The Secrétariat à la législation is one of the secretariats of the Secrétariat général du Conseil exécutif. Consisting of an associate secretary general, an assistant secretary, two legislation advisors, and secretariat employees, this body assists the Comité de législation in its work. On behalf of the Comité de législation or at the request of the Secrétariat général du Conseil exécutif, the Secrétariat à la Législation analyzes the briefs and bills that must be brought to the Committee s attention. It makes sure that the work associated with the drafting of bills in government departments and agencies is carried out according to a timetable that permits the implementation of the government s legislative program. The Secretariat coordinates all of the revision work related to the bills that the government intends to propose in the National Assembly. In addition, it liaises with the National Assembly's Direction de la traduction et de l'édition des lois, which is in charge of translating and printing these bills. 1, record 1, English, - Secr%C3%A9tariat%20%C3%A0%20la%20l%C3%A9gislation

Le Secrétariat à la législation est un des secrétariats du secrétariat général du Conseil exécutif. Composé d'un secrétaire général associé, d'un secrétaire adjoint, de deux conseillers en législation et d'employées de secrétariat, il assiste le Comité de législation dans ses travaux. Le Secrétariat procède, à l'intention du Comité ou à la demande du Secrétariat général du Conseil exécutif, à l'analyse des mémoires et des projets de loi qui doivent être soumis à l'attention du Comité. Il voit à ce que les travaux d'élaboration des projets de loi, dans les ministères et organismes du gouvernement, soient exécutés selon un calendrier permettant la mise en œuvre du programme législatif du gouvernement. Il coordonne l'ensemble des travaux de révision des projets de loi que le gouvernement entend proposer à l'Assemblée nationale et assure un lien institutionnel avec la Direction de la traduction et de l'édition des lois de l'Assemblée nationale chargée de la traduction et de l'impression de ces projets. 1, record 1, French, - Secr%C3%A9tariat%20%C3%A0%20la%20l%C3%A9gislation

A basic principle in self assembly is selective stickiness : if two molecular parts have complementary shapes and charge patterns, one part has a hollow where the other part has a bump, and one part has a positive charge where the other part has a negative charge, then they will tend to stick together in one particular way. By shaking these parts around, something which thermal noise does for us quite naturally if the parts are floating in solution, the parts will eventually, purely by chance, be brought together in just the right way and combine into a bigger part. This bigger part can combine in the same way with other parts, letting us gradually build a complex whole from molecular pieces by stirring them together and shaking. 3, record 2, English, - self%2Dassembly

Historically, the idea of supramolecular interactions dates back to the famous metaphor of Emil Fischer (1894), who described a selective interaction of molecules as the lock and key principle. Today, supramolecular chemistry has by far surpassed its original focus. Molecular self-assemblies combine several features of covalent and non-covalent synthesis to make large and structurally well-defined assemblies of atoms. Single van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds are weak relative to typical covalent bonds and comparable to thermal energies. Therefore, many of these weak non-covalent interactions are necessary in order to achieve molecular stability in self-assembled aggregates. In biology, there are many complex systems of nanoscale structures such as proteins and viruses which are formed by self-assembly. Living systems sum up many weak interactions between chemical entities to make large ones. 1, record 2, English, - self%2Dassembly

Nucleophilic and electrophilic centres are brought into juxtaposition with each other to allow new covalent bonds to be formed.

Après une phase fondée sur l'emploi de méthodes dites semi-empiriques, notamment pour traiter des problèmes concernant les conformations moléculaires, on assiste depuis une dizaine d'années à un développement important des calculs dits ab initio, notablement plus perfectionnés mais aussi plus coûteux. Ces calculs permettent par exemple d'obtenir une représentation beaucoup plus perfectionnée des distributions de charges moléculaires (charge, dipôle et quadrupôle sur chaque atome et milieu de liaison, par exemple), d'où un perfectionnement correspondant dans l'évaluation des énergies d'interactions intermoléculaires. En combinant les distributions de charge de fragments moléculaires, il devient possible de représenter raisonnablement la distribution de charge de très grandes molécules. 1, record 8, French, - distribution%20de%20charge
