Ion-solid interaction: status and perspectives

Ion-Solid Interaction: Status and Perspectives

The past half century has seen an explosive growth of the discipline that is characterized by the deposition of localized high energy densities in solid matter, by means of energetic ions produced e.g. in particle accelerators. First the fundamentals of Ion-Solid Interaction are outlined. A brief overview is given about the basic energy transfer mechanisms and the consequences of ion impact int...

Municipal Solid Waste Management in Russian Federation: Status and Perspectives

INTRODUCTION Above 150 mln. m 3 (~37.5 mln. tonnes taking into account of density coefficient as 0.25) of municipal solid wastes (MSW) are annually produced in Russia (Cherp and Vinichenko (1996; Korneev & Bukreev, 2001). Landfilling is still the most common way for disposal of MSW in our country (Table 1). However, nowadays, MSW management in Russia is undergoing drastic changes (closure of ol...

Down Syndrome: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives

Down syndrome (DS) is a birth defect with huge medical and social costs, caused by trisomy of whole or part of chromosome 21. It is the most prevalent genetic disease worldwide and the common genetic cause of intellectual disabilities appearing in about 1 in 400-1500 newborns. Although the syndrome had been described thousands of years before, it was named after John Langdon Down who described ...
