A chemical database is a database specifically designed to store chemical information.
This information is about chemical and crystal structures, spectra, reactions and syntheses, and thermophysical data.
Chemical structures
Chemical structures are usually shown using lines (that indicate chemical bonds between atoms) and drawn on paper.
Computer search algorithm and storage cannot use this method.
Small molecules or ligands, are usually represented using lists of atoms and their connections.
Large molecules like protein are shown using their building blocks, amino acids and the order of these.
Large chemical databases for structures allow users to store and search for millions of molecules.
Therefore, they take up terabytes of memory.
Chemical literature connect structures or properties of chemicals to academic papers or patents related to them.
Examples of this type are STN, Scifinder, and Reaxys.
Crystallography databases store x-ray crystal structure data.
Common examples include Protein Data Bank, Cambridge Structural Database, and COD+ Database .
NMR spectra
NMR spectroscopy databases provide information to relate structure and NMR data.
They have information on FTIR and mass spectrometry which help in characterization.
Most chemical databases store information on stable molecules.
In some databases, information about reaction intermediates and temporarily created products are also stored.
Reaction databases contain information about products, educts, and reaction mechanisms.
Thermophysical
phase equilibria such as vapor–liquid equilibrium, solubility of gases in liquids, liquids in solids (SLE), heats of mixing, vaporization, and fusion.
caloric data like heat capacity, heat of formation and combustion,
transport properties like viscosity and thermal conductivity

Aspergillus is a large genus of fungi in the phylum Ascomycota.
There are several hundred species or types, some of which are important to medicine, science and industry.
It grows as a mould, often on plants.
The fungi make asexual spores in a structure called an aspergillum.
About one third of types also have sexual reproduction.
Aspergillus species are highly aerobic and are found in almost all oxygen-rich environments.
They are common contaminants of starchy foods (such as bread and potatoes), and grow in or on many plants and trees.
Species of Aspergillus are important medically and commercially.
Some species can cause infection in humans and other animals.
More than 60 Aspergillus species are medically relevant pathogens.
For humans there is a range of diseases such as infection to the external ear, skin lesions, and ulcers classed as mycetomas.

Atomic physics is the field of physics that studies atoms as an isolated system of electrons and an atomic nucleus.
It is primarily concerned with the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus and
the processes by which these arrangements change.
This includes ions as well as neutral atoms and, unless otherwise stated, for the purposes of this discussion it should be assumed that the term atom includes ions.
The term atomic physics is often associated with nuclear power and nuclear bombs, due to the synonymous use of atomic and nuclear in standard English.
However, physicists distinguish between atomic physics — which deals with the atom as a system consisting of a nucleus and electrons — and nuclear physics, which considers atomic nuclei alone.
As with many scientific fields, strict delineation can be highly contrived and atomic physics is often considered in the wider context of atomic, molecular, and optical physics.
Isolated atoms
Atomic physics always considers atoms in isolation.
Atomic models will consist of a single nucleus that may be surrounded by one or more bound electrons.
It is not concerned with the formation of molecules (although much of the physics is identical), nor does it examine atoms in a solid state as condensed matter.
It is concerned with processes such as ionization and excitation by photons or collisions with atomic particles.
While modelling atoms in isolation may not seem realistic, if one considers atoms in a gas or plasma then the time-scales for atom-atom interactions are huge in comparison to the atomic processes that are generally considered.
This means that the individual atoms can be treated as if each were in isolation, as the vast majority of the time they are.
By this consideration atomic physics provides the underlying theory in plasma physics and atmospheric physics, even though both deal with very large numbers of atoms.
These are naturally in a ground state but can be excited
Electrons that populate a shell are said to be in a bound state.
The energy necessary to remove an electron from its shell (taking it to infinity) is called the binding energy.
Any quantity of energy absorbed by the electron in excess of this amount is converted to kinetic energy according to the conservation of energy.
The atom is said to have undergone the process of ionization.
In the event the electron absorbs a quantity of energy less than the binding energy, it will transition to an excited state.
After a statistically sufficient quantity of time, an electron in an excited state will undergo a transition to a lower state.
The change in energy between the two energy levels must be accounted for (conservation of energy).
In a neutral atom, the system will emit a photon of the difference in energy.
However, if the excited atom has been previously ionized, in particular if one of its inner shell electrons has been removed, a phenomenon known as the Auger effect may take place where the quantity of energy is transferred to one of the bound electrons causing it to go into the continuum.
This allows one to multiply ionize an atom with a single photon.
History and developments
and atomic physics is no exception.
It is usually the case, but not always, that progress goes
followed by some predictions that may or may not be confirmed by experiment, and so on.
Of course, the current state of technology at any given time can put limitations on what can be achieved experimentally and theoretically so it may take considerable time for theory to be refined.
of atoms, in the modern sense of the basic unit of a chemical element.
This theory was developed by the British chemist and physicist John Dalton in the 18th century.
At this stage, it wasn't clear what atoms were although they could be described and classified by their properties (in bulk) in a periodic table.
The true beginning of atomic physics is marked by the discovery of spectral lines and attempts to describe the phenomenon, most notably by Joseph von Fraunhofer.
The study of these lines led to the Bohr atom model and to the birth of quantum mechanics.
In seeking to explain atomic spectra an entirely new mathematical model of matter was revealed.
As far as atoms and their electron shells were concerned, not only did this yield a better overall description, i.e. the atomic orbital model, but it also provided a new theoretical basis for chemistry
Since the Second World War, both theoretical and experimental fields have advanced at a rapid pace.
This can be attributed to progress in computing technology, which has allowed larger and more sophisticated models of atomic structure and associated collision processes.
Similar technological advances in accelerators, detectors, magnetic field generation and lasers have greatly assisted experimental work.

