-The reaction field (RF) method simply extends the results observed in

 A final note for the liquid water system, use of group cutoffs and a
-switching function also leads to noticeable improvements in the {\sc
-sp} and {\sc sf} methods, primarily in directionality of the force and
-torque vectors (table \ref{tab:spceAng}).  {\sc sp} shows significant
-narrowing of the angle distribution in the cases with little to no
-damping and only modest improvement for the ideal conditions ($\alpha$
-= 0.2 \AA${-1}$ and $R_\textrm{c} \geqslant 12$~\AA).  The {\sc sf}
-method simply shows modest narrowing across all damping and cutoff
