Analysis-L -- Analytical Science

Description:
This list is for the discussion of all aspects of analytical science including techniques, methodolgies etc etc. (This list is not just for the discussion of analytical chemistry but for the wider subject area of analytical science). I have formed one list rather than several, more specific lists, because 1) I am unsure of the mail load 2) analytical science is so multidisiplinary that it would probably lead to multi and cross postings 3) I don't have the time to manage of large number of lists 4) there are already several specific lists run at other sites (CZE, electrochem) that I don't want to interfer with.

ANNEAL -- Simulated Annealing.

Description:
This mailing list covers theory and application of simulated annealing, which is a computer algorithm for performing combinatorial optimization. It is used for a variety of problems, including VLSI placement, network optimization, protein folding and logic minimization. Members of the annealing mailing list are typically researchers in the field. Please investigate the algorithm on your own before posting questions to this list.
Subjects:
Thermodynamics, organic chemistry, optimization, protein configuration.

APCHEM -- Astrophysical Chemistry

Description:
The Astrophysical Chemistry Group (ACG) of the Royal Society of Chemistry, which is also affiliated to the Royal Astronomical Society, held its inaugural meeting in April 1994. The purpose of this group is to make a bridge between observational astronomy and atomic and molecular physics and chemistry. Meetings are held regularly which highlight topics of outstanding importance in astronomy in areas in which atomic and molecular physics and chemistry can make a major contribution. An important function of the ACG is to make astronomers aware of what chemists can deliver and chemists aware of what astronomers seek, and to encourage collaborative projects between astronomy and chemistry.
Subjects:
astrophysical chemistry, interstellar chemistry, planetary chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, physical chemistry, theoretical chemistry, computational chemistry.

BIOSCI/BIONET -- Biological Science Groups and Lists

Description:
BIOSCI is a series of freely accessible electronic communication forums (i.e., electronic bulletin boards or "newsgroups") for use by biological scientists worldwide. No fees are charged for the service. The system is intended to promote communication between professionals in the biological sciences. There are over 60 newsgroups and corresponding electronic lists on Bionet ranging from typical biological subjects like cell biology, genetics, parasitology to interdisciplinary fields including molecular modeling, NMR structure determination, and protein crystallography.
Subjects:
Virtually all areas of biology/biochemistry/biophysics.
Editor:
Each list/newsgroup has its own leader. Bionet is managed by David Kristofferson (kristoff@net.bio.net)
To Subscribe:
Once you choose the particular Bionet list and you know its LISTNAME, subscribe by sending a message: subscribe LISTNAME to the address biosci-server@net.bio.net.
To Unsubscribe:
