SUMMARY We implemented a software tool called GENESIS for three different genome rearrangement problems: Sorting a unichromosomal genome by weighted reversals and transpositions (SwRT), sorting a multichromosomal genome by reversals, translocations, fusions and fissions (SRTl), and sorting a multichromosomal genome by weighted reversals, translocations, fusions, fissions and transpositions (SwR...

By comparison with results of full configuration-interaction and large-scale multireference configuration-interaction calculations, it is shown that the widely used RMP2 and RMP4 methods fail to describe even qualitatively the structure and kinetic stability of theO:+ dication, an isoelectronic analogue of molecular nitrogen. A barrier todissociation of more than 200 kJ mol-’ completely disappe...

ion, Reformulation, and Approximation (SARA-2002) was held from 2 to 4 August 2002 in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. This interdisciplinary conference brought together researchers from around the world to present recent progress on, and exchange ideas about, how abstraction, reformulation, and approximation techniques can be used in areas such as automatic programming, constraint satisfaction, de...
