In order to test observational errors nsing a fnll sample of unblended spectral lines, the Monte-Carlo method with a generator of normally distributed numbers was used. For N = 2545 measurements of magnetic fields on four yellow supergiants Aqr, a Aqr, e Gem, e Peg), including weak unblended spectral lines, the relation between mean the Monte-Carlo simulated standard error and the mean experimental standard error was estimated as = 1.033<(t>. Further, weak spectral lines for which z ro - rj < 0.2 were eliminated to strengthen the data uniformity. For A= 1844 measurements = 0.968<(t>. The discrepancy is 3.3 % in the first case and 3.2 % in the second case both appear to be very small. 

Equation 4.31 is useful in simulations. Standard PVT data and the Tait equation can be used for calculation of at melt zone and at solid zone, while the specific volume at transition zone can be calculated using crystallization kinetics and a linear interpolation between 1/v and 1/v using Eq. 4.31. 

Preprosessing and grid generation was done with the commercial Fluent Gambit 1.3. The CFD code Fluent 5.5 was used in the simulation. Standard k-e turbulence model and standard wall functions were used. Multiple reference frame method was used in all simulations instead of the computationally slower sliding mesh method. Simulations were done in one phase (t). 

Simulated standard thermodynamic values and virial heat-capacity coefficients for solid oxides from the Y(0)-Ba(0)-Cu(0) system selected from Ilynych et al. (1995) for units see the Introduction... 

Particle size distributions obtained by the two-compartment model are depicted in Fig. 7.48, along with the same experimental results as in Fig. 7.46 (Tab. 7.7). The simulated standard deviation is also compared to the experimental standard deviation in this figure, and a good agreement between the results can be observed. 

Metadynamics was used to probe thermodynamics of hydrolysis by calculating the first acidity constant, pKa, for all three oxidation states of aqueous uranium (U (aq), UO faq), and U02 (aq)). The collective variable employed to describe the deprotonation reactions is the coordination number of an arbitrary first-shell water oxygen atom with respect to all protons, no-H- The coordination number parameters were chosen to be k =10A and rau = 1.38A. Starting with well-equilibrated NVT AIMD simulations, standard metadynamics simulations were carried out at 300 K with H = 0.063 kcal/mol and The time between the addition of Gaussians was r = 100(it for U (aq) and t = 20dt for U02(aq) and U02 (aq), where 6t is the simulation time step. Once the free energy difference, AF, for the reaction was known, the first acid dissociation constant, pKa, was computed as... 

Finally, other methods are used to obtain simulated distillation by gas phase chromatography for atmospheric or vacuum residues. For these cases, some of the sample components can not elute and an internal standard is added to the sample in order to obtain this quantity with precision. 

The Reid vapor pressure characterizes the light petroleum products it is measured by a standard test (refer to Chapter 7) which can be easily simulated. 

Table 2 compares between the VIGRAL results and mechanical measurements of the simulated FBH defects. The table lists the size of the reflecting surface,, its depth location, the Yd, and the standard deviation of the depth information, o>i( y ). We note an excellent agreement between the VIGRAL and the mechanical measurements both in size and depth of the defects. 

The model is meant to be relatively open to the evolution of NDT techniques. Thus, a normal evolution of the standard is to include, in future revisions, as "standard devices" some devices which have proved to be of current use. Two other axes of evolution are the handling of processed data and of simulated data. 

An interesting approach has recently been chosen in the MBO(N)D program ([Moldyn 1997]). Structural elements of different size varying from individual peptide planes up to protein domains can be defined to be rigid. During an atomistic molecular dynamics simulation, all fast motion orthogonal to the lowest normal modes is removed. This allows use of ca. 20 times longer time steps than in standard simulations. 

Related to the previous method, a simulation scheme was recently derived from the Onsager-Machlup action that combines atomistic simulations with a reaction path approach ([Oleander and Elber 1996]). Here, time steps up to 100 times larger than in standard molecular dynamics simulations were used to produce approximate trajectories by the following equations of motion ... 

The problems that occur when one tries to estimate affinity in terms of component terms do not arise when perturbation methods are used with simulations in order to compute potentials of mean force or free energies for molecular transformations simulations use a simple physical force field and thereby implicitly include all component terms discussed earlier. We have used the molecular transformation approach to compute binding affinities from these first principles [14]. The basic approach had been introduced in early work, in which we studied the affinity of xenon for myoglobin [11]. The procedure was to gradually decrease the interactions between xenon atom and protein, and compute the free energy change by standard perturbation methods, cf. (10). An (issential component is to impose a restraint on the... 

The free energy differences obtained from our constrained simulations refer to strictly specified states, defined by single points in the 14-dimensional dihedral space. Standard concepts of a molecular conformation include some region, or volume in that space, explored by thermal fluctuations around a transient equilibrium structure. To obtain the free energy differences between conformers of the unconstrained peptide, a correction for the thermodynamic state is needed. The volume of explored conformational space may be estimated from the covariance matrix of the coordinates of interest, = ((Ci [13, lOj. For each of the four selected conform-... 

In molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics studies of proteins, assig-ment of standard, non-dynamical ionization states of protein titratable groups is a common practice. This assumption seems to be well justified because proton exchange times between protein and solution usually far exceed the time range of the MD simulations. We investigated to what extent the assumed protonation state of a protein influences its molecular dynamics trajectory, and how often our titration algorithm predicted ionization states identical to those imposed on the groups, when applied to a set of structures derived from a molecular dynamics trajectory [34]. As a model we took the bovine...
