The effective interaction between a nucleon and nucleus is one of the most important ingredients for reaction theories. Theoretical formulations were introduced early by Feshbach Watson, efforts deriving computing those ‘optical potentials’ in microscopic fashion have long tradition. However, only recently leading order term Watson multiple scattering approach could be calculated fully ab initi...

Caring and nursing are so intertwined that nursing always appeared on the same page in a Google search for the definition of caring. Caring is “a feeling and exhibiting concern and empathy for others; showing or having compassion” (The Free Dictionary, 2002, para. 2).

In 1954 Max Delbrück published "On the Replication of Desoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)" to question the semi-conservative DNA replication mechanism proposed that James Watson [2] and Francis Crick [3] had proposed in 1953. In his article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences [4], Delbrück offers an alternative DNA replication mechanism, later called dispersive replication...

In the majority o f chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL), proliferative B lymphocytes are thought to be frozen in vivo at a given maturat ion stage (1). Recently, several studies have emphasized that CLL cells could be driven to different iate into plasma cells in vitro (with or without proliferation) upon t r iggering by mitogens (2, 3, 4) or T cel l -der ived factors (5, 6). Th u s far, howeve...
