Hi,

I am searching for a database which is able to give me informations
about a combound. Important for me are the german R- and S-sets.
I would also like to get boiling point, melting point etc.

I know that some companies have something like this for their chemicals
but they seem not to be interested in giving them to students.

Nice would be to get one for UNIX or Atari ST but I could also use for 
IBM compatibles.

Who can help me?

I coated one with a thin layer of  RTV Silicone rubber,
which worked, but then I only used it (In a P&F fusion cell)
for a couple of days, and no radiation was present.

Maybe she simply had ice on her sidewalk?  (I've seen KCl sold as ice melt,
supposed to be more effective and less harmful to plants and concrete than
rock salt, though calcium chloride is even more effective)

Non-sodium table salt, or for mixing with NaCl to make low-sodium
salt.  My dad had (well, still has) a heart condition and sodium is
really bad for him.  The low sodium salt he got had a lot of KCl in
it.

You might first try Smith, Alderidge and Callis, Science 243, 203-206
(1989).   They made videos of large DNAs undergoing electrophoresis
through an agarose gel.  It appears that for that case, that DNA does
not reptate.

Any stat mech book which covers Brownian motion should cover the
Langevin equation (e.g. McQuarrie - Statistical Mechanics, and I
am sure there are others).  

Hope this helps

Silly putty is some kind of boric-acid/silicone copolymer; I don't recall which
silicone is used.  Got invented during the heady days of polymer research (30's

Darn.. no wonder these bottles are tough. This is the same material as
Mylar. Some people use them up to 100+ psi as reservoirs for compressed 
air model plane engines. Much better than the sheet metal they used to 
use back in the 20s and 30s.

I think only some film stocks are polyester. There was an ultra thin stock
Ilford was using for its 50 exposure rolls of HP5. Other films are cellulose 
acetate (not nitrate!).

Also try to contact Mike Schmidt, at North Dakota State University. He 
distributes a very good (free) code called GAMESS (General Atomic and 
Molecular Electronic Structure System) which runs on just about *every* 
platform (except a Kluge 9000). It has a (fairly primitive) X-display 
capability for orbitals etc. Source code is provided, and it does one 
hell of a lot for a free program.

	The only large database I can think of is the "WHMIS" system that is    required by law in all workplaces (including factories, labs) in the province of Ontario, Canada ("WHMIS" means Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System.) As for whether this is freely accessible through the net, I couldn't say for sure. However, if you know anyone at any engineering or science school in Ontario, they may be able to find out for sure.

Also note that although U.S.P grade is poorer than some other grades for
laboratory use, it may actually be safer than "higher grade" chemicals
in that the process is controlled to avoid the introduction of toxic
components in even small amounts.  Other grades may be purer in an
absolute sense but may have toxic components that are specifically
tested for and excluded in U.S.P. grade.

Funny you should ask since I was asking the same of my professors several weeks
ago. The recommended a book by Warren Hehre, the name of which I forget. It is
supposed to be very good in addressing abinitio  calculations.

As far as software, I know of Gaussian and Spartan as two good programs.

We would appreciate ANY info RE: a material and/or process to seal (from
water
absorption) and also electrically insulate a piezo-electric ceramic
crystal,
to be used for Ultrasonic flaw detection in hostile environment:
-Lithiated heavy water (Ph-10) at 300@ C, 1500psi. (10MPa)
-High radiation fields (>1 Mrads gamma + neutrons)

We have tried Cotronics Inc. ceramic adhesive & sealants but the curing
process 
does not lend itself well to this assembly.
