Recent Developments in Quark Nuclear Physics

We provide an overview of recent work exploring the quark-mass dependence of hadronic observables and the associated role of chiral nonanalytic behavior due to the meson-cloud of hadrons. In particular, we address an issue of great current interest, namely the degree of model independence of results obtained through a controlled extrapolation of lattice QCD simulation results. Physical insights...

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...

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 ...
