Hydration structure around a non-electrolyte molecule as revealed by monte carlo calculation: have you seen the “iceberg”?

Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out for pure water and an infinitely dilute aqueous solution of methanol at 298.15 K at ordinary density by the Metropolis method in NTV ensemble. The hydration structure around methanol revealed by a graphic display technique indicates a structure-forming effect near the hydrophobic group.     

Unreasonable postulate in the perturbative approach to quantum gravity

The conventional perturbative approach to quantum gravity is based on the expansion in powers of k, wherek denotes the Einstein gravitational constant. The introduction of a square root is due to the unreasonable postulate that thek0 limit of the gravitational field is ac-number. It is more natural that it is aq-number, which can be determined explicitly by the theory, and then the expansion becomes that in powers ofk but not of k. Thus the nonrenormalizability of Einstein gravity should be completely reconsidered in the light of the new expansion.
