The thermodynamic data for toluene have been evaluated and fit to a highly constrained, nonanalytic equation of state. Comparisons of the equation with the selected PVT and derived property data are given. Extensive tables are presented providing tabular values for coexisting liquid and vapor as well as for the single phase along isobars. The equation of state and tables cover the range from the triple point (178.15 K) to 800 K, with pressures to 1000 bar.

Available data for vapor pressures and for the orthobaric densities of methanol are examined and formulated. Then, PpT data are correlated by an equation of state (EOS) which is constrained to the given coexistence boundary. Via ideal gas state specific heats, the thermodynamic properties of methanol then are obtained by numerical integrations of the EOS, and are tabulated along isobars. A comparison is made with some recent calorimetric enthalpy differences data over a wide range of the EOS surface.

The thermodynamic data for benzene have been evaluated and fit to a highly constrained, nonanalytic equation of state. Comparisons of the equation with the selected PVT and derived property data are given. Extensive tables are presented providing tabular values for coexisting liquid and vapor as well as for the single phase along isobars. The equation of state and tables cover the range from the triple point (278.68 K) to 900 K, with pressures to 1000 bar.

ICT has become an increasingly important factor in the development process of nations. Major barriers can be met in the adoption and diffusion of e-government services depending on the readiness of a country in terms of ICT infrastructure and deployment. This study aims to define organizational requirements that will be necessary for the adoption of e-government to resolve the delay of ICT readiness in public sector organizations in developing countries. Thus, this study contributes an integrated e-government framework for assessing the ICT readiness of government agencies. Unlike the existing e-government literature that focuses predominantly on technical issues and relies on generic e-readiness tools, this study contributes a comprehensive understanding of the main factors in the assessment of e-government organizational ICT readiness. The proposed e-government framework comprises seven dimensions of ICT readiness assessment for government organizations including e-government organizational ICT strategy, user access, e-government program, ICT architecture, business process and information systems, ICT infrastructure, and human resource. This study is critical to management in assessing organizational ICT readiness to improve the effectiveness of e-government initiatives.