Alioramus is a genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur.
It was about 20 feet long.
It lived during the Upper Cretaceous period in what is now Mongolia.
The type species, A. remotus, is known from a partial skull and three foot bones.
They were got from Mongolian sediments which were deposited in a humid floodplain about 70 million years ago.
A second species, A. altai, known from a much more complete skeleton, was named and described in 2009.
Its relationships to other tyrannosaurid genera are unclear.
Some evidence suggests that Alioramus is closely related to the contemporary species Tarbosaurus bataar.
Wetter climate
The Maastrichtian stage in Mongolia had a wetter and more humid climate than the previous stages.
Sediments show there were floodplains, large river channels and soil deposits, with periodic droughts.
This animal had many teeth, which were smaller than usual in the Tyrannosauridae, and a narrow, lower skull.
It may have been a sub-adult (teenager), and must have eaten different prey than Tyrannosaurus.
Since the general area was a riverine delta, the prey may have been fish.
Walking with Dinosaurs is a 1999 nature documentary series produced by the BBC.
It shows how Dinosaurs lived.
The first episode, "New Blood", follows a Coelophysis trying to survive the dry season.
The next, "Time of the Titans", shows a baby Diplodocus growing up.
The third, "A Cruel Sea", follows a flock of Rhamphorynchus trying to avoid deadly storms.
The fourth, "King of the Skies", follows a sick male Ornithocheirus migrating to Spain.
The fifth, "Spirits of the Frozen Forest", follows a baby Leaellynasaura avoiding a hungry Koolasuchus (a 4 meter salamander).
The last one, "Last of the Dino Dynasty", follows a female Tyrannosaurus who has already to mated and needs to take care of her babies in a world that is about to end as the Kt extinction nears by day in an already struggling volcanic world.
There is also a 2013 film with the same name, a sequel called "Walking with Beasts" and a prequel called "Walking with Monsters".
Ornithocheirus was a crested pterosaur that lived during the late Jurassic period.
There was an ornithocheirus in Walking with Dinosaurs.
Tylosaurus was an Upper Cretaceous mosasaur.
It was a  large, predatory marine lizard closely related to modern monitor lizards and to snakes.
In 1918, Charles H. Sternberg found a Tylosaurus with the remains of a plesiosaur in its stomach.
The specimen is mounted in the United States National Museum (Smithsonian).
The plesiosaur remains are stored in the collections.
Although these important specimens were briefly reported by C.H. Sternberg in 1922, the information was lost to science until 2001.
The specimen was rediscovered and described by Everhart.
It is the basis for the story line in the new (2007) National Geographic IMAX movie - Sea Monsters.

In 1933 he was awarded the band of the Légion d'honneur.
Against the advice of friends, he remained in Ostend during World War II despite the risk of bombardment.
In his old age he was an honored figure among Belgians.
His daily walk made him a familiar sight in Ostend.
He died there after a short illness, on 19 November 1949.
His early works show domestic scenes with little color.
Later he started to use brighter colors.
His subjects became very imaginative.
He painted carnivals, masks, puppets and skeletons.
Les XX was a group of twenty Belgian painters, designers and sculptors.
It was formed in 1883 by the Brussels lawyer, publisher, and entrepreneur Octave Maus.
For ten years 'Les Vingt', as they called themselves, held a yearly exhibition of their art.

