Hans Asperger (1906-1980)

Hans Asperger studied mental abnormalities in children in Vienna, Austria, in the early twentieth century. Asperger was one of the early researchers who studied the syndrome that was later named after him, Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger described the syndrome in his 1944 publication Die Autistischen Psychopathen im Kindesalter (Autistic Psychopathy in Childhood). At that time, the syndrome was c...

6 J ul 2 00 5 Hans Bethe and the Global Energy Problems . Boris Ioffe

Bethe’s view-point on the global energy problems is presented. Bethe claimed that the nuclear power is a necessity in future. Nuclear energetic must be based on breeder reactors. Bethe considered the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons as the main problem of long-range future of nuclear energetics. The solution of this problem he saw in heavy water moderated thermal breeders, using uranium-233...

Cancer Immunity, Vol. 5, p. 6 (22 March 2005)

There is considerable interest in developing immunotherapeutic approaches to elicit tumor-specific CTL responses in cancer patients. Epitope-based approaches aim to deliver the antigenic peptides or epitopes recognized by CTLs rather than the intact tumor antigen. Many tumor-associated proteins are nonmutated self proteins for which the dominant peptide epitopes are usually poorly immunogenic. ...

AWARDS ADMINISTERED July 2005

We extended the analysis of the thermal conductivity measurements of helium confined in cylindrical channels of glass capillary arrays to the case of rectangular channels. Measurements were made on plates with channels of 1x10 micro-m cross section, and simultaneously on bulk helium. To our great surprise the results show that the finite-size scaling-function for this geometry does not differ m...
