  • Development of Chemoinformatic Tools to Enumerate Functional Groups in Molecules for Organic Aerosol Characterization G
    Manuscript prepared for Atmos. Chem. Phys. with version 2015/04/24 7.83 Copernicus papers of the LATEX class copernicus.cls. Date: 1 March 2016 Technical Note: Development of chemoinformatic tools to enumerate functional groups in molecules for organic aerosol characterization G. Ruggeri1 and S. Takahama1 1ENAC/IIE Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland Correspondence to: Satoshi Takahama (satoshi.takahama@epfl.ch) Abstract. Functional groups (FGs) can be used as a reduced representation of organic aerosol composition in both ambient and environmental controlled chamber studies, as they retain a cer- tain chemical specificity. Furthermore, FG composition has been informative for source apportion- ment, and various models based on a group contribution framework have been developed to calcu- 5 late physicochemical properties of organic compounds. In this work, we provide a set of validated chemoinformatic patterns that correspond to: 1) a complete set of functional groups that can entirely describe the molecules comprised in the α-pinene and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene MCMv3.2 oxidation schemes, 2) FGs that are measurable by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 3) groups incorporated in the SIMPOL.1 vapor pressure estimation model, and 4) bonds necessary for the cal- 10 culation of carbon oxidation state. We also provide example applications for this set of patterns. We compare available aerosol composition reported by chemical speciation measurements and FTIR for different emission sources, and calculate the FG contribution to the O:C ratio of simulated gas phase composition generated from α-pinene photooxidation (using MCMv3.2 oxidation scheme). 1 Introduction 15 Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of inorganic salts, mineral dust, sea salt, black carbon, metals, organic compounds, and water (Seinfeld and Pandis, 2006).

The new release (KPP-1.2) of the kinetic preprocessor (KPP) contains software tools that facilitate direct and adjoint sensitivity analysis. The direct-decoupled method, built using BDF formulas, has been the method of choice for direct sensitivity studies. In this work, we extend the direct-decoupled approach to Rosenbrock stiff integration methods. The need for Jacobian derivatives prevented Rosenbrock methods to be used extensively in direct sensitivity calculations; however, the new automatic and symbolic differentiation technologies make the computation of these derivatives feasible. The direct-decoupled method is known to be efficient for computing the sensitivities of a large number ofoutput parameters with respect to a small number ofinput parameters. The adjoint modeling is presented as an efficient tool to evaluate the sensitivity of a scalar response function with respect to the initial conditions and model parameters.

  • Organic Aerosol from the Oxidation of Biogenic Organic Compounds: a Modelling Study

Magda Claeys A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in de wetenschappen: chemie in the Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry 13 October 2014 Cover design: Anita Muys (Nieuwe Mediadienst, Universiteit Antwerpen) Cover photograph: \Tall Trees in Schw¨abisch Gm¨und",Matthias Wassermann (http: //www.mawpix.com/) ISBN 9789057284649 D/2014/12.293/26 Summary Aerosols exert a strong influence on climate and air quality. The oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds leads to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), which makes up a large, but poorly quantified fraction of atmospheric aerosols. In this work, SOA formation from α- and β-pinene, two important biogenic species, is invest- igated through modelling. A detailed mechanism describing the complex gas phase chemistry of oxidation products is generated, based on theoretical results and structure activity relationships. SOA form- ation through the partitioning of oxidation products between the gas and aerosol phases is modelled with the help of estimated vapour pressures and activity coefficients. Given the large model uncertainties, validation against smog chamber experiments is essential. Extensive comparisons with available laboratory measurements show that the model is capable of predicting most SOA yields to within a factor of two for both α- and β-pinene. However, for dark ozonolysis experiments, the model largely overestimates the temperat- ure dependence of the yields and largely underestimates their values above 30 ◦C, by up to a factor of ten.

  • Knowledge Acquisition from Chemical Computation-An Initiative Transfer
    Knowledge Acquisition from Chemical Computation: An Initiative to Transfer Tacit Knowledge to Explicit Form Mr. Sunil Khilari 1 , Dr. Sachin Kadam2 12IMED Research Center, Bharti Vidyapeeth University, Pune Abstract - Knowledge derived from chemical computation is the initiative to transfer tacit knowledge to explicit form. Here in this paper researcher is identified computational problems from chemical domain to better understand existing chemical reaction approaches, actual experimental results and its corresponding efficient and effective solutions. During this process researcher contribute to this knowledge base by identifying the areas and locations where their knowledge Management is possible. Further this paper insight on development of chemical ontology and KM framework based on proposed ontology .Also this research paper focuses on software tools used to implement the novel solutions of computational problems in chemical reaction mechanism. Keyword - Knowledge Management, Tacit Knowledge, Explicit Knowledge, Chemical Ontology I. INTRODUCTION The science of computational chemistry carries many benefits to society. Chemistry helps to explain how the nature works, principally by exploring nature on the chemical molecule. Industry uses chemical reactions to make useful product. Chemical analysis is used to identify chemical properties of substances. The science of computational chemistry is unique in that it comprises the capability to generate new forms of compound by combining the elements and existing substances in new but controlled ways. The construction of new chemical compounds is the area from which knowledge generated and need to capture and preserve. Here, we explore the different types of chemical reactions, highlighting the reactions that have solution and implementation phases. So we consider computational chemistry to comprise the study of the structure, properties, and dynamics of chemical systems.
