The molar conductivity data of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salicylate, [BMIm][Sal] as an active pharmaceutical ingredient ionic liquid (API-IL) have been determined in water and aqueous solutions of amino acids, glycine and L-alanine at T= (288.15 to 318.15) K. The molar conductivity data were analyzed by low concentration Chemical Model (lcCM) and limiting molar conductivities ( ), ion associa...

Introduction The business value research, after the initial findings of missing impact of IT systems, has focused on alternate mechanisms that affect performance of IT systems (Loveman 1994, Barua and Mukhopadhayay 2000, Brynjoffsson and Hitt 1996). Amongst the various processes that affect the value realization of IT, a critical factor is related to the complementary processes and mechanisms t...

In this paper we investigate strong logics of first and second order that have certain absoluteness properties. We begin with an investigation of first order logic and the strong logics ω-logic and β-logic, isolating two facets of absoluteness, namely, generic invariance and faithfulness. It turns out that absoluteness is relative in the sense that stronger background assumptions secure greater...

In 7 experiments, undergraduates judged the force exerted by a videotaped standing puller, a computer-generated (stick-figure) puller, or a computer-generated inverted pendulum. Single and stepwise multiple regression analyses determined the kinematic variables exploited by the participants. Results show that (a) judgments correlated highly with force and improved with feedback; (b) judgments c...
