Applications of Recent Advances in Nuclear Physics to Cancer Research

THE immediate influence of the recent developments in nuclear physics upon the study of cancer is likely to be due to the provision of new and powerful tools for investigation and of new agents with therapeutic possibilities. It is more difficult to assess the significance of the studies of the mechanism of the biological action of radiations necessitated by the protection of large numbers of i...

Advances in estuarine physics.

Recent advances in our understanding of estuarine circulation and salinity structure are reviewed. We focus on well- and partially mixed systems that are long relative to the tidal excursion. Dynamics of the coupled system of width- and tidally averaged momentum and salt equations are now better understood owing to the development of simple numerical solution techniques. These have led to a gre...

Advances in atomic physics

In this review article, important devel opments in the field of atomic physics are highlighted and linked to research works the author was involved in himself as a leader of the Cairo University – Atomic Physics Group. Starting from the late 1960s – when the author first engaged in research an overview is provided of the milestones in the fascinating landscape of atomic physics. A R T I C L E I...

Recent Advances in Charm Physics

New results from charm experiments have led to renewed interest in this physics. The charm sector is now seen as a powerful tool to search for new physics and to advance our understanding of the standard model. We owe much of this progress to the combination of precision vertexing and large data samples collected by recent e + e − and fixed target experiments. Sensitivities to D 0 − D 0 mixing ...
