The general theory of irreversible processes in solutions of macromolecules
Abstract
The general theory of irreversible processes in solutions of macromolecules, previously formulated by the author, is reviewed. The theory is based upon the Oseen method for determining the perturbation in the hydrodynamic flow pattern produced by the frictional forces exerted by the macromolecule on the solvent, and on a generalized theory of Brownian motion in molecular configuration space. Applications of theory to viscoelastic behavior, flow birefringence, and the Kerr effect, and to dielectric dispersion are presented in outline.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
