Merck molecular force field. II. MMFF94 van der Waals and electrostatic parameters for intermolecular interactions
This article defines the parameterization and performance of MMFF94 for intermolecular interactions. It specifies the novel “buffered” functional forms used for treating van der...
On the Early History of the Singular Value Decomposition
This paper surveys the contributions of five mathematicians—Eugenio Beltrami (1835–1899), Camille Jordan (1838–1921), James Joseph Sylvester (1814–1897), Erhard Schmidt (1876–19...
Merck molecular force field. III. Molecular geometries and vibrational frequencies for MMFF94
This article describes the parameterization and performance of MMFF94 for molecular geometries and deformations. It defines the form used for the valence-coordinate terms that r...
Merck molecular force field. V. Extension of MMFF94 using experimental data, additional computational data, and empirical rules
This article describes the extension of the Merck Molecular Force Field (MMFF94) to a much broader range of organic systems. It also describes a preliminary parameterization of ...

Imaging of single molecule diffusion.
In recent years observations at the level of individual atoms and molecules became possible by microscopy and spectroscopy. Imaging of single fluorescence molecules has been ach...
Banks, Finance and Investment in Germany
This book analyses the widely-held view of the merits of the 'bank-based' German system of finance for investment, and shows that this view is not supported by evidence from the...
Banks and Corporate Control in Japan
Using a large sample of Japanese firm level data, we find that Japanese banks act primarily in the short term interests of creditors when dealing with firms outside bank groups....
Failing the Public Health — Rofecoxib, Merck, and the FDA
On May 21, 1999, Merck was granted approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market rofecoxib (Vioxx). On September 30, 2004, after more than 80 million patients had...
Measurement of Separate Cosmic-Ray Electron and Positron Spectra with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
We measured separate cosmic-ray electron and positron spectra with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. Because the instrument does not have an onboard magnet, we distinguish the two...
