Major accelerator facilities for nuclear physics in Asia Pacific

Ecologically Clean Accelerator for Nuclear Physics Research

Rigid ecological requirements to human activity including industry and science force to search for specific technologies to reduce the undesired influence on nature. High intensity accelerators belong to the objects that produce radioactive waste. We have studied rf accelerator schema where the electron beam used is directed again into the same accelerator with appropriate phase in order to red...

A Comparative Appraisal of Roadway Accident for Asia-Pacific Countries

This paper describes an attempt to shed some light on road safety in Asia Pacific region by characterizing and assessing its road accidents. The relevant national road accident data were extracted from centralized data sources of international agencies. Due to data incompleteness and missing values, 21 Asia Pacific countries, presenting more than half of the world’s population, were selected fo...

Incorporation of Medical Research and Education in Asia Pacific Region

The goal of medicine is to prevent harm as Hippocrates pointed out; “primum non nocere; first do no harm”. Has this fact been taken into account in developing Medical Education curricula in Asia? Frequency of diseases in Asia is different from high income countries (1, 2) and funds for research are lacking.  It is therefore important to allocate available funds to the most applicable issues to...

Determinants Of Financial Integration In The East Asia- Pacific Region

Regional Collaboration for Strengthening Medical Toxicology in the Asia Pacific Region

Medical toxicology is somehow a neglected field of medicine. Support for this discipline is necessary as there are many competing interests within a nation's public health priorities (1). In the previous issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, the essentials of the empowerment of medical toxicology in the Asia Pacific region have been discussed (2). Perhaps, there is now an urg...
