Frontispiece
Abstract:
The frontispiece shows (in blue) a superfluid helium nanodroplet in which, after collisions with fullerene vapor, a dimer is formed. CH4 , H2 O or other molecules are added upon subsequent collisions. What are the adsorption sites and energies? Do molecules prefer hollow sites at the centers of carbon rings? The groove region of the dimer (pictured as a ring)? How many molecules fit into the groove, how many into a complete solvation layer? Or do they grow islands? These questions are addressed in the Minireview by O. Echt,. P. Scheier and co-workers on page 910 ff. by using mass spectrometry combined with quantum chemical calculations. Implications range from storage of hydrogen-rich gases to the origin of spectral absorption features in interstellar space, represented by the image of the tarantula nebula (http://www.eso.org/public/images/).

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
