Dear Lief,

Accelrys offers the program NMR CASTEP  for computing NMR chemical shifts 
and electric field gradient tensors for solid-state systems. You can find 
more information on our web site at 
http://www.accelrys.com/mstudio/ms_modeling/nmrcastep.html. The underlying 
method is similar to that implemented in PARATEC. The CASTEP interface, 
however, makes the implementation very easy to use.

I will contact you privately with additional information.

Sincerley,
George Fitzgerald

CCL:Silver NMR shifts using PBC







Hello CCL, 

I want to compute the Ag-109 chemical shifts in a crystal structure, using 
periodic boundary conditions if possible.  The idea is to determine how an 
X-ray structure and a CP-MAS Ag-109 spectrum compare to each other. 

I've done NMR computations before (and a few PBC calculations using 
Gaussian 03) but only a few PBC calculations using software that was 
actually designed primarily for the solid state.  Attempted NMR 
calculations using Gaussian 03 with PBC did not work. 

After poking around the Internet and the literature a bit, it seems that a 
couple of programs that might do what I want are PARATEC and CPMD.  But 
the PARATEC website states "This code is primarily intended for users who 
are familiar with the plane-wave pseudopotential method used in PARATEC". 
Hmmm.  The CPMD site doesn't say anything like that, but it does seem to 
be designed primarily for molecular dynamics simulations. 

Advice on these or other programs that might be appropriate would be 
appreciated.   

Thanks,

Among numerous other capabilities, QuacPac reliably enumerates pKa 
states for pH 2-14 (and outputs a variety of file formats).  Check out

Dear all,

I am compiling some software with MPI, and the command is:

$(MAKE) LD="ifort -o" \
 LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/encap/mpich-125-2-intel/lib -lmpich -lpmpich" \
 FC=ifort FFLAGS="-c -O -B100" TIMER="" \
 CPFLAGS="-D$(STRESS) -DMPI -P -D'POINTER=integer' \
 -I/usr/local/encap/mpich-125-2-intel/include/" \
 EX=$(EX) BINROOT=$(BINROOT) $(TYPE)

during the compilation, the source file .f  are transferred to .i

as it showed:
/lib/cpp -DSTRESS -DMPI -P -D'POINTER=integer' -I/usr/local/encap/mpich-125-2-intel/include/filename.f
 > filename.i
cp filename.i filename.tmp.f
mv filename.tmp.o filename.o
rm filename.i

for some of the file, after the .f changed to tmp.f, some of the statements
are moved to the left, so the format of the file is messed up, for eg.

100    close     changed to
100   close

does any one have similiar experience? anyone have any suggestions?

thank you!

best wishes,

R.Z

Fellow Visualization Software Users:

My #1 gripe with MacOS X Panther has been the lack of support for
industry-standard stereo-3D graphics (in a window).  So far, I and others
have been unable to convince Apple that this feature matters enough to their
bottom line to merit implementation.  Candid discussions this week at
MacWorld confirmed that Tiger (OS X 10.4) will likewise ship without this
essential capability at a time when the opportunity for Apple is at its peak
in this market.  I believe this would be a serious error, and that Apple
must now hear from us on this issue.

If you agree, then please reply directly to me, RIGHT NOW
(mailto:warren..at..delsci.com) with the words: "Stereo 3D matters to me."  Your
response will be printed, and I will hand-deliver them to Apple management
in nearby Cupertino at the end of the month.  We need AS MANY responses as
we can get (ideally 1,000+), so please forward this email to all of your
visualization-oriented colleagues (in any sector), and ask them to submit
individual emails to me as well.  Here's why: 

Stereoscopic 3D visualization increasingly matters in science, medicine, and
engineering.  Though arguably the ultimate technical computing platform, the
Mac remains hopelessly crippled in this key respect when compared to Sun,
HP, Dell, or IBM workstations running Linux, Solaris, or even Windows.
Dual-Xeon and dual-Opteron systems now ship stereo-3D-ready thanks to
powerful nVidia/Quadro and ATI/FireGL graphics cards.  Thus, the competition
WILL OWN THIS MARKET if Apple doesn't support stereo-3D in a window on MacOS
X, ASAP.  The disruptive market opportunity created by the implosion of SGI
and the stopgap adoption of "home brew" Linux systems is about to end.
Professional-grade stereoscopic visualization is now a standard OpenGL
capability, it is vendor-supported on a variety of hardware, and it is
present on every platform EXCEPT THE MAC.  None of those "amazing features"
in Tiger matter one bit to technical users whose basic needs remain unmet.

