where is the probability that the randomly inserted molecule of species will experience and attractive or zero net interaction; in other words, it is the probability that the inserted molecule does not 'overlap' with any other molecules.

“Many older wealthy families have learned to instill a sense of public service in their offspring. But newly affluent middle-class parents have not acquired this skill.

The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives.”
