(3.) Archives of messages from SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM/ELETQM-L

********************************************************************************

Newsgroup messages are typically not archived by NETNEWS. However, old messages
that appeared on SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM/ELETQM-L are available from two sources if
you ever have the need for them.

(3.1)  They can be retrieved by anonymous ftp to 

       sol.dmp.csiro.au:/pub/electrochem       (192.68.132.2)

The archived files are in an e-mail format. (All you have to do is use your
e-mail program to treat the file as a folder.  Then every article will be
treated as a separate message). Included is a list of articles in chronological
order. This is only a manual archive, so a couple of articles may be missing. 
Especially if the people crossposted the articles.  If you have any problems
using "ftp" contact your system manager or librarian for assistance.

Following is an example of how to do a typical anonymous ftp session. Though
graphical ftp software makes this much easier.

ftp sol.dmp.csiro.au  (makes the connection)

user anonymous

(when it asks for password, enter your e-mail address)

cd/pub/electrochem     (selects the required directory)

ls  (or dir)     (gets a list of files)

ascii    (sets file transfer in ascii mode)

         (for some files the transfer mode needs to be set:  binary  )

get "filename"  (i.e., : get archive.txt.12jul94, or get list.of.articles)

(for local filename, give your choice of name for the file to be transferred)

successful file transfer will be indicated

bye   (exit ftp)

(the file should now be in your current directory under your chosen name)

********************************************************************************

The ftp archival service is courtesy of Lachlan M. D. Cranswick, CSIRO,
Australia. With problems/questions contact:        LACHLAN@DMP.CSIRO.AU

********************************************************************************

(3.2)  All messages are archived on ELETQM-L e-mail list. (Starting with June of
       1994.) 

(3.2.a)    You must be a subscriber of ELETQM-L to retrieve old messages (see
           subscription/unsubscription and other information in Section (2.) )

(3.2.b)    To obtain a listing of all available monthly archival files, send
           the  e-mail message to LISTSERV@PITANGA.UFU.BR :   
  
                     INDEX ELETQM-L 

(3.2.c)    To obtain any of the files, send the e-mail message to  LISTSERV :

                     GET ELETQM-L LOGXXXX 

(3.2.d)    The archived messages of ELETQM-L can be searched using listserv 
          database functions. To obtain an introductory description about this 
          service, send the e-mail message to LISTSERV :

                     GET LISTDB MEMO

********************************************************************************

(4.) Reading the newsgroup via GOPHER and posting via E-Mail.

********************************************************************************

(4.1) Reading via GOPHER

HINTS: Use the bookmark option of your gopher to enable you to go directly to
the relevant menu item.
In the UNIX generic gopher, before the "electrochem" menu option, type "a" and
fill in the name.
To now revisit the electrochem area, all you have to do is type "v" (view) and
all you bookmarks will appear.  Pick the electrochem bookmark you typed in
previously.

********************************************************************************

There are three gopher servers listed here that can handle reading of
newsgroups via gopher: (more additions welcome)

Los Alamos National Laboratory Gopher (was very fast and extremely up to date)

gopher gopher.lanl.gov or (gopher 128.165.3.1)

18. Network News (USENET)/

2.  All USENET Newsgroups/

32. sci             /

17. chem            /

1.  electrochem     /

********************************************************************************

CSIRO Gopher (decent speed but the news into Australia has been slow lately)

gopher commsun.its.csiro.au or (gopher 152.83.8.2)

When a menu shows up, chose the following options :-

    USENET News - Internet Bulletin Board/
 
    sci/

    chem/

    electrochem/

********************************************************************************

Australian National University (Presently accessable from anywhere/anytime)
gopher life.anu.edu.au or (gopher 150.203.38.74)

11. general - journals, phone email, news etc /

27. news/

15. USENET News (via Canberra)/

20. sci/

    chem/

    electrochem/

********************************************************************************

(4.2) Posting via E-Mail

E-mail articles to: SCI.CHEM.ELECTROCHEM@NEWS.DEMON.CO.UK

Everything else, such as title, and message text should be done as per a normal
email message.

As using the "alias" facility of your email program can make posting via email
a very easy procedure. If your email program does not support this "alias"
option:

a) Consider changing to a "better" email program such as the public domain
(i.e., free) "pine" software which is available for UNIX, DOS and Mac.  This
program is very user friendly and powerful (to obtain binaries, anonymous ftp
to ftp.cac.washington.edu:/pine (140.142.100.6:/pine). (there are other
programs around - e.g., Wintrumpet (MS-Windows), Eudora (Mac and MS-Windows),
etc).

b) Email the old fashioned way to to submit your message or article.

(7.2) Software package: Chemical reaction network toolbox (CRNT), Version 1.02

        The Chemical Reaction Network Toolbox, Version 1.02 is now avail-
able via anonymous FTP at the site: ftp.che.rochester.edu in the directory 
pub/feinberg. 
(An example of the use of anonymous ftp service is shown in Section (3.1))

There is no charge for the program. (It was developed as a suite of tools 
in connection with research sponsored in part by the United States National 
Science Foundation and the Petroleum Research Fund.) 

        The Chemical Reaction Network Toolbox (CRNT) is a program for IBM-
compatible personal computers. It does many, many things. People who use the 
program tell me that it's VERY easy to use and that they like it a lot. 
CRNT should be of interest to chemists, chemical engineers and mathemati-
cians at all levels of expertise (ranging from undergraduates to those 
engaged in very advanced research). I know that CRNT will provide chemical 
engineering students with lots of help with their kinetics homework! 

        The program consists of two parts, ChemLab and Network Analyst, that 
"talk to each other". ChemLab is the part of CRNT that will probably be of 
interest to most users, so I'll describe that first.  

