The selective recognition of anions by synthetic receptors is a problem that continues to
fascinate chemists.[1] Hydrogen bonding has been the most frequently employed noncovalent …

Halogen bonds are noncovalent interactions in which covalently bound halogens act as
electrophilic species. The utility of halogen bonding for controlling self-assembly in the solid …

A detailed study of the thermodynamics of the halogen-bonding interaction in organic
solution is presented. F NMR titrations are used to determine association constants for the …

The evaluation of functional capacity is an important aspect of the graded exercise test. It
provides data which may be of diagnostic and prognostic significance 1–3 as well as of …

The interactions of iodoperfluoroarenes and ‐alkanes with anions in organic solvent were
studied. The data indicates that favorable halogen‐bonding interactions exist between halide …

Lean manufacturing is gaining popularity as an approach that can achieve significant performance
improvement in the industry. However, the application of lean manufacturing is not an …

In cutting operations by multipoint cutting tools such as bandsawing, the layer of material
removed per tooth (5–30μm) is usually less than or equal to the cutting edge radius (5–15μm). …

Weak, intermolecular forces are difficult to observe in solution because the molecular encounters
are random, short-lived, and overwhelmed by the solvent. In confined spaces such as …

To overcome the limitation of the conventional Performance Measurement System (PMS), a
number of alternative approaches have been developed, some of the well-known systems …

Mutations in the human PBGD (porphobilinogen deaminase) gene cause the inherited defect
AIP (acute intermittent porphyria). In the present study we report the structure of the human …
