Can anyone recommend a good review article on the different techniques
for evaluating molecular integrals using Gaussian basis functions? I
have many different papers on the topic. However, I'm sure that someone
has written a scholarly review of the literature that might point me to
techniques I've missed.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

The algorithm described will catch transposition errors, since in xxabx-xx-x
the "ab" will contribute (k)b + (k+1)a and in xxbax-xx-x the "ba" will
contribute (k)a + (k+1)b.  ("k" here representing the position of the 2nd of
the transposed digits).  For these to make equal contributions to the
checksum, (k)b + (k+1)a = (k)a + (k+1)b implies a = b.  

The ISBN code uses a similar error-detection scheme (see section 4.4 of
http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/isbn/international/html/usm4.htm), but
the result is modulo 11 rather than modulo 10.*  As a result some of the
ISBN "numbers" end in "X" instead of a digit.

*The term "modulo" refers to classifying numbers by their remainders when
dividing by a fixed  number.  The CAS RN algorithm described below is
"modulo 10" since it uses only the last digit of the number, i.e. the
remainder one would get if dividing by 10.

Dear all:

Searching the archives of CHMINF-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU (URL is 
http://listserv.indiana.edu/archives/chminf-l.html), I found out the 
algorithm used to generate the checksum number of every CAS RN. Since it 
could be of interest for some people in the list, I will reproduce the text 
here (thanks to the original sender, Gary Wiggins; I hope not to break any 
rule by reproducing this and giving the source):

         ALGORITHM: The last digit is a checksum digit of the unit integer
of
the summed products of multiplying the left-next-most integer by 1, followed
by
multiplying the left-next-most integer by 2, etc.

         e.g.'s:

                 Acetone: RN= 67-64-1

         1X4 + 2X6 + 3X7 + 4X6 = 61, and 1 is the checksum digit of
RN=67-64-1.

                 Butane: RN= 106-97-8
         1X7 + 2X9 + 3X6 + 4X0 + 5X1 = 48, and 8 is the checksum digit of 
RN=106-97-8

However, other people has pointed out this algorithm to be defective: due 
to our decimal notation system, the same checksum number can be obtained 
for a transposed number.

Comments??

Hi Colleques and friends,

I am looking for references both latest and past on the experimental and 
theoretical studies on hydration patterns of ethylene and propylene glycols. 
I request all those netters who are working in these particular systems or 
alcohol - water systems in general to respond with the literature references 
they may have in their files as well as with the addresses of research 
groups they know. We have started some  work on these sytems in bulk 
solution as well as in gas phase using ab initio MESP calculations. The past 
and contemporary references on such work are highly useful in planning my 
work properly.

Thanking in advance.

With best regards

yours sincerely

Here are two very good ones.  I hope they're as up-to-date as you need.

Dear CCL users

I'm looking for parameters for non standard aminoacids to be used in molecular dynamic study.
Does anybody know if there parameters are available
P.S. I can use charmm amber or oplsaa force fields

Please forward all inquiries to me, as I can help refer them to an AMD field
sales rep in their respective area.

Someone posted a link to this onto beowulf@beowulf.org, and I made some
mention about how AMD even got involved in our small cluster.  I
imediately have received a number of emails asking questions.

It might be nice for you or someone at AMD to post a message to
beowulf@beowulf.org
telling people who to contact at your company about building Athlon
clusters.  One person who emailed me said something about 120+ node
installations, so I think this might be worth your time.

Subject: g98R7 Slow running on kernel 2.4
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi dear CCL`rs

I found myself having an ratter strange problem with g98 rev 7 in RedHat
7.1 (Kernel 2.4). I ran a couple of jobs that were supposed to finish in
90 minutes, and none of them was finished by monday. I think it's a
problem with my new kernel, I didn't recompile ( we don't have a PGI
license), just upgraded the kernel. Something strange is that I recall a
message  claiming a 20% of upspeeding just due to 2.4 kernel.

Would it be a problem with the kernel, or any other idea??

Anyone else with that problem?

I will thank any comments

Best wishes
Max
