Abstract In this paper, we employ the concept of probability for creating a cavity with diameter d in fluid along with the perturbation and variation approach, and develop an equation of state (EOS) for a hard sphere (HS) and Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluids. A suitable axiomatic form for surface tension S(r) is assumed for the pure fluid, with r as a variable. The function S(r) has an arbitrary parameter m. S(r)=A+B(d/r)/[1+m(d/r)]. We use the condition in terms of radial distribution function G(d, η) containing the self-consistent parameter and the condition of continuity at r=d/2 to determine A and B. A different EOS can be obtained with a suitable choice of m and the EOS has a lower root-mean-square deviation than that of Barker-Henderson BH2 for LJ fluids.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
