For simplicity intersections between pairs of lines ij and jk can be taken in numerical order, evaluating x(ijk) and Y(ijk) with i < j < k and k n, where n is the number of compounds. The maximum number of intersection points that need to be examined is 3), i.e. n(n-1)(n-2)/6. For Uo compounds it is 9880. This is not a very large number for a computer to handle because the actual calculations are very trivial. Nevertheless, methods are available for improving the programme efficiency as briefly described under program comparisons. 

Computational chemistry, which can predict the spectra of a variety of compounds that cannot be obtained in their pure form, was used to study the highly sensitive detection of bromate in ion chromatography. Several possible ions, molecules and their complexes were constructed by a molecular editor, and optimized by MM2 and MOPAC (PM3) calculations. Their possible electronic spectra were then obtained by the Zerner s Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap (ZINDO) (INDO)-Visualyzer in the CAChe program. The Amax of the spectra and the transition dipoles were calculated using the ProjectLeader program. Comparison of the experimental and predicted results indicated that Brs" was the probable reaction product, and that N02 and ClO accelerated the reaction. ...

In addition, the mirrors are adjustable, so that unimportant areas can be ignored. Light re-emmited from the surfaee is detected, and the detector signal is transmitted to a computer programmed with acceptable deviation levels for comparison with a reference component. Tolerance levels can vary for different areas of the same test piece they may, for example, be higher on a ground section than on adjacent unmachined areas. 

The fifth and final chapter, on Parallel Force Field Evaluation, takes account of the fact that the bulk of CPU time spent in MD simulations is required for evaluation of the force field. In the first paper, BOARD and his coworkers present a comparison of the performance of various parallel implementations of Ewald and multipole summations together with recommendations for their application. The second paper, by Phillips et AL., addresses the special problems associated with the design of parallel MD programs. Conflicting issues that shape the design of such codes are identified and the use of features such as multiple threads and message-driven execution is described. The final paper, by Okunbor Murty, compares three force decomposition techniques (the checkerboard partitioning method. 

Assuming that the mass spectrometer has sufficient mass resolution, the computer can prepare accurate ma.ss data on the m/z values from an unknown substance. To prepare that data, the system must acquire the mass spectrum of a known reference substance for which accurate masses for its ions are already known, and the computer must have a stored table of these reference masses. The computer is programmed first to inspect the newly acquired data from the reference compound in comparison with its stored reference spectrum if all is well, the system then acquires data from the unknown substance. By comparison and interpolation techniques using the known reference... 

Many one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems have been developed over the years to order colors ia a systematic way and provide specimen colors for visual comparison. Coordination has now been achieved with computet programs between essentially all of these systems and the CIE systems described below and conversions can easily be made between them. 

Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the compiler is that it would make compile time decisions about the most likely outcome of a comparison operation and generate code to foUow that most likely path. The compiler would insert compensation code to undo calculations already done if the branch were other than predicted. In addition, it was possible to execute a program and monitor the results of branch decisions. Armed with more accurate information about the likely outcome of conditional branches, the compiler could then generate better code, because its "guesses" would be correct more often. 

The calculations were made with the RATEFRAC program and comparisons were made with the compamon RADFRAC program, which utilizes the inside-out method for an eqiiilibniim-based model.
