The dependence of the PMR spectra of three purine nucleosides (inosine, adenosine and deoxyadenosine) on temperature, concentration and addition of benzene (0.12 molal) has been investi­ gated in aqueous solution. The interaction of benzene with the nucleosides is deduced from the spectra. Enthalpies of self association have been determined as 2.2±0.1 kcal-mole-1 for dA and I. The corresponding...

The Everett interpretation, if it is to be a candidate for serious consideration, must be capable of doing justice to reasoning on which statistical evidence in which observed relative frequencies that closely match calculated probabilities counts as evidence in favour of a theory from which the probabilities are calculated. S...
