Development program

In principle, all four-component molecular electronic structure codes work like their nonrelativistic relatives. This is, of course, due to the formal similarity of the theories where one-electron Schrbdinger operators are replaced by four-component Dirac operators enforcing a four-component spinor basis. Obviously, the spin symmetry must be treated in a different way, i.e. it is replaced by the time-reversal symmetry being the basis of Kramers theorem. Point group symmetry is replaced by the theory of double groups, since spatial and spin coordinates cannot be treated separately. 

Until now several program packages for ab initio four-component molecular electronic structure calculations have been developed. Because their number is comparatively small and the algorithmic development of these programs is still ongoing, it is worthwhile to describe briefly their particular features. 

The coupled-cluster and Cl modules from the Molfdir program suite have been included in the Dirac program. The Breit interaction has not yet been implemented in the Dirac package. Dirac supports point group symmetries up to 2h symmetry. 

Apart from these programs, the following computer codes with less general functionality but particular individual features have been developed. 

Dreams is a program that has evolved as a Dirac-Fock code (Dyall 1994c Dyall et al. 1991a) and has been extended to the RMP2 approach for the estimation of correlation energies for closed and open-shell systems (Dyall 1994a).

Because of the complexity of the problem and the large amount of program development work that has to go into a synthesis design system, only a few groups worldwide have been active in this area. Here, we mention only a selection of the major ideas and achievements in this area. It is not the intention to give a comprehensive overview. For this, interested readers can consult Chapter X, Section 3.2 in the Handbook. This chapter presents one such system, the WODCA program, in greater detail. 

Risk-Based Inspection. Inspection programs developed using risk analysis methods are becoming increasingly popular (15,16) (see Hazard ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT). In this approach, the frequency and type of in-service inspection (IS I) is determined by the probabiUstic risk assessment (PRA) of the inspection results. Here, the results might be a false acceptance of a part that will fail as well as the false rejection of a part that will not fail. Whether a plant or a consumer product, false acceptance of a defective part could lead to catastrophic failure and considerable cost. Also, the false rejection of parts may lead to unjustified, and sometimes exorbitant, costs of operation (2). Risk is defined as follows ... 

Any program developed in-house must be easy to use, or user-friendly. If the program has various options for input, analysis, computation, and output, then it must provide the user with a fast way to select them. To meet this need, the system is likely to be menu-driven. The peripheral interactive devices such as mice, joysticks, light pens, graphic tablets, and templates are helpful and often used to expedite the selection process.

The reaction flow-charts of Part Two, and indeed all chemical formulae which appear in this book, were generated by computer. The program used for these drawings was ChemDraw adapted for the Macintosh personal computer by Mr. Stewart Rubenstein of these Laboratories from the molecular graphics computer program developed by our group at Harvard in the 1960 s (E. J. Corey and W. T. Wipke, Science, 1969,166, 178-192) and subsequently refined.

The Seismic Safety Margins Research Program developed a computer code called SMACS (Seismic Methodology Analysis Chain with Statistics) for calculating the seismic responses of structures, systems, and components. This code links the seismic input as ensembles of acceleration time histories with the calculations of the soil-structure interactions, the responses of major structures, and the responses of subsystems. Since uses a multi-support approach to perform the time-history response calculations for piping subsystems, the correlations between component responses can be handled explicitly. SMACS is an example of the codes that are available for calculating seismic response for PSA purposes. 

Assessment results reflect the method selected. Any assessment you conduct will involve sampling of documentation and interviews with the people involved in program development and implementation. The scope and depth of your fact-finding and verification efforts will determine how detailed an Implementation plan can be developed.

The similarity matrices are constructed by one in-house program developed inside CHIRBASE using the application development kit of ISIS. They contain the similarity coefficients as expressed by the Tanimoto method. In ISIS, the Tanimoto coefficients are calculated from a set of binary descriptors or molecular keys coding the structural fragments of the molecules. 

A computer program developed hy Volta handles the problem of condensing in the presence of a noncondensable gas for down-flow of either a saturated or superheated gas-vapor mixture vertical tubes. The program is based on a modification of Colburn-Hougen and Bras and is certainly more accurate and easier to use than the lengthy manual calculations. Although the program was written for vertical tubes, it can be used to approximate the results in a horizontal unit, and if the correction factor between vertical and horizontal tube condensation is applied, the compari-...

The methods and systems that you choose for your program and the initial program development will largely determine the success or failure of predictive maintenance in your plant. 

The first step is to determine the types of plant equipment and systems that are to be included in your program. A plant survey of your process equipment should be developed that lists every critical component within the plant and its impact on both production capacity and maintenance costs. A plant process layout is invaluable during this phase of program development. It is very easy to omit critical machines or components during the audit. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that all components that can limit production capacity are included in your list. 

The optimum predictive maintenance program developed in earlier chapters is predicated on vibration analysis as the principle technique for the program. It is also the most sensitive to problems created by the use of the wrong transducer or mounting technique. 

Gel Permeation Chromatography. The instrument used for GPC analysis was a Waters Associates Model ALC - 201 gel permeation chromatograph equipped with a R401 differential refractometer. For population density determination, polystyrene powder was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF), 75 mg of polystyrene to SO ml THF. Three y -styragel columns of 10, 10, 10 A were used. Effluent flow rate was set at 2.2 ml/min. Total cumulative molar concentration and population density distribution of polymeric species were obtained from the observed chromatogram using the computer program developed by Timm and Rachow (16). 

The computer has become an accepted part of our daily lives. Computer applications in applied polymer science now are focussing on modelling, simulation, robotics, and expert systems rather than on the traditional subject of laboratory instrument automation and data reduction. The availability of inexpensive computing power and of package software for many applications has allowed the scientist to develop sophisticated applications in many areas without the need for extensive program development.
