An integrated set of tools for thermodynamic calculations in aqueous geochemistry and geobiochemistry. Functions are provided for writing balanced reactions to form species from user-selected basis species and for calculating the standard molal properties of species and reactions, including the standard Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant. Calculations of the non-equilibrium chemical affinity and equilibrium chemical activity of species can be portrayed on diagrams as a function of temperature, pressure, or activity of basis species; in two dimensions, this gives a maximum affinity or predominance diagram. The diagrams have formatted chemical formulas and axis labels, and water stability limits can be added to Eh-pH, oxygen fugacity- temperature, and other diagrams with a redox variable. The package has been developed to handle common calculations in aqueous geochemistry, such as solubility due to complexation of metal ions, mineral buffers of redox or pH, and changing the basis species across a diagram ("mosaic diagrams"). CHNOSZ also has unique capabilities for comparing the compositional and thermodynamic properties of different proteins.
Fix unexported function obigt2eos(), which was affected by "Assignment to empty subset of data.frame fails check of length of value" (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17483). The bug caused errors in R-release (3.5.2) but not R-devel, when using info() for species with the AkDi model.
Fixes to maintain compatibility with R version 3.1.0: don't use lengths(), and provide explicit colClasses to read.csv() to avoid automatic assignment of character for long numeric values.
CRAN COMPLIANCE
NEW FEATURES
Add thermo() as a convenience function to access or modify the package's data, especially various computational options.
Add retrieve() to retrieve all the species having given elements, or all species in a given chemical system. Thanks to Evgeniy Bastrakov for the suggestion.
Add AkDi() to calculate thermodynamic properties of aqueous nonelectrolytes using the Akinfiev-Diamond model. Thanks to Evgeniy Bastrakov for guidance.
THERMODYNAMIC DATA
Revert to using SiO2(aq) from SUPCRT92 (i.e. Shock et al., 1989) in the default database.
Move SiO2(aq) from Apps and Spycher, 2004 and recalculated HSiO3- to new optional data file, OBIGT/AS04.csv.
Move H2AsO3- from OBIGT/SLOP98.csv to OBIGT/SUPCRT92.csv.
Add OBIGT/AkDi.csv as optional data file for aqueous species from Akinfiev and Diamond, 2003 and Akinfiev and Plyasunov, 2014.
Add gaseous HF and HCl to as requirements for the Akinfiev-Diamond model for dissolved gases.
Move Au+3, AuCl3-2, and AuCl4-3 back into default database.
Add/replace data for Ag+ and Cu+ and their complexes from Akinfiev and Zotov, 2001 and 2010.
Update HCl(aq) with data from Tagirov et al., 1997.
Update Pd+2 and complexes with data from Tagirov et al., 2013.
Update Pt+2 and complexes with data from Tagirov et al., 2015.
Update Zn+2 and complexes with data from Akinfiev and Tagirov, 2015.
DOCUMENTATION
In demo/NaCl.R, indicate region not considered by Shock et al., 1992 in developing the "g function" applicable to electrolytes in the revised HKF model, and note presence of resulting discontinuities (see man/examples.Rd).
Add demo/AkDi.R showing calculations of Henry's constant of dissolved gases, after Figure 1 of Akinfiev and Diamond, 2003.
OTHER CHANGES
In describe.reaction(), change equals sign to reaction double arrow.
water() and water.SUPCRT92(): add 'P1' argument to choose whether to output 1 bar for Psat at temperatures less than 100 degrees C (default is TRUE).
diagram(): 'xlim' and 'ylim' arguments now apply to 2-variable diagrams. Thanks to Evgeniy Bastrakov for the suggestion.
BUG FIXES
Fix bug in nonideal() where "Zn" in formula was identified as charge. Thanks to Feng Lai for the bug report.
Fix a bug where subcrt()$reaction$coeffs was incorrect for reactions involving minerals with phase transitions. Also ensure that the output reaction stoichiometry is correct for duplicated species in reactions. Thanks to Grayson Boyer for the bug report.
For species in the revised HKF model, subcrt() now sets properties to NA where the density of H2O is less than 0.35 g/cm3, avoiding the output of bogus values in this region. Thanks to Evgeniy Bastrakov.
For systems where no basis species is present in all formation reactions, and the user hasn't provided balance coefficients, stop with an error instead of setting the balance cofficients to 1. Thanks to Shuang Kong for an example calculation and Tucker Ely for a previous suggestion to produce an error here. The affected code is in balance(), an unexported function used in equilibrate() and diagram() (and now also solubility()).
NEW FEATURE: SOLUBILITY CALCULATIONS
Add solubility(). Run this after affinity() to calculate the solubility of a solid or gas defined as the conserved basis species, which is involved in the formation of one or more dissolved species.
Features include automatic detection of dissociation reactions and finding the final ionic strength for dissolution of a mineral into pure water (find.IS argument).
find.IS depends on the new argument recall feature of affinity() (or mosaic() if that is used instead). This allows a calculation to be re-run with the same settings except for particular additions or modifications, in this case modified values of ionic strength.
Revise demo/solubility.R to show solubility calculations for CO2(gas) and calcite as a function of T and pH.
NEW FEATURE: EXPANDED ACTIVITY COEFFICIENT CALCULATIONS
Reorganize and expand options for activity coefficient calculations (set in thermo$opt$nonideal: Bdot, Bdot0, bgamma, bgamma0, or Alberty). The previous default, which corresponds to 'bgamma' (T- and P-dependent extended term parameter with single ion-size parameter), has been replaced by 'Bdot' (T-dependent extended term parameter and species-dependent ion-size parameter; see below).
nonideal() with the 'Bdot' or 'Bdot0' equation uses specific ion-size parameters for different ions, in accord with the HCh package (Shvarov and Bastrakov, 1999). Parameters are from Table 2.7 of Garrels and Christ, 1965.
nonideal() now calulates activity coefficients of neutral species, using the Setchénow equation. Whether the extended-term parameter in this equation is taken to be zero or is taken from the value for charged species (see above) is controlled by setting 'thermo$opt$Setchenow' to bgamma0 (default) or bgamma.
Add NaCl(), implementing a first-order calculation of the speciation of NaCl in water, taking account of activity coefficients and the reaction Na+ + Cl- = NaCl(aq).
OTHER NEW FEATURES
Add dumpdata() for returning/writing all packaged thermodynamic data (including default database and optional data files). The file is also available on the website (chnosz.net/download/alldata.csv).
mosaic() has been rewritten to handle more than two changing groups of basis species.
mosaic() gets a new argument 'mixing' (default TRUE), indicating whether the Gibbs energy of ideal mixing should be included in the calculations with blend = TRUE. As a test of this change, an example using mosaic() to calculate the pH-dependent solubility of calcite has been added to solubility.Rd.
