923 + The properties shown in table \ref{tab:dampedSSDRF} compare
924 + surprisingly well. The average density shows a modest increase when
925 + using damped electrostatics in place of the reaction field. This comes
926 + about because we neglect the pressure effect due to the surroundings
927 + outside of the cuttoff, instead relying on screening effects to
928 + neutralize electrostatic interactions at long distances. The $C_p$
929 + also shows a slight increase, indicating greater fluctuation in the
930 + enthalpy at constant pressure. The only other differences between the
931 + damped and reaction field results are the dipole reorientational time
932 + constants, $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$. When using damped electrostatics,
933 + the water molecules relax more quickly and are almost identical to the
934 + experimental values. These results indicate that not only is it
935 + reasonable to use damped electrostatics with SSD/RF, it is recommended
936 + if capturing realistic dynamics is of primary importance. This is an
937 + encouraging result because of the more varied applicability of damping
938 + over the reaction field technique. Rather than be limited to
939 + homogeneous systems, SSD/RF can be used effectively with mixed
940 + systems, such as dissolved ions, small organic molecules, or even
941 + proteins.
942  
943   In addition to the properties tabulated in table
944 < \ref{tab:dampedSSDRF}, we calculated the static dielectric constant
944 > \ref{tab:dampedSSDRF}, we calculated the static dielectric constant
945   from a 5ns simulation of SSD/RF using the damped electrostatics. The
946   resulting value of 82.6(6) compares very favorably with the
947   experimental value of 78.3.\cite{Malmberg56} This value is closer to
948   the experimental value than what was expected according to figure
949   \ref{fig:dielectricMap}, raising some questions as to the accuracy of
950 < the visual contours in the figure. This simply enforces the

953   \section{Tetrahedrally Restructured Elongated Dipole (TRED) Water Model}
954  
955 + The SSD/RF model works well with damped electrostatics, but because of its point multipole character, there is no charge neutralization correction at $R_\textrm{c}$. This has the effect of increasing the density, since there is no consideration of the ``surroundings''.
