Purchase of a Departmental Computer System

这项来自化学共享研究仪器项目的奖项将帮助怀俄明大学化学系获得图形计算机系统。此次收购将加强的化学研究领域包括：1.作为立体堵塞探针的电荷转移络合物和自组装单分子膜中的取向运动装置2.化学反应的统一理论处理能量表面3.蜘蛛丝蛋白结构功能4.固态和分子金属硫化物的电子结构5.络合氟烷基膦的电子性质研究6.硫原子光氧化过程中的远程参与进行前沿研究的化学家越来越依赖能够处理复杂模拟的计算机，数据分析和图形软件。单一的解决方案可以满足在一台实验室计算机上容纳多个用户和在一个化学系设施上容纳多个用户的需要：单独的工作站满足大多数用户的需求，对于其余的，随时可以访问其他类型的工作站，并最终访问一台微型超级计算机。

This award from the Chemistry Shared Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wyoming to acquire a graphics computer system. The areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include: 1. Charge-Transfer Complexes as Probes of Steric Congestion and Facility of Orientational Motion in Self-Assembled Monolayers 2. Unified Theoretical Treatment of Chemical Reaction Energy-Surfaces 3. Spider Silk Protein Structure Function 4. Electronic Structures of Solid State and Molecular Metal Sulfides 5. An Investigation of the Electronic Properties of Chelating Fluoroalkylphosphines 6. Remote Participation During Photooxidation at Sulfur Chemists carrying out frontier research are relying more and more on computers that are capable of handling sophisticated simulations, data analysis and graphics software. The need to accomodate multiple users on the single laboratory computer and multiple users on a single chemistry department facility can be met by a single solution: individual work stations for the majority of user needs and, for the remainder, ready access to other types of work stations and, ultimately, to a mini supercomputer.
