A method by which barrier heights in potential functions
hindering internal rotation in organic molecules can be obtained solely
from thermal data for the solid phase is studied. The observed
heat capacities are analyzed in terms of contributions from the lattice
vibrations, the intramolecular vibrations, the expansion of the lattice,...
In watersheds across the American Pacific Northwest, changes in the cultural and regulatory landscape have increased pressure to restore and protect populations of anadromous fish. But restoration of anadromous fish populations constitutes a ‘wicked problem’, relentless in character, affecting diverse stakeholder groups, and defying ‘once and for all’ solutions (Weber...
