Purchase of a Departmental Computer System

这份来自化学共享研究仪器项目的奖励将帮助怀俄明大学化学系获得一个图形计算机系统。此次收购将加强的化学研究领域包括：电荷转移配合物作为自组装单层膜空间拥塞和取向运动的探针化学反应能面统一理论处理蜘蛛丝蛋白结构功能固态和分子金属硫化物的电子结构螯合氟烷基膦的电子性质研究6。硫光氧化过程中的远程参与化学家开展前沿研究越来越依赖于能够处理复杂模拟，数据分析和图形软件的计算机。单个实验室计算机上容纳多个用户和单个化学部门设施上容纳多个用户的需求可以通过一个解决方案来满足：单个工作站满足大多数用户的需求，对于其余用户，可以随时访问其他类型的工作站，并最终使用迷你超级计算机。

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.