DOCUMENTATION
Add demo/gold.R for calculations of Au solubility in hydrothermal chloride and sulfide solutions (based on diagrams from Akinfiev and Zotov, 2001, Stefánsson and Seward, 2004, and Williams-Jones et al., 2009). This depends on the revised nonideal() and new NaCl() functions described above.
anintro.Rmd: add section on solubility calculations. Add cuprite to mosaic diagram example, and note about implications of changing balance coefficients to 1. Add 'mklinks.sh' script for adding links to CHNOSZ and R documentation.
Add demo/bison.R (average oxidation state of carbon of metagenome- derived proteins in different microbial phyla at Bison Pool)
demo/saturation.R replaces the previous activity_ratios.R, and includes not only activity ratios on the axes but also saturation limits for calcite, dolomite, magnesite, and brucite in the H2O-CO2-CaO-MgO-SiO2 system.
Add demo/glycinate.R showing logK of complexation of glycinate with divalent and monovalent metals.
Remove vignette wjd.Rnw (Winding journey down in Gibbs energy).
THERMODYNAMIC DATA
The Berman data (Berman, 1988 and later additions) have replaced the SUPCRT92 data (based on Helgeson et al., 1978) for most minerals in the default database (i.e. the one loaded by data(thermo)). Only native elements, sulfides, halides, sulfates, and selected carbonates and oxides from SUPCRT92 that do not duplicate any in the Berman dataset are loaded by default.
The superseded SUPCRT92 minerals (primarily the silicates and Al-bearing minerals, as well as calcite, dolomite, hematite, and magnetite) are in the file extdata/OBIGT/SUPCRT92.csv, which can be loaded with add.obigt("SUPCRT92"). This is used in some examples for comparing the datasets (see ?berman and demo("go-IU")), but should not be needed by most users.
In thermo$obigt, the minerals using the Berman equations are identified as those having NA values for all thermodynamic properties (columns 8-20). These minerals have the state of "cr" (not "cr_Berman" as before).
The heat capacity equation in berman() has been expanded to Cp = k0 + k1T-1/2 + k2T-2 + k3T-3 + k4T-1 + k5T + k6T2 (as used in winTWQ).
Multipliers on values in the Berman data files (extdata/Berman/*.csv) have been removed, except for 10^5, 10^5, 10^5, and 10^8 on v1 to v4, to be consistent with the winTWQ data format.
berman() now reads data from a user-supplied file specified in thermo$opt$Berman.
Add mineral data from Berman and Aranovich, 1996 to extdata/Berman/testing and an example of loading these data via add.obigt() and thermo$opt$Berman (see ?berman).
Correct swapped v1 <-> v3 and v2 <-> v4 in extdata/Berman/DS10.csv.
To reduce confusion that "d5" might be a coefficient in the same equation as d0 .. d4, rename "d5" (constant that scales disordering enthalpy to volume) to "Vad" (notation used in Theriak-Domino manual).
Change abbreviation of grossular to Grs.
Make names for dicarboxylic acid anions from Shock, 1995 (in organic_aq.csv) consistent with those used in later papers, e.g. H-succinate and succinate-2 for the -1 and -2 charged ions. Remove duplicated entries for H-succinate and succinate-2 from biotic_aq.csv.
Update G, H, and S of celestite using properties of the dissolution reaction given by Reardon and Armstrong, 1987.
Add scheelite (CaWO4) and ferberite (FeWO4) using data adopted by Wood and Samson, 2000.
Update aqueous Au species with data from Akinfiev and Zotov, 2001 and 2010, and Pokrovski et al., 2014.
Move SUPCRTBL updates (As and Al minerals and aqueous species and SiO2(aq)) into default database.
Values for SiO2(aq) are taken from Apps and Spycher, 2004. Thanks to John Apps for providing the document.
Recalculate GHS for HSiO3- by adding difference from SiO2(aq) (Sverjensky et al., 1997) to updated values for SiO2(aq).
Add test-recalculate.R to check that recalculated values are correctly entered in OBIGT.
Move superseded data for aqueous Au, As, and Al species, SiO2 and HSiO3- to OBIGT/SLOP98.csv.
Add or update glycine, diglycine, and triglycine (zwitterions and ions), and diketopiperazine, [Gly] and [UPBB] groups from Kitadai, 2014.
Add data for metal-glycinate complexes from Azadi et al., 2019, superseding Shock and Koretsky, 1995.
For reproducing previous calculations, superseded data for [Gly] and [UPBB], as well as Met, and metal-glycinate complexes have been moved to OBIGT/OldAA.csv.
DIAGRAMS
Lines in 1-D diagram()s can optionally be drawn as splines using the method for splinefun() given in the 'spline.method' argument (the default of NULL means no splines).
Add 'srt' argument to diagram() (rotation of line labels).
Export thermo.axis(), as it is useful for adding major and minor tick marks after (above) other plot elements such as legends.
diagram(): rename 'what' argument to 'type'.
diagram(): add new type of diagram, 'saturation', which is used to plot saturation lines for minerals (where their affinity equals zero).
thermo.plot.new() and, by extension, diagram(), now "listen" to the setting of par("mar"). However, if a new plot is being made, or the device has the default setting of mar from par(), mar is (re)set to the default value in thermo.plot.new().
diagram(): numeric 'names' now indicates subset of species names to include as labels on the plot.
diagram(): new argument 'family' to select the font family for species names (labels on the plot). New arguments 'bold' and 'italic' apply to formatted names (e.g. chemical formulas), and 'font' applies to those without formatting.
'lines' is added to the return list of diagram(), giving the coordinates of lines (field boundaries) on 2-D diagrams (these are taken from the output of contourLines()).
COMPUTATIONAL OPTIONS
Add 'exceed.rhomin' argument to subcrt() and affinity() to enable output of properties for species in the revised HKF model below 0.35 g/cm3.
In equilibrate(), accept a length > 1 'normalize' argument to normalize the chemical formulas of only the selected species.
Add thermo$opt$maxcores (default 2) to specify maximum number of cores for parallel calculations with palply().
Keywords in basis(): Change 'CHNOPS+' to use O2 instead of e-, and add 'CHNOPSe' and 'MgCHNOPSe' for sets of basis species that have e-.
Add 'keep.duplicates' argument to thermo.refs(). Set it to TRUE to output a single primary reference for each species, keeping any duplicated references (but not including any secondary references in thermo$obigt$ref2). Thanks to Evgeniy Bastrakov for the suggestion.
USABILITY ENHANCEMENTS
To provide better diagnostics for other apps using CHNOSZ, warning messages produced by subcrt() are now available in the output of affinity(), under 'sout$warnings'.
Change internal variable names in subcrt() for better readability (sinfo -> ispecies, inpho -> iphases, sinph -> phasespecies).
info(): display mineral names instead of just "cr" in messages (e.g. for info("SiO2")).
info(): species with no matches in default database are also searched in optional data files.
Add C implementation of counting occurrences of all letters in a string (src/count_letters.c) to speed up operation of count.aa().
read.fasta(): add support for file connections created using archive::archive_read (https://github.com/jimhester/archive).
