Answer 1:
F... , you might be interested to know that most of the
scientists who answer questions here in the chemistry
section are NOT ANL scientists.
That said, you have to realize that this space is for
K-12 students and their teachers to ask chemistry questions,
and therefore this is not an appropriate place for your
question to receive a good answer.
Finally, you must admit that it's a little extreme to
ask someone to provide you with a review of 30 years of
literature... especially in responses of 25 lines or less,
the limit on NEWTON.
Good luck in your quest.
Ask a Scientist.

"Whatever the motivation may be, at least in the field of literary
endeavor, the interest in having anonymous works enter the marketplace of
ideas unquestionably outweighs any public interest in requiring disclosure
as a condition of entry.
Accordingly, an author's decision to remain anonymous, like other
decisions concerning
omissions or additions to the content of a publication, is an aspect of
the freedom of speech protected by the FirstAmendment.

"Interesting that that post would refer to my going to the U. of C. to use
the library. I could readily use the library at N.U. which is close to me. I
was during a sabbatical a visiting scholar at N. U. and that would readily
allow me to use the library. I still receive literature from N. U. about
what is happening at that university. A post not the same but similar to
this was directed to a location that was related to ANL. All I wanted was
somebody to tell me if they knew of any literature review that was related
to work in this field. I didn't save a copy of it (I don't even remember
when I sent it) but the question was for a direction to a review article if
one were readily available. What the anonymous sender of this present post
intended with the aimless post is very much questionable.
I don't quite remember any bulletin board named NEWTON but I have some fuzzy
recollection of it. I believe this was from some considerable number of
years ago.
Now the question arises as to who wrote this present post and what he/she
wants.
Question:
One might expect that I could find this myself but it might help me
considerably if someone at ANL was expert here and could find me stuff
almost off the top of his/her head. My doctoral thesis (1961) was on the
thermodynamics (heat of dilution) of strong electrolyte aqueous solutions.
Subsequent to that time I was shunted off into other areas (mostly edu-
cational rather than research) and totally lost contact with developments
in that field. I am now retired and would like to catch up here and see
what has happened in that field over the last 30 years. I know chemical
abstracts is the place to go but I would have to go all the way from the
northern suburbs to the U of C to use the library.
I don't believe that my contacts at NU would gain me access to the library there.
Besides one who was active in this field could probably direct me to good review
articles or books (at one time the Harned and Owen book was one of the best
references here.)
Thanks much to whomever has any expertise here and can get me started once
again in this field.

"Yes, and my freedom to listen to only those whose positions I find worthy is
unassailable. Deja User and paul... are now in my killfile.
Why in the world would somebody dredge up something from BBS days of a BBS
that was improperly identified in the lists of those days. The NEWTON BBS
was listed with a ANL location."

"No idea, but he/she has been here before using another 'anon' groups software.
Search 'sci' for 'anon' over the last six months, but whoever it is they
certainly appear to know you, or have specific knowledge about you.
Shame about the killfile, never mind."

I don't know, someone asks for help, you try to help them and then you end up wondering why you even bothered in
the first place.
"Now the question arises as to who wrote this present post and what he/she
