TL;DR: This Review provides an overview of the algorithms and results that are relevant for quantum chemistry and aims to help quantum chemists who seek to learn more about quantum computing and quantum computing researchers who would like to explore applications in quantum chemistry.
Abstract: Practical challenges in simulating quantum systems on classical computers have been widely recognized in the quantum physics and quantum chemistry communities over the past century. Although many approximation methods have been introduced, the complexity of quantum mechanics remains hard to appease. The advent of quantum computation brings new pathways to navigate this challenging and complex landscape. By manipulating quantum states of matter and taking advantage of their unique features such as superposition and entanglement, quantum computers promise to efficiently deliver accurate results for many important problems in quantum chemistry, such as the electronic structure of molecules. In the past two decades, significant advances have been made in developing algorithms and physical hardware for quantum computing, heralding a revolution in simulation of quantum systems. This Review provides an overview of the algorithms and results that are relevant for quantum chemistry. The intended audience is both quantum chemists who seek to learn more about quantum computing and quantum computing researchers who would like to explore applications in quantum chemistry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the antecedents of word-of-mouth (WOM) have been investigated and the consequences of these studies have been discussed, and the authors integrate that research into a contingency model and attempt to identify researchable gaps.
Abstract: Marketing practitioners and theorists routinely cite the power of the personal referral on customer behaviour. However, relatively few companies have tried to harness the power of word of mouth (WOM). Scholars have been pondering WOM over 2400 years, although modern marketing research into WOM started only relatively recently, in the post-war 1940s. WOM can be characterized by valence, focus, timing, solicitation and degree of management intervention. Most recent WOM research has been conducted from a customer-to-customer perspective, even though WOM is found in other contexts such as influence, employee and recruitment markets. Marketing research into WOM has attempted to answer two questions. What are the antecedents of WOM? What are the consequences of WOM? This paper integrates that research into a contingency model and attempts to identify researchable gaps in our knowledge.

TL;DR: Single protein spots, from polyvinylidene difluoride blots of micropreparative E. coli 2-D gels, were rapidly and economically identified by matching their amino acid composition, estimated pI and molecular weight against all E. bacteria entries in the SWISS-PROT database.
Abstract: Separation and identification of proteins by two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis can be used for protein-based gene expression analysis In this report single protein spots, from polyvinylidene difluoride blots of micropreparative E coli 2-D gels, were rapidly and economically identified by matching their amino acid composition, estimated pI and molecular weight against all E coli entries in the SWISS-PROT database Thirty proteins from an E coli 2-D map were analyzed and identities assigned Three of the proteins were unknown By protein sequencing analysis, 20 of the 27 proteins were correctly identified Importantly, correct identifications showed unambiguous “correct” score patterns While incorrect protein identifications also showed distinctive score patterns, indicating that protein must be identified by other means These techniques allow large-scale screening of the protein complement of simple organisms, or tissues in normal and disease states The computer program described here is accessible via the World Wide Web at URL address (http://expasyhcugech/)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the non-combustion based renewable electricity generation technologies against a range of sustainability indicators and using data obtained from the literature, they found that wind power is the most sustainable, followed by hydropower, photovoltaic and then geothermal.
Abstract: The non-combustion based renewable electricity generation technologies were assessed against a range of sustainability indicators and using data obtained from the literature. The indicators used to assess each technology were price of generated electricity, greenhouse gas emissions during full life cycle of the technology, availability of renewable sources, efficiency of energy conversion, land requirements, water consumption and social impacts. The cost of electricity, greenhouse gas emissions and the efficiency of electricity generation were found to have a very wide range for each technology, mainly due to variations in technological options as well as geographical dependence of each renewable energy source. The social impacts were assessed qualitatively based on the major individual impacts discussed in literature. Renewable energy technologies were then ranked against each indicator assuming that indicators have equal importance for sustainable development. It was found that wind power is the most sustainable, followed by hydropower, photovoltaic and then geothermal. Wind power was identified with the lowest relative greenhouse gas emissions, the least water consumption demands and with the most favourable social impacts comparing to other technologies, but requires larger land and has high relative capital costs.