The arguments in expr.species() have been reorganized for more flexible and concise usage.
Reduce message clutter for diagrams showing water stability limits.
In subcrt(), improve error message for invalid property names.
In affinity(), make invalid variable names an error.
Add 'return.sout' argument to affinity(), to return just the values calculated with subcrt().
MAJOR CHANGES:
Add berman() function and extdata/Berman/*.csv files for calculating thermodynamic properties of minerals using equations of Berman, 1988.
Calculations related to Berman's (1988) Figs. 1 and 2 for the lambda transition of quartz are available in the new demo lambda.R.
Add functions implementing the Deep Earth Water (DEW) model (Sverjensky et al., 2014): water.DEW() and its supporting functions calculateDensity(), calculateGibbsofWater(), calculateEpsilon(), calculateQ().
The computational setting for water (thermo$opt$water) can now be set using water("DEW"), water("IAPWS"), etc.
Usage of the DEW model is shown in the new demo DEW.R. This demo also depends on the Berman equations (above) and, for the last diagram in the demo, the following four NEWS items:
In equilibrate(), it is now possible to combine affinity calculations with variable activity of the balancing basis species (loga.balance). For example, in the last plot of the DEW demo, the calculation involves simultaneously varying temperature and logfO2 (given as arguments to affinity()) as well as total concentration of carbon (given by the loga.balance argument in equilibrate()).
COMPUTATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS:
The 'alpha' argument of diagram() can be set to 'balance' to scale the values by the balancing component. This is useful for making "percent carbon" plots for systems where the species have different carbon numbers.
nonideal() now has three methods for calculating activity coefficients: 'Helgeson' and 'Helgeson0', which utilize the Debye-Huckel equation with parameters as described by Helgeson, 1969, and 'Alberty' (the only method previously available). The 'Helgeson' method depends on the following two NEWS items (but the 'Helgeson0' method omits the B-dot term):
All three water options (SUPCRT92, IAPWS95, DEW) can be used to calculate 'A_DH' and 'B_DH', i.e. A and B coefficients in the extended Debye-Huckel equation as described by Helgeson, 1969.
Add Bdot() to calculate the "B-dot" (or b_gamma) extended term parameter for activity coefficients in NaCl solutions at high temperature and pressure (Helgeson et al., 1981), including very high pressures (> 10 kbar) based on extrapolations from Manning et al., 2013.
For minerals with phase transitions (states 'cr2' 'cr3' etc.) in thermo$obigt (i.e. the Helgeson minerals), it is now possible to use the minerals in basis(), species(), affinity() with proper accounting for transition effects. Just set the state to 'cr' or omit it, e.g. species("quartz").
Implement SUPCRT92's handling of variable volume for quartz and coesite. Calculations for other minerals still assume constant volume of each phase.
Calculations of the g function are now enabled for DEW (with pressure derivative) and IAPWS-95 (no derivatives included).
water.lines() now works for diagrams of Eh, pe, logfO2, logaO2, logfH2, or logaH2 vs pH, T, or P. It is possible to have T or P on either the x- or y-axis.
Variables that are in the aguments to affinity() now override any buffers previously specified using basis().
DATABASE UPDATES:
Add data(OBIGT) command to reset only the thermodynamic database (OBIGT) to its default. data(thermo) is still used to reset everything (the database and all computational and system settings).
In add.obigt(), using 'file' without a file suffix now can be used to locate corresponding files (such as DEW_aq.csv or SUPCRTBL.csv) in the extdata/OBIGT package directory.
add.obigt() gets new argument 'species' for selecting species to add.
Add Berman_cr.csv with names and formulas for minerals whose thermodynamic properties are calculated using the Berman, 1988 equations. The state "cr_Berman" is used to distinguish these minerals from the Helgeson data. The parameters themselves are stored in extdata/Berman/*.csv.
Add DEW_aq.csv with aqueous species data from the DEW spreadsheet (May 2017 version). Species with data that do not differ from the default database in CHNOSZ are not included. Currently, detailed reference keys and descriptions (in thermo$refs) are given for selected species only. [Optional Data; not loaded by data(thermo)]
Add SUPCRTBL.csv with mineral and aqueous species data compiled by Zimmer et al., 2016. Data were taken from original references or from spronsbl.dat (http://www.indiana.edu/~hydrogeo/supcrtbl.html). The new demo/go-IU.R uses these data. [Optional Data]
Update HKF parameters of adenine based on experimental heat capacity and volume data (Lowe et al., 2017). Add demo/adenine.R comparing the updates with the previous data (LaRowe and Helgeson, 2006).
Remove H2O(gas) from the database (taken from SUPCRT92), as it gives inconsistent results for metastable steam (Zavarin et al., 2016, LLNL-TR-701407, doi: 10.2172/1325873).
Change the formula of the electron from "Z0-1" (parsed as "zero Z with minus one charge") to the equivalent but nicer-to-read "(Z-1)" (parsed as "minus one Z"; the parentheses cause "-1" to be interpreted as the coefficient on Z instead of the charge in the formula).
Add data for hedenbergite, andradite, ferro-actinolite, grunerite, and ilvaite from Delgado Martin and Soler i Gil, 2010 (using the Berman equations).
OTHER CHANGES:
Add test-logmolality.R to demonstrate transformation of variables from activity to molality in the main workflow; refer to this test and describe these transformations in anintro.Rmd; remove "experimental" labeling of activity coefficient calculations in CHNOSZ-package.Rd.
Add 'use.molality' argument to axis.label() and supporting functions. So that the labels on diagrams are changed from activity (a) to molality (m), this argument is set to TRUE by diagram() when IS is supplied as an argument to affinity().
Add demo TCA.R for standard Gibbs energies of steps of the citric acid cycle (Canovas and Shock, 2016).
Components of subcrt() output indicating the stable polymorph of minerals with phase transitions are now named 'polymorph', not 'state'.
Add maxdiff() and expect_maxdiff() for calculating and testing the maximum absolute pairwise difference between two objects. expect_maxdiff() is used in tests/testthat/*.R as a more straightforward alternative for checking differences than using 'tolerance' in expect_equal().
Add 'tol' argument to equil.reaction() (convergence tolerance for uniroot()).
Add thermo$opt$Berman to signal info(), subcrt(), etc. to prefer minerals in Berman dataset over Helgeson dataset (default: FALSE).
REFACTORING AND CLEANUP:
In hkf() and cgl(), combine 'ghs' and 'eos' arguments into single argument named 'parameters'.
Remove 'H2O.PrTr' and 'domega' arguments from hkf(). Properties of water at Pr and Tr and the logic for when to find derivatives of omega are now calculated within the function, thereby simplifying the function call from subcrt().
Add 'H2O.props' argument to hkf(). This lists the properties of water to calculate (at P, T); these are now included in the results, in order to avoid duplicating the calculations in subcrt().