Stereo-3D inadequacy is a show-stopper for many scientists and engineers.
The Mac will not have a fair shot at this market unless Apple quickly
follows though on it's assumed responsibility to support all OpenGL
features, including quad-buffered stereo-3D graphics in a window.  Case in
point:  my company just spent $5k on a dual-Opteron Sun workstation instead
of a dual-G5 Mac solely because stereo-3D in a window is absent from MacOS
X.  This pattern will surely be amplified many thousand-fold if Apple does
not take immediate corrective action.

Responding together, we can insure that Apple understands what this
deficiency means for the future of MacOS X in scientific, medical, and
technical visualization.  I do not believe that Apple management has made an
informed decision regarding stereo-3D, and I think this is our last best
chance to change things before the issue becomes moot.  

Please share your concerns by responding to this email
(mailto:warren..at..delsci.com).  It will only take a second, but the benefits
could last for years to come if Apple listens well and then acts decisively.


Input from current Linux and Windows users is especially welcome, since
Apple would love to sell you the visualization platform of your dreams if
you're willing to help define it.  Thank you for your time.

Cheers,
Warren

Dear Luca,

Marvin has relevant calculator plugins for related tasks, namely
the "major microspecies" and "pKa" plugins.

"Major microspecies" is able to generate the highest concentration
protonation state at a given pH, and "pKa" can show the distributions of
each microspecies concentration along the whole pH range.

Marvin plugins are accessible from the Marvin GUIitself, but you can use 
them in JAVA programs using these classes:

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/doc/api/chemaxon/marvin/calculations/MajorMicrospeciesPlugin.html

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/doc/api/chemaxon/marvin/calculations/pKaPlugin.html

(there is some example code in the class headers)
Furthermore, we provide the command line tool cxcalc:

cxcalc majorms -H 3.2 test.mol
id      major-ms
1       [NH3+]C1C(Cl)OC(C(CCl)C1C([O-])=O)C([O-])=O

(You set the pH in -H)
In the following release there will be possible to set the major-ms
format other than SMILES (e.g. mol or sdf) but sorry, no mol2 support in
marvin. I suggest to use something like Open Babel for converting the
results.

For a list of command line parameters, type:

cxcalc majorms -h

And finally about the price tag: From your email address it seems that
you are in academia, so you can join the ChemAxon academic program and
use any of our software free of charge. For more information about this
and to download marvin, please visit www.chemaxon.com

Best regards,

Szabolcs

Dear all,

I am compiling some software with MPI, and the command is:

$(MAKE) LD="ifort -o" \
 LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/encap/mpich-125-2-intel/lib -lmpich -lpmpich" \
 FC=ifort FFLAGS="-c -O -B100" TIMER="" \
 CPFLAGS="-D$(STRESS) -DMPI -P -D'POINTER=integer' \
 -I/usr/local/encap/mpich-125-2-intel/include/" \
 EX=$(EX) BINROOT=$(BINROOT) $(TYPE)

during the compilation, the source file .f  are transferred to .i

as it showed:
/lib/cpp -DSTRESS -DMPI -P -D'POINTER=integer' -I/usr/local/encap/mpich-125-2-intel/include/filename.f 
 > filename.i
cp filename.i filename.tmp.f
mv filename.tmp.o filename.o
rm filename.i

for some of the file, after the .f changed to tmp.f, some of the statements 
are moved to the left, so the format of the file is messed up, for eg.

100    close     changed to
100   close

does any one have similiar experience? anyone have any suggestions?

thank you!

best wishes,

R.Z
