Recent Advances in Sawtooth Control

Important advances have been made recently in the invention and application of experimental methods to control the sawtooth instability in tokamak plasmas. The primary means of control involves the application of either ion cyclotron resonance heating, or electron cyclotron heating, with resonance very close to the q = 1 radius in the plasma core. Reported here are experiments which have succes...

Recent Advances in Access Control

Access control is the process of mediating every request to resources and data maintained by a system and determining whether the request should be granted or denied. Traditional access control models and languages result limiting for emerging scenarios, whose open and dynamic nature requires the development of new ways of enforcing access control. Access control is then evolving with the compl...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Recent advances in the treatment of tobacco dependence

Tobacco dependence is the leading preventable cause of adult morbidity and mortality in the world. Despite the magnitude of this global public health problem, relatively few medications (i.e. nicotine replacement therapy and sustained-release bupropion) are currently approved for the treatment of this pandemic. Nicotine and other components in tobacco smoke are more likely to produce a dependen...