In water.* functions, rename the "diel" variable to "epsilon".
To save space, taxid_names.csv has been trimmed to hold only those taxids listed in extdata/bison/gi.taxid.txt.
Remove Eco.csv.xz and rename more.aa() to yeast.aa().
Remove transfer() and associated functions draw.transfer(), apc(), and feldspar().
Remove read.expr() and extdata/abundance/ISR+08.csv (protein abundance in E. coli).
Reduce the size of obigt.html by ~450 KB. This was done by 1) using rmarkdown with files in rmd/h/bootstrap-3.3.5/fonts/ replaced with empty files (291 KB), and 2) changing the theme from "cosmo" to "default" (151 KB).
Remove extdata/OBIGT/CHNOSZ_aq.csv and move the entry for pseudo-H4SiO4 to inorganic_aq.csv.
Reorganize concept index entries in Rd files: Main workflow, Extended workflow, Thermodynamic data, Thermodynamic calculations, Water properties, Protein properties, Other tools, Utility functions.
Remove anim.TCA() and anim.carboxylase(); move the latter code to demo/carboxylase.R.
DOCUMENTATION:
Replace anintro.Rnw (Sweave) with rewritten anintro.Rmd (using knitr with Tufte style).
Add obigt.Rmd (Thermodynamic data in CHNOSZ).
Add eos-regress.Rmd (Regressing thermodynamic data), including section on Making a pseudospecies: H4SiO4.
New demos: bugstab.R (potential diagrams for microbial proteins in colorectal cancer), activity_ratios.R (mineral stability diagrams with activity ratios on the axes), Shh.R (affinities of transcription factors relative to Sonic hedgehog).
Converted demos: move examples from help pages to protein.equil.R, add.obigt.R, and affinity.R.
Updated and removed demos: update buffer.R (logfH2 set by mineral buffers and aqueous species) and rename old buffer.R to protbuff.R (proteins as buffers); remove nucleobase.R.
NAMESPACE:
The NAMESPACE now exports selected functions, instead of all of them.
The following functions are no longer exported, nor documented in the Rd files: thermo.axis, optimal.index, extremes, caller.name, lsub, lsum, pprod, energy, energy.args, A.ionization, can.be.numeric, s2c, c2s, eos.args, TP.args, state.args, info.approx, info.character, info.text, info.numeric, count.charge, count.formulas, buffer, mod.basis, put.basis, preset.basis, preset.logact, species.basis, envert, outvert, which.balance, gfun, IAPWS95.residual, IAPWS95.idealgas, obigt2eos, group.formulas, get.formula, get.objfun, balance.
CHANGES TO diagram():
For the groups argument, activities are multiplied by the balance
coefficients before the summation.
Draw smoother boundary lines (with contour(); lty is usable), at the
expense of not being precisely aligned with the grid used for plotting
colors. For the old behavior, use dotted=0.
Default of legend.x changed to NA (instead of making a legend, put
labels near the lines).
Field labels: apply formatting (subscripts and superscripts) to names
that parse as chemical formulas; use format.names=FALSE to disable.
Chemical formulas that are part of the axis labels (log activity or fugacity) now have formatting applied.
Add arguments adj and dy for x-alignment and y-offset of line
labels.
Add arguments fill.NA (color of empty areas) and limit.water
(assign NA to areas beyond water stability limits on Eh-pH and pe-pH
diagrams).
NEW FEATURES:
Add ZC.col() for generating a red-grey-blue color scale from numeric values.
Add "QEC" as a keyword for preset species in basis() (glutamine, glutamic acid, cysteine, H2O, O2).
More flexible parsing of chemical formulas for ZC() and other
functions; e.g. ZC(colMeans(protein.formula(1:4))) now works.
read.fasta() extracts information from UniProt FASTA headers (accession, name, organism) into columns of the output data frame (protein, abbrv, organism).
Add ... argument to thermo.plot.new() (additional arguments for
par()).
With new default arguments, thermo.axis() only plots the axis tick marks and lines; this is used in diagram() to redraw the axes on filled diagrams.
seq2aa() removes newlines and whitespace before counting the letters in the sequence.
read.fasta(): change argument i to iseq; this is used to select
particular sequences to read from the file.
Add syslab() and ratlab() to make formatted expressions for sets of thermodynamic components and activity ratios.
Add GHS_Tr() to calculate G, H, and S at Tr (298.15 K) of phases stable at high temperature, using provided enthalpies of transition and database values of transition temperatures and heat capacity parameters, and GHS at Tr of the low-temperature phase.
Add extdata/supcrt/ directory with files read.supcrt.R, compare.R, newnames.csv; used to compare data in SUPCRT and slop files (http://geopig.asu.edu/?q=tools) to data in thermo$obigt.
NEW AND OLD DATA:
Split OBIGT.csv and OBIGT-2.csv into multiple files according to type of substance (inorganic, organic, or biotic). All files are now under extdata/OBIGT/. Conflicting data from OBIGT-2.csv were removed (see below).
Citations in OBIGT now have a suffix (e.g. [S92] or [S98]) if the data were first present in sprons92.dat from SUPCRT, slop98.dat, or later versions of the slop data files (http://geopig.asu.edu/?q=tools).
biotic_aq.csv: Add data for citric acid cycle metabolites from Canovas and Shock, 2016.
CHNOSZ_aq.csv: Add H4SiO4 pseudospecies (pseudo-H4SiO4); see calculations in eos-regress.Rmd.
organic_aq.csv: Add data for aqueous phenanthrene and methylphenanthrene from Dick et al., 2013.
Remove superseded data previously in OBIGT-2.csv: citric acid cycle metabolites from Dalla-Betta and Schulte, 2009.
Remove superseded data previously in OBIGT-2.csv: methionine and [Met]
from Dick et al., 2006. Examples that require the old group additivity
parameters can modify the database using:
mod.obigt("[Met]", G=-35245, H=-59310).
Move two datasets that conflict with the primary database, but are used in tests, examples, or vignettes, from OBIGT-2.csv to extdata/thermo (Ste01.csv and BZA10.csv).
Remove other conflicting datasets (i.e. that provide different data for a species already in the database) previously listed in OBIGT-2.csv (21 sources).
Replace GHS for iron (c2, c3) calculated in CHNOSZ with values derived from sprons92.dat.
Replace data for sulfur (cr) from Gurrieri, 1996, personal communication with that "as used by" McCollom and Shock, 1997 (from slop98.dat).
Update selected nonelectrolytes with data from Plyasunov and Shock, 2001, as listed in slop07.dat (http://geopig.asu.edu/?q=tools).
extdata: Add fasta/rubisco.fasta and cpetc/*.csv files SS98_Fig5a, SS98_Fig5b, PM90 (all used in anintro.Rmd).
BUG FIXES:
Correct charge (-2) of NAD(red)-2 in biotic_aq.csv. Thanks to Peter Canovas.
