Electronic Spectroscopy And Its Interpretation

Vibrational and Electronic Spectroscopy of Acenaphthylene and Its Cation

Aggression and Its Interpretation

This small and easily read book will be primarily of interest to child psychiatrists, but its theme has also implications not only for the worker with adults but also for the sociologist. Dr. Jackson has set out to study the nature of aggression and has designed a pictorial projection test for this purpose : this has been used among other investigations on groups of so-called normal, neurotic a...

In vitro study of drug-protein interaction using electronic absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy

In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...

Entropy, Its Language, and Interpretation

The language of entropy is examined for consistency with its mathematics and physics, and for its efficacy as a guide to what entropy means. Do common descriptors such as disorder, missing information, and multiplicity help or hinder understanding? Can the language of entropy be helpful in cases where entropy is not well defined? We argue in favor of the descriptor spreading, which entails spac...

Isoscaling and its Statistical Interpretation

The scaling properties of cross sections for fragment production with respect to the isotopic composition of the emitting systems were studied long ago in light-ion induced reactions [1]. Recently, the isoscaling was also reported for heavy-ion reactions [2]. It is constituted by the exponential dependence of the production ratios R21 for fragments with neutron number N and proton number Z in r...
