The interface between assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and genetics comprises several sensitive and important issues that affect infertile couples, families with severe genetic diseases, potential children, professionals in ART and genetics, health care, researc...

In Chapter 1 we introduced the numbers ( k n ) and called them binomial coefficients. It is time to explain this strange name: it comes from a very important formula in algebra involving them, which we discuss next.

The article gives a concise review on methods for solving the inverse scattering problem of coupled reaction channels in quantum mechanics at fixed energy and presents specific applications to nuclear reactions. Two methods are considered, namely the Newton–Sabatier me...

Plasma accelerators present one of the most suitable candidates for the development of more compact particle acceleration technologies, yet they still lag behind radiofrequency (RF)-based devices when it comes to beam quality, control, stability and power efficiency. Th...

Abstract There are two Triassic vertebrate sites in Villány Hills (Southern Hungary), where productive and continuous excavations have been carried out in the last six years resulting in a rich and diversified assemblage of shallow marine to coastal animals. The studied...

Autophagy as a natural part of cellular homeostasis usually takes place unnoticed by neighboring cells. However, its co-occurrence with cell death may contribute to the clearance of these dying cells by recruited phagocytes. Autophagy associated with programmed cell dea...

We discuss the problem of a spin 1/2 impurity immersed in a spin S magnetically ordered background. We show that the problem maps onto a generalization of the dissipative two level system (DTLS) with two independent heat baths, associated with the Goldstone modes of the...

After the First World War, the leader cult was a widespread phenomenon in Europe. These cults manifested themselves around the figure of political and military leaders, such as Hitler, Franco, Muss...

Glycated proteins are formed during the nonenzymatic reaction of glucose and amino groups of proteins. Hemoglobin A1c is formed by the condensation of glucose with the N-terminal valine residue of each beta-chain of hemoglobin A. The amount of glycated hemoglobin in blo...
