Mean solute-solute forces and solute-induced solvent structure are investigated for pairs of chemically patterned (patched) solutes in binary mixtures near demixing coexistence. The isotropic and anisotropic hypernetted-chain integral equation theories as well as a superposition approximation are solved and compared. The patched solutes consist of one end that favors the majority species in the mixture while the other end favors the minority species. A wide range of patch sizes is considered. The isotropic and anisotropic theories are found to be in good agreement for most orientations, including the most attractive and most repulsive configurations. However, some differences arise for asymmetrical orientations where unlike ends of the solute particles face each other. In contrast, superposition often gives a rather poor approximation to the mean force, even though the results obtained for the solvent densities agree qualitatively with the anisotropic theory. The mean force is sensitive to small differences in the densities particularly near demixing. For patched solutes the influence of demixing-like behavior is evident both in the orientational dependence and in the range of the mean force acting between solutes.

Asymmetrical activation of right and left hemispheres differentially influences the autonomic nervous system. Additionally, each hemisphere primarily receives retinocollicular projections from the contralateral eye. To learn if asymmetrical hemispheric activation induced by monocular viewing would influence relative pupillary size and respiratory hippus variability (RHV), a measure of parasympathetic activity, healthy participants had their left, right or neither eye patched. Pupillary sizes were then recorded with infrared pupillography. Pupillary dilation was significantly greater with left than right eye viewing. RHV, however, was not different between eye viewing conditions. These differences in pupil dilatation may have been caused by relatively greater activation of the right hemispheric-mediated sympathetic activity induced by left monocular viewing or relatively greater deactivation of the left hemispheric-mediated parasympathetic activity induced by right eye patching. The absence of an asymmetry in RHV, however, suggests that hemispheric asymmetry of sympathetic activation was primarily responsible for this ocular asymmetry of pupil dilation.
