We study the mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann equation in the context of dense ionic liquids where steric effects become important. We generalise lattice gas theory by introducing a Flory-Huggins entropy for ions of differing volumes and then compare the effective free energy density to other existing lattice gas approximations, not based on the Flory-Huggins Ansatz. Within the methodology presente...

Electron beam irradiated sheep wool dosed (0–410) kGy showing good adsorption properties was tested for Cr(III) and Co(II) of higher concentrations. Fitting to ten isotherm models examined as follows: Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Temkin, Flory-Huggins, Halsey, Harkins-Jura, Jovanovic, Elovich Redlich-Peterson. Both cations being Lewis acids generate complex salts, such carboxylat...

The recognition of 10 different 16-note melodies, constructed using either dichotic-pitch stimuli or diotic pure-tone stimuli, was measured. The dichotic pitches were created by placing a frequency-dependent transition in the interaural phase of a noise burst. Three different configurations for the transition were used in order to give Huggins pitch, binaural-edge pitch, and binaural-coherence-...

Auditory continuity is a powerful illusion which has implications for the efficient coding of sound. Although auditory continuity has been studied extensively as a monaural phenomenon, there have been few reports of the influence of binaural factors. Hartmann [1] and Kashino & Warren [2] report that when a tone alternates with a noise, the continuity threshold of the tone is lower when the tone...

The Huggins band of ozone is investigated by means of exact dynamics calculations using a new (diabatic) potential energy surface for the (1)B(2) state. The remarkable agreement with the measured spectrum strongly suggests that the Huggins band is due to the two C(s) potential wells of the (1)B(2) state. The vibrational assignment, based on the nodal structure of wave functions, supports the mo...

Local polynomial models for capture-recapture experiments on open populations with frequent capture occasions and heterogeneous capture probabilities are proposed. A one-step bootstrap procedure is proposed to determine optimal bandwidths. It is shown in simulations that for heterogeneous populations the proposed procedure performs better than the kernel estimator of Huggins and Yip (1999) that...
