Part I I Introduction and context

A conceptual framework chemistry of Hydrated Cations: Part I. Preliminary Ab Initio and QTAIM calculations on [Li(H20)nr (n=1,2,3).

Ion molecules with general chemical formula as [Li(H2O)] (n=1,2,3), have been chosen as model species toinvestigate the chemical properties of hydrated lithium cations. The RHF(SCVS)/UGBS level of calculationhas been used for obtaining equilibrium geometries and Rho(r) functions (electron density distributions). By theaid of fundamental physical theorems implemented in Quantum Theory of Atoms i...

Evidence based medicine in nuclear medicine practice; Part I: Introduction, asking answerable questions and searching for the best evidence

  Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is a new approach to patient management which incorporates best evidence with the clinical expertise of the health care providers. Although this approach has had a rapid growth in many clinical disciplines, its applications in radiology and nuclear medicine has not been addressed sufficiently. In this review EBM is briefly explained...

An Exploratory Study on the Use of 'I Love You' in the American Context

This study explores the use of the English locution I love you in the American context. The data were collected through a focus discussion group and a survey questionnaire. 120 college undergraduate students from a large public American university participated in the study with 28 attending the focus discussion group and 92 completing the survey questionnaire. The findings indicated th...

A Rigorous Calculation Method for Determining Potential-pH Diagrams Part I: Copper in Aqueous Solutions of Various Complexing Agents

The main aim of this research is to determine optimal leaching conditions; Eh, pH and complexing agent concentrations, for recovery of Copper from hydroxide sludges such as those produced by electroplating shops, metal finishers, treatment of acid mine drainage, and industrial wastewater in general. This has been preceded by a theoretical approach and numerical and computer calculation. Pot...

The Introduction of “Aesthetics” in Baumgarten’s Meditationes and Its Background

In his Meditationes philosophicae de nonnullis ad poema pertinentibus Baumgarten famously called for Aesthetics, which he considered a branch of knowledge of the clear but confused perceptions that could not be reduced to any other kind of more distinct knowledge. This took place in a context of both Leibnizian-Wolffian Rationalism and Pietism. Regarding the first, Baumgarten used Leibniz’s tax...
