Efficient, reliable methods for calculating the binding affinities of noncovalent complexes would allow advances in a variety of areas such as drug discovery
We have studied the effect of the electrostatic potential on the current across a one dimensional tight-binding molecular wire by solving self-consistently the
rbonyl sulfide (COS), which occurs as an impurity in commercial sources fo propane can hydrolyze in the presence of water to form hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and
If you read about technetium in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (see Technetium at a Glance) you might think you knew all you needed to about its
Heat capacities and enthalpy increments between the temperatures T nearly equal to}5 K and T nearly equal to}380 K were measured with adiabatic calorimetry for

This article examines four groupl contribution methods (Joback-Reid, Constantinou-Gani, Wilson-Jasperson, and Marrero-Pardillo) with respect to their abilities
This article reviews new genetic markers on the Y chromosome and methods for analyzing these short tandem repeat (STR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
A non-invasive, non-perturbing method for monitoring ion current and ion kinetic energy that is suitable for use during actual processing in industrial plasma
Prompted by the suggestion that entropy is important in gas-phase ion-molecule reactions, Ferguson et al. recently re-examined the reaction between HCl+ and CF4
We discuss the entropy of nonequilibrium steady states. We show that the so-called spontaneous entropy production of reversible deterministic nonequilibrium

Herein we report an investigation of the surface organization of tetrameric arrays of porphyrins self-assembled by metal ion coordination to exocyclic pyridyl
The speed of sound was measured in gaseous chlorine using a highly precise acoustic resonance technique. The data span the temperature range 260 K to 440 K and
Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease with prevalence rates that vary in different parts of the world, but average from 4 to 7 per 100,000
A general model of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has been derived which shows the dependence of the polishing rate on the concentration of chemicals and
In this paper, we present an original method, which allows reconstituting the current density in a low voltage breaker arc. This method is based on the
