 Dear Colleagues,

With regret and a sense of loss, I write to inform you that last
Friday, Oct. 5, 2000, Prof. Per-Olov Lowdin died.  He was at home with
his family in Uppsala.  His health had been impaired since a heart
valve replacement approximately two years ago.

At the moment we have no details with regard to a funeral or memorial.
When we do the information will be posted at the QTP web site:
     http://www.qtp.ufl.edu
Follow the "In Memoriam" link.

If you wish to write to Karin Lowdin, her address is
     St. Olafsgatan 12
     75312 Uppsala
     Sweden

Please forgive duplicate mailings.  We are using the Sanibel list
in order to give as broad a coverage of Per-Olov's colleagues and
friends as possible.

Peace, Sam

Hello CCL List Members:

Can anyone recommend a "good" software package for neural network data
fitting?  Similar to the way that CADChem's Neural Network software suite
operates would be "good".

Joe

Hi,

Does anyone in this list have the experience with the
computation/simulation of DNA melting curve? 

I would like to know how to get accurate width(half-height) 
of the melting curve for very short DNA, like decamer or 15mer.

Any comment is very appreciated.
