A typical molecular dynamics simulation comprises an equflibration and a production phase. The former is necessary, as the name imphes, to ensure that the system is in equilibrium before data acquisition starts. It is useful to check the time evolution of several simulation parameters such as temperature (which is directly connected to the kinetic energy), potential energy, total energy, density (when periodic boundary conditions with constant pressure are apphed), and their root-mean-square deviations. Having these and other variables constant at the end of the equilibration phase is the prerequisite for the statistically meaningful sampling of data in the following production phase. 

Assuming that an equilibrium is now well established, the simulation may be restarted (not newly started) to begin with the sampling of structural and thermodynamic data. In our model case, data acquisition was performed for 3 ns (trajectory data plot not shown). For the production phase, also, the time evolution of the variables mentioned above should be monitored to detect stability problems or con-... 

Like XPS, the application of AES has been very widespread, particularly in the earlier years of its existence more recently, the technique has been applied increasingly to those problem areas that need the high spatial resolution that AES can provide and XPS, currently, cannot. Because data acquisition in AES is faster than in XPS, it is also employed widely in routine quality control by surface analysis of random samples from production lines of for example, integrated circuits. In the semiconductor industry, in particular, SIMS is a competing method. Note that AES and XPS on the one hand and SIMS/SNMS on the other, both in depth-profiling mode, are complementary, the former gaining signal from the sputter-modified surface and the latter from the flux of sputtered particles. 

Data transfer The data acquisition unit will not be used for long-term data storage. Therefore, it must be able to reliability transfer data into the host computer. The actual time required to transfer the microprocessor s data into the host computer is the only non-productive time of the data acquisition unit. It cannot be used for acquiring additional data during the data transfer operation. Therefore, the transfer time should be kept to a minimum. Most of the available systems use an RS 232 communications protocol that will allow data transfer at rates of up to 19,200 baud. The time required to dump the full memory of a typical microprocessor can be 30 minutes or more. 

Data System development is an area which has recently seen tremendous growth. Instrument vendors pay increasing attention to their software in recognition of its vital role in the commercial success of their product. Manufacturers of data acquisition hardware are likewise working to bundle their hardware with attractive software. Software houses are offering some ambitious packages for data analysis applications. 

Computer tools can contribute significantly to the optimization of processes. Computer data acquisition allows data to be more readily collected, and easy-to-implement control systems can also be achieved. Mathematical modeling can save personnel time, laboratory time and materials, and the tools for solving differential equations, parameter estimation, and optimization problems can be easy to use and result in great productivity gains. Optimizing the control system resulted in faster startup and consequent productivity gains in the extruder laboratory. 

The production of the agrochemical 6 (Scheme 5.7) is carried out batchwise via a three-step protocol. Mass balancing has been conducted for three stages of development Laboratory-, pilot- and operation scale. An LCA was available for the operation stage only. A description of this LCA including data sources and data acquisition methods was published by Geisler et al. (product A in reference [9] corresponds to product 6 here). Many parameters in the Life-Cycle Inventory (LCI) are estimated, especially utihty demands and yields of processes for the production of precursors. Uncertainty in these estimations was illustrated in a... 

Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. In the experiments, about 2 mg of sample was pyrolyzed at 900°C in flowing helium using a Chemical Data System (CDS) Platinum Coil Pyrolysis Probe controlled by a CDS Model 122 Pyroprobe in normal mode. Products were separated on a 12 meter fused capillary column with a cross-linked poly (dimethylsilicone) stationary phase. The GC column was temperature programmed from -50 to 300°C. Individual compounds were identified with a Hewlett Packard (HP) Model 5995C low resolution quadruple GC/MS System. Data acquisition and reduction were performed on the HP 100 E-series computer running revision E RTE-6/VM software. 

In a typical protocol, the sequence of experiments would be as follows (1) MRM for the parent compound (2) a search for hits using the MRMs included in the biotransformation table and (3) performance of EPI scans on the two most abundant ions found in the MRM scans from the biotransformation tables. An exclusion list is incorporated for those transitions that one wants to eliminate from enhanced product scan data acquisition.
