Ethnic and indegenous groups with spatial transient characteristic that live in modern countries can find themselves in a unique situation of an impounded space where on one hand they aspire to improve their condition and to integrate into the wide society, and on the other hand, they are debarred from this process due to various reasons. This situation compels them to live in substandard condi...

Theodor Förster: a giant of modern photochemistry.

The year 2011 marks the centenary of the birth of Theodor Fçrster, one of the giants of modern photochemistry. This issue is a celebration of Fçrster’s scientific achievements, and equally importantly, the science that has been enabled by his discoveries. His contributions are key to the understanding of important problems in excited-state photochemical reactions and the understanding of organi...

Kohn anomalies in superconductors.

I present the detailed behavior of phonon dispersion curves near momenta which span the electronic Fermi sea in a superconductor. I demonstrate that an anomaly, similar to the metallic Kohn anomaly, exists in a superconductor’s dispersion curves when the frequency of the phonon spanning the Fermi sea exceeds twice the superconducting energy gap. This anomaly occurs at approximately the same mom...

Emil Theodor Kocher--valve surgery for epilepsy.

Emil Theodor Kocher (1841-1917) was a pioneering and versatile Swiss surgeon who played a decisive role in the surgical evolution on the threshold to the 20th century. Apart from conducting intense research and fostering the development of the surgical treatment of thyroid gland diseases (honored with a Nobel Prize in 1909), he remained a generalist and was active in orthopedic, genitourinary, ...
