ACRES Adaptive Coordinate Real-space Electronic Structure code ACRES is a density-functional theory (DFT) code designed to perform total energy calculations for atoms, molecules, bulk solids and surfaces on parallel computers such as CM-5, IBM SP2 and ORIGIN 2000. These calculations are performed in real space on a grid that is adapted to spatially inhomogeneous cutoff (or resolution) requirements of a given system. Sparsity of the DFT Kohn-Sham hamiltonian in real space and load balancing resulting from the adaptive mesh make ACRES an excellent technique for use on parallel computers. It can be used to perform all-electron calculations for the above systems, though most practical applications to crystalline solids involve using pseudopotentials to represent the interaction between nuclei and electrons. ACRES also computes Hellman-Feynman forces acting on atoms allowing relaxation of structures. Development of ACRES Most of this code has been developed by Drs. Normand Modine and Gil Zumbach under the supervision of Prof. Efthimios Kaxiras at the department of Physics, Harvard University. Of late, Normand Modine, Umesh V. Waghmare, Gregory Smith, Melvin Chen and Hanchul Kim have been working on the further development of ACRES. The work has been supported by the Office of Naval Research. Further development of the code and porting to various parallel platforms form the ongoing work as part of the CHSSI program of the DoD HPCMP.

The theory describes only the way systems affect each other in the course of physical interactions. State and physical quantities refer always to the interaction, or the relation, between two systems. Nevertheless, the theory is assumed to be complete. The physical content of quantum theory is understood as expressing the net of relations connecting all different physical systems. 1. Introduction 1.1 The problem 2.

The theory is the core component of the momentous change that our understanding of the physical world has undergone during the first decades of the 20th century. It is one of the most successful scientific theories ever: it is supported by vast and unquestionable empirical and technological effectiveness and is today virtually unchallenged. But the interpretation of what the theory actually tells us about the physical world raises a lively debate, which has continued with alternating fortunes, from the early days of the theory in the late twenties, to nowadays.

70. Chaos Article about the development of the theory and its astromomic insights. http://www.geocities.com/paul_bt@sbcglobal.net/essays/ChaosandSolarSystem4.htm

Chaos and the Solar System Paul Trow Mathematical theories do not usually get much public attention. A recent exception is the theory of chaos, which emerged on the scientific world in the 1970’s, and has since received extensive coverage by the media and in a number of books aimed at a general audience. The term “chaos” has even made its way into several popular science fiction movies. Part of the fascination with this theory has to do its claim that chaos – which is inherently more interesting than order - is a pervasive feature of the world around us. Chaos, we are told, is responsible for the unpredictability of the weather and the fluctuations of the stock market. We can observe it in ecological systems, the rhythms of the human body, and the turbulence of a mountain stream. Surprisingly, although chaos is all around us here on Earth, the mathematician Henri Poincare first discovered it, late in the nineteenth century, in the mathematics underlying the solar system. Before explaining just what Poincare discovered, let us recall a little of the background the background that led up to it. In a sense, chaos theory is as a belated reaction to the principle of determinism, which has dominated science for over three hundred years. Newton established this principle through his second law of motion, force equals mass times acceleration, from which it follows that if we know all of the forces acting on a system, we should – at least in theory - be able to predict how it will evolve over time. Determinism gave rise to the metaphor of the clockwork universe, which, when once wound up, will evolve forever in a predetermined manner.

On-Line Discussion Groups Benefits of Systems Thinking for Leaders and Supervisors in Organizations (The following information ws adapted from the guidebook, Field Guide to Leadership and Supervision Management sciences have learned a great deal lately about organizations and how they work. Much of this learning has come from adopting the perspective that organizations are systems, much like people, plants and animals. There are many benefits to leaders who adopt this systems view of their organizations. More effective problem solving To effectively solve problems in organizations, it is critical to be able to identify the real causes of the problems and how to address those causes. Without clear understanding of the "big picture" of an organization, leaders tend to focus only on the behaviors and events associated with problems in the workplace, rather than on the systems and structures that caused the problems to occur in the first place. More effective leadership The most important responsibilities of the role of a leader are to set direction and to influence others to follow that direction. It's difficult to establish direction for an organization and to keep that organization on its course if you don't understand how the organization works in the first place. Without clear understanding of the overall nature and needs of an organization, the leader can get lost in the day-to-day activities of the organization, never really giving attention to the more important activities, such as planning the organization's overall direction and organizing the organization's resources. As a result, the leader "can't see the forest for the trees". The leader ends up working harder, rather than smarter.