Correct charge (-2) of MgATP-2.
subcrt() returns loggam using the common logarithm; add
test-nonideal.R to check for consistency between loggam and logK
values returned by subcrt(). This also fixes the issue previously
noted for the first example in ?nonideal. Thanks to David T. Wang for
the bug report and test.
NaN values from equilibrate() are now preserved by diagram(), producing empty (NA) fields rather than being mistakenly labeled with the first species. Thanks to Grayson Boyer for the bug report.
OTHER CHANGES:
Remove msgout(), and replace previous calls to that function with message() from base R. As a result, the messages don't appear in Sweave vignettes, but can be turned on or off in knitr vignettes.
Remove HTCC1062.faa.xz.
Remove the bold formatting for "A" in expr.property(); "A" is italicized like most other uppercase letters.
Rename browse.refs() to thermo.refs(); remove URL browsing (except for summary table).
New function pinfo() merges functionality of old iprotein() and
ip2aa(). Add regexp argument to control whether matches are made
using a regular expression.
Rename aa2eos() to protein.obigt().
Remove anim.plasma() and AA03.csv.
Remove stress() and stress.csv; move data from Tai et al., 2005 (used in an example in ?read.expr) to TBD+05.csv.
Remove read.aa() - replaced by read.csv() with as.is=TRUE.
Remove grep.file().
Remove sideeffects.Rd (functions with side effects are now identified with red color in anintro.Rmd).
Add gypsum to OBIGT.csv.
Add MgSO4 and hydrated Mg sulfate minerals to OBIGT-2.csv (kieserite, starkeyite, hexahydrite and epsomite from Grevel and Majzlan, 2009).
Add demo dehydration.R. This demo requires the RSVGTipsDevice package, which is currently unavailable on Windows.
Add ... argument to EOSvar() and EOSregress(). Allows specifying new variables that are written as a function of arbitrary properties (regression variables still must be a function of at least T and P).
EOSvar() now returns the negative of the 'QBorn' variable so that values of omega obtained from regressions of volume data have the correct sign in the HKF equations.
Use given/family naming scheme in inst/CITATION.
makeup() now works even if 'thermo' object is not available (useful for other packages importing this function). Thanks to Nir Shahaf for the suggestion.
So that byte-compiled package code works, subcrt() no longer uses caller.name() for flow control. In its place, a new argument 'check.Ttr' has been added, used to bypass the checks of transition temperature in calls from dPdTtr(). Thanks to Tomas Kalibera for the suggestion.
Add functions usrfig() (get figure limits in user coordinates) and label.figure() (add label to figure outside of plot region).
Add demo copper.R (complexation of copper with glycine, uses mosaic()).
Using new supporting function ibasis(), swap.basis() and mosaic() now allow basis species to be specified by name, not only formula.
diagram() now has '...' argument to pass additional options to plot() (useful with diagram(tplot=FALSE, ...)).
Update vignette 'equilibrium.Rnw' with better definitions of concepts, organization of functions, and examples and applications. Now uses knitr.
Remove demo diagram.R (concepts better shown in equilibrium.Rnw).
Rename basis.matrix() to basis.elements().
Argument of species.basis() defaults to current species indices. ( species.basis() %*% basis.elements() returns elemental composition of currently defined species.)
Move demos phosphate.R and nonideal.R to help page nonideal.Rd.
Add options to thermo$opt: 'ideal.H' and 'ideal.e'. Default TRUE tells nonideal() to set activity coefficients of proton and electron to zero.
Add 'method' argument to equilibrate() (can be 'reaction' or 'boltzmann').
For compatibility with a change in R-devel ("aperm(a, *) now preserves names(dim(a))"), modify slice.affinity() to preserve names of dimensions, and use check.attributes=FALSE or check.names=FALSE in some tests.
Rewrite rho.IAPWS95() to be able to invert density from IAPWS-95 equations for a more extensive range of T,P values.
Update R dependency to R-3.1.0, needed for 'extendInt' argument of uniroot() (used by rho.IAPWS95()).
Add demo/density.R to show density of H2O calculated using rho.IAPWS95() (optionally using water.SUPCRT92()).
Remove the relatively trivial demo/cordierite.R.
Update wrapper function for parallel calculations palply() (export of variables, used in demo/density.R) and add tests in test-util.program.R.
Tests that initiate calls to palply() (and therefore makeCluster()) failed with 'cannot open file 'startup.Rs': No such file or directory' Fixed by adding Sys.setenv("R_TESTS" = "") to test-all.R. Issue discussed here: https://github.com/hadley/testthat/issues/129 https://github.com/hadley/testthat/issues/144
Fix bugs in which.pmax() that prevented proper assignment of attributes in output, and functionality for lists of length 1.
mosaic() now multiplies affinities by relative abundances of basis species when blend=TRUE. Also, fix bug where using blend=TRUE gave wrong results due to incorrect calculation of total activity of basis species. Thanks to Grayson Boyer for the bug reports.
Add grDevices, graphics, stats, utils to Imports: in DESCRIPTION, and add specific importsFrom lines in NAMESPACE.
Fix incorrect entry for entropy of aqueous methionine and [Met] in OBIGT.csv. Thanks to Apar Prasad for reporting this.
Some fixes for compatibility with new version of testthat (increase tolerance for one test in test-eos.R because of corrected alignment actual/expected values in equals(); move inst/tests to inst/test/testthat; use test_check instead of test_package in test-all.R (for R CMD check)).
Following "Writing R Extensions", remove uncommented \donttest{} code from Rd files. Some examples have had \donttest{} markup removed without other modification, some non-representative examples have been deleted, and some longer examples have been moved to demo files.
Some previous \donttest{} examples have been moved to demos 'findit.R' (replaces old demo), and to new demos 'revisit.R', 'ionize.R', 'buffer.R', 'wjd.R', 'yeastgfp.R', 'diagram.R'.
Rd files now use standard R \keyword{}s ('package' and 'utilities'); non-standard keywords have been changed to \concept{}s (see CHECKLIST for description, and CHNOSZ-package.Rd for overview).
NEW FEATURES:
Add mosaic() function for affinity calculations with changing basis species. See also new 'mosaic.R' demo.
Add thermo$opt$varP option for subcrt() to calculate Gibbs energies of gases using a variable-pressure standard state. Thanks to Kirt Robinson for the submitting the problem that led to this change.
Add 'solubility.R' demo, and add calcite solubility plot to anintro.Rnw.
DATA CONSISTENCY:
Move aqueous Ti(OH)4 and H4SiO4 to OBIGT-2.csv.
Add warning about data consistency and use of examples to CHNOSZ-package.Rd and anintro.Rnw.
OTHER CHANGES:
When making filled color diagrams, diagram() calls image() with useRaster=TRUE. This speeds up plotting, eliminates artifacts (i.e. blank lines) at some resolutions, and greatly reduces the size of PDF files.
diagram() returns 'lx', 'ly' and 'is' for calculated positions of labels and indices of those species in predominance diagrams, including when the labels aren't plotted (by setting names=FALSE).
