Proof Positive: Applications Of Chemical Analysis Techniques In Art Forgery Detection, Joseph Fryc
Proof Positive: Applications Of Chemical Analysis Techniques In Art Forgery Detection, Joseph Fryc
Museum Studies Theses
In response to the subjective nature of older forgery detection techniques, modern forgery detection methods rely heavily on chemical analysis of the materials utilized in a given piece of work in order to make authenticity determinations. Chemical methods of detection at their core provide an objective determination of facts regarding the composition of materials utilized in contested pieces and provide a relative date of production for those materials. In this way, chemical analysis helps service the field of modern forgery detection as a direct compliment to traditional stylistic analysis, by providing extra data on the piece that can often be …

Collaborative Chemical Information Literacy: Is It "Scholarly?", Barbara C. Harvey
Barbara C. Harvey
This symposium illustrates a collaborative classroom activity that incorporates information literacy into an introductory chemistry course. The primary learning outcomes of the activity are to understand the peer-review process, knowing how to locate original research articles based on “clues” in a general news article, and how to differentiate between popular and scholarly periodicals. Students work in small groups in a highly-collaborative classroom setting. Each group is given a recent chemistry-related news item, and must determine how and where to find the original research article the news item is based on. Emphasis is placed on identifying original, peer-reviewed research publications. Each …

Analysis For Science Librarians Of The 2013 Nobel Prize In Chemistry: The Work Of Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt, And Arieh Warshel, Mary Van Ullen
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
The 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists, Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt, and Arieh Warshel, in recognition of their work in developing sophisticated computer models that can predict and explain complex chemical processes. Newtonian physics can be applied to understanding the properties of macromolecules, but it cannot be used to model the extremely rapid changes that occur during chemical reactions. Quantum physics can be used to describe the instantaneous changes that happen at reaction sites; however, quantum calculations are extremely demanding of computing resources. The novel idea behind the 2013 award is the combination of both classical …

Quasirandom Distributed Gaussian Bases For Bound Problems, Sophya Garashchuk, John C. Light
Quasirandom Distributed Gaussian Bases For Bound Problems, Sophya Garashchuk, John C. Light
Faculty Publications
We introduce quasirandom distributed Gaussian bases (QDGB) that are well suited for bound problems. The positions of the basis functions are chosen quasirandomly while their widths and density are functions of the potential. The basis function overlap and kinetic energy matrix elements are analytical. The potential energy matrix elements are accurately evaluated using few-point quadratures, since the Gaussian basis functions are localized. The resulting QDGB can be easily constructed and is shown to be accurate and efficient for eigenvalue calculation for several multidimensional model vibrational problems. As more demanding examples, we used a 2D QDGB-DVR basis to calculate the lowest …
