Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are comprised of bulky organic cations and anions (Holbrey & Seddon, 1999; Weingärtner, 2008). Because of the intricate interplay of various interand intramolecular interactions, RTILs have rich dynamical properties and have found diverse applications. In particular, negligible vapor pressure of RTILs makes them a green alternative of conventional organic ...

In our original paper (Wiseman & Milton, 1999), we described a number of potential information leakage pathways in Experiment One of the SAIC remote viewing program. In this paper, we counter May’s assertion that the proposed leakage paths could not have accounted for the observed difference between performance in the static-target and dynamic target conditions and refute May’s claim that there...

micro-leakage, one of the major reasons for recurrent decays, may lead to uncontrollable flow of liquids, pulp inflammation and peri-apical pathology. the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate micro-leakage of pit and fissure sealants after using three different pit and fissure preparation techniques: 1) acid etching, 2) fissure enameloplasty and acid etching, and 3) air abrasion and a...

Correlated sources are present in communication systems where protocols ensure that there is some predetermined information for sources. Here correlated sources across an eavesdropped channel that incorporate a heterogeneous encoding scheme and their effect on the information leakage when some channel information and a source have been wiretapped is investigated. The information leakage bounds ...

We have employed atomic-scale molecular dynamics simulations to address ion leakage through transient water pores in protein-free phospholipid membranes. Our results for phospholipid membranes in aqueous solution with NaCl and KCl salts show that the formation of transient water pores and the consequent ion leakage can be induced and be driven by a transmembrane ionic charge imbalance, an inher...