In energy(), add missing 'IS' argument in call to subcrt(). Thanks to Grayson Boyer for the bug report.
In nonideal(), skip proton and electron. Add test for calculations at constant and variable IS to test-util.affinity.R.
Modify hotspring.Rnw to use knitr, and add example calculations of relative abundances of microbial phyla from Dick and Shock, 2013.
Add files with average amino acid compositions of proteins from Bison Pool hot spring grouped according to annotation keyword (DS11.csv) (moved here from protein.csv) or phylum assignment (DS13.csv).
water.lines() gets 'O2state' argument to specify state of O2.
Add 'as.residue' argument to diagram(), to divide reactions by balance coefficients without rescaling to whole species formulas (cf. 'normalize' argument which uses rescaling).
In equilibrate(), change name of 'stay.normal' argument to 'as.residue'.
In test-diagram.R, test that same diagrams are produced using 'normalize' in equilibrate() or diagram().
In test-diagram.R, test that same diagrams are produced using 'as.residue' in equilibrate() or diagram().
Add 'tplot' argument to diagram() (change to FALSE to use R's default plot set-up).
R version dependency changed to (>= 3.0.0).
Updated extdata/protein/Sce.csv.xz using Saccharomyces Genome Database protein_properties.tab and SGD_features.tab dated 2013-08-24.
more.aa() includes SGDID and gene name in the abbrv and ref columns.
In extdata/refseq, scripts and data files were updated for NCBI Reference Sequence (RefSeq) release 61 (2013-09-09). Code was adapted to deal with WP multispecies accessions.
read.fasta() gets new argument 'id'; when supplied, it is used for the protein names in the output, in place of those read from the FASTA headers.
When reading protein names from the FASTA headers, read.fasta() stops only at the first space, not space or underscore as before.
info() no longer specially sets state of "O2" to gas. The name "oxygen", or the combination ("O2", "gas"), can be used to retrieve data for the gas.
In thermo$obigt, names of gases (e.g. "oxygen") are used only for the gaseous species; names were removed from dissolved species in rows 63-79. Both gases and aqueous species can continue to be referenced by their chemical formulas.
In read.expr(), allow multiple filter specifications.
revisit() has new argument loga0, a single vector of base-10 logarithms of activities of species used to calculate the base-2 log ratio ( log2(a1/a0) ).
Updated tests to be compatible with testthat version 0.8 (in development). Some tests now check for e.g. an error and warning produced by a single function call.
Allow IAPWS-95 calculations to be used in subcrt(): in water.IAPWS95(), rename internal function from 'epsilon' to 'diel'; in water(), return upper-case versions of names of properties.
rho.IAPWS95() has modified search interval to give results at T < 250 K and P < 300 bar. Thanks to Marc Neveu.
In water.AW90(), analytical solution to polynomial equation is now used to calculate dielectric constant. Thanks to Marc Neveu.
count.aa() and read.fasta() handle DNA sequences, with new argument 'type' (protein or DNA).
nucleicacids() split into nucleic.formula() and nucleic.complement().
MAJOR USER-VISIBLE CHANGE:
OTHER CHANGES:
Fix calculation of free energy derivative in wjd().
Add 'stay.normal' argument to equilibrate().
If obigt$G is available, hkf() returns this value, not NA, at Tr, Pr.
mod.obigt() defaults to taking chemical formula from the species name, and checks for validity of formula.
Add example for LYSC_CHICK to protein.info.Rd.
Enable DGtr in findit(), 1-D DGtr plot in revisit().
Disable a check in valTP function of H2O92D.f to allow properties of H2O to be calculated below 0.01 degrees C, to -20 degrees C.
Remove thermo$water and thermo$water2 storage of previous results; they gave no significant speed gain in running examples.
Split IAPWS95.Rd out of water.Rd.
expr.* functions now do not wrap their values in as.expression() (makes compounding expressions, e.g. with substitute(), easier).
Rename dl.aa() to uniprot.aa().
Add start and stop arguments to count.aa(), read.fasta(), uniprot.aa().
add.protein() replaces amino acid compositions for existing proteins with the same name.
Examples of calculation of affinity of formation of CSG_METVO (following Dick and Shock, 2011) added to protein.info.Rd.
Use consistent names for water properties (Speed, diel, QBorn, ...).
Add water.props() to get names of properties of water.
Remove 'isat' argument from water.SUPCRT92(); function now accepts 'Psat' as value for 'P' argument.
Separate rho.IAPWS95() from water.IAPWS95().
In addition to the original regression variables, EOSvar() recognizes names for available properties in water(), or can use the name to get a user-defined function of temperature and pressure.
Simplify EOSplot() somewhat (don't group data by pressure ranges).
EOSlab() gets label from attribute (if present) of user-defined function.
Modify test-util.data.R and wjd.Rd to pass R CMD check using R configured with --disable-long-double .
The name of the environment affected by data(thermo), and used in many functions, is changed from CHNOSZ:thermo to CHNOSZ.
Remove read.supcrt() and write.supcrt().
guess() now defaults to "stoich" method, not "central". (Needed since limSolve package is not found during R-Forge checks on Windows.)
MAJOR CHANGES:
Split the functionality of diagram() into equilibrate() and diagram(). Old workflow: a <- affinity(); d <- diagram(a) . New workflow: a <- affinity(); e <- equilibrate(a); d <- diagram(e) . Old workflow is still usable for plotting the values of affinity, or for making predominance diagrams using the maximum affinity method.
The 'thermo' object, which holds the thermodynamic database, and system definitions (made by the user), is now placed in an environment named 'CHNOSZ:thermo' on loading the package. Therefore, instances of '<<-' in the code now refer to this environment instead of the global environment.
Create a set of tests in 'inst/tests', particularly for functions that have been modified during this development cycle, and add a Suggests dependency on 'testthat'.
Move the code for the temperature and pressure derivatives of the "g" function (related to the solvation parameter omega) to a new function gfun(); incorporate some fixes and a series of test_that() tests. There is some impact on the calculated Gibbs energies of charged species.
NEW FUNCTIONS:
Add wjd() implementing the steepest descent algorithm for free energy minimization described by White et al., 1958. Also add supporting functions element.potentials(), invertible.combs() for finding linearly independent combinations of rows of a matrix, is.near.equil(), and run.wjd().
Add guess() as another supporting function for wjd(), to produce initial guesses of moles of species satisfying a given elemental bulk composition, and a Suggests dependency on 'limSolve'.
New function i2A() for generating a stoichiometric matrix from indices of species in the thermodynamic database.
Add protein.equil() for step-by-step calculation of chemical activities of proteins in metastable equilibrium.
Add an objective function DGtr() for calculating the Gibbs energy of transformation of a system at constant temperature, pressure and chemical activities of basis species.
Add msgout(), which is a modification of message() from base R. Now used instead of cat(), to allow suppressing messages (e.g. during testing with test_that).
