The preferred conformations of dimethyl sulfite and their vibrational spectra were studied by matrix-isolation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and theoretical methods (density functional theory (DFT) and Moller-Plesset (MP2), with basis sets of different sizes, including the quadruple-zeta, aug-cc-pVQZ basis). Five minima were found at these levels of theory. At the MP2/6-31++G(d,p) and...

Proton and hydrogen-bonded motifs are amongst the most widely occurring patterns in chemistry and biology. Besides their intrinsic chemical significance, they also display a fascinating range of dynamical effects including highly quantum behavior or strong coupling between inter and intramolecular degrees of freedom. In chemical and biological systems, rates for proton transfer (PT) or hydrogen...

The Moller operators and the asociated Lippman-Schwinger equations obtained from different partitionings of the Hamiltonian for a step-like potential barrier are worked out, compared and related.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy affecting women in the United States. In 1988, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics shifted from a clinical staging protocol to one based on surgical factors, making surgical staging the accepted treatment approach to endometrial cancers, with excellent survival compared to other gynecologic malignancies. The manu...

A common, natural view about probabilities, shared by phllosophers of diverse persuasions, is that probabilities are graded possibilities.1 On this view, which I will presuppose, there are no probabilities without underlying possibilities, and there is room for different notions of probability at least to the extent that there are different underlying notions of possibility. In this paper I wan...
