A molecular dynamics simulation of an aqueous ammonium chloride solution has been carried out at a mass density of 1.027 g/cm3, corresponding to a 2.2 m solution, and at a temperature of T = 301 K. The effective pair potentials are based on the ST2 model of water, a rigid tetra­hedral four point charge model of NH4+ and a single point charge model of Cl-. The calculated structural properties of this solution are discussed and compared with those obtained for alkali halide solutions. The first hydration shell of the ammonium ion contains on the average eight water molecules, it has a more complex structure than the hydration shells of cations with spherical symmetry. The static orientational order of water dipole moments indicate a structure breaking ability of NH4+.

Four experiments were aimed at elucidating some aspects of the preference for facelike patterns in newborns. Experiment 1 showed a preference for a stimulus whose components were located in the correct arrangement for a human face. Experiment 2 showed a preference for stimuli that had optimal sensory properties for the newborn visual system. Experiment 3 showed that babies directed their attention to a facelike pattern even when it was presented simultaneously with a non-facelike stimulus with optimal sensory properties. Experiment 4 showed the preference for facelike patterns in the temporal hemifield but not in the nasal hemifield. It was concluded that newborns' preference for facelike patterns reflects the activity of a subcortical system which is sensitive to the structural properties of the stimulus.