CHANGES TO ARGUMENTS:
In equilibrate(), the argument 'logact' (inherited from diagram()), specifying the logarithm of activity of the balanced quantity, has been renamed to 'loga.balance'. In the result, rename 'logact' to 'loga.equil', containing the equilibrium logarithms of activities of the species of interest.
The 'residue' argument of diagram() has been changed to 'normalize' in diagram() and equilibrate(). normalize=FALSE is always the default, including for systems of proteins.
In balance(), the value of 'balance' used to indicate protein length has been changed from 'PBB' to 'length'.
Everywhere it appeared, the logical argument 'do.plot' has been renamed to 'plot.it' (diagram(), revisit(), findit(), transfer()). (This scheme is more consistent with e.g. qqplot().)
'do.phases' argument in subcrt() and affinity() has been renamed to 'exceed.Ttr'. When that argument is FALSE (the default for subcrt()), the Gibbs energies of mineral phases at temperatures beyond their transition temperature are set to NA, instead of 999999 used previously.
ZC() now accepts a numeric argument, referring to one or more species indices in the thermodynamic database.
CHANGES TO OUTPUT:
subcrt() now only outputs T (temperature), P (pressure) and rho (density) columns if there is more than one T-P point ... makes unlist()ing the results easier (used in element.mu() and basis.logact()).
subcrt() now outputs NA values for properties at temperatures above the critical temperature of H2O, when Psat is being used.
read.blast() accepts NA for 'similarity', 'evalue' and 'max.hits' options. Descriptive column names are now assigned to the data frame returned by the function.
energy.args() (called by affinity()) shows units in messages about limits of variables.
EOSvar() has new variables invPPsi and invPPsiTTheta, used for temperature- and pressure-dependent regressions in the revised HKF equations of state.
thermo.plot.new() now saves the graphics device parameters (par(no.readonly=TRUE)) to thermo$opar the first time the function is called, allowing the parameters to be restored after running examples that change them.
Rewrite mod.obigt() (it's now used by info() when adding proteins) and add today() for returning today's date in the format used in SUPCRT files.
REFACTORING OF FUNCTIONS:
Split the primary functionality of makeup(), parsing of chemical formulas, into a smaller makeup() function and supporting functions count.charge(), count.formulas(), and count.elements(). The new functions make extensive use of regular expressions, and no data frames. Running makeup() over the ca. 3000 formulas in thermo$obigt drops from ~35 to ~5 seconds on one machine.
New function as.chemical.formula() to replace the previous functionality of makeup() for making string representations of chemical formulas.
Replace element() with two separate functions, mass() and entropy().
Units setting interface is now split between three separate functions: P.units(), T.units() and E.units().
Replace describe() with describe.basis(), describe.property(), describe.reaction(). It is now fairly easy to make legends showing temperature, pressure and chemical activities with italic symbols, subscripts, and units.
Reorganize axis.label() and its supporting functions (now expr.species(), expr.property() and expr.units()). Add an example showing a plot annotated with chemical formulas and reactions.
The functionality of info() is split into info(), info.character(), info.approx(), info.numeric() and info.text(). For ease of use, single approximate matches are accepted by info(), and searches for 'H2O' in the 'aq' state now return H2O(liq).
The basis definition functionality of basis() is split into basis(), is.basis(), put.basis(), mod.basis(), preset.basis() and preset.logact().
The basis swapping functionality of basis() is split into basis.matrix(), element.mu(), basis.logact() and swap.basis(). Rename basis.comp() to species.basis(), and remove expand.formulas().
Split aminoacids() into aminoacids() and count.aa().
The monolithic protein() function no longer exists; it has been superseded by iprotein(), ip2aa(), get.aa(), dl.aa(), read.aa(), sum.aa(), and aa2eos(). The user shouldn't notice significant changes (other than in the composition of messages) when including proteins in functions like subcrt() and affinity().
Functionality of get.protein() is split into more.aa() (amino acid compositions from model organisms) and stress() (proteins identified in stress response experiments).
get.expr(), for reading abundances or expression levels of proteins from variously formatted data files, is renamed to read.expr(), with retrieval of amino acid compositions of proteins moved to more.aa().
Replace ionize() with a completely rewritten and much easier to use ionize.aa() for calculating the additive ionization properties of proteins; also add A.ionization(), usually invoked by affinity()
residue.info() mostly replaced by protein.basis().
Rename equil.react() to equil.reaction(), and give it parallel potential (via palply) and a more efficient algorithm for determining limits of the uniroot search. Also remove a redundant argument; arguments are now identical to those of equil.boltzmann() (and that function was renamed from equil.boltz()).
Objective functions used in revisit() and findit() now each have their own definitions, with an attribute indicating whether the function is minimized or maximized.
Separate idealgas.IAPWS95() and residual.IAPWS95() from water.IAPWS95() (in order to write some test_that tests.)
DATA UPDATES:
Add 148 liquid and 148 crystalline acyclic isoprenoids, polycyclic alkanes, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and 62 crystalline double ether-bonded or ester-bonded n-alkanes from Tables 16-23 of Richard and Helgeson, 1998. The properties of the following crystalline and liquid compounds, taken from those tables, replace the previously entered values from the "reference model compound" tables appearing earlier in that paper: biphenyl, naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene, 2,3-dimethylnaphthalene (cr only), anthracene, pyrene.
Add 13 crystalline, 29 liquid and 39 gaseous organic iodine compounds from Richard and Gaona, 2011.
Add crystalline peptide sidechain and [AABB] and [PBB] groups and dipeptide model compounds and revised equations of state parameters for crystalline leucine and revised standard Gibbs energies of crystalline and aqueous methionine and its aqueous sidechain group [Met], from LaRowe and Dick, 2012. Also, use revised volumes of all other crystalline amino acids given in that paper together with those of Lys:HCl and His:HCl calculated using an effective volume of HCl(cr) equal to 33.8 cm3/mol (difference between Arg and Arg:HCl).
Add 6 aqueous chloroethylenes from Haas and Shock, 1999.
Move superseded aqueous methionine sidechain group [Met] to OBIGT-2.csv so that its properties are available for reproduction of published results (relevant to some examples in the package).
As revised makeup() function now strictly interprets a signed value at the end of a chemical formula as charge, the formula of the electron in thermo$obigt is changed from "Z-1" to "Z0-1".
In thermo$obigt, change the value for standard Gibbs energy of H2O from -56688 to -56687.711481 cal mol-1, to be consistent with the value generated by the fortran code from SUPCRT92 (H2O92D.f). Although the latter is the source of the properties of H2O for many functions in the package, there is an occasional function that accesses the tabulated value at 25 degrees C (e.g., element.mu() and basis.logact()).
In protein.csv, change organism code BACST (Bacillus stearothermophilus) to GEOSE (Geobacillus stearothermophilus) for SLAP and DPO1 proteins, and also apply changes in vignettes and examples.