        ChemLab is essentially a simulation environment. In response to a 
user-specified network of chemical reactions (and a user-specified 
assignment of rate constants), ChemLab will  generate the appropriate 
(isothermal mass action) system of ordinary differential equations governing 
the species concentrations. (These differential equations will generally be 
nonlinear and can be very complex.) In response to user-specified initial 
conditions, ChemLab will solve the differential equations and display the 
results in a variety of numerical and graphical formats. In particular, 
ChemLab will plot species concentrations vs. time and will draw two- and 
three-dimensional composition trajectories. ChemLab will also draw several 
trajectories simultaneously so that you can see two- and three-dimensional 
phase portraits.  

        Network Analyst, on the other hand, is somewhat more advanced. It 
implements certain results in chemical reaction network theory.  Chemical 
reaction network theory deals with the relationship between reaction net-
work structure and qualitative properties of the corresponding differential 
equations.  For example, in response to a user-specified reaction network, 
Network Analyst will try to determine if there can be rate constants such 
that the resulting differential equations admit composition oscillations, 
an unstable steady state, multiple steady states, a degenerate steady state 
(i.e., one with a zero eigenvalue), and so on.  When the Network Analyst 
determines that the answer is NO, it will tell you so. On the other hand, 
if Network Analyst determines, for example, that a reaction network has the 
capacity for multiple steady states, it will exhibit a sample set of 
rate constants along with a pair of steady states consistent with them. 
(The rate constants and the steady states can be exported to ChemLab for 
further study.) It should be mentioned in particular that Network Analyst 
provides powerful tools for mechanism discrimination in heterogeneous 
catalysis 

        CRNT comes with an on-screen tutorial and a help system that get 
you up and running pretty quickly. (Or so I'm told.) The tutorial was 
written primarily with chemical engineers and chemists in mind, but there's 
an appendix for mathematicians who want to understand how the differential 
equations come about. Again, ChemLab is probably the part of CRNT that will 
be of interest to most users, so it's probably best to concentrate on that 
first.  

       There are two files you'll want to retrieve via FTP: The first, 
CRNTPACK.TXT, is a text file that explains how to use the main file, 
CRNTPACK.EXE. (CRNTPACK.EXE is a compressed, self-extracting file that 
"unpacks" all the files that CRNT need to run properly.) Before retrieving 
CRNTPACK.TXT via FTP, the FTP mode should be ASCII (usually the default).  
Just before retrieving CRNTPACK.EXE, you should change the FTP mode to 
BINARY. This is done simply by entering BINARY at the FTP prompt. 
(An example of the use of anonymous ftp service is shown in Section (3.1))

        Once the unpacking is finished, enter CRNT at the DOS prompt, and 
you'll be up and running. On your first time out, you should select "Hello, 
New User!" from the main menu. Have fun. 

                         WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.02

        Apart from some minor bug fixes, there are three things that are new 
in Version 1.02: 

a. As of Version 1.02, the Chemical Reaction Network Toolbox is a protected 
mode program. This means that it can use all of your computer's memory, not 
just conventional memory. The program should run (as a DOS program) under 
Windows reasonably well. That's been my experience with Windows 3.11, but I 
don't yet know what will happen under Windows 95. You should know that 
protected mode DOS programs (which is what CRNT is now) tend to run a little 
slower than real mode programs. Moreover, they are more prone to bugs. 
Please let me know if you find any and how they are provoked.

b. Users of previous versions have asked that results of ChemLab experiments 
be exportable to text files. The idea is to have a plain output that can 
then be imported to spreadsheet programs such as Excel, Lotus 123 or Quattro 
Pro. You'll now find a new line in the Run Experiment menu labeled Write 
Output to Text File. As before, the F1 key will provide help.   

c. The old limitation of 32,767 integration steps is gone. You can now 
choose 100,000 steps (actually 99,999). If anyone feels there's a need for 
more, let me know.

(7.7) Program for modeling complex systems of chemical reactions (react3.21)

The executables are available at

ftp://infomeister.osc.edu/pub/chemistry/software

under /Mac , /OS2, or /MS-DOS /react.  Current release is react3.21.

The program is provided at no charge as a gift to the chemistry community- it
comes with no warranty of any kind. Do not sell or remarket the program or
collect fees based on distributing it. 

The program reads in a reaction mechanism file and builds the descriptive set
of differential equations which are then solved subject to integration
parameters from separate parameter and initial value files.

If experimental data is available it may optionally be used to adjust one or
more rate constants in a least-squares sense.

A reaction mechanism file might look like:

Mechanism from Edelson, J Chem Ed 52, 642 (1975)
5e-8     O2- + Cs+ --> Cs + O2
the + in CS+ is part of the name the + between tokens is ignored
1e-12    Cs+ + e- --> Cs
3.24e-3     Cs --> Cs+ + e-
..4       O2-   --> O2 + e-
1.76e-16    O2 + Cs --> CsO2
here is a really slow reaction
1.24e-30 O2 + O2 + e- --> O2 + O2-
1.4e-16     O2  + e- --> O2- 


Lines lacking an ARROW are treated as comments.
Reactions flagged with an '*' are treated as least-squares 
parameters if experimental data is also provided.

an initial value file might look like

e-    100   1e-30
O2-      520 1e-30
Cs+      620 1e-30
O2 3.6e14   1e-30
Cs 1.0e12   1e-30

first column is name, then amount/concentration and last an error 
bound term a parameter file looks like

0 100 1e4   100

start time, time step, stop time, max number of lines to print (for safety)
Additional inputs must be specified for fitting data- see the readme files.
THERE ARE SOME RESERVED NAMES- SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE DISTRIBUTION

Output is a table suitable for use with many common plotting programs such as
gnuplot, IGor, Cricket, etc.
