  • Total Bond Energies of Exact Classical Solutions of Molecules Generated by Millsian 1.0 Compared to Those Computed Using Modern 3-21G and 6-31G* Basis Sets
    Total Bond Energies of Exact Classical Solutions of Molecules Generated by Millsian 1.0 Compared to Those Computed Using Modern 3-21G and 6-31G* Basis Sets R. L. Mills, B. Holverstott, B. Good, N. Hogle, A. Makwana Millsian, Inc., 493 Old Trenton Road, Cranbury, NJ 08512, www.millsian.com ABSTRACT Mills [1-12] solved the structure of the bound electron using classical laws and subsequently developed a unification theory based on those laws called the Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics (GUTCP) with results that match observations for the basic phenomena of physics and chemistry from the scale of the quarks to cosmos. Millsian 1.0 is a program comprising molecular modeling applications of GUTCP, solving atomic and molecular structures based on applying the classical laws of physics, (Newton’s and Maxwell’s Laws) to the atomic scale. The functional groups of all major classes of chemical bonding including those involved in most organic molecules have been solved exactly in closed-form solutions. By using these functional groups as building blocks, or independent units, a potentially infinite number of molecules can be solved. As a result, Millsian software can visualize the exact three-dimensional structure and calculate physical characteristics of almost any molecule of any length and complexity. Even complex proteins and DNA (the molecules that encode genetic information) can be solved in real-time interactively on a personal computer. By contrast, previous software based on traditional quantum methods must resort to approximations and run on powerful computers for even the simplest systems. The energies of exact classical solutions of molecules generated by Millsian 1.0 and those from a modern quantum mechanics-based program, Spartan’s pre- computed database using 3-21G and 6-31G* basis sets at the Hartree-Fock level of theory, were compared to experimental values.

TIN AND TIN COMPOUNDS iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Tin and Tin Compounds, Draft for Public Comment was released in September 2003. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology/Toxicology Information Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 TIN AND TIN COMPOUNDS vi *Legislative Background The toxicological profiles are developed in response to the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 (Public law 99-499) which amended the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund). This public law directed ATSDR to prepare toxicological profiles for hazardous substances most commonly found at facilities on the CERCLA National Priorities List and that pose the most significant potential threat to human health, as determined by ATSDR and the EPA. The availability of the revised priority list of 275 hazardous substances was announced in the Federal Register on November 17, 1997 (62 FR 61332). For prior versions of the list of substances, see Federal Register notices dated April 29, 1996 (61 FR 18744); April 17, 1987 (52 FR 12866); October 20, 1988 (53 FR 41280); October 26, 1989 (54 FR 43619); October 17, 1990 (55 FR 42067); October 17, 1991 (56 FR 52166); October 28, 1992 (57 FR 48801); and February 28, 1994 (59 FR 9486).