The Teatro di San Carlo is a famous opera house in Naples, Italy.
It is sometimes called the Teatro San Carlo or simply the San Carlo.
Its name means Theatre of Saint Charles.
It was built in 1737.
When it was first built it was the biggest opera house in the world.
Today, it is still one of the biggest opera houses in Italy.
It is also the oldest opera house in Italy.
Many operas were first performed at the Teatro di San Carlo.
Seventeen of Donizetti's operas and eight of Rossini's operas were first performed there.
History of Teatro di San Carlo
The new King of Naples, Charles VII, was very interested in the arts.
He wanted the city to have a new and beautiful opera house.
The old one, the Teatro San Bartolomeo, was falling apart.
King Charles paid for building the new theatre.
It was built on land next to his palace and designed by Giovanni Antonio Medrano (1703 – 1760).
The new theatre took only seven months to build.
It opened on 4 March 1737.
The first opera performed there was  (Achilles in Skyros).
The famous Italian poet, Metastasio, wrote the words and story.
Domenico Sarro wrote the music.
He also conducted the orchestra.
The building burnt down on 12 February 1816.
Six days after the fire, King Ferdinand IV (the son of King Charles) asked the architect Antonio Niccolini to build the theatre again.
Nicolini used Medrano's designs but he made the stage bigger.
The inside of the new Teatro di San Carlo was even more beautiful than the first one.
The new theatre opened on 12 January 1817, with an opera by Simon Mayr,  (Partenope's Dream).
Since then, only small changes were made to the building.
It was damaged by bombs during World War II, but American and British soldiers soon repaired it.
Like most Italian opera houses, the Teatro di San Carlo is built in a horseshoe shape.
It has downstairs seats called stalls.
There are six more levels of seats called box seats where groups of people can sit together.
The box seats go all the way to the top of the opera house.
Overall, there are 1386 seats in the Teatro di San Carlo today.
The inside of the theatre has beautiful decorations in red and gold.
A large painting by Giuseppe Cammarano covers the ceiling.
The painting shows the Greek god Apollo and the goddess Minerva.
All around them are famous poets.
Because of its shape, the San Carlo has very good sound quality.
People can hear the singers and orchestra even in the most far away seats.
Operas, ballets and concerts are performed there.
People can also rent the theatre for parties or to put on their own shows.
In 2010, much work was done on the opera house.
It now has more rooms for rehearsals, modern machinery for the stage, and air conditioning.
The Teatro di San Carlo has its own orchestra.

This article is about inhabitants of the Dominican Republic of African descent.
Inhabitants of the Dominican Republic of African descent, see Afro-Dominicans (Dominican Republic).
Afro-Dominicans or Dominicans of African ancestry, are Dominicans whose ancestry ties within the continent of Africa.
Most of them came from West Africa and the Congo.
The first Africans in the Dominican came in 1502 from Spain, 8 years later African-born slaves came in large numbers.
They were forced to work the Mines, Sugar Plantations, Cattling, Cowboys, Maids, Farming and Others.
Today, Afro-Dominicans (40% Black) of the Country's population, while the remaining and majority of Dominicans are multiracial (45%).
They can be found anywhere in the Island as they are the majority, but the purest blacks are mostly in the coastal lowlands of the country.
In the Central Cibao region, you can find people of either European, Mixed and African descent.
The Atlantic slave trade began in the very early 1500s.
Santo Domingo (present-day Dominican Republic) was the first place to transport African slaves in the Americas.
The dying of Indigenous people in the island, caused the Spanish to quickly grant permission from Spain to use slaves to work the plantations.
In 1510, the first sizable ship consisted of 250 Black Latinos (Spanish-speaking men ), 8 years later, African born slaves arrived in massive numbers.
The slave and black population was so big that they would out-number whites from 9 out of 10.
The first major slave revolt took place in Dominican Republic's hills in 1522.
These Maroons were originally from the senegambian region of Africa; of which most were Muslims of the Wolof nation.
Many centuries later the Maroon populations became so large that the only way whites could travel would be in large armed groups.
Most of the Maroon populations established themselves in mostly in rivers, hills/mountains, coastal and in caves.
The Congolese people were known to be very aggressive and naturally strong, they and many of the Mandingas, Wolofs, and Fulanis was the main ethnicity to have been born in Maroon villages.
Haitian Immigration
From the neighboring country, Haitians have also had an influence in the growing population in Dominican Republic.
It's estimated that is around 800,000 Haitians living in the Dominican Republic.
Haitians make a large minority in the country anywhere from 4-6%.
Among the Afro-Haitian population, they originated among the Ewe and Fon tribes of present-day Benin and Togo West Africa.
Ethnicities
Since the then Spanish Haiti (now Dominican Republic) was occupied by Haiti, slavery was abolished from the island to this day.
Enslaved Africans that lived in the then Santo Domingo colony tended to come from the Bantu/Congolese (majority-wise especially the Bakongo), Akan, Yoruba, Igbo, Ewe, Fon, Mandinga, Wolof-Fulanis and Others.
The Congolese-Bakongo tribes has had the most dominant culteral impact in the Dominican  today.
As Dominican slaves came from predominately West-Central Africa, many of their customs survived based-on memory and myths, along with religion, names, words, music, language etc.
Known survived religions are the Regla de palo, Arara, Dominican Vudu, Santería etc.