In stress.csv, change ECO to Eco and SGD to Sce.
EXTDATA UPDATES:
In extdata/refseq, scripts and data files were updated for NCBI Reference Sequence (RefSeq) release 55 (2012-09-17).

Add P(ressure) column to extdata/cpetc/SOJSH.csv and a stopifnot() test for similarity to the experimental data to the example in water.Rd.
In extdata/protein rename ECO.csv.xz to Eco.csv.xz and SGD.csv.xz to Sce.csv.xz.
In extdata/thermo add RH98_Table15.csv; this file together with new function RH2obigt() is used to calculate thermodynamic properties of organic compounds using group contributions from Richard and Helgeson, 1998.
DOCUMENTATION AND VIGNETTES:
Add a Known Bugs section to the package help page.
Move 'extra' examples previously available in longex() to individual demos, and add a function demos() to run them all.
All examples now run without any warnings (at least, as intended).
Add an example based on Shock and Canovas, 2010 for the 'transect' mode of affinity().
ionize.aa() has examples of contour plots as a function of temperature and pH.

Add 'sideeffects.Rd' to document some of the side effects of functions.
Add 'objective.Rd' for the objective functions.
To make output of examples reproducible, change mod.obigt() and protein() to not include current date/time for new data entries (remains an option for mod.obigt()).
Move vignette sources to 'vignettes' directory.
Remove vignettes formation.Rnw and xadditivity.Rnw (and, for the latter, the package Suggests dependency on xtable).
Rename protactive.Rnw to equilibrium.Rnw, with some changes.
Add vignette wjd.Rnw to accompany the new function wjd().
Add a release CHECKLIST to the installation directory of the package.
Replace "degrees" with UTF-8 degree symbol in second argument of \eqn{}{}; add \encoding{UTF-8} to affected Rd files.
OTHER CHANGES:
A matrix is now returned by makeup(), GHS() and some other functions to avoid the performace penalty associated with data frames.
Add parallel as a Suggests dependency and replace mylapply() (based on 'multicore') with palply(), as a wrapper for parLapply and lapply. palply() now invokes parLapply for length(X) > 10000 instead of 100.
Comment out lines containing WRITE and STOP statements in src/H2O92D.f since they are discouraged by CRAN guidelines (and calls to them are unlikely to be encountered while using the package).
Remove thermo$opt$verbose and thermo$opt$online.
In c2s(), use 'collapse' argument of paste() instead of a for loop.
Change R dependency to R >= 2.12.0, required for useDynLib in NAMESPACE to find the shared library on Windows.
Restore ZipData: no in DESCRIPTION, needed for building the package on R < 2.13.0 on Windows.
Remove some incorrect titles for barplots in diagram().
Add more informative titles for plots in first example of diagram.Rd.
In EOSvar() and EOSlab(), name the first argument 'EXPR' in calls to switch() to avoid partial matching with 'E' (expansivity).
Shorten CHNOSZ-package.Rd and clean up formatting of some examples in other documentation topics.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO FUNCTIONS:
New function browse.refs() for listing references for thermodynamic data and opening associated URLs. Supported by extdata/js/sorttable.js for sorting table of references in browser.
Add EOSregress(), EOSvar(), EOSlab(), EOSplot(), EOScoeffs() for regressing and comparing equations-of-state parameters from heat capacity and volume data for aqueous species.
Add anim.plasma() and anim.carboxylase() for making animated GIFs of equilibrium activity diagrams. All anim.* functions now also work on Windows (with ImageMagick installed).
New functions checkEOS(), checkGHS() for checking self-consistency of individual database entries. check.obigt() replaces 'check' argument of info().
New argument 'chains' for protein() can be used to specify the number of polypeptide chains in group additivity calculations.
protein() now looks for protein backbone group named '[PBB]' for group additivity of crystalline proteins.
Remove count.taxa(), splitting its functionality into read.blast() and id.blast(); new function write.blast().
eqdata() can now also extract results for solids, saturation states of minerals, and major speciation of basis species from EQ6 output files.
DATA UPDATES:
Rename 'source.csv' to 'refs.csv'. Add URLs for most references.
Column names 'source1' and 'source2' in OBIGT.csv, changed to 'ref1' and 'ref2'.
In protein.csv, add amino acid compositions of 105 model proteins derived from metagenomic sequences at Bison Pool (Dick and Shock, 2011). protein: overall, transferase, transport, dehydrogenase, ...; organism: bisonN, bisonS, bisonR, bisonQ, bisonP
Add properties for aqueous bromine (Br2) and iodine (I2) from Wagman et al., 1982.
Add properties of crystalline and liquid groups from Helgeson et al., 1998 and Richard and Helgeson, 1998.
EXTDATA UPDATES:
Reorganize the 'extdata' directory, putting all files into one of nine subdirectories (abundance, bison, cpetc, fasta, js, protein, refseq, taxonomy, thermo).
To reduce installed package size, compress many data files in extdata using xz.
In extdata/bison, update partial protein BLAST output files for five Bison Pool sites to use target database made up of microbial protein sequences in NCBI Reference Sequence database version 47.
In extdata/cpetc, new files 'Cp.CH4.HW97.csv' and 'V.CH4.HWM96.csv' contain experimental heat capacity and volume data for aqueous methane from Hnedkovsky and Wood, 1997 and Hnedkovsky et al., 1996.
In extdata/refseq, rename 'taxid_phylum.csv' to 'taxid_names.csv'.
In extdata/thermo/OBIGT-2.csv, fix incorrectly entered values of c1 from Dalla-Betta and Schulte, 2010. Also apply corrected values of c1 and c2 and minor corrections for delta-H and S from Marini and Accornero, 2010.
DOCUMENTATION AND VIGNETTES:
Change vignette file names and titles to be in the same alphabetical order to achieve the desired sorting in browseVignettes().
Add .Rinstignore to inst/doc to exclude figure, bibliography and LyX files from the installation directory.
Adapted 'formation.Rnw' to work with pdflatex, and remove Makefile in inst/doc.
Add 'hs-chemistry.Rnw' with calculations of relative stabilities of model proteins in a hot spring (Dick and Shock, 2011).

Add 'xadditivity.Rnw' with examples of group contribution calculations (using qr.solve()) and comparison of two group contribution schemes.
OTHER CHANGES:
In DESCRIPTION, change Depends to a more recent R (>= 2.10.0), required for reading of compressed (including .xz) files.
Add Suggests: xtable in DESCRIPTION (used for 'xadditivity' vignette).
In DESCRIPTION, change "ZipData" to "BuildResaveData", keeping the setting at "no". Resaving data as compressed files reduces the installed package size by about 200Kb, but complicates showing the file formats to new users.
Loading of shared object for calculating properties of H2O now done by useDynLib in NAMESPACE.
Change .First.lib() to .onAttach(). In .onAttach, use packageStartupMessage() instead of cat().
