Melting Point - Open Melting Point Data

Open Melting Point Data

In February 2011 Alfa Aesar released over 10,000 melting points of compounds from their catalog as Open Data. This data has been curated and is freely available for download. This data has been used to create a random forest model for melting point prediction which is now available as a free to use webservice. Highly curated and open melting point data is also available from Nature Precedings.

Famous quotes containing the words open, melting, point and/or data:

    Meanwhile Snow White held court,
    rolling her china-blue doll eyes open and shut
    and sometimes referring to her mirror
    as women do.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
    List to the heavy part the music bears,
    “Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
    Droop herbs and flowers;
    Fall grief in showers;
    “Our beauties are not ours”:
    Oh, I could still,
    Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
    Drop, drop, drop, drop,
    Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    What’s the point of fighting the dollars
    when all you need is a warm bed?
    When the dog barks you let him in.
    All we need is someone to let us in.
    And one other thing:
    to consider the lilies in the field.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.
    Grace Baruch (20th century)
