The study of culture in international relations theories takes a wide range of complex issues, which without enough perception about these issues, certainly our understanding about the role of culture in international relations theories will be incomplete. Since in real world the study of international affairs is best understood as traditional competition between traditional mainstream theories...

H Scheraga has been a pioneer in the application of physical chemical methods to biological systems. Remarkably, his research program has spanned over six decades and is still going strong. His entire academic career has been at Cornell University where he received his initial academic appointment in 1947. He has combined both experimental and theoretical approaches to produce a new understandi...

This article studies equilibrium singular configurations of gels and addresses open questions concerning gel energetics. We model a as an incompressible, immiscible saturated mixture solid polymer solvent that sustain chemical interactions at the molecular level. assume energy consists elastic its network plus Flory-Huggins mixing. The latter involves entropic energies individual components int...

The dependence of the intrinsic viscosity [η] on the weight average degree of polymerization Pw of chitosans in aqueous acid media is discussed in terms of the Yamakawa-Fujii theory for the worm-like cylinder model. The conformational characteristics (Kuhn statistical segment length and Flory characteristic ratio) are estimated. They increase linearly with the reciprocal of the square root of s...
