We put forth the idea of treating coexisting phases as a composite system and express its free energy as the average of its constitutent free energies weighted by their respective volume proportions. As a result, the theoretical study of charged colloidal phase separation in the presence of electrolytes reduces to optimizing solely the entities pertaining to colloids and small ions. As concrete...

The hypothesis proposed by Knox (1970) that an anencephalic fetus arises from a fetus-fetus interaction between two dizygous twins predicts that the twinning rate, the population incidence of anencephalus, and the female proportion of anencephalics in a population should be positively interrelated. These associations were tested using Canadian data during a long period of time and over a large ...
