The enthalpy of formation of HSO is estimated to be -5.4 +/- 1.3 kcal/mol through a series of multireference configuration interaction (MR-CI) calculations that systematically expand the orbital basis set. The estimated value of DELTAH(f)degrees suggests that HSO may well be involved in a catalytic cycle that depletes ozone in the atmosphere. In contrast to all earlier theoretical studies, the computed energy difference between the HSO and SOH isomers is estimated to be 5.4 kcal/mol, with the HSO isomer being more stable.

One major challenge in developing multi-agent simulations is to find the appropriate agent design that is able generating the intended overall phenomenon respectively dynamics, but does not contain unnecessary details. In this paper we suggest to use agent learning for supporting the development of an agent model: The modeler defines the environmental model and the agent interfaces. Using rewards capturing the intended agent behavior, Reinforcement Learning techniques can be used for learning the rules that are optimally governing the agent behavior. However, for really being useful in a modeling and simulation context, a human modeler must be able to review and understand the outcome of the learning. We propose to use additional forms of learning as post-processing step for supporting the analysis of the learnt model. We test our ideas using a simple evacuation simulation scenario.

The structures of hydride ion-water clusters with up to three water molecules have been computed using accurate ab initio techniques. The water molecules are not distributed symmetrically around the anion. Rather, they cluster on one side of the anion so as to retain a measure of hydrogen bonding. The calculated binding energies (including zero-point energies) for successive addition of water molecules to the hydride ion are 17.4, 14.8, and 13.7 kcal/mol.
Potassium is an essential macronutrient required for plant growth and development. Over the recent decade, an important signalling role of K+ has emerged. Here, we discuss some aspects of such signalling at the variou...

The first fully optimized structure of the water trimer at the MP2 level of theory is reported. It corresponds to a cyclic chiral structure in which all O-O separations are equal to 2.80 angstrom, the O(alpha)H ... O(beta) hydrogen bonds are nonlinear, and two of the terminal hydrogens lie on one side of the O-O-O plane and the third lies on the other. This structure is in qualitative agreement with that reported recently by Pugliano and Saykally [Science 257, 1937 (1992)]. However, the calculations predict the O-O separations to be substantially shorter than those used to fit the far-infrared vibration-rotation-tunneling spectrum. Nonetheless, the computed structure reproduces the measured rotational constants of (D2O)3;the errors are < 1% for A and B and 6% for C An energy analysis yields a three-body term of 2.3 kcal/mol (approximately 15% of D(e) with respect to three isolated water molecules).

How is it possible that a whole ancient civilization disappeared? Was this caused by climate changes? What type of recruitment strategy among social insects is best adapted to their particular environment? How much time does it take to evacuate an airport if people have limited perception caused by smoke as well as restricted mobility? What if many of these people travel in groups or families? How long does it take for commuters to reach their destinations if an important arterial in the Los Angeles area is closed? These are the kind of questions that can be and are answered by agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS). In this paradigm, simulated human beings or animals are modeled as agents, interacting with some of their peers as well as with their environment. The environment, as in many multiagent systems, plays a key role and must therefore be carefully taken into account. For instance, passengers seeking to leave the airport just mentioned try to find the shortest way to an exit, which may be partially hindered by debris. These are only some examples of scenarios - also characterized as complex adaptive systems - that can be investigated using ABMS. The core idea here is to use simulated agents for producing a phenomenon that shall be analyzed, reproduced, or predicted. This generative, bottom-up nature of modeling and simulation provides great potential for dealing with problems in which conventional modeling and simulation paradigms have difficulties capturing the core features of the original system. In what follows, this particular modeling and simulation paradigm, its concept, properties, and application are introduced and discussed. To this end, concepts about modeling and simulation in general, and about ABMS in particular, are introduced and discussed in the next two sections. Then, some popular environments for ABMS are briefly presented. Applications and case studies are then discussed. We remark that, due to lack of space, we have opted to focus o

Nonadditive intermolecular potentials for ion-H2O and ion-(H2O)2 complexes (ion = Li+ and F-) were derived using molecular-dynamics methods. The successive H2O binding energies and structural properties of Li+ (H2O)n and F-(H2O)n (n = 3-6) clusters, including simulations of aqueous ionic solutions, were examined using these potential parameters. The results reproduce well-observed solvation enthalpies as well as structural properties for these ions. For n < 5, water molecules distributed almost symmetrically around the Li+ ion, while water molecules preferred to cluster on the same side of the F- ion. These features are in agreement with earlier Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, and molecular mechanics studies on similar systems. We studied the relationships between ionic clusters and bulk simulations by comparing structural properties for these simulations. In many cases, we found these properties were quite similar. These results provide valuable information in understanding the relationships between ionic clusters and solution chemistry.
