Relation To Chemical Properties
Wiener showed that the Wiener index number is closely correlated with the boiling points of alkane molecules. Later work on quantitative structure–activity relationships showed that it is also correlated with other quantities including the parameters of its critical point, the density, surface tension, and viscosity of its liquid phase, and the van der Waals surface area of the molecule.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, chemical and/or properties:
“In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“The difference between objective and subjective extension is one of relation to a context solely.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.”
—Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
