re Ovality

["R.A. van Gurp" <gurp[ AT ]pml.tno.nl>]

 Dear Dr. Shapiro
 I am working with the same Ovality definition as described by Bodor et al.
 Unfortunately I cannot answer your question but I would like to point out that
 in order to obtain a dimensionless ovality parameter (a ratio of two radii !)
 Formula 9 in JACS 111:3783 (Bodor et al. , 1989) should be read as
 O= (S/4*pi) / [(3V/4*pi)^2/3] , which also reproduces table II page 3786 of the
 same article.
 With kind regards,