BehaveNet family psychotherapy system/systems theory The most general definition of system [Greek systema, a composite thing] is the ordered composition of (material or mental) elements into a unified whole. The various fields of systems research concentrate on differing aspects or perspectives of the elements and systems . General systems theory , like cybernetics , concerns itself with the functions and structural rules valid for all systems , irrespective of their material constitution. The premises of systems theory are based on the insight that a system as a whole is qualitatively different, and "behaves" differently, from the sum of the system's individual elements. In the framework of family therapy, the application of the term " system " is identical to its application in the field of cybernetics. This concept takes account of system features like feedback , the processing and storage of information adaptability , the ability for self-organization , and the development of strategies for the system's own behavior.*

CASTEP is a software package which uses density functional theory to provide a good atomic-level description of all manner of materials and molecules. CASTEP can give information about total energies, forces and stresses on an atomic system, as well as calculating optimum geometries, band structures, optical spectra, phonon spectra and much more. It can also perform molecular dynamics simulations. Tell me more about how CASTEP uses density functional theory Where did CASTEP come from? CASTEP was originally created by Prof. M.C. Payne and subsequently developed by various UK academics, primarily from the TCM group in Cambridge. For various technical reasons, it was felt in 1999 that the original code was in need of a total re-design and re-write, and so the CASTEP Development Group was created to do just that, using modern coding styles and Fortran90. CASTEP is marketed commercially by Accelrys , along with Materials Studio, their graphical frontend for MS Windows. In the United Kingdom there is an academic distribution, maintained by UKCP The key features of this new plane-wave code were that it was to be: Designed and specified in advance Portable Parallelised Clear, modular structure

Information Systems College of Business Administration University of Missouri - St. Louis Information Systems Analysis Systems Theory A system is composed of interacting parts that operate together to achieve some objective or purpose a system is intended to "absorb" inputs, process them in some way and produce outputs outputs are defined by goals, objectives or common purposes There are five components that need to be considered when defining the system: people, organization, data, technology and type of decision In order to understand the relationship between inputs, outputs and processes, you need to understand the environment in which all of this occurs. The environment represents everything that is important to understanding the functioning of the system, but is not part of the system. The environment it is that part of the world that can be ignored in the analysis except for its interaction with the system. It includes: competition, people, technology, capital, raw materials, data, regulation and opportunities. The boundary defines the difference between the environment and the system; the correct boundary is a function of the problem under consideration.

80. Theoretical Climate Dynamics - Dynamical Systems Dynamical systems theory provides powerful tools to help understand problems related to the complex climate system. The TCD group engages in the development http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/tcd/RESEARCH/research_dyn.html

Dynamical systems theory provides powerful tools to help understand problems related to the complex climate system. The TCD group engages in the development of the theory, such as bifurcation theory Boolean delay equations mixing and transport , as well as their applications. Other theoretical efforts include the stability of fluid flows and the dynamics of planetary orbits. Numerical bifurcation theory Many systems in nature exhibit different regimes of temporal evolution pattens, depending on the values of key parameters. Bifurcation theory, combined with recent developments in numerical techniques and computational resources, enables us to determine "when and how" the transition from one regime of behavior to another occurs. Examples can be found in the following TCD research projects' web pages: low-frequency variability atmosphere-ocean interaction 3-D ocean circulation , and physical processes ; see also the Department of Atmospheric Sciences brochure ( Theoretical Climate Dynamics Boolean delay equations The temporal evolution of many physical and biological systems is determined by feedback processes among the essential variables. The feedback mechanisms, in many cases, depend on a set of thresholds associated with the state variables; each feedback has a characteristic time scale.
