+There have been many efforts to address this issue of both proper and
+practical handling of electrostatic interactions, and these have
+resulted in the availability of a variety of
+techniques.\cite{Roux99,Sagui99,Tobias01} These are typically
+classified as implicit methods (i.e., continuum dielectrics, static
+dipolar fields),\cite{Born20,Grossfield00} explicit methods (i.e.,
+Ewald summations, interaction shifting or
+trucation),\cite{Ewald21,Steinbach94} or a mixture of the two (i.e.,
+reaction field type methods, fast multipole
+methods).\cite{Onsager36,Rokhlin85} The explicit or mixed methods are
+often preferred because they incorporate dynamic solvent molecules in
+the system of interest, but these methods are sometimes difficult to
+utilize because of their high computational cost.\cite{Roux99} In
+addition to this cost, there has been some question of the inherent
+periodicity of the explicit Ewald summation artificially influencing
+systems dynamics.\cite{Tobias01}

+In this paper, we focus on the common mixed and explicit methods of
+reaction filed and smooth particle mesh
+Ewald\cite{Onsager36,Essmann99} and a new set of shifted methods
+devised by Wolf {\it et al.} which we further extend.\cite{Wolf99}
+These new methods for handling electrostatics are quite
+computationally efficient, since they involve only a simple
+modification to the direct pairwise sum, and they lack the added
+periodicity of the Ewald sum. Below, these methods are evaluated using
+a variety of model systems and comparison methodologies to establish
