     The solubility of alcohols in water is important in understanding
     alcohol transport in living organisms.  This dataset from
     (Romanelli et al., 2001) contains physicochemical characteristics
     of 44 aliphatic alcohols.  The aim of the experiment was the
     prediction of the solubility on the basis of molecular
     descriptors.
