When one is faced with a condensed-phase system, usually containing many molecules, that is at or near thermal equilibrium, it is not necessary or even wise to try to describe it in terms of quantum wave functions or even classical trajectories of all of the constituent molecules. Instead, the powerful tools of statistical mechanics

Electrons are the “glue” that holds the nuclei together in the chemical bonds of molecules and ions. Of course, it is the nuclei’s positive charges that bind the electrons to the nuclei. The competitions among Coulomb repulsions and attractions as well as the existence of non-zero electronic and nuclear kinetic energies make the treatment of the full electronic-nuclear Schrödinger equation an extremely difficult problem. Electronic

Abstract In Chapter Seven we continue to look at the variety of ways in which people in Britain today spend their leisure time. We especially look at excursions away from home for a short or longer break. But we first look at the transport infrastructure of Great Britain a network of airports, railway lines, motorways and other roads, which, together, connect up the even remotest parts of the country and help to make

Microbial pathogenesis—process of causing disease Colonization—presence of microbes at site of body – Does not imply tissue damage or disease symptoms – Does imply invasion of site and multiplication

Structures of wool fibers Submicrostructure – Cotex core of the wool fiber: 90% of the fiber volume, consists of countless long, spindle-shaped cells held together by intercellular cement

An interesting property of an M/M/1 queue, which greatly simplifies combining these queues into a network, is the surprising fact that the output of an M/M/1 queue with arrival rate λ is a Poisson process of rate

The objectives of the course: 1. To help learners build up literary critical abilities by way of reading and appreciating the representative works in English literature; 2. To help learners enhance cultural cognitive abilities by way of introducing the background of literature, particularly the relationship between the literary creation and the social movements;

1 Introduction- Basic Principles of*** English Law What are the basic principles of English Law? Explain \The Rule of Law\. What is the Law that is higher than man-made law? What are the criteria? What kind of orders are soldiers expected to disobey? Give examples. Should the pilot who bombarded the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia be punished for the atrocity? Why or why not?
