Subject: TDDFT in terms of polarization propagator

Hi,

Does someone know whether TDDFT (or TDDFRT) has been derived in terms
of the polarization propagator (Green's functions). It would easen the
comparison with standard derivation of RPA (or TDHF).

Thanks,

Serge Kwasniewski

Unless you prefere open-source drivers, in which case you'll choose Matrox
or ATI. Nvidia provide their own binary-only driver.

  Dear Friends,

I would like to know if it is possible to change the Curvilinear step =
convergence or increase its maximum step.


Thanks in advance,

Hi there,
The Nvidia GeForce4 models just come out and it costs about $120 US 
dollars for a model with 64 MB DDR memory.
This will be a good choice!

Hi,

In order to speed data entry on drug-like compounds into BindingDB (www.bindingdb.org), we need a quick method of going from something like "R1=N-(Methylcarbamoyl)methyl" to a molfile or smiles string.  I'd appreciate advice on available software --commercial or academic -- to help with this.

Thanks,
Mike

Neither open source driver provides reasonable hardware acceleration
for transformation and lighting, which is critical when modeling large
structures.  The ATI driver has been trying to add this for some time,
but I don't believe it was ever achieved.

I don't have any problem with closed source drivers as long as they
integrate well into my system and don't cause a problem when I upgrade
to new kernels, etc.

My personal favorite video card on Linux is the ATI FireGL2, which has
very good performance, a "reasonable" price, closed source driver from
ATI, and mostly importantly to me, support for quad buffered stereo on
Linux.  I have tested this card with Chimera and it works wonderfully,
even in situations where I am looking at very large structures (1jj2,
99000 atoms) with smooth ribbons and surfaces.

I also have a GeForce2 MX at home, which I've tested using the nvidia drivers
and it works pretty well- good enough to model moderately large structures
with no visual delay.  No card w/o HW T&L support can do this, even with a fast
CPU (and I want to leave my CPU for other tasks).

Dave

Symposium, The Chemistry Of Computers,  sponsored by the ACS Division of
Computers in Chemistry, COMP,  at the 18-22 August 2002 Natl Mtg of the
AmChemSoc in Boston

The AmChemSoc Division of Computers in Chemistry, COMP, has a new initiative;
namely, The Chemistry Of Computers. Thus COMP is reaching out beyond
algorithms and programming to the Chemistry underlying the stuff of which
computers are made and associated technologies. As these devices become more
and more compact we need to understand better what more is possible working at
the level of molecular science.

Of course that includes micro and molecular level electronics, as well as
self-assembly of intelligent devices, but ranges further into the Chemistry of
displays, telecommunication materials, the computer-human interface, and
beyond. Chemists are becoming computer engineers.

Potential contributors to this COMP Symposium, The Chemistry OF Computers,
should contact the Symposium Organizer, IIT Professor Peter Lykos
( lykos@iit.edu ). Titles and abstracts may be submitted by 25 March 2002,
http://oasys.acs.org/oasys.htm .

Please spread the word.

ChemDraw Ultra will do this (assuming you can preprocess to remove the
"R1=" part, and leave just the actual name string).

Note that that specific example likely has a typo.  It's probably intended
to be "(N-methylcarbamoyl)methyl"
