This volume contains the written versions of invited lectures and abstracts of seminars presented at the 26th "e;Universitatswochen fiir Kernphysik"e; (Uni- versity nuclear physics weeks) in Schladming, Austria, in February 1987.
This book describes the manipulation of molecular properties, such as orientation, structure, and dynamics, of small molecules and molecular clusters isolated in cold inert matrices by using unprecedentedly strong external electrostatic fields.
Nuclear physics between 1921 and 1947 shaped more than anyother science thepolitical landscape of our century and thepublic opinion on physical research.
This book introduces vibronic coupling density and vibronic coupling constant analyses as a way to understand molecular structure and chemical reactions.
This book presents proton-3He elastic scattering experiments conducted at intermediate energies, with the aim of identifying three-nucleon force (3NF) effects in a four-nucleon scattering system.
"e;Exotic Atoms in Condensed Matter"e; reviews the state of theart in this field, from meson factories to the basicinteractions of muons in condensed matter.
This book is based on a nuclear physics course the author has taught to graduate students at the Physics Department, College of Science, University of Baghdad, Iraq, for the period 19782007.
RADIOACTIVE CLOUDS OF DEATH OVER UTAHFrom 1950 to the 1958 moratorium on atmospheric testing, the Atomic Energy Commission detonated over 100 atomic bombs at the Nevada Test Site.
In ›Die Erfindung der Philosophie‹ erkunden wir die faszinierende Reise des menschlichen Geistes von den mythischen Erklärungen der Welt zur rationalen Untersuchung und Reflexion, die wir heute als Philosophie kennen.
The universe is literally made of light One hundred years after they were written, Marie Curie's notebooks are still too radioactive to handle In 1974 we sent a message to star cluster M13.

For twenty-five years, the Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada was designated as the sole destination for disposal of the nation's accumulated stockpiles of highly radioactive nuclear power and weapons wastes.
An essential reference for journalists, activists, and students, this book presents scientifically accurate and accessible overviews of 24 of the most important issues in the nuclear realm, including: health effects, nuclear safety and engineering, TMI and Chernobyl, nuclear medicine, food irradiation, transport of nuclear materials, spent fuel, nuclear weapons, global warming.
