an analytical equation of state is applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon. theequation of state is that of song and mason. it is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbation theory ofhard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exist three temperaturedependentparameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecular volume,...

BACKGROUND The General Movements Assessment (GMA) is a validated and reliable method of identifying infants at risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, however there is minimal data available on the use of the GMA with infants following surgery. AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the inter-observer agreement for the GMA with this infant population. STUDY DESIGN Reliability an...

In this work we have applied the Dense System Equation of State (DSEOS) to electrolyte solutions. We have found that this equation of state can predict the density of electrolyte solutions very accurately. It has been tested for different electrolytes solutions at different temperatures and compositions. A hypothetical binary model has been applied to find the dependencies of parameters of ...

This article summarizes the practical and theoretical implications of 85 years of research in personnel selection. On the basis of meta-analytic findings, this article presents the validity of 19 selection procedures for predicting job performance and training performance and the validity of paired combinations of general mental ability (GMA) and the 18 other selection procedures. Overall, the ...

Canonical models in S-system or GMA form are sets of differential equations which are consistent with a number of specific features of biochemical systems as well as with observations that are common to other branches of biology [3]. While these models are advantageous for their light-weighted structures which let us instantly derive steady-state concentrations of the metabolic intermediates in...

Grids are distributed systems that provide access to computational resources in a transparent fashion. Providing information about the status of the Grid itself is called Grid monitoring. As an approach to this problem, we present the Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture (R-GMA), which tackles Grid monitoring as an information integration problem. A novel feature of R-GMA is its support for ...

In order to prepare antibacterial and radio-opaque dental resin, a methacrylate monomer named 2-Dimethyl-2-dodecyl-1-methacryloxyethyl ammonium iodine (DDMAI) with both antibacterial and radio-opaque activities was added into a 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropyl)-phenyl]propane (Bis-GMA)/methyl methacrylate (MMA) dental resin system. Degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS) a...

A statistical mechanical based equation of state has been employed to calculate the liquid density of lead, mercury, bismuth and lead-bismuth and lead-lithium eutectic alloys.The equation is basically that of Song, Mason and Ihm [Ihm G, Song Y, Mason EA. J. Chem. Phys.1991; 94: 3839] which is modified by Ghatee and Boushehri. Three temperature dependent parameters are required to use this e...
