Sommario/riassunto

This book covers the theory and applications of continuum solvation models. The main focus is on the quantum-mechanical version of these models, but classical approaches and combined or hybrid techniques are also discussed.Devoted to solvation models in which reviews of the theory, the computational implementationSolvation continuum models are treated using the different points of view from experts belonging to different research fieldsCan be read at two levels: one, more introductive, and the other, more detailed (and more technical), on specific physical and numerical aspects

Sommario/riassunto

Locating Black girls' desires, needs, knowledge bases, and lived experiences in relation to their social identities has become



increasingly important in the study of transnational girlhoods. Black Schoolgirls in Space pushes this discourse even further by exploring how Black girls negotiate and navigate borders of blackness, gender, and girlhood in educational spaces. The contributors of this collected volume highlight Black girls as actors and agents of not only girlhood but also the larger, transnational educational worlds in which their girlhoods are contained.
