Weizmann-7? methods

This is similar to the simple atom-atom truncation except that dipolar groups will never be split by the cutoff distance. There is still the problem of discontinuities, but these are less extreme than in the case of atom-atom truncations. In cases where water is explicitly included, this approach exhibits the curious phenomena of hot water and cold protein if the entire system is coupled to a heatbath. This is because the more mobile atoms (the water) are subjected to more discontinuities which makes them hotter than the less mobile atoms (the protein) (Levitt, M., Weizmann Institute, personal communication, 1986.). It should be noted that this is one of the most commonly used methods of truncation for simulations where CHARMM is not used. For the group-group truncation, these calculations are in progress and will be reported elsewhere. For this type of truncation, both methods where the list is updated on... 

There are many methods for the prepn of acet of which the dry distn of Ca acetate was the most common until, a few years after WWI, the carbohydrate fermentation method of C.Weizmann was introduced (Refs 31 48). 

We will concentrate on Gaussian-type and CBS methods, because these have been the most widely-used and have thus accumulated an archive of results, are the most accessible, and because several versions of them are available. However, there are other high-accuracy multistep methods, such as the Weizmann procedures of Martin and de Oliveira, W1 and W2 [188], and of Boese et al., W3 and W4 [189], which like the CBS methods are based on basis set extrapolation. W1 and W2 have a mean absolute deviation of about 1 kJ mol 1 (not 1 kcal mol-1), and incorporate relativistic effects, and W2 has no empirical parameters, unlike the Gaussian and CBS methods. W3 and W4 methods have similar errors to W1 and W2, and the authors speculate on the reasons for the obstinate 0.1 kcal/mol barrier . These very accurate methods are still limited molecules of about or less than the reach of CBS-APNO. 

A pilot plant jointly funded by the EU, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich (ETHZ) has successfully demonstrated this process in a 300 kW pilot plant at the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) in Rehovot, near Tel Aviv, Israel. The plant has produced 45 kg of zinc per hour. This method of solar energy storage is not yet commercially available. 

Another series of composite computational methods, Weizmann-n (Wn), with n = 1-4, have been recently proposed by Martin and co-workers W1 and W2 in 1999 and W3 and W4 in 2004. These models are particularly accurate for thermochemical calculations and they aim at approximating the CBS limit at the CCSD(T) level of theory. In all Wn methods, the core-valence correlations, spin-orbit couplings, and relativistic effects are explicitly included. Note that in G2, for instance, the single-points are performed with the frozen core (FC) approximation, which was discussed in the previous section. In other words, there is no core-valence effect in the G2 theory. Meanwhile, in G3, the corevalence correlation is calculated at the MP2 level with a valence basis set. In the Wn methods, the core-valence correlation is done at the more advanced CCSD(T) level with a specially designed core-valence basis set. 

Steve Scheiner received his Ph.D. in 1976, using theoretical methods to dissect the factors that influence enzyme activity, under the direction of William Lipscomb at Harvard University. He then spent 2 years at Ohio State University as a Weizmann Fellow with William Kern, considering ways in which hydrogen bonds influence biomolecular structure and function. He joined the faculty of Southern Illinois University, Carbondale in 1978, where his research focused on H-bonds and proton transfers. He moved to Utah State University in 2000. He reluctantly admits that he recalls all too vividly punching what seemed like thousands of computer cards for his early calculations. 

An illustration of the use of the direct fermentation method is described in British Patent 4845 (1915) by C. Weizmann. In this process acetone and butyl alcohol was produced from carbohydrate material as maize, rice, wheat, oats, rye, dari, and potatoes. A culture of bacteria obtained from soil, cereals as maize, rice, flax, was used. This organism is resistant to 90-100 degrees C. for 1-2 minutes, and liquefies gelatin. It is supposed to be B. granulobaoter pectinovorium. The method used in preparing the culture was the inoculation of sterile maize mash with maize meal heated to 90-100° C. for 1-2 minutes. The mixture was allowed to ferment at about 37° C. A pronounced odor of butyl alcohol was considered the indication of the active existence of the organism desired.

On the other hand, computational thermochemistry values in the sub-kUojoule per mole accuracy range are now possible only for small molecules. They can be calculated through the highly accurate extrapolated ab initio thermochemistry (HEAT) [53] approach developed by an international group of researchers and by the Weizmann-4 (W4) method [54] from Martin s group, which was benchmarked on atomization energies of 99 small molecules [55]. They further developed an... 

There are several other composite approaches, for example, complete basis set (CBS) models [56], focal-point analysis [57], multi-coefficient correlation methods [58], high-accuracy extrapolated ab initio thermo-chemistry (HEAT) [59] and the Weizmann-4 theory [60]. Hansen et al. [61] have employed the so-caUed MP2 DFT [193] scheme for analysing benzene ethylation over H-ZSM-5. Density functional calculations applying periodic boundary conditions [Perdew-Burke-Emzerhof (PBE) functional] were combined with MP2 energy calculations on a series of...

There are methods that automate some of these steps. They are called composite methods because they combine results from several calculations to estimate the result that would be obtained from a more expensive calculation. The most popular families of composite methods are represented by Gaussian-3 (G3) theory [68,109] and CBS-APNO theory [110,111], where CBS stands for complete basis set. Both families of methods, which are considered reliable, include empirical parameters. The CBS theories incorporate an analytical basis set extrapolation based on perturbation theory, which is in contrast to the phenomenological extrapolation mentioned above. When the Gaussian software is used to perform these calculations, steps 2-, above, are performed automatically, with the result labeled G3 enthalpy (or the Hke) in the output file [20,99]. The user must still choose a reaction (step 1) and manipulate the molecular enthalpies (steps 5 and 6). The most precise composite methods are the Weizmann-n methods, which however are very intensive computationally [112].
