Quantifying Solvophobic Effects in Nonpolar Cohesive Interactions

Quantifying intermolecular interactions of ionic liquids using cohesive energy densities

For ionic liquids (ILs), both the large number of possible cation + anion combinations and their ionic nature provide a unique challenge for understanding intermolecular interactions. Cohesive energy density, ced, is used to quantify the strength of intermolecular interactions for molecular liquids, and is determined using the enthalpy of vaporization. A critical analysis of the experimental ch...

Mapping interactions within and between cohesive subgroups *

The structure of interactions and the pattern of influence in an organization can be characterized in terms of a map of interactions within and between cohesive subgroups. I extend the work of Festinger, Schachter and Back (Social Pressures in InformalGroups, 1950, Stanford University Press) who constructed a map based on the pattern of communication within and between apartment courts. In orde...

Single molecular anatomy of solvophobic effects in host-guest interactions based on surface tension using atomic force microscopy.

The effectiveness of the mechanism of surface tension to analyze the host-guest interaction was demonstrated by measuring the unbinding force of the beta-Cyclodextrin (CyD)--adamantane molecules in a liquid environment at the single-molecule level. The contribution of the solvophobic effect was quantitatively distinguished from the intrinsic van der Waals force, and the effective length that pr...

Bank’s Corporate Governance: Quantifying the Effects in Iranian Banking Networks

The most important tool for promoting the bank’s stability and health is the establishment of a standard corporate governance structure for managing the bank's business. Redesigning the relationships between bank management, shareholders and the rest of the bank’s stockholder, including the objectives, the risk and audit indices, and internal control of the bank, is recognized as the foundation...
