Recent studies have investigated a mercury-free silver alternative to amalgam, but the silver powders required a relatively high compaction pressure to...
Most of the fundamental constants are obtained by the comparison of the results of critical experiments and theoretical expressions for these results. Many of...
We have found earlier that a certain type of multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock wave functions may not have the correct nonrelativistic limit in the spin quantum...
A new to our knowledge heterodyne interferometer for differential displacement measurements is presented. It is, in principle, free of periodic nonlinearity. A...
The infinite dilution chemical potentials of methane, ethane, propane, benzene in water are precisely estimated using the single charging integral method...
The effect of adding linear polymers to a novel reversible electrophoretic media was measured. Reversible gels are formed using the polyanionic carbohydrate...
