The velocity Verlet algorithm may be derived by considering a standard approximate decomposition of the Liouville operator which preserves reversibility and is symplectic (which implies that volume in phase space is conserved). This approach [47] has had several beneficial consequences. 

We consider a finite space, which contains the NA sample and is in contact with a bath of water or water vapor. That allows one to maintain the r.h. in the experimental space at a constant level and change it when necessary. Such a scheme corresponds to the real experiments with wet NA samples. A NA molecule is simulated by a sequence of units of the same type. Thus, in the present study, we consider the case of a homogeneous NA or the case where averaging over the unit type is possible. Every unit can be found in the one of three conformational states unordered. A- or B- conformations. The units can reversibly change their conformational state. A unit corresponds to a nucleotide of a real NA. We assume that the NA strands do not diverge during conformational transitions in the wet NA samples [18]. The conformational transitions are considered as cooperative processes that are caused by the unfavorable appearance of an interface between the distinct conformations. 

When the integrator used is reversible and symplectic (preserves the phase space volume) the acceptance probability will exactly satisfy detailed balance and the walk will sample the equilibrium distribution... 

The symmetry T p) = T[—p) implies that reversing the order of these three steps and changing the sign of r and p results in exactly the same method. In other words, Verlet is time-reversible. (In practice, the equations are usually reduced to equations for the positions at time-steps and the momenta at halfsteps, only, but for consideration of time-reversibility or symplecticness, the method should be formulated as a mapping of phase space.)... 

High temperature searches of conformational space (see Quenched Dynamics" on page 78), can produce unwanted conformational changes, such as cis-tmnx peptide flips, ring inversions, and other changes that you cannot reverse easily by geometry optimization. You can use restraints to prevent these changes. 

Heat Pumps. Heat pumps involve the appHcation of external power to pump heat from a lower temperature to a higher temperature. Heat pumps are frequently used for space heating and are simply refrigeration cycles operated in reverse. The heat rejected in the condenser becomes the primary objective of operation. Consequently, refrigerants used for mechanical compression refrigeration have similar appHcation in heat pumps. 

A most important element in computer technology is data storage. Progress in microelectronics, therefore, is directly linked to progress in data storage, that is the abihty to store large amounts of information in the smallest possible space, irreversibly or preferably reversibly. 

Reverse Osmosis. Membranes are used for the separation of smaller components (<500 daltons). They have smaller pore space and are tighter than those used for ultrafiltration. High pressure pumps, usually of the positive piston or multistage centrifugal type, provide pressures up to 4.14 MPa (600 psi). 

Once a direction is estabflshed for the next poiat ia the space of the variables of optimization (whether by random search, by systematic evaluation of gradients, or by any other methods of making perturbations), it is possible to take a jump ia the directioa of the improvement much greater than the size of the perturbations. This could speed up the process of finding the optimum and reduce computer time. If such a leap is successful, the next iteration may take a bigger leap and so on, until the improvement stops. Then one could reverse the direction and decrease the size of the step until the optimum is found. 

The second unusual feature is that it has frequently been observed that the rubbers soften or reverse when subjected to high temperatures in a confined space. This is believed to be due to the presence of trapped moisture which, when not able to escape, causes hydrolysis of the polymer.
