The second and third virial coefficient of a gas of nonspherical molecules of arbitrary symmetry have been calculated for a set of force parameters which has been found suitable to explain the dilute gas viscosity data. The influence of a large number of orientation dependent pair- and...

The second and third virial coefficients of polar gases have been calculated for a set of force parameters which has been found suitable to explain the dilute gas viscosity data. The influence of a large number of orientation dependent pair- and three-body nonadditive interactions have been...

The private costs and benefits of dry-seeded rice (DSR) were investigated using data from on-station trials at Pantnagar, Uttaranchal, for 2002 and 2003. Results showed that DSR was profitable for farmers, giving net returns of Rs. 13,350 per ha for dry-seeded rice and Rs. 11,592 per ha for...

The research paper tries to cover studies on investment behaviour, work by Harry Markowitz, Roy, Tobin, Sharpe, studies on diversification, studies on Mutual funds, studies analyzing securities, studies involving strategies for wealth creation and some Indian Empirical studies focusing on...

Equities tend to give high returns accompanied with high risk level. Commodities exhibit similar nature but exhibit inverse return movements compared to equities. Although, Equities and Commodities have risk- return parity, the volume traded in commodities is much larger and have longer trading...

A long flexible neutral polymer chain immersed in a poor solvent and interacting with an impenetrable attractive surface exhibits a phase known as surface attached globule (SAG) in addition to other adsorbed and desorbed phases. In the thermodynamic limit, the SAG phase has the same free energy...

We use the lattice model of directed walks to investigate the conformational as well as the adsorption properties of a semiflexible homopolymer chain immersed in a good solvent in 2D and 3D. To account for the stiffness in the chain we have introduced energy barrier for each bend in the walk and...
