Intriguing trends in nuclear physics authorship

Future Trends in Authorship Attribution

Authorship attribution, the science of inferring characteristics of an author from the characteristics of documents written by that author, is a problem with a long history and a wide range of application. This paper surveys the history and present state of the discipline – essentially a collection of ad hoc methods with little formal data available to select among them. It also makes some pred...

The intriguing plant nuclear lamina

The nuclear lamina is a complex protein mesh attached to the inner nuclear membrane (INM), which is also associated with nuclear pore complexes. It provides mechanical support to the nucleus and nuclear envelope, and as well as facilitating the connection of the nucleoskeleton to the cytoskeleton, it is also involved in chromatin organization, gene regulation, and signaling. In metazoans, the n...

Frontiers in Nuclear Physics

These are the proceedings of the symposium on “Frontiers in Nuclear Physics” held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef from June 18 to 20, 2009. The workshop concentrated on recent advances in the understanding of the nuclear forces, fewnucleon systems and related topics. Included are a short contribution per talk. ∗ This symposium was supported in parts by funds provided from the Helmholtz Associat...

Nuclear Physics

the first importance. Behnke has demonstrated that the "lean body mass," since it represents the active tissue of a person, is superior to reference standards hitherto proposed for the estimation of physiological functions such as the masses of various organs and tissues and the volumes of the different fluid compartments in the body. In the present article, which has been reprinted as a short ...
