    A Study of the Solubility of Potassium Chloride

    No full text
    Bjerrum has recently outlined an electrostatic theory of solubility applicable only to substances existing in the solid state as ionic lattices and completely dissociated in solution. The fundamental assumption is that the solubility of such a salt is chiefly dependent on the electrostatic forces between the solute ions and the solvent molecules. This is precisely the contention of Hildebrand if one remembers that other factors such as melting points, "molecular" weights and specific crystalline structure are at least very closely related to these electrostatic forces. In fact there is every reason to assume that such properties are actually determined by these electrostatic forces. Therefore, in view of the absence of any evidence to the contrary, one seems justified in assuming that solubility of salts within the limits of the present study, is an electrostatic phenomenon.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

    No full text
    The paper gives a probabilistic proof of the Bailey-Daum theorem. It also provides random walks for certain special cases of the Bailey-Daum distribution and discusses the distribution's moment properties, logconvexity, logconcavity, and infinite divisibility.

    Tradition and change in the built space of Yemen: the description of a process as observed in the former Yemen Arab republic between 1970 and 1990

    Built space In Yemen is observed through the forms taken from the earliest phases of the process of building and dwelling In an agricultural territory to the Increasingly complex expressions of settling and developing urban structures, before and after the Republican Revolution of 1962. The Revolution is seen as a turning point in building methods and attitudes; and the twenty years that followed the consolidation of the Republican regime in 1970 exuberantly illustrate the results of the country’s consequent exposure to an industrial culture hitherto unknown. The manifestations of pre-Revolution times and those taking shape in the subsequent twenty years are approached from parallel points of view. The later period, however, includes not only a study of built form but also the declared intentions for planning growth and conservation within the environment as a whole. Disruption appears as a consequence of cultural change and the mitigation of its effect as a government responsibility. Consolidated forms of domestic architecture are studied and a basic distribution pattern of regional variations is proposed. New approaches in the process of building may be creating original idioms and radicalising economic and stylistic differences between the urban and the rural contexts. An attempt is made to identify meaningful trends
