A generally applicable computer algorithm for the calculation of the seven molecular descriptors heat of combustion, logPoctanol/water, logS (water solubility), molar refractivity, molecular polarizability, aqueous toxicity (protozoan growth inhibition) and logBB (log (cblood/cbrain)) is presented. The method, an extendable form of the group-additivity method, is based on the complete break-dow...

In a continuation and extension of an earlier publication, the calculation refractivity polarizability organic molecules at standard conditions is presented, applying commonly applicable computer algorithm based on atom group additivity method, where are broken down into their constituting atoms, these again being further characterized by immediate neighbor atoms. The contributions, carried out...

Gas modulation refractometry (GAMOR) is a methodology for assessment of gas refractivity, molar density, and pressure that, by rapid modulation, exhibits reduced susceptibility to various types disturbances. Although previously demonstrated experimentally, no detailed analysis its ability reduce the pickup drifts has yet been given. This work provides an explication what extent modulated in gen...

Radio refractivity plays a significant role in the development and design of radio systems for attaining the best level of performance. Refractivity in the troposphere is one of the features affecting electromagnetic waves, and hence the communication system interrupts. In this work, a modified artificial neural network (ANN) based model is applied to predict the refractivity. The suggested ANN...

In coastal regions the presence of the marine boundary layer can significantly affect RF propagation. The relatively high specific humidity of the underlying “marine layer” creates elevated trapping layers in the radio refractivity structure. While direct sensing techniques provide good data, they are limited in their temporal and spatial scope. There is a need for assessing the three-dimension...

The Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) system is enhanced to include the analysis of radar-derived refractivity measurements. These refractivity data are most sensitive to atmospheric moisture content and provide high-resolution information on near-surface moisture that is important to convective initiation (CI) and precipitation forecasting. Observ...

In this study a nonlocal, linear observation operator for assimilating radio occultation data is evaluated. The operator consists of modeling the excess phase, that is, integrating the refractivity along straight lines tangent to rays, below a certain height. The corresponding observable is the excess phase integrated through the Abel-retrieved refractivity, along the same lines, below the same...

[1] Non‐standard radio wave propagation in the atmosphere is caused by anomalous changes of the atmospheric refractivity index. In recent years, refractivity from clutter (RFC) has been an active field of research to complement traditional ways of measuring the refractivity profile in maritime environments which rely on direct sensing of the environmental parameters. Higher temporal and spatial...

The electronic, hydrophobic and global reactivity parameters of modeled 28 different 5,8-quinolinequinone derivatives have been calculated using DFT (B3LYP)/6-31G(d,p) method basis set. molecular descriptors are chosen polarizability, dipole moment, frontier orbital energy, volume, ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, hardness, softness, electrophilic index, molar refract...

in this paper, some meteorological data, such as temperature, pressure and dew point temperature are used for extracting the atmospheric refractivity in different locations of iran. these data have been measured at different heights in twelve radiosonde sites of country by using meteorological balloons. the set of refractivity points obtained from data of each site are plotted as a function of ...
