163   Paths to which the nudged elastic band converges Paths to which the nudged elastic band converges    2011 A recent letter to the editor (Quapp and Bofill, J Comput Chem 2010, 31, 2526) claims that the nudged elastic band (NEB) method can converge toward gradient extremal paths and not to steepest descent paths, as has been assumed. Here, we show that the NEB does in fact converge to steepest descent paths and that the observed tendency for the NEB to approach gradient extremal paths was a consequence of implementation errors. We also note that while the NEB finds steepest descent paths, these are no... 查看全文

170   Famine Mortality in Africa Famine Mortality in Africa Stephen A. McCurdy, Steven J. Samuels, Daniel J. Carroll, James J. Beaumont and Lynne A. Morrin    2009 Summary The evidence of African famine mortality is briefly reviewed in terms of: (1) the probable biological effects of given conditions of food shortage, displacement, exposure to disease and other risks; (2) the observed effects of actual famine and food crisis on mortality. The evidence from both sources is weak, but it is possible to conclude that the large variation in mortality observed between different situations chiefly reflects the very different situations described by the word famin... 查看全文
