Codex 0 2026-11-05
RSC institutional account, January2021, Technical Briefs section. First brief appeared in2000; identifies Michael Thompson as instigator, supported by Roger Wood as committee chair. Early topics included recovery correction and analytical quality control.
Distance Restraints introduces interproton restraints and their contribution to a combined refinement objective. Choice of Averaging, nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/doc/current/xplor/node379.html , eqs.20.1–20.3, distinguishes inverse-sixth-power averages and sums for ambiguities. Square-Well Function, nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/doc/current/xplor/node384.html , specifies a flat-bottom penalty. Setup of Distance Restraints, bit.niddk.nih.gov/xplor-nih/doc/current/xplor/node389.html , identifies atom selections and numerical bounds.
Assignment ambiguity is described in nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/doc/current/xplor/node380.html , Expressing ambiguous restraints using the optional OR statement, eq.20.5. Explicit
ASSIgn ... OR ... pair lists restrict the alternatives to the specified atom pairs and force SUM averaging; the molecular-copy normalization is part of that expression.Entry H02927, DOI10.1351/goldbook.H02927. Definition: decrease in intensity, opposite to the hyperchromic effect.

IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Nomenclature report, accepted2May1996. Section2.3.1 describes constant-probability ellipsoids of a trivariate Gaussian displacement distribution and their relation to the mean-square displacement matrix; negative eigenvalues invalidate that physical ellipsoid interpretation.
Space groups and their descriptions in International Tables for Crystallography by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
VolumeA, chapter1.4, section1.4.4: Wyckoff-position descriptions and letter convention, beginning with a for maximal site-symmetry order and ending with the general position. Companion primary table onlinelibrary.wiley.com/iucr/itc/Ac/ch3o4v0001/ , Table3.4.3.3, gives P1 general position1a.
Definition, infinite orbit generated by a specified space group; following sections distinguish an orbit, conjugate site-symmetry groups and a Wyckoff position.
Definition: direct-basis dot products give the metric components; the inverse matrix supplies the reciprocal-space metric. Change of basis gives the congruence transformation of the metric.
DOI10.1351/goldbook.E02226. Definition: inverse of the calibration function. Distinguishes forward expected response from converting an observed response into an analyte estimate.
DOI10.1351/goldbook.C00778. Definition relates expected observed gross response to analyte amount; its single-analyte graphical display is the calibration curve. Original recommendation PAC67,1699(1995), p1703.
Core dictionary version2.4.5,
_atom_site_aniso_U_11, _12, _13, _22, _23 and _33, Definition: six entries of a real symmetric matrix in squared angstroms, with explicit structure-factor attenuation using reciprocal-cell lengths and Miller indices. These crystallographic components require the stated cell convention. Site symmetry and Wyckoff positions in the IUCr Online Dictionary of Crystallography by

Site symmetry, Definition: finite space-group subgroup leaving a point invariant. Companion entry dictionary.iucr.org/Wyckoff_position, Definition: points whose site-symmetry groups are conjugate subgroups of the space group; Wyckoff-letter convention.
Core dictionary version2.4.5,
_atom_site_fract_x, _atom_site_fract_y and _atom_site_fract_z, Definition: atom-site coordinates expressed as fractions of the cell lengths. The linked Cartesian coordinate items provide an alternate representation.H02923, DOI10.1351/goldbook.H02923. Increase in spectral-band intensity associated with substituents or molecular environment. Source: Glossary of terms used in photochemistry, IUPAC Recommendations1996, PAC68,2223,p.2247. The definition concerns intensity rather than wavelength shift.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
