Crystal engineering is currently attracting much interest. Its aim is to create materials of predefined properties fulfilling the requirements imposed by the applications. There are several parameters describing crystal structures, but the most important one is probably the energy of a crystal lattice. It is the energy released by the system when crystalline solid is formed out of molecules or ions in gaseous phase. Approximate...

W rozdziale przedstawiono podstawowe Zasady Termodynamiki. Omówiono zagadnienia związane z pojęciem entropii, energii Gibbsa, egzergii oraz systemami złożonymi.

w pracy przedstawiono konstrukcję i zasadę działania modelu 1:5 boi do pozyskiwania energii fal morskich oraz wyniki badań eksperymentalnych prowadzonych w dużym basenie w Centrum techniki Okrętowej w Gdańsku.Ponadto przedstawiono numeryczny model obliczeniowy i wybrane wyniki symulacji zachowania się boi na fali regularnej.

Accurate description of the molecular complexes energetic influence is required for understanding of many biological functions carried out by proteins. Therefore, estimation of binding free energy for ligand-receptor complexes is of highest importance for structure-based ligand design and drug discovery approaches.Experimental methods of determination of difference in Gibbs'es free energy have many limitations. Thus, computational...

In drug optimization calculations, the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) method can be used to compute free energies of binding of ligands to proteins. The method involves the evaluation of the energy of configurations in an implicit solvent model. One source of errors is the force field used, which can potentially lead to large errors due to the restrictions in accuracy imposed by its empirical nature....
