optimizing programs, substantially less could be done on the Multiflow, as most of the work fell to the compiler anyway. All the usual optimizations for memory utilization and cache usage also appHed to the Microflow. There were, of course, programs for which the compiler could not make good use of the multiple functional units, and the computer would mn at the speed of just one or two iadividually quite slow functional units. 

Assistance in problem definition and in developing a test program should be sought from persons experienced in the field. If your organization has a consultant in separations of this land, by all means m e use of the expertise available. If not, it may be wise to employ an outside consultant, whose special knowledge and guidance can save time, money, and headaches. It is important to do this early after the separation equipment has been installed, there is httle a consultant can do to remedy the sometimes disastrous effects of a poor selection. Often it is best to work with established equipment manufacturers throughout the selection process, unless the problem is unusually sensitive or confidential. Their experience with problems similar to yours may be most helpful and avoid many false starts.

In 1927, Jack Johnson became assistant professor at Cornell University thus starting a career which extended almost 40 years at that school He restructured the courses in organic chemistry and developed a broad program of research His enthusiasm and personal contributions led to his promotion to full professor in 1930 when he was barely 30 years old... 

Unless established monitoring practices are conducted by plant personnel or the OSHA compliance officer, the results are of limited value in determining compliance with a standard, and what is more important, protecting the worker s health. The conduct of air monitoring by untrained, or poorly trained, persons relegates the program to a "numbers game" which serves no useful purpose. 

SCREEN will run on an IBM-PC compatible personal computer with at least 2S6K of RAM. The program will run with or without a math coprocessor chip. Execution time will be greatly enhanced with a math coprocessor chip present (about a factor of S in computer time) and will also benefit from the use of a hard disk drive.
