The sensitivity of the calculated matter radius to the binding energy is exploited to estimate the 2n binding energy of 22C, using a recent experimental value of Rm=5.4(9) fm. The result is B2n < 220 keV, significantly smaller than another recent estimate. Disciplines Physical Sciences and Mathematics | Physics Comments Fortune, H. T. and Sherr, R. (2012).

OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to discuss the reasons that manuscripts fail to be published and to establish some principles for increasing the likelihood of publication. CONCLUSION Many good manuscripts fail to be published because they violate a few simple rules for writing a superior journal article. This review presents 10 principles for increasing the likelihood of manuscript...

This paper contains two main parts. First, we give an overview of photogrammetric and remote sensing techniques in applications related to disaster management procedures. Remotely sensed data potentially provides valuable seismicity-related data in terms of both assessing the potential of risk and defining the state of vulnerability. The paper illustrates the use of advanced remote sensing tech...

We review predictions for the energy of the excited 0+state of 12O and present new calculations of its width. Results are compared with those of a recent experiment.

This is an examination of two kinds of conversations that parents and children sometimes have about television programs: first, conversations in which parents and children seek and/or exchange information about some aspect of reality portrayed or referred to on television; second, conversations in which family members discuss the appropriateness or inappropriateness of behavior shown or mention...

The lattice dynamics of C60 has been studied first by means of group theory and then by diagonalizing the dynamical matrix for two recently proposed intermolecular potentials. The libron and phonon energies are calculated as a function of momentum along various symmetry directions with and without phonon–libron interactions. The effects of these interactions on the density of states are also di...

We describe and discuss various three-body decay mechanisms for 9Be(5/2−). We find that its decay to n+ 8Be(2+) is a small fraction of the total decay.
