In this study a simple and general chemical association theory is introduced. The concept of infinite equilibrium model is re-examined and true mole fractions of associated species are calculated. The theory is applied to derive the distribution function of associated species. As a severe test the application of presented theory to the van der Waals mixture model is introduced in order to p...

A 21 years old male with typical features of Ellis-Van Creveld Syndrome is presented for its rarity. This is the second living case being reported from India.

De Groot proved that every group is the autohomeomorphism group of some metrizable space. A space is totally disconnected if every connected subset of it contains at most one point. We prove that every separable metrizable totally disconnected topological group is topologically isomorphic to the autohomeomorphism group of some separable metrizable space, when given the compact-open topology. It...

Intergenerational coresidence is generally viewed as an adaptive living arrangement for both parents and their adult children facing economic constraints. Yet despite the importance of socioeconomic characteristics in predicting living arrangements, racial and ethnic differences persist. In this paper, we demonstrate that much of the race and ethnic variation in living arrangements is attributa...

BACKGROUND: Alexithymia (“no words for feelings”) is a psychological construct that can be divided in a cognitive and affective dimension. The cognitive dimension reflects the ability to identify, verbalize and analyze feelings, whereas the affective dimension reflects the degree to which individuals get aroused by emotional stimuli and their ability to fantasize. These two alexithymia dimensio...
